Riverfront glamour with Cairo at hand

A light-flooded lobby sets the scene with a glittering chandelier and a sweeping Nile view, then the mood shifts outdoors to a heated infinity pool that seems to spill right into the river. The day can start with Nespresso and Parisian pastries from the lobby café, then drift into a stroll along the private riverbank promenade that links the dining venues.

  • Infinity pool drama

    A heated outdoor infinity pool sits on the Nile, built for long, resort-style afternoons.

  • Dining along the promenade

    Six venues line the Nile walk, from grills to rooftop bites and sweet pâtisserie.

  • Geziroh Island positioning

    Set in Zamalek, steps from the upscale business district in central Cairo.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is in the perfect location in the middle of the Nile. However be forewarned, it is very, very noisy. The music from river boats blares until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. The pounding music from the disco goes on all night! The hotel seems to cater to a youngish, hip party crowd.

4/10 Fair

This is truly a dilapidated property from the 1980s. It has not been updated and needs more than just a lick of paint. The positives are the pool, the restaurants, the Nile position are unbeatable in Cairo, but the rooms are real letdown to be prepared for that, and the bathrooms are gross

Great Staff and super helpful. Location is super central but also shielded from noise etc. through being at the end of the island. Breakfast and drinks on the river terrace are great Wessam was amazingly helpful and it is no surprise that he has been at the hotel for years. I always find this hotel welcoming and simply better than other 5 star hotels in Cairo. The hotel is a great credit to the Sofitel brand.
