Nonostante l’albergo Il Cairo è meravigliosa
Pros:

La posizione è insuperabile anche se sembra incredibile che guardando le piramidi la prima cosa che si vede è un cumulo di macerie davanti agli alberghi in una zona pubblica.
La vista dalle due terrazze è unica

Cons:

L’accoglienza è stata mediocre. Ma le nostre tre camere erano praticamente senza finestre se non una piccola, che dava in un cunicolo che finiva con una grata. L’odore di forte deodorante per ambiente dolciastro ci ha assaliti, in effetti doveva coprire un fortissimo odore di fogna che saliva dalla doccia. Dietro il wc una zona perennemente allagata. Le lenzuola non certo di cotone e gli asciugamani, non erano sporchi ma semplicemente molto usati e non bianchissimi. Frigo vuoto e rumoroso (lo abbiamo staccato), per raggiungere il mio lato del letto matrimoniale lo spazio era molto esiguo.
La cena è stata molto mediocre (la carne dura e piena di cartilagini, patatine fritte fredde) la colazione discreta ma ogni mattina cuscini bagnati e bisognava chiedere due o tre volte il caffè prima che te lo portassero.
La pulizia veniva eseguita ma gli angoli restavano non puliti.
Una delusione

Moins bien que sur les photos sauf la vue
Pros:

L'emplacement exceptionnel juste devant l'entrée des pyramides.
La vue depuis la terrasse du petit déjeuner
La vue de notre chambre sur le sphinx et pyramides
Le personnel était OK pour ouvrir le petit déjeuner à 7h20 au lieu de 7h30 car nous avions rdv avec notre guide à 8h

Cons:

La chambre était très sale. Miettes par terre, cheveux, poussière, draps tâches. Rideaux tâchés...
Salle de bain ayant un grand besoin de rénovation, l'eau coulait de partout lors de la douche
Le lit de ma fille n'était pas fait alors que j'avais bien coché 3 personnes
La chambre était indiquée à $77 sur booking mais facture $98 soit disant dû aux taxes...

Très bien situé, équipe très sympa, petit dej parfait. Comme partout, attention aux tours proposés
Pros:

Emplacement idéal juste à l'entrée du site (côté Sphinx), on ne peut faire mieux. Dans une impasse donc pas de bruit de circulation. Equipe de jeunes très charmants. Merci Abdu de m'avoir laissé une heure de plus pour que je profite du musée.
Petit déjeuner parfait et copieux.

Cons:

Chambres basiques mais vu le prix payé c'est un bon rapport qualité prix.
Je n'ai pas pris les tours proposés, mais ai entendu un responsable proposer 20€ par personne pour juste le transfert aller retour vers le musée (les dames étaient 2 donc 40€). Avec Uber comfort, 150 egp par trajet = 5€ aller retour. On veut bien payer un peu plus mais là c'est trop. Ça donne une mauvaise image du pays.

Magnifique emplacement et très belle chambre. Dommage pour le minuscule buffet de petit déjeuner.
Pros:

L’emplacement au pied des pyramides incroyable avec 2 terrasses. La chambre semblait refaite à neuf avec grand lit et matelas confortable. Draps et housse de couette changée tous les jours.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner n’était pas très garni ni varié. Il fallait demander pour qu’ils réapprovisionnent. La terrasse vue sur les pyramides pas propre, chaises et tables très poussiéreuses. Dommage ! Le personnel est là mais il est assis et attend que ça se passe. Et le roof top pas du tout utilisé. Dommage là encore ! Nous aurions bien mangé un soir mais la carte propose 3-4 articles de restauration rapide.

I loved my stay here. The staff were all very lovely and made me feel at home. It’s so close to the Pyramids and the vie
Pros:

The rooftop views were amazing. Staff were very lovely.

Cons:

The only thing I could say is that my room was very tiny and I couldn’t open my suitcase anywhere.

Piramit Manzaralı Keyifli Hotel
Pros:

Otel piramitlerin tam karşısında ve piramit manzaralı iki terası bulunuyor , manzara karşısında kahvaltı yapmak ve Türk kahvesi içmek çok keyifli 🙂 Piramitlerin bilet ofisinin tam karşısında olduğu için kolaylıkla ulaşım sağlayabiliyorsunuz. Kahvaltısı oldukça yeterliydi çeşitleri vardı, taze meyve olmasınıda ayrıca sevdik. Resepsiyon görevlileri güler yüzlü her konuda yardımcı oldular. Bizim tercih ettiğimiz ekonomik odalarda pencereler çok küçüktü ve tam karşısında inşaat vardı bu yüzden oda havasız kaldı ama zaten fotoğraflardan görmüştük bizim için sürpriz olmadı , inşaatın olması bizim için şanssızlıktı.

A fuir !!!
Pros:

Les filles sont souriantes, aimables.

Cons:

L’établissement est en effet proche des pyramides mais l’endroit est juste horrible, sale.
La restauration est juste déplorable ( les filles sont sympas, souriantes mais le garçon qui faisait le service tout le contraire )
Pas de fenêtre dans la chambre
Établissement brouillant
J’ai demandé à me changer de chambre à l’arrivée ( fuite dans dans la salle de bain)
