Awful hotel - do not stay here!
Pros:

This hotel is disgusting! Very dated but also dirty and severely run down.

Our flight was cancelled so we were left with limited accommodation choices. We therefore paid well over the odds for one night. Our first room was awful so we asked to be moved. Second room marginally better.

On the positive side the bed was clean and the staff were very nice.

On the negative side - everything else!

Cafe underneath played music really loud late into the night. Pool area is all closed as is the Terrace area. Restaurant only open for breakfast which was really not good. Area feels quite unsafe and heavenly construction work that will be going on for years outside (new metro).

Overall - do not stay here!

One word “Terrible”
Pros:

I booked only to find a very run down place with no reservation done for me. They told me they have no room or place for me to stay. Thank you.

Nightmare
Pros:

Arrived in the dark and it didn't look too bad, but we asked if they had a restaurant and was told yes, but he forget to tell us it was closed, so we had to go in the coffee shop which when we got the food it was very greasy and unpleasant, it says tea and coffee in room but there was nothing so we asked for kettle and cups which were paper and when looked at were all sticky inside, so presumed they had been washed out. The outlook from balcony was like a rubbish tip, lock on safe broken and the bathroom was awful. We checked out later that day even though we were supposed to stay 3 days, and not one member of staff asked us what was wrong, they just let us leave. Please do not go in this hotel its horrible.

Aracan Pyramids Hotel
Pros:

A little worried when we arrived (hubby and I traveled together). When we walked into the lobby there were a bunch of teenage kids making a lot of noise, talking, laughing, etc. It was after 10:00 at night so we thought this was strange. Our room had a broken glass balcony, part of the carpet was pulled up and could be easily tripped over. The phone in the room was filthy. There was mold in the bathroom at the floor and shower. Just didn't look very clean at all. I have pictures I will post. We were able to see the pyramid in the far distance but looking out our balcony we saw a lot of trash just across from the hotel. It was extremely noisy from the constant horns beeping. Trust me, "constant" is not an exaggeration! Breakfast was not very good but I guess since I've never been to Egypt or had Egyptian food maybe it's just what they eat. Not appetizing to us though. The orange juice was more like a watered down orange drink. There was not an outside pool as it shows in the picture. There was an indoor pool but it was covered up and the area was made into something like a wedding area. We booked this trip through Travel Zoo and Travel-O-Deal so they chose the hotel. We stayed there a total of 5 nights I believe and it was okay but when they say it's a 4 star hotel keep in mind that 4 stars in Egypt is not the same as 4 stars in the U.S. In the U.S. it would have been considered more of a 1 star in my opinion. There were guards at the entrance also.

I recommend this hotel
Pros:

Very warm stuff, friendly and smileling. I feeling safe in this hotel. And the Egiptian food in Milano restaurant is just out of this Word. The best chief in Egipt works here. Although rooms need renovation I still strongly recommend this hotel. Not expensive stay in Giza. And nice wiev of pyramids.

Trashy & unsafe
Pros:

This hotel needs a total renovation. The room is dirty, stained carpets in the room, hallways, moldy bathroom walls and shower curtains. It smells like cigarettes because smoking is allowed throughout. The room door had ridges as if someone tried to break in which felt unsafe. The hallway lighting is dim which adds to the feeling of being unsafe. The staff did their best to make our stay comfortable but the environment made it impossible to feel comfortable or safe. The noise from the traffic was deafening even in the wee hours of the morning. It just never got quiet. It was also noisy in the hallway. We stayed one night only because we could not allow ourselves to stay any longer. We asked to be transferred to another hotel when we returned to Cairo from the Nile cruise. No travel company should book this hotel for their guests. It is inhabitable.

Dirty and poor service
Pros:

We booked this hotel based on the Aracan name, as we have stayed several times in the Aracan Eatabe Luxor, where we have alway enjoyed a clean and very friendly environment with great service.

I was deeply disappointed when I arrived after a very long journey from the UK to a dirty foyer and a very run down looking room with a bathroom in a state of disrepair. Staff were not very helpful and the food at breakfast was poor at best.

As for the pool area, this was clearly not available to guests and appeared to be permanently decorated for weddings and special occasions.

The only good point was Milano's coffee shop/cafe/bar.

Very poor hotel and service
Pros:

Booked into this hotel with a friend as we have stayed in the Aracan Etabe Luxor many times and assumed it was to the same standards.

Hotel in general in poor repair and was dirty. Bedrooms dirty with signs of disrepair, lack of towels for two people. Reception staff disinterested and not welcoming. When asked for a kettle was told it wasn’t his problem and waited 2 days for one to appear. Food for breakfast was poor with little choice. Had to ask for items to be replenished and flask for tea was broken and difficult to use. On one occasion had to wait for access to restaurant as it had not been cleaned from earlier use. Swimming pool inaccessible as set up for weddings throughout our stay.

Would not return or recommend to anyone. Staff require training on customer service and hotel in general needs bringing up to standard.

Only saving grace was the Milano cafe, staff attentive and food was good.

Pros:

I checked in June 1st and checked out June 1st. Pictures on Expedia are not accurate. Very old and very tiny room. When we pulled up it looked closed and they gave my wife and I a twin size bed. We booked for a king. Shower didn’t work, flies everywhere. We ended up going to Sheraton Cairo Hotel and Casino. So save your money on this hotel and just spend the money on Sheraton. Also they said they will refund me the other two days I didn’t stay and no word from them yet.
