I've stayed here twice now and specifically asked to return the second time. Yes, this hotel is a bit tired; have you stayed at any other non-U.S.-resort hotels in Cairo (with attendant costs and not at all having the feel of Egypt)? This hotel has, perhaps, the best morning buffet I've ever had anywhere in the world. Rooms have been... more

The online price for this place changes hourly!! We watched it go from $160/night to $95/night for the same dates. Just be patient. At $95 it was a steal considering hotel prices in Cairo. The only negative I would write about is when they lost our room key at the front desk and were VERY slow to resolve the problem.... more

This was my first visit to egypt,cairo, and staying at the Shepheard Hotel really made it a even more good stay, when i arrived,around 2 in the morning,there was a long wait for my room to be ready but oh well, it was a fairly large reception area with good security and 24 hour room service. when i got to... more

This is a wonderful hotel. The service was great, the breakfast the best I have ever eaten, very clean and the rooms what ambiance. There is 24 hour service and a map at the front desk which helps you get around. They are very skilled in managing groups of travelers. The food in their restaurant was very good. A little... more

This was the second time of staying here awith groups of 10+ people and was again pleased with the overall service. Having read reports on here I would agree that in some respects this hotel is 'tired' - however, what do people expect from one of the oldest hotels in the city? I much prefer this style to the soul-less... more

I wasn't sure what to expect after reading the variety of reviews on this hotel, but found it better than expected. The main floor was quite nice -- obviously not new but it had a certain elegance. The breakfast buffet is served in a large room overlooking the Nile and offerings are exceptional. This room becomes a dinner buffet at... more

We enjoyed the Shepheard Hotel especially because our room was quiet and we were able to sleep (having had two restless nights elsewhere due to traffice noise). The hotel is far from new but has been refurbished. The reception and downstairs areas, including a cafe serving delicious cakes and quality tea and coffee, are pleasant and comfortable. Our room was... more

Shepheards Hotel, Cairo, Egypt Reviewer, Trip Advisor , Suffolk, England. 21 February 2008 Previous reports of this hotel were not brilliant but my travel agent had booked us in so we had no choice. The first impression was favourable, tall large marble floored atrium includes reception, large breakfast/dining room, cafe serving gorgeous cakes and proper tea and coffee. Breakfast is... more

Hotel was fine, but there were meal and mini-bar charges at check-out that were not mine. When I asked them to show me where I signed for meals they could not produce anything, yet still insisted on charging me. They also charged me for use of the mini-bar in my room when I never used it. In all, I was... more
