The central location is positive. The rest is negative. It's more like Airbnb with a reception on the 6th floor of a run-down building. There is smoking at the reception, which you can smell in the front rooms. The furniture is yellowed, there are scratches on the wood. Everything makes a loveless and unkempt impression. Without ventilation, the rooms are fine. Even a window was broken. Breakfast only on demand and normally only from 9. Then it takes half an hour. Who wants to leave early for the sights should wake up early and hope that e. g. a guy from the reception “feels able” to prepare some breakfast (which was always bread, cheese, foul, a salad that’s all). Maybe it’s a place for a solo traveler man but not for someone with a western standard.

The room smelled bad and the bathroom drain was clogged. The environment around the hotel is very safe. There is a kazaz restaurant a few hundred meters away from the hotel, which is very good. Hotel staff are nice. The hotel's ancient elevator will make you feel like you have entered the world of Harry Potter.

Breakfast is average, you can have an extra bed, can take the child, the location is remote, there is a parking lot. In the middle of the rules, I left the meeting place and ordered it here, on the side of the Nile. Service in general

This hotel was fantastic. My entire family was sad to leave. We could have stayed another week. The rooms are beautiful, the beds luxurious, the restaurants fantastic. The restaurant Saigon was out of this world. Make sure you order the sushi. It’s quite a presentation. Our waiter and busboy were attentive and nice. The belly dancing show at night was so much fun to watch. I really appreciated the bouncer and manager accommodating us and helping us get into the show the first night we arrived. If available, try and get a room associated with the fairmont gold lounge. The breakfasts are out of this world and the happy hour can substitute for dinner since there is so much food. Everyone remembered our name. Special thanks to Amir, Mohammed, salma, salma and abanoub for making us feel welcome everyday. Last but not least, the teenagers loved the rooftop pool and spent many hours there everyday. The staff were super attentive to them and catered to their daily multiple smoothie orders. Like to thank Mahmoud, Mohammed, walid Salem, moustafa ,and mohy for taking great care of them everyday. We toured some of the other nice hotels, but in my opinion, this one was the best and most beautiful. Egypt has been on my bucket list for 15 years. It was a fascinating city with so much rich history. We were well taken care of by our your agency, seeegypt tours. . Would highly recommend them for all your needs around the city. Thanks to all the wonderful people we encountered that made our vacation extra special.

We really liked the location. A lively street with lots of quality restaurants, shisha cafes, etc. close to everyone and in the center of Cairo. You should know that my hotel's swimming pool is also that of a swimming club, so it is busy from morning to evening. This is a detail to take into account if you think you will find peace and quiet there. There is what they call a large hammam which is more of a pool between a swimming pool and a paddling pool. This did the trick for us to cool off after a day of visiting in the heat. We didn't have time to hang out by the pool with the amount of things to do in Cairo. The breakfast is correct and good. I find the value for money good. We were put in a room on the street side which seemed to be a problem because of the noise and incessant honking, it's a local habit but ultimately no, we slept very well. We went to bed late between midnight and 2 a.m. so it was quieter.

Tahir Plaza is a very unusual budget hotel. Dora and Marcelino go waaay beyond what you might expect from a budget place and their genuine kindness and desire to please is reflected in the tours they arrange with guide Ashour (who we used). The rooms are divided over two floors, the second and fourth. We had Amun room on the fourth floor which was MASSIVE and had a balcony. It was scrupulously clean - I spotted them ironing the bedsheets whilst they were already on the bed which I’d attention to detail isn’t it! The building itself (away from hotel area) would be a kindness to call shabby and doesn’t form a great opinion when first arriving at the building. The hotel rooms are clean, high ceilinged and beautiful though and offer real value for money. We spent the money we saved by staying here on private tours arranged by the hotel - omg you must try them! Go to Wadi Al Hitan desert and see fossilised whales in the sand, have breakfast in the middle of the desert with fossilised sea shells shimmering around you (30 million years ago, the desert was the bottom of the sea). Ishmael the Bedouin will zoom the 4 wheel drive up and down sand dunes whilst blasting out Arabic trance style music….later, swim in magic lake! Thats all one trip! We had the best time ever at Tahir plaza thank you Dora and Marcelino!

Stayed here as part of a tour group. Would not have been a choice is travelling independently. The foyer was dowdy and the lifts were very slow. The foyer was always full of tour groups coming and going. The room had a balcony which was great to provide fresh air. The bed was OK - sheets were clean. Bathroom has a leaky shower and the toilet paper did not last long. Breakfast on the top floor was basic - omelettes, bread, juice and cheeses and coffee. Had only small towel in bathroom and did not realise that they were not bath towels but hand towels. There were many small stores in the street from the hotel which sold water, snacks, fruit, baked goods and even offered haircuts. It was within walking distance of the metro. The restaurant onsite provided a selection of food to cater for most people at an acceptable price. They also took credit cards.

You get a room and that is all and not a very good one at at that. The room had seen better days as it probably has not been renovated in decades. The TV that worked with one channel in Arabic and a remote that didn’t work. The tv was an old Grundig from the 1990’s. The wifi worked ok sometimes and not at all most of the time. The room had a Kitchenette that included a steam kettle. No coffee, no tea supplied. I thought breakfast was included but it wasn’t. Apparently it wasn’t included in my room purchase. It wasn’t a cheap purchase so I would hate to think whatever the more expensive package would cost. I was charged an extra 100 EGP for a breakfast that was very minimal. I tried to get the front desk to arrange a taxi for me. The front desk person told me to go out front and hail a cab. He simply walked away from me. Did he not know how difficult it is for a non Arabic speaking person to talk to a non English speaking cab driver. My advice to remember that foreigners need your help. My advice to anyone out there. Book another hotel. You pay 4 star prices for 1 star accommodation.
