We recently stayed at the InterContinental Cairo Semiramis Hotel (Cairo, Egypt). The impressions of living here were good.
Advantages (+):
- The room was spacious and clean, with two comfortable large soft beds and all the necessary amenities.
- The balcony of the room had a fantastic view of the Nile River.
- The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to help with any requests and questions.
We also really enjoyed dining and relaxing on the "Nile terrace", Ahmed Salah works here, who, like the rest of the staff, provided a high level of service and created a wonderful atmosphere.
Disadvantages (-):
I would like to note the not very convenient location of the sockets, since there are only 2-3 of them in a room for two people, and they are all located only in one place and far from the bed, and it is not possible to charge the phone next to the bedside table ((
It is also too noisy on the street, even with the balcony closed and from the 21st floor, car traffic is very audible, but this is rather a common problem in this country.
An excellent hotel in the center of Cairo, on the banks of the Nile. Cairo is a rather contrasting city and the final impression may strongly depend on the hotel. The Intercontinental pleased me, the only thing is that you need a room with a view of the Nile and then everything is generally gorgeous. The location is good, the hotel is huge, there are many restaurants, bars, recreation areas, swimming pool, spa, casino. Nice rooms, with everything you need, courteous staff, excellent breakfast. Yes, the hotel is not new, in places something is a little shabby, but this does not affect the quality of accommodation in any way and is logical for large, popular hotels.
