What guests think

Across recent stays at Holiday Inn Cairo Maadi by IHG, travelers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and overall comfort, while noting city traffic noise and occasional maintenance issues that can affect sleep or experience for some guests.

Many suites are spacious with impressive Nile or distant pyramid views, and some include in-room laundry. Breakfast and on-site restaurants earn frequent compliments, though food quality, variety, and speed feel uneven to a minority. Facilities feedback is mixed: guests like the pool, but the gym draws complaints. Expect a practical base in a lively riverside area with some trade-offs.

Such a comfortable place to land while I was in Cairo. Loved the pool with a Nile view. You could even see pyramids in the distance when the air was clear! Maadi is a tourist area and I felt very safe.

the hotel offered beautiful views. However, there were several drawbacks that impacted my experience. Pros: Location: The hotel’s proximity to the Nile provided a stunning view. Friendly Staff: The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Cons: Noise Levels: The hotel is situated on a main street, resulting in significant traffic noise that made it difficult to relax. Service Quality: While the service was decent, it didn’t exceed expectations. Gym Facilities: The gym was below average, lacking the equipment and space I anticipated. Room Issues: My room was generally good, but the air conditioning unit was very loud, making it hard to sleep at night. Unfortunately, there were no alternative rooms available. Pool Experience: On my second morning, while I was trying to relax by the pool, the team was painting the ceilings and walls. The noise and paint smell made it impossible to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere I had hoped for. Overall, while the location and staff were highlights, the noise, air conditioning issues, and pool disturbance significantly detracted from my stay. it wasn't worth the price.

Gym was not well equipped. Barbell: 5kg, 10kg, 15kg. Nothing between! Old rusty and not good, sorry. Room was sticky, walking barefoot from the shower to the bed and I had different things sticked to my feet. Very noisy from the street because the windows are cheap and not insulating. Breakfast: very simple and every day exactly the same. Not even water melon or cheap stuff. For 5 stars, it's not good.

The Nile view suite was amazing. The service and friendliness of the staff wonderful. Super safe area. Great food. Negatives: The hotel is not smoke free and the smell of cigarettes is everywhere. They need to close the door to the lounge where smoking is allowed. They use a very heavy air freshener. Carpet in the room should be replaced with a hard floor covering.

We stayed at this hotel for 4 days while we were travelling in Egypt. We chose a suite overlooking the Nile. Our room was amazing. It was large clean and comfortable. We have an great view of the Nile and on clear days we could see the pyramids of Giza. The staff were kind and helpful. Customer relations representative, Maryam was especially helpful. It was an added bonus to have a washer and dryer in our suite as it allowed us to pack less clothes for the trip. We signed up for the breakfast buffets. They had an excellent selection of foods including made to order omelettes. We ate dinner in some of their restaurants and always enjoyed good food.

The room itself was fine. I was in a suite, but it was oddly set up. There was clearly a spot where a couch should have been, but instead it was empty. No real place to sit and eat within the room aside from a small table near the kitchen that would fit one person. Outside of the hotel is a highway and it was constantly noisy. This might be true of many hotels in Cairo, but I found all the honking and noise to disturb my sleep. English communication was difficult unless speaking to the front desk. Even had a server at the hotel restaurant tell me I could not charge breakfast to my room. ATM in the hotel was broken the whole time I was there, when I asked about it, the front desk seemed to have no idea there was even an issue. Room would get quite hot throughout the day, but the staff would turn off the A/C when cleaning, so you always came back to a hot room. And this stay was in the winter, so I can only imagine the summer. There was a grocery store a couple minute walk away, which was convenient. Room service was adequate. Not amazing. They have a call policy if you leave do not disturb on for your room. It says as much in the hotel pamphlet, but would have been nice to know when checking in. I was woken up by them calling to check on me Not the safest area to be in. Very not-walkable. I'd stay again if I had to, but I mostly chose the location because I was working nearby.

The hospitality of the staff was excellent and the location was easy to find. The only disappointment was that the walls between us and our neighbors were thin and we could hear the noise well, and the windows were not double-glazed, so the noise from cars on the main road was very loud.

Separate bathroom, dressing room with laundry, small kitchen with full appliances, huge picture window out to Cairo and very comfortable beds. We had everything we needed. Hotel staff in the restaurants were also very helpful and service, while a little slow, was good. We dined for breakfast, lunch and dinner at 2 different restaurants over our 4 day stay.

This hotel doesn't meet the usual Holiday Inn standards. I've stayed in many IHG hotels, but this one falls short. The breakfast options are somewhat limited and acceptable, but it's fair to say it's not a delightful experience.
