Beach Hotels in Egypt from NZ$193

"The Sofitel Hotel Cairo Downtown Nile was absolutely exceptional and exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, valued, and genuinely cared for. The staff is truly outstanding — professional, warm, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile. Every interaction felt thoughtful, and they made sure my every need was met throughout my stay. The hotel has an older charm and boutique appeal that makes it feel special, warm, and intimate. It is elegant without feeling cold or impersonal. Honestly, the hotel feels like a warm hug. After long days of exploring Cairo, it was such a comfort to return to a place that felt safe, relaxing, and welcoming. One moment that really stood out was when one of the bellmen made sure my tour guide had arrived at the correct hotel before I went out alone. That may seem like a small gesture, but it meant so much to me and showed the genuine care the staff has for their guests’ safety and comfort. The amenities also made the stay even better. We visited the spa, and it was wonderful — the perfect way to relax and unwind. Having a bank inside the hotel was incredibly convenient and made it easy to access cash when needed. We ordered room service, and the food was delivered quickly and efficiently. The staff even set up a beautiful table so I could truly enjoy my meal, which was such a lovely touch. The food and drinks were also a highlight. My sister loved their cosmos, and the bartender personally came over"

"The food is very good, abundant and large variety. We spent majority of time in main dining room and the beach restaurant for lunch, to stay close to the beach. The animation team were fun and dynamic. Facility is clean. The front desk seemed chaotic and disorganized. Initial check in was uninformative about the resort and amenities. We had to inquire for a map and figure it out. No introduction about the facility. Other than the initial reception, everything was great!"

"My family and I had a lovely time staying at this hotel. It is very convenient as it is so close to the Cairo Airport. The staff were very kind and welcoming as soon as we arrived. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of food choices, the views were beautiful and the rooms were always spotless because of the awesome housekeeping. Would definitely recommend if you are in Cairo!"

"They need so much to do to become three star hotel. I don’t know how they put there self five stars hotel."

"A well kept property with plenty of public spaces. They don't accept Amex despite advertising that they do and you have to pay for the stay at check-in, as opposed to leaving a credit card pre-authorisation, which means you need to settle any charges separately with another transaction. I got both the room upgrade and $25 Gold Member credit at check-in"

"Good"

"What a first class hotel this is! The staff are impeccable and delivered a world class service from every single member. We were greeted by the door staff every time we returned from a trip with "Welcome home " The piano player in the bar was fantastic. Sky bar had spectacular view. The bar staff were exceptional , and attentive in particular Hadder and Ahmed they really are outstanding. The hotel is central and views are amazing of the city and the Nile. Amenities were 5 star from the variety of restaurants, gardens, pool and grandeur of the hotel generally. I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Thank you to all of you for making our stay so special."

"All good"

"The hotel is a new property, contemporary decorated. All areas are clean. The room was not clean at check in. There was a fine dust at the floor, also at the wooden separation board between the bed and the living area, the house keeping was going to clean it but I was very tired because I had some issues with the check in so I took the room after a long waiting time and I needed to sleep that's why I asked him to continue cleaning it the next day but he didn't unfortunately, otherwise, he was helpful. The A.c was too loud at night. They gave me a bed for the little baby, but it hadn't a mattres, we didn't use it as it was hard. Bathroom looks like not new, ceiling of the shower was with peeling paint. Food was excellent, with high quality and lot of varieties. Also drinks and beverage were as good as the food. Only a little comment about,Flies could be found on the main restaurant at the cheese bar, I don't know if they like the cold part of the buffet. Bars and cafes are well managed, everything is everywhere, you don't have to go far for a specific need. Even the night show was with a very good quality, dancers are professionals. G.M. Mr. Nader who was a very gentle man invited us to a vip party in the Lebanese restaurant, that was a good night, I enjoyed the food made by turkish top chief Sadat, a very serious man. Most of the staff were helpful, Lough to you and always welcoming you. Mr. Youssry is the man of the hotel, thanks to him our stay wil be unforgettable."
