Safir Hotel Cairo    

sevice

The hotel is well located and offers several facilities. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean and features cable TV and freezer. No problem with noise or the air conditioned. Everyone must pass through a metal detection frame in order to enter the hotel even though both the city and the country don't seem to be dangerous. I did not use the pool but the gym and the sauna are fair enough. The breakfast and the lunch buffet are very good. The sweets and the patisserie are the best.

The stairs for fire escape must be improved. The services offered by the travel agency that works inside the hotel are too pricy.

A perfect 5 star hotel for a verry reasonable price.

Ugly view...

- position - very clean - staff - everything very good

- specify and remind if you need a no smooking room

The outdoor pool

The air con in the lobby was far too cold for my liking

Spa - pool - kindness of personnel

I had two stays in this Hotel - one on level 1 and one on level 2 - level 2 is a bit noisy at night for the air conditioning system

Large and nice wide room with balcony. The position is good and all the main touristic sights are close (apx. 15 minutes by taxi). Breakfast with a wide range of fine selection. The hotel saff is helpfull, kind and always ready to support you in all the way. Walking distance from the Nile riverbank. The area around the hotel looks saefty and it's well protected by the local police. Good value for price, next time I'll be in Cairo I will definitly go to the Safir again.

The two restaurant inside the hotel (asian and european) are very expensive compared to the rest of the local restaurant. There's no wi fi inside the room and if you want to surf on the internet you have to pay an extra charge (wire connection). Free wi fi connection runs only in the lobby but unfourtunatly during my stay it wasn't working well.

We went to Egypt to visit our son who lives a few doors away. Perfect location for us.

I had requested a non smoking room and we were put in a smoking room. They did change the room for us upon request but even in the non smoking room, the towels smelled like cigarette smoke.

good hospitality and service. friendly and co-operative staff. I will 100 marks. will keep this hotel in my list

Internet

The room is wide breakfast is very nice , reciption people are so polite

You have to pay for using internet Room is notso clean

I found what is expected from a 4-5* hotel.

Internet wifi very poor Internet lan very expensive Prices shown without 24% taxes

Staff, Facilities, Clean, Comfort, Location. Free internet in the lobby and coffee areas.

No Wi-Fi available in the room, only by Lane.

Staff was extremely helpful. They made sure all our needs were not only met, but exceeded. One of the staff members, Ayman, was so amazing, that he went above and beyond his job role to ensure that we didn't have any issues with getting around the city to see all the sights during our stay. I would also recommend the breakfast buffet to be added to your stay.

The wifi could only be accessed from the lobby café. Would have preferred access in our room.

Friendly staff

every thing in this hotel was excellent.

Staff were very nice and friendly. Room was clean and spacious. The dirty carpets mentioned in other review isn't as bad as the reviews make out. Room has Satellite TV with over 40 channels. The hotel has two cafes and three restaurants. Prices within restaurants are expensive (same price as back home). Overall, nicely maintained hotel. If your looking for City Trip, the hotel is in the centre of all attractions with the Nile and Museum 5 mins away by taxi and other sites like the Khan El Khalili Market, City Stars (Shopping Complex) and Giza Pyramids around 30-45 mins away by taxi (White taxis are best and can be flagged down on main roads...ask for the meter to be used and your fares will be considerably cheaper)

Nothing much in Surrounding area, handful of restaurants near hotel. Pool heating was switched off. Tried swimming close to sunset...and froze my but off. No Wifi in Room...Only Wired Internet which is around £15 a day (if used). Alternatively you'll find Wifi in the Lobby, slow but usable)

Room & services

No free internet access TV signal interruption

Good location Comfortable rooms

No wifi in room A bit too much noise

Breakfast was great. Room was spacious. Room service was very good.Hotel is closer to some of the attractive places.

Floor carpet looked old and tables needed polishing. The receptionist was not that friendly. Outside environment was a bit noisy.

Everything

Nothing

Excellent breakfast, good location, friendly staff

Sofa set needs cleaning. The room in general needs detailed cleaning. But the hotel is considered clean compared to other hotels in Egypt.
