Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo

Steigenberger Hotel El Tahrir Cairo

10/10 Excellent
"We booked this hotel very last minute when let down by our previous hotel and they were fantastic! They catered well to my Gluten Free requirements which can be difficult in Cairo and the staff were so wonderful and attentive. I would stop at this hotel again without a doubt. I have nothing but good things to say about this experience and really made our stay in Cairo so much easier"
