"Worth the money and very nice staff
Staff were amazing. Very friendly and we’re always happy to help. They provided a breakfast every morning which is brought to your room and the room was spacious and clean. Value for money I would say 10/10.

"The staff ( Ahmad, Omar, Saif,…) was really helpful and they did everything they can to make me stay at this hotel when I first got there, now I will stay there every time I go to Cairo, staff are very friendly and doing their best with some limited resources. "
"Our flight to Cairo arrived at 6am and we got to the hotel at around 8am hoping to at least leave our luggage until we could check in, but the hotel staff was able to check us in earlier which was very much appreciated.
The rooms were well designed and seemed newly renovated, our room had a jacuzzi also. There was a little smell in the bathroom which would go away but then come back, but in general it was a nice room. The staff was helpful and welcoming, and breakfast was a lot of food!
I would...

Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely amazing hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. I want to give a special shout-out to Mohamad at the reception bar — I had an issue with my suitcase not opening, and as soon as I mentioned it, he immediately asked me to bring it over. He managed to open it right away and even offered me a lock from his own pocket. Such kindness and helpfulness are truly rare!
The hotel is extremely safe, spotlessly clean, and the food is delicious. Don’t miss the breakfast — it’s one of the best I’ve ever had!
Highly recommended in every way. I would definitely come back!"
"Good and well worth the money but search the room for mosquito when you arrive. Downtown Cairo has mosquitos and I got bitten 5 times in one night until I killed them. I stayed in 4 different hotels around Egypt but only got bitten here in one night as I saw 2 mosquitos when I entered the room."
