It´s not going very well with several of the old Grande Dames of the Cairo downtown hotel world, the Nile Hilton has been closed for years now, the Hyatt pulled out and its remains are run down, and in Giza even the Mena House Oberoi has left the scene. Nice to see that the Intercontinental Semiramis is still going strong.... More

We arrived at the Semiramis late at night and were greeted with a warm welcome and a glass of something non-alcoholic but very tasty while we checked in (we were in a large group from a Regent Cruise pre-cruise package). We were handed our room keys quickly and efficiently and went straight to our room, which was large, well equipped... More

I stayed there on business for 1 night only. It is located next to Tahrir square, Geeza. Make sure to ask for a good Nile view!! and not to far away from the pyramids.

The Hotel is amazing, especially the location. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The Hotel is very safe. We tried the Pane Vino restaurant and it was really a stunning experience. Defenitely it's recommended for visitors who want to enjoy the beatiful Cairo with its uncomparable Nile view.

The hotel is super clean, suite was very well furnished, fantastic view of Cairo, the river, Cairo tower, food is great, the Thai restaurant "bird's cage" is a must try. Besides, I tied the buffet by the pool, they serve great grilled kofta meat. The service was the best of this accommodation

Since this was my first trip to Cairo (in fact, to Egypt), it was difficult to judge the quality of the Intercontinental in comparison to other Cairo hotels. Overall, the stay was very pleasant, and it’s a nice hotel. We stayed two nights as part of a very large group, on a post-cruise excursion. The hotel has an interesting location... More
