Semiramis Intercontinntal is the best IHG properties. Every time I stay at this hotel my loyalty to IHG increase. It has a great local ion facing the Nile river and located at the center of Cairo. All hotel staff are professional and very friendly which makes you feel that you are at your home with your family. Room size is large and very clean. On top of that, the hotel is taking all hygiene measures into account. When it comes to the food, the hotel have many choices and all are having a great taste. Semiramis Intercontinental is positively way far than many of IHG other properties. At the end I would like to send special thank to Mr. Mohamed Senousi, Mr, Mahmoud Yahya, Mr. Gergis Mikhael, Mr. Michel Yacoub, Mr. Hassan Mohammed ( Night & Day Restaurant) and Mr. Ehab Fawzy.

What an amazing and luxurious hotel it is. We enjoyed our one week stay and had one of the best experiences ever in Cairo. It all started with meeting Nabil the doorman with his beautiful smile and then with Yousef at the reception desk who helped us with our check in. Mostafa and Arafa from the house keeping, made our stay amazing with paying attention to details with their beautiful smile and attitude. Also Ibrahim as well made it a pleasant experience. To top it up Hashem the house keeping supervisor also made sure our needs are met and everything is to our liking. Abdullah El Sayed, ohhh ohhh what an amazing guy he is. Every morning made sure we are taken care off from our coffee, juices to making sure I have my specialty Egyptian breakfast made up to my likings. Fresh Iskandarani fool, taameya and to top it up feeteer meshaltet with 3assal. WOWWWW. Abdullah made sure to remember my type of coffee without asking (decaf coffee). Also Amr did an amazing job taking care of us when Abdullah is serving other tables. Sayed Farouk the lounge supervisor also made sure to receive our feedback with a great attitude and smile and we really enjoyed our conversation with him. Ayman, with his amazing smile and shisha, always made sure we are hooked the whole evening and with our couple visits to the restaurant. The pool team were unbelievable from Mohamad to Ayman with all the time amazing smile to Sameh at the aqua restaurant. These guys made our stay at the pool so great with paying attention to everything we need. The spa team were also amazing from Lobna to captain Hassan. The service was more than we asked for. Sameh Mahrous, what an amazing person he is with his beautiful smile and great talk we had. He is always there every afternoon at the lobby taking care of the customers and their needs. To top it up, we also received a follow up phone call from the hotel after 2 days to make sure we were satisfied with our stay. The Nile Ritz-Carlton Cairo is an amazing hotel with top notch service. Keep it up team and I hope to see you all again very soon.

Good location to get to Egyptian Museum and Tahrir Square... Nile is walkable distance.
Rooms are okay sized but well looked after and clean.
Some language issues as room service sometimes ask me to call Reception instead. Also bar service is slow and the restaurant tried to charge me twice as the didn't understand the payment machine needed a paper change... It took 15 minutes of explaining, investigating and all the inconveniece.

Great location, right in the heart of Cairo.
We were taken to a high floor and had such a great view of the Nile River and the city that we didn't even have to climb the Cairo Tower.
The concierge was able to help us with things outside of that hotel, such as asking us to contact the hotel we would be staying at the next day, which is indeed a five-star hotel.
The restaurant we used was also delicious.

We arrived to Cairo to stay at the marriot hotel, a former beautiful palace. Unfortunately and even though we were given a really nice garden view room, we had some problems (noises) with the bathroom pipes during the night. Nevertheless the following day we explained the problem and we were not only changed without any question but offered an even better room! Thanks Qamar for all your help! This is what a 5 star hotel should be!

The location of the hotel is very good , the entrance of the hotel is very nice .i choose it because its new opining in 2025 but unfortunately i  shocked when I saw the rooms and the toilets .
The room full of dust , no proper cleaning even when i asked the cleaning person to do it. They just fixed the bed .
The bathroom not clean and looks in very bad condition.
If the management will not take action and put proper plan to check after there workers. Then they will lose there customers.
Room service also not responding directly if I requested anything and took 2 days to do it .
I think i paid too much for bad service.

