Steigenberger El Tahir Hotel, Cairo

Great showers, clean, wonderful location! Get the room service breakfast. One breakfast was enough for two. Hotel sent a maintenance person, Sami, who lent us an adapter to charge my husband’s cochlear accessories.

Feels extremely insulated from the Cairo experience.

Location, easy late check-out, great breakfast buffet, heated pool

No swimming after sunset which beats the purpose of having a pool. As is usual in these types of hotels, no possibility to open windows and no rooftop/view

Breakfast

Clean, comfortable room. No noise from the road, since the room was at the 10th floor. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Fast wifi. Perfect breakfast with local tastes. Very helpful staff. Ultimate safety. Nice lobby bar.

Price a little high. Also during reservation through Booking, the price didn't include VAT and local taxes, so it resulted higher than the price initially noticed.

Great location - amazing breakfasts

Pool closes too early at 6:30pm

Great hotel, very central, polite & helpful staff, and good facilities. It will make your staying in Cairo smooth. 5 stars!

The facilities and the staff were amazing - 100% recommend!

Everything - a must stay! Location is great

Great hotel in eveything!!!

Location is great for sightseeing, staff is very attentive and breakfast is really good with so many options.

Rooms are not the biggest

Very modern, clean and hospitable

Excellent hotel, situated right in the heart of Cairo. The property is remarkably modern and spotlessly clean throughout. The staff is simply exceptional—true professionals who are always willing to help, efficient, and friendly. The food was flawless. My reservation included breakfast, which was one of the best I’ve ever had: rich and delicious. I also ate at the hotel three times—once at the buffet and twice à la carte—and every meal was high-quality and flavorful. I would definitely return and highly recommend it to everyone. Additionally, the hotel has excellent security measures in place

Nothing.Everything was perfect

Location was great. Cleanliness was exceptional. Very good staff

The location of the hotel is great and is within easy walking distance of the Old Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. The room was a good size with a nice bathroom. Breakfast wasn't included in our booking. We did eat in the restaurant which did a great buffet for evening meal.

The hotel feels cramped and the facilities are limited.

Great location, very good guest service, nice food at breakfast, and really good value for money We stayed here twice during our one week trip

Great location, easy by foot for great shopping, dining options and museums in the city center.. it was one of the best breakfast buffets I have had during my trip in Egypt. Cold and warm dishes and always full choices from the early morning opening until they close the buffet.

The room is a bit small and you can’t open the window, no balcony rooms available

Services

Clean

Hotel in good location.Staff was very helpful and kind . Breakfast was exceptional!!! Room was good too . They even gave us late check out which we appreciate it a lot!

The bed was too close to the wall in one side . But nothing else . Everything else was very good.

Location and clean nice stuff

Comfortable and clean

The hotel staff were incredibly kind and helpful.

The breakfast buffet was amazing!! Lots of choices and eggs/omelets made to order!!

The A/C was lacking in our room but it was manageable.

My day was pleasant. Everything was nice, clean and neat. The staff was very helpful. I like the breakfast buffet. The staff was really really nice and they have very fast response. I really like the safety and the fact that they search everyone who goes in and out of the facility, I liked that I felt very, very safe and secure in the hotel.

I had an issue with the plug near my bed. The electricity was not working and it kept going in and out. They really were helpful and they send an electrician right away, but it kept like causing me issues throughout my state, but other than that, everything was really fine.

Super nice hotel with great service. Very close to the old Egyptian Museum (walking distance). The old museum is still open and its nice to see both, the GEM and the old museum. The bar at the swimming pool has very good Egyptian white wine.

Big travel groups that make the entrance area too noisy and too crowded

The hotel location was great and very clean everywhere inside. The staff was welcoming, cheerful and always ready to help. For breakfast there were good choicese and we enjoyed it fully. Meals quality was good too.

Great location but we particularly liked the excellent customer service Welcoming and efficient reception staff Great breakfast and attentive chef support! Swift response by maintenance team to a room issue

Service was really good - super friendly staff!

Almost everything about this hotel was good, including Location, Staff, Breakfast and rooms

The duvet on my bed was rather heavy and old fashioned.

Everything very comfortable and also very clean.

A great, comfortable room. Outstanding breakfast. Perfect location.

It was a good stay. The breakfast was delicious and had a wide variety of options.

A great and comfortable hotel located right in the city center. The subway station is just a 3-minute walk away, making it the most convenient way to reach the Coptic area, Zamalek Island, and other parts of the city. Using the metro allows you to avoid Cairo’s heavy traffic and the hassle of constantly negotiating taxi fares. The Old Egyptian Museum is only a 2-minute walk from the hotel, which makes the location truly unbeatable

Very comfortable hotel in a perfect location. Close to subway. Very helpful staff, delicious breakfasts, and everything was really clean. We went on a few days trip to Luxor, and the hotel kept our main luggage for us, which made our trip much easier.

Superb location. Very pleasant staff.

Seating in reception could be better

Location did it for me. Close to the GoBus abdel Moneim riad terminus

Exceptional service, facilities, breakfast. Great location.

Very responsive, helpful and friendly staff. Very clean. Great breakfast choice and well staffed restaurant with excellent service. Location is very central if you plan to go to multiple different areas, it’s also opposite the original Egyptian Museum. We ate a couple of times in the restaurant which was also good. Spa area and gym/pool good for a short stay - Swedish massage fairly priced and pretty good.

It’s in downtown which means there is some traffic noise throughout the day and night but that’s a trade off for it being centrally located.

very good breakfast

Good location, friendly helpful staff

Amaizing hotel and staff. They prepared a breakfast box for an early flight. Thank you for everything!

The hotel was exceptional. Our room was large. bright, and very comfortable. The staff were friendly, welcoming, respectful and always eager to help us in any way they could. The breakfast buffet offered many, delicious choices (including a separate vegan section) and the staff promptly brought me a freshly made cappuccino. The fitness centre had excellent equipment and we used it frequently.

Staff were very efficient, but also warm and welcoming. And that fits every one, from wait staff in restaurant to the maids who cleaned, to the desk staff. The level of security, evidenced by the presence of many very friendly security personnel, was reassuring. Our room was well appointed, the bed comfortable. The bathroom was clean and new. Appreciated the "topping up" of water bottles every day. Very good breakfast and dinner buffets. Very efficient fast moving elevators. An excellent hotel!

The buffet was right at the entrance of the restaurant. Hopeless traffic jams caused there sometimes.

It was amazing! World class breakfast.

The staff at this hotel are incredible! Everyone goes out of their way to be helpful, welcoming, and kind. The rooms are simple and clean. Breakfast everyday was delicious and had plenty of options so that everyone had something they enjoyed.

The pool is outside near a major intersection, so the noise from the cars is pretty loud. There are walls around the pool and it’s completely private, but if you’re looking for a serene environment this is not it. The bathrooms could use an update. Our bathroom was completely fine and very clean, but it definitely was showing a lot of wear and tear.

Location was fabulous. Room (a capital suite for a mum and two teenage boys) was excellent too and plenty big enough for the three of us, with an extra toilet. There was a double bed and I paid extra to have a single bed put up. We also had a sofa bed although it collapsed in the middle. My 16 year old son still managed to sleep on it.

Breakfast was exceptional, felt very safe and the staff was amazing and helpful all the time!

Nothing! All was top quality!
