I had a nice stay at Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah, enjoying beautiful views of the Nile and experiencing really good service from the staff. However, the noisy environment and overpriced tours were significant downsides. The room was nicely maintained but could use some updates to improve comfort further.
