5 Star Hotels in Sahara Desert, Africa

"Lovely room with great Malin- Gosh toiletries, big shower, comfy robe and pillows and mattress . I had a long layover and they let me stay late for checkout as well as stay on the premises all day using the pool , etc. there’s were three restaurants all great, and one serving a great breakfast buffet for &20.00. I highly recommend staying here. They provided a shuttle to the International terminal every 1/2 hour around the clock. "

"We really enjoyed our stay at Sofitel Downtown. The staff particularly are really friendly and helpful. The location by the Nile was perfect for walks down the Corniche. The food was good at all their restaurants, the concierge set us up with our guide for three days at prices that were comparable to others per my research. I wish I had booked some time at the Spa, but the pool was lovely too. I’d highly recommend this hotel. "

"Great hotel, super friendly staff and impeccable service. Great breakfast too."

"I expected a 5-star experience at Le Passage, but it was subpar at best. The main attraction, the casino, is randomly open but generally closed, and the "disco" was an abandoned, "couples-only" ghost town. Every gift shop looked dusty and forgotten, with employees just staring at their phones. The "luxury" ends at the lobby. The room was a disaster: the beds are on wheels, so you're constantly rolling around, and the AC is purely for aesthetics. It stayed uncomfortably hot and humid all night. To make it worse, the door lets in a ton of light and the noise levels were unfortunate. I was constantly woken up late at night and early in the morning. They nickel-and-dime you for everything, the drinks are overpriced and not worth buying, and the experience just isn't there. The only saving graces were the great pool, the nice staff and the free airport transfer. The mid-range buffet was fine, and the free laundry for long stays is awesome, but it doesn't make up for the lack of sleep and closed amenities. It’s a 3-star hotel with 5-star prices. Skip it."

"Very clean , nice restaurants "

"Staff were incredibly attentive and helpful. The room was beautiful and kept clean."

"The check-in at 1am was very smooth and the guy at the desk was so processional, welcoming and smiling. We were given a room with Nile view on the 15th floor which was really nice. The room was large and bed was comfortable. There was kettle for tea/coffee and tea bags, water bottles etc; we were given more every time we requested. The room was clean and the whole hotel was clean, though the carpets were a bit dated. The breakfast spread was superb and choices were really extensive. The man who made omelettes was very nice.The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was too much. There was a lot of security in the hotel too. The hotel itself is beautiful as it was a palace once and we got a guided tour of the palace which was very informative. The only slight negative was the speed of service during breakfast. We stayed for 4 nights and on 3 days we were not even asked about tea or coffee during breakfast. When we asked for hot coffee and hot milk, they came at different times and late so not enjoyable. The other negative was the housekeeping don’t check the toiletries level in the big bottles. First day there was no shower gel so we had to wait for 20 minutes to get one. On the last day we asked for hair conditioner which was totally empty and we waited for 1 hour before we got it. Unfortunately I had already gone out by that time to buy one for my wife who was in the shower. Having said that the overall experience was great and would definitely recommend this place. "

"Having breakfast outside viewing the pyramids is amazing. The closeness of the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum makes it the only place to stay,"

"Amazing place "
