The Tahrir Square view from the hotel is possible only in two rooms out of the 15 they have in the hotel. The rooms are somewhat small, though airconditioned and comfortable. The breakfast is usually a few slices of bread, an egg, and some condiments. Keep expectations realistic and you wont be disappointed.

Tahrir View Hotel has one of the best locations anywhere in Cairo, located as it is on the Tahrir Square, a stone's throw from the Egyptian Museum, and a short ride from the Khan el- Khalili souk. I stayed there from 6 June till 9th June, 3 nights, in 2025. What will stick in my memory is the wonderful staff in the hotel - Heidi, Saad, Fathy, Sara and Abdelrahman. All of them made our stay very comfortable. They were always very helpful. The location is packed with banks, shops and eateries. For Indian visitors I recommend a walk to the Namaste Indian restaurant in the Rameses Hilton, located on the Nile Corniche, just 800 meters away. And, of course, a walk to the Nile embankment was enchantment overload.

The room didn’t appear ready… the garbage in the bathroom was half full and the toilet paper roll was almost gone. The sample shampoo and conditioner were used. We needed an additional towel. Although a reasonable price, the supplies could’ve been replenished and the bottom sheet possibly a fitted sheet to stay in place.

The location was great! The breakfast and hospitality was great!

I really liked that the hotel staff pays attention to the guests' remarks and improves the hotel according their wishes & suggestions. The staff is very kind, attentive and helpful. The breakfast was simple, but delicious and sufficient. The hotel is located at Tahrir Square in an old apartment building, the open entrance of which is right by the M sign of the metro station. There is a stall selling bags and suitcases. It is also very close to the Old Egyptian Museum and the bus station.

Location and staff

Stayed in May 2025

The location is near Tahrir Square, so it might not be ideal if you’re sensitive to noise from cars and buses, but at night is okay. There isn’t a lift, but the staff is very friendly and will help you carry your luggage if your room is on the third floor. There are quite a few cats around, and you might notice some droppings on the stairs but they are very cute.

The location is absolutely perfect — we could easily get around either by subway or on foot. It was very convenient for visiting the mosque, Khan El Khalili market, and the Nile River. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and he was able to arrange transportation to anywhere we wanted to go.

Location is perfect. Clean hotel but smell of cigarettes is everywhere, especially in the lobby. Breakfast is very minimalistic and served after 8 if you ask. One time they gave us boiled eggs, which were not cooked at all. I will not stay there again, because of the cigarets and the breakfast. More chooses around.

Lack of security was concerning, cleanliness and facilities for European people might not be up to standard.

Great location, comfortable beds, very kind staff, good value for money.

At first, I was impressed by the reviews of Al Tahir View Hotel, considering it is a 3-star hotel located in downtown Cairo, Egypt. However, when I arrived at the actual hotel, I was a bit disappointed because I had a different understanding of what a 3-star hotel should be — I expected it to be decent. But upon arrival, I noticed that the hotel is very old. There’s no signage, and the entrance looks like a narrow alley. The room is clean, but the slippers provided were dirty, and they don’t replace the towels. The bed is clean and okay. The attendants are also nice and friendly to the guests. However, the breakfast is not well served, and the reception area is a bit dirty. I would suggest renovating the hotel’s façade and the building itself.

The location was fantastic right on Tahrir square but the room was actually really quiet thankfully. The staff were nice. There was air conditioning and hot water.

The hotel located in downtown, close to different touristic sites, like Khan Al Khalili. A small recommendation to the hotel to put outside the plate with the name of the hotel so that guests are not lost. The personnel is very helpful, we asked to change the room, and the receptionist Fathi did it without any extra charge.

• The noise level was quite high, especially in the evening and even around 2-3 AM. Despite side-facing windows, traffic sounds were still loud. • Cleanliness could be improved. • Limited breakfast options, and despite only serving cold items, it took a long time to arrive—so we mostly skipped it. • The hotel was a bit tricky to locate at first. • Water pooled on the bathroom floor after showering, and the water pressure was weak. • The WiFi connection was unreliable.

• The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and customer-focused—special thanks to Fathi and the two ladies at the reception. • Prime location right at Tahrir Square, making it easy to explore the city. • They assisted with booking a day tour to the pyramids and ensured everything met expectations. • Smooth and fast communication, plus a complimentary bottle of water in the fridge.

Positive: + super helpful, kind & customer oriented staff (especially Fathi & the other 2 women at the reception) + excelent location + provided help with booking a daytour for the pyramids and also made sure the service provided was as required + clear & fast communication + welcome water in the fridge + got a bigger room (with two beds) even if i booked for 1 person Negative: - loud noises in the evening and at some point even during the night at 2-3 am + since it as the Tahrir square, even if the windows are on the side, u can hear the insane trafic noises - cleanliness needs a lil improvement - no variety at breakfast & even if just cold stuff was served, it took forever to get it, so we mostly skipped it - a lil difficult to find at first - in the bathroom the water stood on the floor after showering & low water pressure while showering - wifi didn‘t work properly - the view through the window not the most charming - room for the breakfast looks like it is still work in progress

Our stay was very pleasant, and the cleanliness of the hotel was excellent. There were no issues in that regard. However, some of the furniture and amenities seem to be 20-30 years old and could benefit from an update. A refresh would definitely enhance the overall experience. Other than that, everything was great

Our stay was absolutely amazing thanks to the outstanding service provided by the staff. The attention to detail and willingness to assist with every request made our experience truly exceptional. They were always available to help with anything we needed, and we even had the flexibility to change our room without any extra charge. This level of hospitality is rare to find, and we truly appreciate it. Highly recommended

THE HOTEL'S LOCATION AND ENTRANCE MUST BE CLEARLY LEGIBLE FROM THE STREET. HOTEL AUTHORITIES SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS IN THIS REGARD

Avoid this hotel at all costs. The only good thing about this place is the location, but everything else was a disaster. • The room I booked was not available, so I was pushed into a tiny room. • The shower was broken, and even after waiting 30 minutes for repairs, there was still no hot water. • The sheets were dirty, the towels smelled awful, and the cleaning was clearly not done properly. • At night, they started construction work inside the hotel — extremely noisy, even though staff promised it would last only “10 seconds.” • The name says “View Hotel,” but there was absolutely no view. Completely misleading. This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. If you value cleanliness, comfort, or honesty, do not stay here.

location was good

It was very very dirty. The sheets and towels had stains and hair on it, there were a lot of flies and it smelled cigarette in the whole hotel. The bathroom was very unpractical there was water everywhere and the toilets were not clean. I would not recommend this hotel, not even for one night…

The staff was very nice and helpful and the location was great !
