I would give 4.5 stars if possible. This hotel was great. Staff was friendly and professional. Hotel itself was very clean, upgraded and comfortable. The breakfast was also amazing, best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Its crazy how many food options there are, and some meals change every day so breakfast isn’t always the exact same. You can even ask the chef to make you an omelette. The only reason I give the hotel 4/5 stars is because you can hear the traffic a bit at night. I’m a light sleeper but I was okay with ear plugs. The staff also said they have a plan in place to add in sound proof/double pane windows to reduce the noise, so thats awesome. The last thing is T.V. wise theres no apps like Netflix or anything haha. So I didn’t watch T.V. because it was all local channels. Having the option to wind down watching at.V. after a day out in the heat would have been nice. But yeah, amazing property and I would 100% stay there again next time I’m in Cairo. I felt super safe, taken care of and welcome. Thanks!

Every single moment here was incredible. Excellent service from every single person; from the security guards, the managers, the wait staff and the cleaning crew. Great food options and the drinks were good too. Rooms were spotless and comfortable. Ambient music in all areas and a welcoming smile everywhere we went.

Try somewhere else....

The Steigenberger was disappointing. The rooms, lobby & facilities are nice -- but that's where it ends. The service is extremely poor. Whether it was the front desk, concierge, or the restaurant, I dealt with constant miscommunication and the staff's poor judgment. It did not seem that the staff was trained to handle basic requests. I often had to ask the same thing multiple times, and still would not get a satisfactory response. For example, when I asked about how to get to Memphis (a popular tourist destination), I was transferred multiple times and then the front desk gave me directions to the Giza pyramids. I asked the concierge for where to go for dinner in Zamalek, and he gave me a name of the street--but not a restaurant name or address. The restaurant workers seemed entirely confused. My first night, the waitress said I couldn't charge to my room and then she insisted that someone would "go to my room and get my credit card" (she meant someone would follow me to my room, but she did not say that, and in any event that would have been ridiculous and insulting to treat guests like dine-and-dash thieves). The quality of food at the restaurant was terrible, esp. their attempts at international food. The location has no value because it is impossible to walk around in the area due to traffic. The manager of the hotel was nice and apologetic, but unfortunately that was not enough for me to give this hotel more than 2 stars. I had a bad experience and was relieved to leave.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, but you must be prepared for the noise of the Cairo traffic: bring ear plugs if you’re sensitive to noise. Everything else was of “good quality “.

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.
