Novotel Cairo El Borg

Great hotel with beautiful views and outstanding staff. Highly recommended

Great location, outstanding staff, especially Ayaa and Mostafa at the front desk. Highly recommended hotel, and the rooftop is a breath taking

Great view and location! Very good breakfast buffet, and the staff was very helpful and courteous. The only issue was that some lighting was not working and limited supply of coffee and water. I recommend this hotel!

Novotel is a very clean and maintained hotel The staff is very respectful and professional I was extremely happy and extremely satisfied It is a recommended hotel

Food was great, clean and spacious rooms. Must do the ocean and snorkeling area

Clean room, the front deskthey let us wait for check in almost 2 hours with my kid with me and My Wife and I think they have the room too and they claimed they don’t have it ready

Rooms need a good clean

The rooms need serious clean and upgrade they are old and dated. The hotel is upgrading slowly but it really needs a thorough clean. The manager Aya was absolutely a gem such a wonderful person so accommodating She is truly what made our stay amazing

Great location, very helpful staff (let me check in at 11am), nice room, good breakfast, good room service

Nice modern room in good location on the river. Helpful staff, Good breakfast.

Good location to explore cairo and great breakfast and rooftop terrace

Excellent

Staff was absolutely 5 star! Room was perfect, Breakfast was a great variety and the cook to order was superb. Extended my stay!

Fantastic and safe location if you’re traveling to Cairo for the first time. It’s within walking distance to most of the tourist attraction sites. Staff are friendly, respectful and very helpful.

Always exceptional. My choice always in Cairo whe I travel solo and with group tours. IFTAR and the rooftop Nile panorama view restaurant is superb. This is a dry hotel and serves ZAMALEK- always a positive reflection of high quality business to see many high status Egyptians dining. The location is also exceptional and is a far better choice than Giza where

Everything was fine. Room, facilities, and food.

Very decent, clean, good location and superb view over the Nile

The size of the room was good-plenty of space for 2 people and luggage. I liked there was a full length mirror near the door plus a desk space with power, lighting and another mirror. The bed was comfortable but the bathroom was the only negative. The shower did not get very hot and the pressure was terrible. Amenities in the bathroom were basic- hand wash at the basin, showergel and shampoo only in the shower. In addition, there was only one sanitary bag and as the staff seemed to be predominantly male, I had to ask and explain myself at reception and then again to housekeeping what I needed (both men who seemed very embarrassed once they understood what I was asking for). Breakfast options were a good mix between Egyptian and western food. There is also an ATM inside the lobby. Rooftop restaurant with good views but does not serve alcohol.

Hotel was nice but too nosy you can hear outside Food was good as well as the breakfast Even though Egypt wasn’t what we expected was okay everyone scams you definitely be careful they all expect dollars even tho we’re in a different country most of the time whatever they try to sell you they triple the amount so feel free to walk away and put your price

We stayed three nights at Novotel Cairo El Borg, and the experience was… memorable in ways both intended and not. Breakfast was genuinely good — loads of variety and plenty of authentic dishes. Adults will love it. Kids and teens… less so, but that’s sort of the theme of the hotel. The pool is small, mostly shaded, and apparently governed by strict water‑displacement laws. Getting in and out “too energetically” is discouraged because “too much water comes out.” So yes, swim gently. There are two restaurants. The food is good, the service is glacial. The Italian restaurant has zero atmosphere, while the rooftop restaurant redeems itself with jaw‑dropping views — though you’ll have plenty of time to admire them while waiting for your order. The location is great, but if you want sleep, book a Nile‑view room. We had an Egyptian wedding happening outside our window, complete with music, cheering, and the full celebration soundtrack until late. Lovely cultural experience… not so lovely when you need some sleep. We booked a family room for four, which initially came with exactly one bed, an unmade sofa bed, and no bedding. To be fair, housekeeping fixed it quickly — but it does reinforce the point that this hotel is not built with families in mind. And that brings us to the biggest issue: the constant supervision. Travelling with teens felt like being followed by museum guards convinced your children were about to smash an antique vase. Filling a water bottle in the gym - no
