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 However, the rooms felt outdated, and cleanliness was below the expected standard, especially for such a prestigious hotel brand.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

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.
