I recently stayed at the Sofitel Hotel in Cairo and had a mixed experience. The view from my room was absolutely breathtaking, offering a stunning panorama of the Nile and some city that I thoroughly enjoyed. The pool and spa facilities were excellent and provided a great place to relax. The food options were varied and delicious, catering to a range of tastes. However, I did encounter some challenges with communication. Many of the front desk and restaurant service staff did not speak to me in English, which made it difficult to understand what was being said. Overall, while the facilities were great, I wish the service staff were more proficient in English to enhance the overall guest experience for international travelers.

The Nile location greatly contributed to the user experience. The staff was friendly and responded immediately to every request. After 2007, it would be time for another renovation of the rooms and the pool area, as these areas are showing some weaknesses. It should be noted that despite this, cleanliness was always maintained, and the cleaning staff did a good job.

One star is more than enough for the level of service.they kept me till after 5 to check me in and made all kinds of excuses ,and when confronted they just started smirking ,it made me feel that they are used to dealing like that with their guests . At the end I got a bill for over $130 for some chocolate and chips from my fridge ,not including any alcohol and when I told the staff checking me out ,some guy called Samer I got another dirty laugh and not even a hint of wanting to try to do something. Overall a nasty stay
