Sofitel Hotels in Cairo

The hotel is OK, it should be high-end for Egypt, but some details are not good, such as the balcony window in the room cannot be closed. The staff is very kind. I saw other comments saying that the staff is not good. This should be a cultural problem. The staff I met are very good, but the speed is a bit slow compared to other places in foreign countries. The food in the several restaurants in the hotel is good, there is also an Asian restaurant, the overall price is not expensive, and the food quality is high. The bad thing is that the area around the hotel is a bit messy, and some street kids will ask you for money, but this is very common in Egypt. Try to take Uber when you go out. The price of the car is very cheap. Remember to bargain with the driver. Especially friends in China, they may be too accustomed to or do not understand the Egyptian culture, and will pay several times more. For example, the ride from the airport to this hotel is about 300-400 Egyptian pounds, which is more than enough. I saw that it is $15 USD online 😂 Overall, this hotel is worth recommending👍

The hotel is in a good location, by the beautiful Nile River, about 2 kilometers from the city center. The room is clean, there is no toothbrush, disposable slippers, and the plug needs to be converted to European standards. Most hotels in Cairo are relatively old, so don't be too demanding, just be happy staying here 😊
