Find 5 Star Hotels in Shibin Al-Qanater from AED 161

"Make sure you don’t book „standard room”, the room we got was terrible - dirty, moldy, old and smelly, old carpet, the bed looked as if it was used before and just made up quickly so it looked ready. Hair and dust bunnies everywhere. After we complained we were offered an „upgrade” for extra $50 USD, we refused, next „offer” was $30 USD and after I put my foot down (and took many pics of the mold, dirt and dust) all of a sudden we got a nice and clean room. No extra charge. The property is ok, close to Cairo airport, we only stayed for 9 hrs as our flight back home was very early in the morning. We had no breakfast so I can’t say anything about that. They say they have a free shuttle to CAI every 30 min on the clock but when we appeared at the reception at 3:25 am they started to call the driver who appeared in 15 min. The hotel staff is very friendly, pleasant and our experience could have been different if it wasn’t for the awful room they were trying to put us in. If you can afford it stay in La Meridian instead. Another thing is the everpresent cigarette smell - this property supposed to be „smoke free” but everyone smokes in Egypt. So get used to it. AC is noisy but it works. They have a pool with very cold water and a couple of restaurants that looked great but we had not dined there so I can’t comment. Overall not a bad experience, very nice staff, except for the initial room that was just terrible. I think this property deserves 3.5 stars at best."

"Everything was clean and well maintained, and the entire experience felt easy and smooth from start to finish. The staff was kind, welcoming, and always helpful whenever we needed anything. The location was great and made getting around very convenient. Room service food was also really good. Overall, this was my favorite hotel during our Egypt trip and I would definitely stay here again."

"Nice"

"Excellent staff from arriving through the front being greeted by the friendly door staff, professional front desk to staff in the restaurants and housekeeping. Breakfast in Culina was spot on with a buffet offering a great variety. The bars have a great range of drinks both alcoholic and non. The rooms are spacious clean, they get serviced twice a day, and are left immaculate by the housekeeping. Location is good with a museum at the back of the hotel. Also a 10 minute walk to downtown shops. I will recommend this hotel to all travellers to Cairo. I would stay there again "

"GORGEOUS"

"Very nice breakfast!!!"

"The Ravi breakfast lounge was magnificent with wonderful service. The Sheraton Club lounge on the 26th floor of the South Tower was a treat and an essential retreat each day from our trips out into Cairo. The food was excellent, the service discrete and attentive and the views over Cairo to the pyramids to the east and south were memorable. Thank you everyone at the Sheraton"

"The location is great, the bed is exceptionally comfortable and the sheets were amazing. However, even though we were in a non smoking room/floor, our room smelt smoky. We suspected there were people smoking on the floor and it also was coming in through the vent. The hotel seems to prioritize the comfort of smokers, you can tell that in the lobby where part of it is smoking …. So that means it’s all smoking. We went to other floors to check them out to see and we felt that no floors were truly non smoking so we didn’t ask to be moved. I cannot believe in this day and age any chain would allow indoor smoking. Everything is extremely expensive, example, a cup of tea is $6.00 and a glass of sparking wine is about $20.00. Definitely not worth it and no ambiance in the lobby."

"We have loved Kempinski hotel in our previous stays elsewhere in the world. This hotel feels relatively a little old and did not give that luxury feel. The afternoon tea was expansive, took a long time to prepare and somewhat stall food. The staff were very nice. Other services were good. "
