10/10 Exceptional

Terrific hotel
I was in Cairo for the first time and made the right choice staying at the Sofitel. Check in time was not until 3pm and my flight landed in Cairo at 6am. Yet, the staff was able to accommodate early check in so that my wife and I could rest. We just had to wait 3 hours so that they can prepare our room. The quality of food and beverages is outstanding. The natural juices are truly natural and not watered down. The service from everyone was terrific. The location is a very good location and accessible via car. The building itself is old and so definitely don’t expect a brand new renovated room. But even though the building is older, it is really clean. We asked for room service on 2 nights and Mohammad came to deliver the food. He was courteous and friendly and super professional. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at and each is unique. If ever in Cairo in the future, we will strongly consider the Sofitel again. The quality was great.

The overall is very good, the only issue is the low telephone response. I tried to contact the resturants for booking, however most of times no reply. When I checked out the receptionist asked me for the cost of telephone call I didn’t made.

Awful hotel
Very poor standard for a Sofitel, people were very unfriendly I spoke to customer services twice and was shocked by the sarcastic replies I received. On both nights we were there ALL restaurants were fully booked by guests not Staying in the hotel!

6/10 Good

Decent value but small rooms and dated look.
Dated hotel, with tiny rooms, slow elevators, dark, cavern like reception and low ceilings. Not well maintained as A/C was not working when we arrived and had to call maintenance. Cheap toiletries but excellent water pressure in the shower. Expensive but disappointing and overcrowded breakfast buffet. Pleasant waterfront restaurant served average quality dinner.

10/10 Exceptional

Great staff and decent location
The staff were incredible throughout and made our stay great. The hotel itself could probably do with some refreshing, with some areas looking like they haven’t been modernised in decades. That being said, the lobby is very nice and the pool is decent. Breakfast was a buffet with a good range and there were egg/pancake stations providing freshly cooked meals if desired. The chef cooking the omelettes did a particularly good job. Location is good for exploring the tourist hotspots. Traffic permitting, it’s about half hour to the Giza pyramids, 5 minutes to the museum (although that’s soon to move) and 15-20 minutes to anything else like the market. Overall, very happy with our stay and would recommend the hotel for someone looking for a base to explore Cairo.
