The hotel offers modern and large rooms with very comfortable beds, but they face West and become very hot in the afternoons due to direct sunlight. The noise levels were high, making it difficult to sleep, especially with balcony doors that didn't close perfectly. The cleanliness was not up to standard, with unpleasant odors from the bedding and towels, and most toiletries were only provided upon request.

The service was extremely helpful and pleasant, particularly in the Club lounge where Mr Yasser and Mr Mohamed led a team that offered superb and efficient service with a smile. Staff members like Reda, Mahmoud, Amr, Tamer, Esraa, and trainees were brilliant. The hospitality was commendable, with Ms Caroline standing out for her proactive approach during check-in and continuous follow-ups to ensure our satisfaction.

The hotel offers a mix of excellent and disappointing features. The rooms are fairly small and in desperate need of renovation but provide sessions of massage. The service is a mixed bag with aggressive behavior yet excellent and cheerful staff. The location is fantastic with lovely views of the Nile, despite being very noisy at times. The dining experience varies from very poor to spot on, depending on the offerings. Overall, it's a hotel with ups and downs that can be a wonderful place to enjoy the view of the Nile River and the city.

Although the room was not ready upon our arrival, which was disappointing, it turned out to be delightful, clean, and welcoming with nice touches like art books and chocolates. However, the rooms are very tired and in need of renovations, especially new carpets and regrouted bathrooms. The service was a mix of professional and friendly, with standout individuals like Mohamed Ibrahim and Mr Richard, while some areas lacked efficiency and had loud staff. The location was beautiful, being in the center of Cairo close to everywhere, although the map can be deceiving about accessibility. The dining options, though limited, were up to standard. Overall, the hotel offers a mixture of positives and negatives.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with clean and comfy rooms and super friendly staff. The view of the Pyramids and Citadel from my room was amazing, but the high price for full Nile view rooms might not be worth it. The personalized touches like flowers and heart-shaped blankets, along with the complimentary cake and dessert, added to the experience.

The hotel offers panoramic rooms with all needed amenities and the best views of Cairo, although there can be a cigarette smell in the room. The rooms are very comfortable and well-equipped. The service is excellent under the leadership of Mr Yasser, providing high-level hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The location is particularly good for a view of the Nile, but may not always feel safe or clean. The dining experience at Le SUD is at the highest standard, with various delicious options available. The facilities are well-maintained and include a nice pool with a great Nile River view.

The hotel offers beautiful views of the city and is equipped with the latest facilities, but the rooms seem old and not very clean. The service is attentive and helpful but reservations were not managed well. The location, though not as expected on the map, offers the best view of the Nile. The dining experience is outstanding, especially with dinners overlooking the Nile. It’s a paradise worth the visit, but service could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was truly amazing. The rooms had a nice view over the Nile with a spectacular view of the Nile & the Pyramids in the background, although it felt set up for one guest rather than two as there was only one bathrobe, slippers, and mug provided. The service was a mix with some staff being unfriendly and unhelpful, but the housekeeping and duty manager stood out with their welcoming attitude. The location was perfect, easy to reach, and one of the best in Cairo, with friendly and helpful staff always around. The dining experience was splendid, offering a fantastic array of Egyptian and French cuisine, although missing smoked salmon from a previous stay.
