Steigenberger El Tahir Hotel, Cairo

Good straffs and very comfortable

Noise from the street

The location was excellent, very close to Tahrir Square and major attractions. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast had a good variety of options.

The room was a bit smaller than expected, and sometimes it could get a little noisy due to the busy area outside.

I had a truly pleasant stay at Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir, and I can confidently say the experience was phenomenal from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. The hospitality was outstanding, and the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful. The area is amazing and very secure. I especially appreciated the strong security presence, with police guarding the hotel and a thorough security process in place. It genuinely made me feel safe and comfortable throughout my stay. I’d also like to give a special thank-you to the front desk manager, Riham, who was extremely kind and accommodating. I was scheduled to check out at 12 PM, but she graciously allowed me to extend my stay with no additional cost, which I truly appreciated. From the bellmen to the housekeepers to the restaurant staff everyone was phenomenal. It’s rare that I recommend a hotel so strongly, but I would recommend this one a thousand times over. I will absolutely be back and will definitely suggest this hotel to anyone visiting Cairo.

The room tended to get quite cold at night, even after we turned off the AC. The front desk was very responsive and brought us a heater, but unfortunately it didn’t really warm up the room enough.

Central location, very friendly and helpfully staff. Clean/modern room. Excellent breakfast.

I just found the bed too hard

Convenient locations Good staff

A bit too expensive

very central location and super clean

Everything

Located in a very nice and safe area opposite to the old museum. It is a very clean hotel with nice breakfast buffet . Clean gym and heated pool.

I made two different reservations with booking and the first day they charged us extra since they said i made it for one person only per room . Since i am a genius 3 member i know what i requested for. I tried to explain them that i spoke with them through messages that we are two married couples but they said that i booked a single room. Maybe there was a mistake on the booking site. It was an unpleasant experience for us because it was very late and we were tired but we had no other choice than to pay. I find the night receptionist staff a little arrogant when my sister told him that the experience is an 8/10 but overall helpful and polite. The main AC system is only cooling but you can request a heater that does a good work with heating.

Breakfast was excellent

Wonderful experience with steigenberger Hotel

Over all management and breakfast specially

Everything was very good, the breakfast, the room, the location, the service and the staff. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

Lovely and accommodating staff who went out of their way to be helpful. The location is also excellent. Cairo is insane so it is important to stay somewhere safe and in a good location. Definitely do not skimp on accommodation here!!

Nothing

The property location is excellent at the heart of downtown The staff is courteous and helpful The hotel is worth the money

The restaurant menu is very limited Specially in international cuisine Drinks are too expensive

Good from room service was wonderful, location was great, the room was spacious, gym was reasonable

The pool was suspect, I wanted to swim but didn’t want to Rick it because of the pigeons all around the pool. The hotel should carry small Egyptian bills for its patrons. It is hard to find small bills. Also a little guidance on tipping would be appreciated.

Just writing in the downtown of Cairo it’s very well located

None

Excellent

Location

Not much

The location, the food but most especially the staff.

No negative comments

The staff are very friendly at the reception, the security, concierge, cleaners and especially the restaurant, very helpful and nice. Location is amazing, very close to everything and nice to take walks in the streets around. The breakfast is very good with excellent selection.

The rooms need better light. I completely appreciate the environmental aspect, but it is difficult to see and find things in the room during evening because the light is too low. I think only one better light bulb could make a huge difference

Excellent staff

Excellent service and very clean hotel. The breakfast was tasty and had a lot of variety (Egyptian dishes, vegan and gluten free options), plus fresh juices every morning. The location was prefect for exploring Cairo.

Spa could be better. The dinner at the hotel restorant can be improved. The quality of breakfast was way better than the dinner.

Everything was perfect had a great experience very good hotel.

Nothing at all

Great location , excellent breakfast and very friendly staff. Recommended for a stay in Cairo.

Location and cleanliness. Also were flexible with checkout time

Outstanding Hospitality and Attention to Detail I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all the hotel staff, starting from the entrance team, the welcoming hosts, the reception staff, and the daily follow-up team who were always attentive to any note or request. Special thanks go to Mr. Ahmed, the Breakfast Hall Supervisor, and his wonderful team. His positive morning energy, professionalism, and the excellent breakfast experience truly made each day start perfectly. The cleanliness of this hotel and the attention to detail are truly exceptional and unmatched. Everything reflects a high standard of care, organization, and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended, and I would definitely choose this hotel again.

Have stayed here for the second times and, undoubtedly, going to stay during all my future trips to Cairo. An oasis of comfort amid the busiest downtown. Elegant rooms, extra comfortable bed, amazing breakfast and buffet dinner, and unbelievably helpful and friendly staff. Thank you very much!

Nothing to mention

Breakfast was very very good with a lot of choice of food, fresh juices, friendly staffs, it is what you ask for! Location was top! Staffs are friendly, reservation teams are communicative 😉. Thank you all! 🙏🏽

You still can hear the traffic noise from the 9th floor.

The staff was wonderful

All the key hotel basics are covered well, no complaints. Breakfast was good, seemed to be very diverse for different cultures and habits. The highlight is the restaurant though - everything we tried with a 20-strong group was great, arguably better than restaurants in the nearby 5* hotels with doubled price levels (had 3 evenings out to compare).

No notable drawbacks

Security measures taken at entrance, friendly and helpful staff, Lamia in restaurant, Kristin and Donia. Big variety of breakfast offerings and tasty. It was a quite pleasure to receive couple of phone calls and a letter from Guest Relations asking about stay and if any help is required. Nice care about guests! Thanks!

Nothing so far

Ir was great. The staff are very kind and helpful .

My family liked the location, very friendly staff and the food at the hotel.

The room could be a bit bigger and it is quite noisy on the street , especially in the evening

Effortless - booking, arrival and stay. Great central location, relaxed feel and tasty breakfast.

All was better

Nothing

Mr.Rezk was very nice and helpful all over the 3 nights that I was in the Hotel. He is really a smart guy. Ms.Riham is very nice as well. I hope yo visit in the hotel to meet her again.

Great location

Choice of food in the restaurant and quality was a little disappointing

I really loved the staff the most about the hotel - everyone was so caring and kind with my daughter Esmee, and treated us like family as we experienced a travel hiccup and had to prolong our stay over the holidays. The staff at reception, the morning breakfast staff and the bellman and lobby staff were just wonderful. And so were the cleaning staff! Can't speak highly enough for their professionalism, kindness and humanity.

They were very attentive and helpful.

All was good. Thanks

Everyone was kind and helpful, the entertainment was excellent.

The dogs out barking waking us up every night all the time.

Thanks a lot

Nice pool, clean, quiet, comfortable room. Polite cleaning staff, decent exercise room.

Slight smell in the bathroom, perhaps it’s older plumbing?

The location, the quality of the room
