The hotel was a Guest House and nit a hotel. It was right beside the Pyrmids of Giza but very far away from evrything else. It was not on a main road and not accessable by car.
The staff where nice and the room clean but the bed was rock solid. All night the prayers over the loud speakers kept me awake. During the day baning that shooke the whole room . You simpley couldn't get a good nights sleep.
Incredible view of the pyramids on the rooftop terrace!! We enjoyed it each night very much. The building is very quaint and lovely and the hosts are very kind and welcoming. We also had dinner on the rooftop and the food was delicious. Hotel is also a short walk to the Sphinx entrance of the pyramids complex.
Thank you so much to the entire staff of this hotel. Before of staying to the hotel, they were attentive that I have good arriving and during my stay there until my departure everything was fantastic. The hotel is very beautiful and spacious in their rooms; also the balconies are very convenient to stay there taking the tea and for relaxing time. Thank you / Shukran !!
The room was clean and the hot water in the shower was good, and I was able to sleep well. Breakfast while looking at the pyramid is the best. The hotel owner was kind and took great care of me. I was happy like a member of the family.
I'll definitely go next year as well.
thank you so much ❣️
The lady bosses were really nice and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I really liked the pillow menu - waking up without a sore neck was amazing!! As a single female traveller it was nice staying at a place run by women, it made me feel extra safe.
I found it easy and safe to get to with it also being walking distance to the pryamids. Let's not forget the amazing view of the pryamids whilst having breakfast.
I will definitely return to this hotel!
I had an awesome experience. My room was impeccable and very comfortable as well as beautiful.
Homemade Breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the pyramids just like the advertisement stated. Hotel was super close to the pyramids. The price was incomparable. Hanna was super attentive and welcoming. She came all the way outside to where the taxi dropped me off to greet me and even help me with my backpack. The AC in the room worked like I like it. Extra pillows for me which I love!!!!

Very friendly and welcoming family. It’s like a hiddrn gem. I really enjoyed the view from the rooftop where you can see the pyramids. Delicious breakfast. Good value for money. I would come back.
Location: 10 min walk from the pyramids' entrance & a very short ride to the new museum. Plenty of uber and other ride share options; it is close to the express road when you want to go to other parts of Cairo.
You can see the three big pyramids from the rooftop.
The place is very clean and secure; you get a key to the main building entrance in addition to your room/suite. Interestingly the majority of hotels in the area are apartment buildings turned into hotels, which gives it a personalized feel as opposed to massive hotel chain buildings. The main entrance to building is hidden from the main road: you have to walk a narrow alley of about 50 m ( a bit of an inconvenience checking in and out if you have big luggage pieces as most vehicles cannot enter). The best part about the place is the staff! I fully agree with a previous reviewer who felt extra safe as a female traveling alone staying in a place run by women. Very nice, courteous & professional staff, make a delicious Egyptian breakfast to order and delivered to your room or to the rooftop if you prefer. Since we stayed 6 nights, we were offered a free ride from the airport.
I had a very excellent experience. My room was impeccable and very comfortable as well as beautiful.

Stanze spaziose, letti con materassi molto rigidi, per me comodissimi, bagni, non in buone condizioni.
La struttura necessita di un restauro. Il personale è stato gentilissimo, e a disposizione, cosi come l'host.
Le piramidi sono a 5 min a piedi, dall'hotel
