10/10 Eccezionale
20 lug 2025
I had a wonderful stay at the Sofitel Nile El Gezirah. I preferred it to the others for a very specific reason: its exceptional location, on an island in the middle of the Nile. You are not on the banks of the legendary Nile, but in it! In an oasis of peace. Absolutely fabulous.
Every night we dined in one of the hotel's various restaurants, all excellent, practically pieds-dans-l'eau, watching the boats go by, in a beautiful atmosphere.
Although the hotel has some years, it is iconic and very well maintained. It fully maintains Sofitel standards, has its own modern and classic elegance at the same time, also embracing the Middle Eastern style, well contextualized in its city.
The lobby is magnificent, with a large designer staircase and high windows that open to the garden with tall palm trees and the Nile. The room was very nice, spacious, well-kept and clean, with very comfortable beds, something I value given my back problems, and the coffee corner very well equipped.
Our room was on the 19th floor, and the music mentioned in some reviews only served as a light background, we always slept well.
The staff is super nice, the service really top notch! On my birthday, without me saying anything, they gave me a wonderful surprise by having an exquisite cake in my room that tasted like it was made by top pastry chef Iginio Massari! A truly most welcome gift, a clear sign of Sofitel's impeccable style.
For my next trip to Cairo, I will definitely come back here!
