Sofitel Cairo Maadi Towers, Cairo, Egypt - Reviews and Hotel Information

When I checked out this hotel’s website I was a little confused – how could it have just 160 rooms yet be a tower block? However, it does indeed stand 16 floors above the Nile and the rooms are well spread out to make the most of the available views - the Nile from the fron and The Pyramids from the back.

My room was on the fifth floor, looking across the Nile and down on the pool. Yes, the front of the hotel is noisy with traffic, but it didn’t bother me at all – I still managed to fall asleep by the pool with great ease.

The room was comfortable and spacious with twin beds and plenty of wardrobe space. There were very few clothes hangers, but I plan to ask for more and see what happens. Towels were thick, fluffy and plentiful, as were toiletries.

I was rather disappointed in the balcony as, although furnished with cane table and chairs, they were covered with thick dust. I accept that a lot of dust is to be expected from the traffic on the busy road before, but there was way too much dust for the balcony to have been recently cleaned. I Later larned that there were dust and sand storms while we were here, which probably explains a lot.

The staff are superb – helpful, anxious to please, always trying to anticipate your needs.

The Pullman bar is a great place to go for a drink, and there's live music four nights a week.

There are several restaurants to choose from and a courtesy bus service to the City several times a day.

The hotel has its own casino and a spa which appears to be used by guests and visitors alike.

The view of the Nile at The Corniche is hard to beat.
