Steigenberger El Tahir Hotel, Cairo

Kasr El Nile, Cairo, Egypt. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“This sophisticated customer has been shaking up the Downtown hotel scene since it opened in early 2017. From the vast, modern minimalist lobby with casual bar to the spacious, contemporary styled rooms, the Steigenberger is a soothing oasis right in the heart of the city.”

Fodors review:

“The efficient staff is eager to please at this hotel, which sits on a corner across from the Egyptian Museum. Street noise in this busy location is an issue, but it’s a small price to pay in exchange for the great location, service, and overall value for money.”

The location of the hotel is excellent and very convenient for exploring Cairo. The breakfast was diverse and enjoyable, the security standards were very good, and the gym was clean and well equipped.

The room size was smaller than expected, especially considering the price. Overall, the hotel felt a bit overpriced for the room experience.

Being asked to rate everything. Every restaurant meal and the managers upon checking out. In the restaurant, two servers attempted to get a review, interrupting our meal.

Very good

Clean, centrally located. Good bkfast

I booked one night fir myself before joining my tour group, fir 2nights at the Steigenberger. On arrival noone was able to confirm that the 2 nights with the tour group were registered. They claimed not to know who I was, were not expecting me and had never heard of 'G adventures' -the tour group I was joining the followng night. This, despite the fact that G adventures use this hotel regularly. This was unsettling as my main reason for booking an extra night at this ( expensive) hotel rather than any other was to ensure a smooth and hassel free joining with the group tour. Reception having no record of my booking for the following 2 nights and my not being 'expected' was a cause for some concerned for a single person in a new city. I am disappointed that this was the case.

An exceptional stay with outstanding service, wonderful staff, and a truly memorable experience.

I would like to sincerely thank all the staff of Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo for the excellent hospitality and outstanding service during our stay. Everything has been truly wonderful — the professionalism, cleanliness, comfort, atmosphere, and the warm welcome made our experience in Cairo even more special. I would also like to express special appreciation to Mr. Magdy for his kindness, professionalism, and the way he handled everything with great care and respect. He was extremely helpful and made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. The hotel location is perfect, the service quality is excellent, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Thank you once again for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely recommend your hotel to friends and family and hope to visit again in the future.

Nothing at all. Everything was perfect, from the service and cleanliness to the staff professionalism and overall atmosphere.

Well-run hotel with excellent service and genuinely helpful team

The hotel staff were brilliant: friendly, helpful and professional throughout, including reception, housekeeping, doormen and breakfast. The hotel was super clean. Great breakfast choices including gluten-free. The team were helpful throughout our stay, including returning a charger we had left in the room after we checked out and arranging a last minute taxi to the airport. A sincere thank you to the whole team for making our stay so enjoyable.

Perhaps the hotel lobby looks a tad dated.

Polite friendly stuff, clean environment, professionalism, big and convenient room.

Noisy aircondition, heavy mattress, very thick pillow. Too expensive for this period. We made the reservation before US IRAN warfare for almost 200 euros per night and now is at 120 euros. Meaning a very large profit percentage.
