I stayed 3 nights at the "Semiramis" in Jan. 2012; the hotel had been arranged as part of a package for a "Viking" river cruise, so I did not select the room myself. The hotel, room, and amenities exceeded my expectations. It's one of the most luxurious hotels I've ever visited. I was especially impressed by their security measures; the... More

We had never been to Egypt before so I wanted to make sure that we were staying in a reputable hotel that offered an airport transport. We paid for the $60 airport transfer in a Mercedes sedan. It's a little steep for Egyptian prices, but in U.S. prices it wasn't that bad and we didn't want to experience any problems... More

This hotel offers everything for everybody: best location, excellent view, comfortable rooms, tasty food, friendly staff and good value! On the negative side, some rooms need maintenance (phone cable was broken), some old furniture, room was cold on one of the nights. But none of this could detract from the pleasure of everything else. More

The Semiramis is well located, next to the US Embassy and close to the main avenues. It has nice restaurants, one barbecue grill next to the pool. For Western women I would strongly recommend going light in the swimsuits since many men from Arabic and African countries are not used to see women wearing small bikinis. More

Initially, I chose this hotel for the location and the good deal they provided for "Club" rooms. The room we got after checking in past midnight and passing through pretty intense security(we could not take our swiss knife with us and had to check it in?)was nice and spacious with a fantastic view of the Nile and the city. Could... More

We were a family of five booked in two adjoining rooms and the hotel went out of their way to ensure that we had a comfortable and safe stay whilst in Cairo. The gym was well used and the balcony overlooking the Nile was sensational. Free wifi in the lobby or cable in the room enabled us to stay up... More

I actually moved to this hotel from another (which was awful)! The location is great, the desk staff were excellent. The food in both room service and at the the restaurants (tried 3) was very good. I had a balcony facing the Nile - great view! The room was excellent - comfy bed, great amenities, etc. The only drawback to... More

We good a great corner suite with 2 balconies overlooking the Nile and Tahrir Square. The views of the Nile, and the constant roar of traffic and night clubs made the balconies exciting, but with the windows closed the room was almost silent. The living room / office area was huge, and the bed room was quite large and quite... More

The Semiramis is famouse for international tourists. I stayed here a few times over the years. While I have always liked it greatly, if for no other reason than their good Italian restaurant. That said, it is also great for seeing King Tut at the museum nearby. However, it is also close to the recent turmoil, and one time I... More
