"The service was basic "

"Where do I start… firstly they never told me my room was not ready until I contacted them the day before I was due to arrive to ask them about airport pick up then they arranged for me free of charge to stay in a hotel close by which was nice of them to do. When I went to view my room the next day the room was in a very bad condition. The bathroom was unusable. There was a very bad smell and I decided I’d no longer wanted to stay there and I went back to stay at the first hotel that they had arranged for me to stay in although the staff are very friendly and understanding and made necessary arrangements however it added on extra time that I needed to explore onto moving around buildings and rooms The rooms look nothing like the pictures they displayed on the website. The accommodation also has a different name to what they have on the website when you get there is called pyramid view in and not crown Plaza but again the rooms look nothing like they do in images there’s no giant windows there’s no bathtubs in the room. It’s a small tiny window however the only good thing I would say is that it has an amazing view of the pyramids. "

"The hotel was very clean. Staff was very accommodating. I would stay at this hotel if I wanted to stay in downtown Cairo. Great location for the price."

"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."

"The check-in at 1am was very smooth and the guy at the desk was so processional, welcoming and smiling. We were given a room with Nile view on the 15th floor which was really nice. The room was large and bed was comfortable. There was kettle for tea/coffee and tea bags, water bottles etc; we were given more every time we requested. The room was clean and the whole hotel was clean, though the carpets were a bit dated. The breakfast spread was superb and choices were really extensive. The man who made omelettes was very nice.The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much. There was a lot of security in the hotel too. The hotel itself is beautiful as it was a palace once and we got a guided tour of the palace which was very informative. The only slight negative was the speed of service during breakfast. We stayed for 4 nights and on 3 days we were not even asked about tea or coffee during breakfast. When we asked for hot coffee and hot milk, they came at different times and late so not enjoyable. The other negative was the housekeeping don’t check the toiletries level in the big bottles. First day there was no shower gel so we had to wait for 20 minutes to get one. On the last day we asked for hair conditioner which was totally empty and we waited for 1 hour before we got it. Unfortunately I had already gone out by that time to buy one for my wife who was in the shower. Having said that the overall experience was great and would definitely recommend this place. "

"clean room, great facilities, excellent friendly staff and tasty restaurant, very comfortable overall and highly convenient"
