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.”

Great stay

I recently had a fantastic stay at the Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo. The experience was truly memorable, thanks to the exceptional service provided by the staff. Special appreciation goes to Riham Khalid, Fadiya Mohamad Amen, Abdulrahman Rizg, Donia, and Saif, who went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Their warm hospitality and professionalism made all the difference, and I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Cairo. The ambiance, location, and service were all top-notch, ensuring a delightful and relaxing stay. Thank you to the entire team for making the visit so special!

Pleasant stay , execellent location , Helpful staff overall esp customer service staff

Absolutely central location, very clean and comfortable facility with excellent staff. One staff in particular who went out of way to assist us and we would like to thank very much and hopefully the management can pass on to her is Farida at customer service. She made several calls to resolve our travel issues and spoke on our behalf of us as we could not communicate in Arabic. We are very thankful that we approached her as she is extremely pleasant and very knowledge. Thank you Farida.

Amazing stay at Cairo

The location is unbeatable right in front of El Tahrir Square. The staffs are super nice and friendly. The breakfast is amazing. Nice omelettes.

The faucet of the wash basin is kind of weird. The water does not come out in a smooth aerated stream but kind-of like a spray. This causes a lot of splashes around while washing hands. Otherwise everything is awesome.

Convenient location for visiting Cairo

Location of this hotel is pretty good. Right across from the Egyptian Museum and also central enough to do all the other trips without wasting too much time in traffic. Metro is 5 minutes walk. The pool area is nice after a long hot dusty day, and the sauna is good too. We arrived very early in the morning and could get immediate check-in for extra pay. There were enough dining options around for a few days. Coffee & tea maker in room is good.

There are not really any supermarkets around so you are dependent on the small 'corner stores'. Wifi was a little slow at times.

A pleasant stay at The Steiggenberger Tahir Square

Convenient location with high level of security without being too inconvenient

The amount to pay extra for the side nile view did not seem to be worth it.

It was a pleasant stay as the staff of the hotel such as restaurant, shop, spa and even concierge are most pleasant and

It was ideally located with access to facilities

We did not have a booking and was advised by reception staff that it was fully booked upon arrival at the hotel. Fortunately, we then checked on booking.com and managed to secure a room and booked in the hotel as some friend who we were touring with were also booked at the hotel. We feel the reception staff could have been more accommodating. The chef at the hot counter for breakfast was also overwhelmed one morning and messed up my omelette order.
