My stay at the Intercontinental Cairo Semiramis was a mix of great location and disappointing room quality. The lobby area is stunning, and the breakfast buffet was impressive with a wide variety of options. However, the rooms felt outdated, and cleanliness was below the expected standard, especially for such a prestigious hotel brand.

Rooms
6.0
I stayed in a Nile-facing room, which was supposed to be spacious, but mine was dated and even after three room changes, I still faced issues like small bathrooms and smoke odors. The bedding was comfortable, but the pillows were rock-hard. I expected better for the price.

I had a pleasant stay overall at the Intercontinental Cairo Semiramis, enjoying the beautiful view of the Nile and the quality of the food. However, the service experience was inconsistent, with frustrations during the check-in process. The noise from the Nile side was also an issue, especially if you prefer a quieter environment. so I would recommend asking for a city view room if that's important to you.

My stay at Intercontinental Cairo Semiramis was a mixed experience. On one hand, the hotel's central location and beautiful Nile views were undeniable perks. However, the rooms felt outdated, and I encountered several service issues that left a sour impression. Overall, while there were some highlights, the negatives significantly impacted my enjoyment.

Rooms

The hotel had some good facilities, including a nice lounge and a spa, but they were overshadowed by the issues I faced. The hotel maintained a sense of elegance, but it needs more significant attention to detail and updates.