自埃及發生革命以來,這裏的遊客銳減,所以酒店業在苦苦掙扎(婚禮、訂婚、聚會等),所以開羅的大酒店幾乎晚上都會有些聚會噪音。不過酒店有不同朝向的房間,遠離噪音,如果晚上有噪音的話,可以將東西都放在一間房間,而去另一間房睡覺-問題解決得很好,而且客服很好。我對飲食有特殊要求,他們也解決得很好,跟酒店每間餐廳的大廚說明,所以可以給我們準備合適的食物。管理層隨時確保我們住得愉快,如果有任何小問題,他們會儘力想辦法解決。這點很重要,因為世界上沒什麼是完美的,如果酒店能做到這樣盡心盡責,那麼就已經很稱職了,這裏就是開羅一家這麼傑出的酒店。之前我們經常住Sofitel El Gezirah酒店,不過革命之後就變了,所以第一次來Fairmont體驗就這麼棒。我們在英國預訂阿爾法房間,房費很便宜,而且酒店的一切設施都非常好,絲毫不覺得任何方面價錢太貴。離開之前我們還申請成為Fairmont總統俱樂部會員,住宿期間可以享受免費WIFI,可以免費使用電腦,所以我強烈建議你也這麼做,否則的話WIFI費用很貴。退房之後到機場以後,我們發現落了一樣東西在酒店,值班經理(Mahmoud Abd El Aziz)馬上拍了一名司機快速地將東西送到機場給我們-這樣的服務真是棒。他們甚至沒向我們收費(當然我們給司機小費了),但是這樣絲毫不索取的服務態度真是令我們感動,尤其在埃及索取小費成風。酒店員工從來不會讓我們覺得不舒服,這跟其它五星級酒店很不同,那裡員工服務都是要求小費的。很多員工都很優秀,儘管我們記不清他們所有人的名字(我們應該寫下來),不過我們記得在天空泳池的一名員工,Emad Girgis(我覺得他應該是領班)在客服方面真的非常出色,讓我們感覺很受歡迎,滿足我們所有要求-他絕對無可挑剔。雖然治安很嚴,但這是個優點。我唯一的小不滿是SPA,任何服務都需要提前24小時預訂,不能在早上興之所至地過去做個服務。(那裡一共衹有3名理療師,儘管SPA很大很漂亮)。不過如果你一切都安排得很有條理的話,至少提前一天預訂,應該沒有任何問題。總之,住得很愉快,這家酒店經營非常好。這裏的客服也沒得說。在酒店可以坐打表的出租車,所以價錢也不貴,不過司機有時候可能會繞圈)我們第一天就發現了,計程器上顯示的距離比酒店告訴我們的多了一倍,而且回程時坐的另一輛出租車便宜很多)。所以我們跟願意出酒店之後在街邊攔一輛出租車,商量好價錢,這樣就能在最短的時間內到我們想去的地方。如果頭兩三輛出租車要價很高的話,也別灰心,出租車太多了,一定會等到價錢合理的出租車的。

