Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah

Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah

10/10 Excellent
"This is one of the best hotels to stay in that is fairly near the Pyramid complex. I didn't bother with the cheap hotels, and it was all worth it! The rooms were spacious and clean. The food was good. The pool was a refreshing break in-between touring the hot, bustling city. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I would come back here again!"
