"Incredible spa ! The yoga teacher is fantastic - pool is gorgeous- many little paths with beautiful daybeds and seating - the farm is so clean and well run. Food is fabulous! Truly farm to table and the management is really fantastic. Lots to do from pottery - bike riding - little shops on resort property- love this place !!"
"We absolutely loved the pool area! And the staff were all very nice and helpful. I would like to specifically mention Mohammed Feasal working at Olives, he was awesome. Very kind, funny and provided perfect service. He made the stay there even better. I hope someone from the hotel reads this and gives him a nice bonus."

"It is a small property, located in a quiet residential area in new Cairo, with short walk to some shops. Reasonably priced compared to similar rooms in bigger hotels.
If you have a plan to visit historic sites or specific places, Uber will be your best choice for transportation."
"We were looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten path experience and this was it. Having the opportunity to stay the night in the dessert, ride camels and quads through sand dunes, watch a beautiful sunset, listen to traditional Bedouin music and have a delicious meal were outstanding. We would definitely recommend."
"This was very nice, thank you very much!! 20mn from sphinx international airport which was very handy for us to fly the day after. Inside all is a super new, but most nice is the 1st class service of this family serviced apartment. Arranged us food delivery in evening that she even brought it to the room. No really that was very nice to be. Only regret is to have been only one night. I would have found them before, i would stay at least 2 nights to rest more and make maybe a laundry."

"We had a very good stay at the Sofitel. The pool area was very nice and the lobby is beautiful. Only drawback is the smoke in the lobby. Makes it harder to enjoy. Room was a bit small as well but ok. Staff were helpful. The other Sofitel in Cairo is at a better location though so I would stay there next time."
"Room clean and spacious, room service is excellent very friendly staff
I only had to wait for about half an hour to get my room at check in. But this is understandable.
Breakfast is tasty, in room food is well served"
"Best hotel in Cairo, so close to the Pyramids. Beautiful sunset views from the rooms, from the gardens and Restaurant 139. Staff was so friendly and helpful, loved the grounds. Pool was great to cool off and beat the heat. Oh and the history, I didn’t realize it was so famous for many different reasons, similar to Waldorf Astoria in NYC. If visiting Cairo, it’s a must to be at this hotel."
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our stay at the Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis exceeded every expectation and was the perfect way to begin and end our trip to Egypt.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with exceptional hospitality. A special thank you to Sama, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. She truly made us feel at home. The rest of the staff were just as wonderful—friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their genuine hospitality made our experience even more memorable.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning—beautifully designed, elegant, spotless, and incredibly luxurious. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with every detail thoughtfully prepared. The bed was so comfortable that it was the perfect place to unwind after long days of exploring Egypt.
One of the sweetest surprises was for my birthday. The hotel gifted me a beautiful chocolate cake, and it was honestly one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever had! It was such a thoughtful gesture that made my birthday feel extra special.
To make the stay even more unforgettable, we even experienced an earthquake during the night! Thankfully, everyone was safe, and the hotel staff remained calm and professional throughout. It’s certainly a birthday trip we’ll never forget!
The breakfast was outstanding, with an incredible variety of delicious international and authentic Egyptian dishes. Every meal we enjoyed at the hotel was excellent!"
