"We absolutely loved the pool area! And the staff were all very nice and helpful. I would like to specifically mention Mohammed Feasal working at Olives, he was awesome. Very kind, funny and provided perfect service. He made the stay there even better. I hope someone from the hotel reads this and gives him a nice bonus."
"Incredible spa ! The yoga teacher is fantastic - pool is gorgeous- many little paths with beautiful daybeds and seating - the farm is so clean and well run. Food is fabulous!

"Handy airport hotel with kind and helpful staff and a relaxing pool. Excellent value for the money! I always stay here on my way out of Cairo. Highly recommend."
"We had a very good stay at the Sofitel. The pool area was very nice and the lobby is beautiful. Only drawback is the smoke in the lobby. Makes it harder to enjoy. Room was a bit small as well but ok. Staff were helpful. The other Sofitel in Cairo is at a better location though so I would stay there next time."
"Room clean and spacious, room service is excellent very friendly staff
I only had to wait for about half an hour to get my room at check in. But this is understandable.
Breakfast is tasty, in room food is well served"
"Best hotel in Cairo, so close to the Pyramids. Beautiful sunset views from the rooms, from the gardens and Restaurant 139. Staff was so friendly and helpful, loved the grounds. Pool was great to cool off and beat the heat. Oh and the history, I didn’t realize it was so famous for many different reasons, similar to Waldorf Astoria in NYC. If visiting Cairo, it’s a must to be at this hotel."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our stay at the Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis exceeded every expectation and was the perfect way to begin and end our trip to Egypt.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with exceptional hospitality. A special thank you to Sama, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. She truly made us feel at home. The rest of the staff were just as wonderful—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their genuine hospitality made our experience even more memorable.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, elegant, spotless, and incredibly luxurious. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully prepared. The bed was so comfortable that it was the perfect place to unwind after long days of exploring Egypt.
One of the sweetest surprises was for my birthday. The hotel gifted me a beautiful chocolate cake, and it was honestly one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever had! It was such a thoughtful gesture that made my birthday feel extra special.
To make the stay even more unforgettable, we even experienced an earthquake during the night! Thankfully, everyone was safe, and the hotel staff remained calm and professional throughout. It’s certainly a birthday trip we’ll never forget!
The breakfast was outstanding, with an incredible variety of delicious international and authentic Egyptian dishes. Every meal we enjoyed at the hotel was excellent!"
"Lovely Pension type hotel, occupies 2 developed gigantic apartments in one of downtown Cairo’s buildings from the glory days.
High level of finishing and attention to detail for Cairo standard.
Location, Location, Location.
In the heart of downtown, in the middle of it all. Or a short hop to any destination.
Must visit: cafe American, cafe Riche, fulfill for street food brought inside.
Makan for a psychedelic session.
Try to request a Fourth Floor Room. Where windows are soundproof."
