A nice hotel, just too noisy for a good night sleep. To be clear the noise from outside. There were two other restaurants near by that parties till late, like 4:00 AM. Over all was good. Great staff and good amenities. Get a room on a higher level. The noise might not be as bad.

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.
