Great hotel, good service

This was a great hotel - felt like a calm within the storm that is Cairo! Staff were very friendly and accommodating, would say security are a bit intense with checking whoever comes to pick you up (to make sure that you are being picked up by someone legit!) but definitely gave us peace of mind so I didn't mind it. Breakfast was good, but nothing special. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable! Overall, would thoroughly recommend.

A good hotel except for the tour and excursions manager, who sent me on a 45 minute taxi ride to the ‘pyramids light show’when it wasn’t even on, after i’d asked him on three different occasions to confirm that it was on that night, which he did.Fortunately I had an understanding taxi driver who brought me back to the hotel,after being with him for nearly two hours. An evening wasted. The next day I told the excursions manager about his mistake he just smirked and offered no apology.Not good enough ! All he had to do was to call the show to see if it was on. If this happens to you always independently check first ! Otherwise a very pleasant stay there.

The worst custimer service in the whole of Egypt. Upon arriving at the Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir in Cairo, Egypt, we initially booked due to five-star ambiance. However, our experience was subsequently marred by several significant issues that detracted from our stay. The cuisine was notably bland and overpriced. Throughout our four-day stay, the menu consistently lacked meat dishes, limiting dining options.Service Conduct: During both breakfast and dinner, managers were observed reprimanding staff, neglecting guest service in the process.Room Service Efficiency: Orders often took over 90 minutes to arrive, indicating inefficiencies in service delivery.Noise Disturbance: Our room faced a street with exceptionally heavy traffic. Persistent honking from 6 AM until 2-3 AM disrupted our rest. The hotel did not offer an alternative room, attributing the disturbance to the location. Room cleaning services frequently failed to replace towels and replenish tea and sugar supplies, necessitating repeated requests. Despite explaining our situation, my husband and I were unwell and had a 'Do Not Disturb' sign displayed for three days. Management repeatedly called our room, despite explaining our need for rest, the calls persisted until we disconnected the phone. pon checkout, I requested assistance with our six bags, emphasising our need to depart promptly for the airport. After 40 minutes, four phone calls, and a visit to reception, a staff member arrived without a trolley.
