Très bon établissement en dehors des problèmes cités plus haut
Pros:

Emplacement
Restaurants
Literie confortable

Cons:

-climatiseur remis à 17 degrés tous les jours alors que nous la mettions au maximum 21,5 degrés.Nous avions toujours froid !
Ceci est également le cas dans les restaurants
-Bruits extérieurs très gênants toute la nuit,peut-être du fait de la fin du ramadan

Stay at intercontinental Semi Ramis
Pros:

My experience at the Club Lounge at InterContinental Cairo Semiramis was excellent. The lounge offers a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere with beautiful views of the Nile, making it a perfect place to unwind after a busy day in Cairo.

What truly makes the difference, however, is the exceptional service. The team is attentive, welcoming, and highly professional. I would especially like to recognize Reem, Heidi, and Hatim, who take great care of the guests and ensure everything runs smoothly. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail make the experience truly special.

The lounge itself is well organized and provides a calm environment, whether for breakfast, a quick coffee during the day, or evening refreshments. It is definitely one of the highlights of staying at the hotel.

Overall, a wonderful experience and a great example of hospitality done right. I look forward to returning again.

Rooms with a view and much more besides
Pros:

The Semiramis is located in a great position just off the Qasr al nil bridge. Our rooms on the 9th floor had 180o views up and down the Nile and overlooking the Cairo tower, making for a charming and relaxing environment. The rooms themselves were spacious, exceptionally clean and well appointed with details such as Byredo bar D'Afrique toiletries and a welcome bowl of fruit and plate of cakes. The staff could not have been more helpful and tried hard to make you feel welcomed and appreciated. We paid for the club lounge option and this was well worth it. The lounge was large very comfortable and provided afternoon teas and evening small dinner, drinks and canapés which were all thoughtfully prepared and served with a smile and a chat. We also took a couples treatment in the Spa which was fabulous. Our only dinner in the hotel was in the Grill Restaurant, which was on the evening we chose an exclusive affair. It was early in the season and Ramadan so we were the only guests and to say the staff went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed ourselves would be an understatement. This is a great hotel, ideally located and with top class facilities. We recommend it without hesitation.

Excellent location and facilities, friendly staff, four star room
Pros:

Overall, but with some qualifications, we enjoyed a four night stay in the InterContinental Semiramis, a c. 25 storey modern building on the E bank of the Nile and centrally located close to Tahrir Square and the Egyptian Museum (not to be confused with the new and spectacular Grand Egyptian Museum). The five star public areas are spacious and include a lavish spa and a large outdoor pool.

Our somewhat minimalist room was four rather than five star, compensated by its splendid view over the river. It was well sized and included a balcony. The bathroom was well equipped but the shower over bath was awkward to use. There was no directory, room service menu, notepad etc – all the usual information had to be accessed through scanning one of several QR codes or by calling the service number (which always responded quickly and helpfully). Not everything worked but remediation was quick.

Breakfast was an extensive buffet of a variety of cuisines. We also took meals in four of the hotel’s five restaurants/cafeterias - all were satisfactory but none were exceptional, and service tended to be quite slow.

All the staff we met were friendly and helpful.

Value for money was generally good by ‘western’ standards (provided one drinks the local wine!). However, the tour offerings were surprisingly expensive.

Overall, a marginal 5/5.

Walid made our stay
Pros:

Lovely stay, great room with Nile view and access to the Club Lounge.

Walid in the Club Lounge looked after us like royalty. On our last night we noticed his lapel badge - he’s a 25 year IHG employee veteran - been there, done that and it shows!