GGuest UserI have traveled to several countries and stayed in many five-star hotels. In a poor country like Cairo, I am really surprised that there is such a high-end and cost-effective hotel. This hotel has cured me of all the travel fatigue for half a month and made my children happy. .I am happy. I feel like I am a princess 👸 being pampered. And I am really high-end and classy. The ceiling of Egypt.
PPenny BlackwellThe military runs this hotel. It is alcohol-free. People were smoking everywhere, which may or may not bother others. The breakfast and dining services were good. The room was clean but a little dated. The hotel is beautiful inside and out. The staff was helpful and always willing to answer questions and offer assistance. The reception desk is not manned 24 hours a day. I was disconnected/hung up on 3 times when trying to confirm that someone would be able to check us in when I arrived after midnight. I was told it would be fine but we had to wait for someone to check us in. The pool was great and we have no complaints. We had arranged a driver to take us on our tours so I am not sure if the location is good or not. Great hotel and would recommend it.
GGuest UserLovely smart hotel. Several restaurants. Massage and gym. Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel nice sbd roomy. Rooms spacious. Would stay there again but if you want to be in the town centre with many shops you need to stay closer to city centre as this, was, about 30 minutes from airport. It didn't matter because everything is a short cheap taxi fare away. Also it's next to a military camp where you can see and hear the soldiers marching from your balcony. If the bugle noise bothers, you at 6am then maybe not for you. Also, but not related to the hotel you'll be woken up at 4am by the, wailing from the mosques but you can't really get away from that can you. The hotel I understand is, owned by the military and so you'll often see soldiers stay there. They weren't any trouble. In fact it made you feel safe.
GGuest UserI love Hilton and tend to stay at them due to status but this one my goodness. The hotel looks so nice on the inside you arrive go in the Lobby and its like wow but the outside look especially by the pool area looks terrible. The only good service we had at this Hilton was Martina Naeim whom emailed us before coming to this Hilton she helped by accommodationing us with early check in. The check in desk isn't really traditional its just common deskz which throws you off. Ola was our front desk person and she waa great and helpful she explained the policy and procedures as we checked in early from the airport, dropped our luggage in our room and went for an excursion for the day. We got back around 3pm and went to the pool area. As soon as we got to the pool area some man with a life guard shirt started asking us about a $1 stated we owed money and to pay our bill. We just back got to the hotel after our day excursion and we were only here for one day so we were supper confused and this interaction and the man never came back so it left a sour taste. Next after this experience we wanted beer from the pool bar which for some reason the bar was out of most of there beers. We did get one and hung out by the pool area but 20 mins after getting our beer the bartender comes with a check stating he is closing in 20 mins so we asked for another one which he got one and we signed the checked. We thought that the area must close soon. It started getting loud in the pool area due too 2 weddings in the area. Well 30 mins after the bartender brought out the 2nd beer this same bartender walked back and forth asking if we wanted another beer. We assumed he be closed by now since he told us he be closed 30 mins prior so we were definitely not gonna order another one as we were upset that he lied and then the pacing back and forth was not very pleasing. Plus the noise from both parties began to make it unbearable to be outside. Definitely don't get a room facing the pool this was terrible. Two weddings were going on outside and the pool area was not relaxing so went to our room. This was even worse the noise from both parties made the room vibrate and was so loud, it was very hard to get sleep. The good about this place was the lobby which is gorgeous, the beds were super comfortable and I loved having the complimentary airport shuttle to the airport every hour. But this is not Hilton I suggest. No shuttle service from airport, no complimentary breakfest bags(we had early flights so didn't get to enjoy breakfast), and no happy hour deals. Not a place I would come back to. Hope they come back with Hilton standards.
BBryce van de LaarThis is a good hotel if you need to stay by the airport. The staff are friendly, the breakfast is good and the pool is wonderful.
While everything looks very fancy and shiny, it feels a little tired and in need of some upkeep. Every thing is very clean, but some of the fittings are coming loose and showing rust.
KKsenia 智妮亚Hotel has everything what you may need for your short stay nearby the airport: comfortable room, cozy pool, restaurants/cafe, ATM to exchange money or withdraw, small stores to buy water/snacks, free shuttle buses to the CIA (every 30 mins)
AAnonymous UserIn general, it is not bad for me to stay in a single room with a common bathroom for 10 nights.
Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the staff's efforts to manage the City Hostel clean which is too old and out fashioned building.
* Location & Transportation
Without noise, it is the best location to stay. It is located at 2 2-minute walk distance from Attaba subway station that connects to the Ramsis Railway Station and the Egypt Museum, only 1~3 stops away, charging 6 EGP per way. Of course, you can go to both by walk in 20 minutes. It means you can also enjoy the Nile riverside which is close to the museum.
And it is a 2-minute walk distance from the Attaba market which is the biggest public market in Cairo and so many locals visit to buy their livelihoods stuff at a cheap price.
