Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

Sofitel Cairo Downtown Nile

10/10 Excellent
"Everything about this hotel was excellent, a clean room with deep soaker tub and view of the Nile (executive room). All the staff from reception to housekeeper to lifeguard were pleasant and helpful beyond belief, I have never felt so pampered. The executive lounge was wonderful for food, snacks and drinks, all staff courteous and professional. I would highly recommend this hotel."
