The waiters are not engaged at all …they wander about seemingly aimlessly looking busy but dysfunctional Also they don’t seem to have basic communication skills They were very slow to understand if at all and often wouldn’t say if they didn’t understand This left us often feeling we weren’t going to get what we asked for This happened at lot at breakfast Sadly ruined our experience and last day especially when our breakfast order was nearly 1 hour late Reception , hostesses , hospitality & doormen were super

Everything about this hotel was amazing the look, cleanliness, employees, helpfulness, restaurants, and just the atmosphere and hospitality was second to none. This was one of the best hotels that I’ve stayed at and I’ve been to a lot in multiple countries. This is a must stay if you visit Cairo. Words cannot explain it you just have to see for yourself.

Incredible and safe property for a space to stay in Cairo while exploring the city. A little further away ( although closer to the airport ) but worth it. Far more luxurious and far better food than the Four Seasons and other premium hotels in the city.

We stayed at the Waldorf for 2 nights with our children, and we absolutely loved the hotel. The staff couldn’t do enough for us. They were so helpful, and attentive. They helped to organise our trip to see the pyramids, easily and we were so happy. We paid attention to the children and were so friendly. We would definitely be back.