In addition, you can also walk to the Al Azhar Mosque and Khan El-Khalili traditional market in 30 minutes, and St. Marc Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in AL Azbakeya in 10 minutes
Two problems I experienced are firstly the noi⁹sy from 8 am to 3 am outside the building due to market area and cars' horns. It took 3 days for me to adapt it. Any room in the hostel cannot escape it without changing the windows to soundproof ones. If you are sensitive to sound, it is better to find other lodges in a residential area or modernized ones.
Secondly, its location on the Uber taxi map and other maps is not accurate, so drivers have some problems in finding the city hostel. I have to meet them in front of the KFC next to the Attaba subway station. The signboard of the hotel is too small to recognize it.
* Building and room conditions
Like many other buildings in Cairo, the hostel building is old and shabby. The interior design and facilities are also outdated. However, the staff manages it so clean, particularly a common toilet and shower room.
It is quite convenient a washstand in each room.
However, it is bad there is no electronic kettle to boil water in a room or a common space. I could not enjoy my tea or coffee time at any time. I have to ask for hot drink water every morning when receiving breakfast, and store it in my tumbler.
It will be better to provide a tea or coffee service area in the hostel.
* Cleanness & Safety
Cleanness and safety are very good. I have no issue with this.
* Services
There is no basic service that most guesthouses provide in general: toilet paper and drink water.
Wifi is too weak to use the internet.
Other services like laundry are satisfied.
* Others
During my stay, I couldn't enjoy having an exchange time with other travelers. I think it is because there is no reason to stay in a common space where only sofas and a table are. Largely guesthouse provides a commonplace where guests enjoy better the internet or drinks including tea or coffee and foods, which makes guests meet each other naturally and structurally.
In conclusion, if the hostel provides basic services like toilet paper and commonplace with drink water and electronic kettles, it will be much better.
And it is necessary to change its signboard so that is more recognizable.
Except issues I mentioned above, it is a very good budget lodge.
GGuest UserThis hostel has a good location and I would say that it is pretty walkable in the early morning and very late at night but the walking infrastructure is not the best in Cairo. Mid day the traffic makes it very tricky to walk around even though there are many good restaurants and attractions nearby.
Finding it is a little tricky but it is down an alley that doesn't allow cards and it is located on floor 2 of an older building. There is an elevator but all doors and gates need to be closed in order for it to work and we found guests at the hostel weren't good at closing after themselves. The staff are very kind and welcoming but we got a bit hung up on the payment. We booked on Trip with the ”Pay at the Hotel” option for 3100 Egyptian pounds for three nights in a private room but they were asking for 3600 when we were checking in. After a little back and forth they let us check in and gave us the keys so we could rest and wait for the manager's answer. The manager said no to our booked rate, we were told we booked on Expedia and we now had to pay 3900 Egyptian pounds. I'm at a loss of words for this discrepancy between Trip and the hostel but there weren't better deals in the area we wanted to stay and we very reluctantly paid.
The room was just a place to sleep with a box to the side where our shower and toilet were. The box had no ceiling or ventilation so there were smells throughout the room from the drains. The beds were comfy but were not completely clean when we arrived - there was hairs in the bed sheets. The room cleanliness overall could have been better. The area is quiet at night and we got a good night's rest to spend our days exploring Cairo.
The breakfast was ok but there wasn't much room to eat in the common areas during our stay so we asked for breakfast in our room during our stay. We had a simple breakfast with a fried egg, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, banana, tea/coffee and Arabic bread. It is enough to get you through until lunch and is served starting at 8 pm. There is a convenience store close by that offers fairly priced snacks and drinks which you might want to seek out because they do not provide water at this hostel.
We hope this property improves because it seems like it used to be really good and the location is good as well.
GGuest UserI travelled in Egypt through April into early May, a good time to undertake the journey before the onslaught of intense summer heat. I am sole, independent traveller in my seventies and had pre-conceived ideas regarding the places I wanted to see and had researched modes of transportation. I arrived at Cairo Paradise Hotel, for which I have utmost praise. From reception to house-keeping, the staff are unfailingly courteous and helpful. My month in Cairo coincided with Ramadan and I was invited to partake of the evening meal at the break of fast. Ready to embark on my explorations, I soon realised that due to distances and piecing together public transport, considerable time and effort would need to be expended. I outlined my places to see wish list to Amr, the Hotel Touring Manager, who, with diligence application tailor-made an itinerary, including events and places off the ”tourist track” with drivers and at times, a guide. All came seamlessly to fruition with meetings at airports or train stations never failing to eventuate, at surprisingly low cost. I feel that I have captured the ”Essence of Egypt.”
GGuest UserThe staff is very nice. It's a very good hotel. I like it very much. It's convenient to buy food and drinks downstairs. There are clothes shops downstairs. It's lively and not remote. It comes with breakfast and charging is also convenient.
