“Amazing hotel and view of pyramids”

Very good hotel, everything in description was the same. Good breakfast, comfortable room and amazing view of pyramids. All staff of hotel were very good and kind people.

“Clean basic compact hotel room with pyramid view”

We stayed on the 3rd floor and could see the pyramids and the Sphinx from our balcony. The rooftop gives an even better view, especially at sunset. The hotel is located on a busy and noisy street; sleep might be elusive for some (wear earplugs, they helped me). Due to its proximity to a mosque, calls to prayer are audible from inside the room too. The room was basic and clean but on the small side. Bathroom is rather small also. Amenities like iron and hairdryer are not available in the room; you have to request for them. Breakfast is included: edible, just ok. The hotel personnel were friendly and helpful. The hotel is within walking distance to restaurants and food stalls, with a bakery and convenient stores just across the street. It takes about 3 minutes to drive to the Sphinx entrance from the hotel. Good location to be if you want to observe a neighborhood: from the horse carriages, camels, tuk-tuks, cars, and other vehicles to kids, local folks, mosque, buildings (some decent looking, others decrepitly crumbling), stores, etc.If you do have the opportunity, eat at Tarik’s Falafel, located across the mosque. The stall is tiny but it serves the best falafel sandwich I have ever tasted.

“It was Ok but never again”

First time in Egypt and we stayed in room 503 the Executive Suite Panoramic Pyramids View & Jacuzzi. We stayed here for a week at the beginning of Oct 2025.

First time in Egypt and we stayed in room 503 the Executive Suite Panoramic Pyramids View & Jacuzzi. We stayed here for a week at the beginning of Oct 2025. I've given it 3 stars because there seemed to be more cons than pros. Pros - The hotel was pretty clean - If you were going to stay here, book this room. - The room seemed to be the one furthest away from the outside noise - This hotel seemed to be one of the best ones around the area when it comes to noise and location. - The staff were fine and always provided us with extra toiletries if needed. - I gave the room an overall 4 star only because of how bad the outside was and this was the only place you could feel relaxed. - Location is 2 stars just because of how close it is to the pyramids, but the outside wasn't good. - I gave the service 4 stars (would have been 3), but the receptionist at the time of check in did take our suitcases up 1 flight of stairs as the lift only goes up to the 4th floor. Cons - The room isn't very private. If you're a woman, bring a little top/bikini set, or just close the curtains (but that defeats the object of having the view). Men should be OK but maybe a pair of shorts?. The hotel across the view is really close so make sure you're ok with people potentially looking at you. - The shower has a massive open window, so if you're on the toilet or taking a shower, everyone can see you, so bear that in mind. - Not all the pictures advertised on the website are true. Most of them are, but i noticed the bath tub for room 503 is a double jacuzzi when it's not. The rest seem to be correct. - The breakfast was very poor & minimal. You don't get a choice of anything, just what you are given and we found the food to be dry like it's been left out. Save on a few pennies and don't book the breakfast and bring your own food over. We were lucky that we brought breakfast bars with us, otherwise we'd be without food (especially due to the lack of shops for decent food isn't around). - We didn't go for dinner here due to the above point and also we saw/heard a lot of rats, so it was a little off putting, because where we heard them running around, it was close to where they get the food from. - As you're on the top floor, the rats (like other reviews have mentioned) do run across the ceiling. - Again, as other reviews mention, the umbrellas on the opposite side of the hotel when looking out at the view just spoil it. - There was one night where someone tried to get into our room, so we were a bit wary about that. The hotel isn't fully locked so anyone could get into reception, go up the stairs/lift and try any room. There isn't always someone at the front desk monitoring it all. So make sure you lock your room at all times. - The bath/jacuzzi took a long time to fill so bear that in mind. - Wifi kept dropping which was annoying as, due to the location of the hotel, we didn't want to leave so had to stay in. - Minor but there wasn't a lot of plug points so either bring an extension cable or multi plug. Location & Tips - These points aren't exactly the hotels fault but stuff to watch out for. - The street view & images advertised online aren't true. It's not as clean as it's made out to be. Expect rubbish all over the place, dogs and people sleeping on the street and horrible smells. - You will get hounded by the residents on the streets, especially if you're English. If they find out you can speak a bit of English, they will pester you. TIP - Pretend you can't speak English and just keep saying No thank you in their language "la shukran". The first usual question they ask is "where are you from",. Try not to answer and pretend you don't understand or just smile and walk by. - As we were there for 7 days, they picked up that we were english and the pestering became worse each time and all we kept saying was no thank you and we got a vicious comment from one of the guys on the street saying "You are in our country, you should respect us", but what they don't understand is we said no thank you about 7 times and they continued to ignore our personal space. - What you hear online about how nice Egypt is, especially Giza, please take with a pinch of salt because it's not 100% true. - Uber & taxi's were a nightmare, this is one of the reasons why we just stayed in. Uber overcharge you and taxi's drop you off at the wrong location so they can save money. If it wasn't for my partner being used to these kind of scams, 6 ft tall and isn't a push over, i'd be screwed. So don't back down at all. No matter what! - We understand that people need to make a living but the constant pestering, even after us saying no, makes it impossible to want to help. We gave tips and more money to those who just sat back and let us venture around. Just one shop and one taxi driver out of the whole week. - There was a couple of days where my anxiety was just too high, i couldn't leave the room, so my partner had to go out and get dinner. On his way back he was harassed yet again, and after saying no thank you as always, one of the local residents said "You don't need to be scared", but it was more in a threatening tone. This is where we really just had enough. - If you really really want to see the pyramids, i'd 100% recommend booking an all inclusive resort away from this area, and taking the time to travel 6/7/8 hours to go see them and 6/7/8 hours going back. I know it sounds like a lot and a long day of travelling but it's nothing compared to the mental drain you have to deal with around the area. Or just stay here for a night or 2. I wouldn't recommend doing it longer, unless you are fine with all of the above. - When you're in the pyramids, be prepared to be hounded yet again. One guy on a camel said he will take a picture and we knew he'd want money. We gave him money but he followed us for about 100 yards as he wanted more and got very pushy and annoyed.
