10/10 Excellent

Our stay at the Novotel went great. The staff were extremely helpful throughout the stay and the location was perfect. We were not too far away from Giza and not too far away from New Cairo. The area was very walkable as well.

Excellent location, walkable to a lot of attractions. Nile view room was amazing , the roof cafe was very nice. Breakfast was amazing, with wonderful staf. Rooms were comfy and clean. Not as big a hotel like the other ones on the Nile, but it was good for me.

10/10 Excellent

I was very surprised on how modern and clean the room was. The breakfast was also very pleasing and had a variety of options. Even the staff were smiling the whole time and were super nice. If I came to Cairo again, Novotel would be my go to.

Fadi, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our family of 4 with kids enjoyed our 4 nights at the Novotel. We came off an exhausting 14 hour layover and were happy with our suite. We were in a nonsmoking room facing the Nile on the 3rd floor and although we could hear some noise, it did not bother us. The view was amazing, the service was excellent, breakfast was good and the kids slept well on the pull out couch. We had a delicious meal at the rooftop restaurant. I would definitely stay here again when back in Cairo.
Julie, 4-night trip

Wonderful hotel, lovely pool, lovely food, nice staff (some confusion about what half board covers). But by far and away the most amazing thing was the view from the rooms and the roof top restaurant!

Amazing Stay – Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely loved everything about this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive, which made our stay even more special. The location was perfect, and the view of the Nile River was simply breathtaking. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Average stay

Hotel is average, we suffered a lot with the key, was not working properly for the elevator and the room and we had to go to the reception several times to fix it. No ironing machine in the room, no slippers, the shampoo was of a very poor quality

Zeinab, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a nice hotel and we enjoyed our stay here. The location is right by the Nile and across from a park. Th rooms are decent size and clean. The elevators are fast and we didn't have to wait longer for them. Service by the staff was prompt. We really enjoyed the breakfast served each morning. It had a lot of options and fueled us for the day. Overall, nice stay and highly recommend.
Muhammad, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The staff were very kind and courteous and spoke enough English to assist whenever we needed help. The hotel is starting to show its age a bit, but is still mostly well-maintained. Although the rooftop restaurant and the breakfast cafe were very good and convenient, it does feel a bit limited. The area outside the hotel can be a bit noisy at night, but my wife and I are used to sleeping in a loud environment. Overall, a pleasant experience.
Marco, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

First time in Egypt and I felt very safe here. The staff was very kind and helpful. Would come back
