Kemet Hotel Tahrir Square sits in Cairo, one of those discreet mid-range hotel additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. Geographically speaking it's barely a stroll from the centre of Cairo, and the strong location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Expect practical rooms with an in-house restaurant, reliable wi-fi and a small spa, practical details that keep showing up in mixed but acceptable comfort feedback. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 190 reviews, scoring solid on balance. The reputation reads as steady rather than spiking. Expect to pay something in the region of €63 a night, a fair-value entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Stack Kemet Hotel Tahrir Square against the better-known names in Cairo and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
