Pros:

La posizione migliore per godersi le piramidi e la sfinge. Noi abbiamo soggiornato nella suite con terrazza e la vista non ha paragoni con nessun altra struttura. Personale molto carino e gentile, sempre sorridenti, soprattutto la ragazza alla reception. Super consigliato

Our stay at the Gate Hotel was incredibly relaxing, with breathtaking views, exceptional hospitality, and a warm, welcom
Pros:

Our one-night stay at the Gate Hotel was a wonderful start to our trip. The hotel is about an hour's drive from the airport, and the surrounding area in Giza is fairly ordinary, so guests shouldn't expect a particularly upscale neighbourhood. However, once we found the hotel and stepped inside, our entire impression changed.

The moment we entered, we were welcomed with a refreshing and delicious hibiscus welcome drink, which was a lovely touch after our journey.

We were warmly welcomed by Nadine, who was an absolute sweetheart. She greeted us with genuine kindness, made us feel at home immediately, handled our check-in quickly and efficiently, and even took the time to show us around the hotel. Her hospitality truly set the tone for our stay and made us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived.

We stayed in a spacious suite that comfortably accommodated our family of five. After a long journey, it was exactly what we needed. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with an incredible view of the pyramids that made the stay even more special.

The restaurant was one of the highlights of the hotel. It offers some of the most spectacular views imaginable, overlooking all three pyramids and the Sphinx. There are two dining areas—one on the rooftop and another on the fourth floor—and both provide breathtaking panoramic views. Breakfast was excellent, and guests can choose between indoor air-conditioned seating with large panoramic windows or an outdoor terrace, both allowing you to enjoy the stunning scenery while dining.

If your priority is staying as close as possible to the Giza Pyramids and waking up to unforgettable views, I would highly recommend the Gate Hotel. The combination of comfortable accommodation, outstanding dining views, and exceptional hospitality—especially from Nadine—made our stay truly memorable.

Cons:

Overall, there was very little that I disliked about the property, and none of these points took away from what was otherwise a wonderful stay.

One area that could use some attention is cleanliness in a few of the common areas, particularly around the stairwells. The rooms, dining areas, and the rest of the hotel were spotless and very well maintained. It was only these small areas that seemed to be overlooked. It's not a question of luxury—just ensuring every corner of the hotel reflects the same level of cleanliness and care as the rest of the property.

Another minor issue was locating the hotel. My driver took a little extra time finding it, as the signage isn't very prominent from the road. A larger, more visible sign displaying "The Gate Hotel" would make it much easier for guests and drivers to identify the property from a distance.

To further enhance the ambience, I would also suggest reconsidering the fragrance used in the lobby and common areas. During our stay, the hotel appeared to use burning incense, which may not appeal to every guest and, to me, had a scent reminiscent of a temple. Given Egypt's rich heritage in perfumes and fragrances, perhaps a lighter signature scent, a premium air freshener, or a subtle oud fragrance would create a more universally pleasant atmosphere.

One design feature that didn't quite work for us was the placement of the bathtub. In our family suite, the bathtub was located in the bedroom beside the bed and directly in front of the window rather than inside the bathroom. While this layout may be suitable for a couple's room, it felt impractical in a suite designed for families or larger groups. Since I was travelling with my children and my mother, I couldn't realistically use it, so it ended up serving little purpose. If the bathtub had been installed within the bathroom instead, it would have been far more functional.

Make sure to have your tours ready before
Pros:

The location is unbeatable. The hotel is directly in front of the Pyramids with an incredible view. The staff was friendly and tried to help whenever they could.

Cons:

What I didn’t like:
The hotel needs much better maintenance and cleanliness. The toilet in my room leaked dirty water every time it was flushed. I was also disappointed with the Nile cruise they arranged. After I paid, I was told the advertised luxury cruise was no longer available unless I paid an extra $500, and the replacement was much older and not the same quality. I believe guests should receive exactly what is promised.

Nefes kesen manzara
Pros:

Otel çok güzeldi çalışanlar çok ilgiliydiler. Ebutalip ve Dahab’a ayrıca teşekkür etmek isterim. Kahvaltı ve akşam yemeği çok lezzetliydi. Her yerde köfte yemeyen biri olarak köftesine bayıldım. Manzara nefes kesici idi. Odalar temizdi.

Cons:

Fiyat politikası biraz daha şeffaf olabilirdi. Check Out zamanı 1750 TL ekstra ücret ödedim yemeklerini çok beğendiğim için itiraza gerek duymadım. Neyin dahil olup neyin dahil olmadığını net bir şekilde öğrenin.

All and all it was a night I will
Pros:

I loved the view from the balcony, who wouldn’t? It was pure magic. I would love to come back with my friend again and stay longer next time.

Cons:

I would say my only complaint was the horrible noise of moving tables and chairs upstairs, in preparation for breakfast extremely early in the morning. Couldn’t this have been done beforehand in the evening, not when guests are trying to sleep??

Estafadores, no devuelven el dinero, no dan la habitación por la que he pagado
Pros:

Lo único bueno que tiene es que está enfrente de las pirámides.

Cons:

Te dan una habitación mucho peor a la que has pagado, no te devuelven el dinero ni te dan ninguna solución. Hay muchísimo ruido, la comida del desayuno es malísima y el trato de los trabajadores es de lo peor que me he encontrado.

Obsługa miła na recepcji, hotel czysty, pokoje odnowione. Opisy pokoju i zdjęcia odzwierciedlają prawdę. Śniadania na ciepło i zimno. Widok z pokoju i tarasu na dachu wart wszystkiego! Jesli ktoś ocenia ten hotel nizej niz 10 to juz na prawdę nie wiem, co może zadowolić takie osoby.

Cons:

Czasem głośno z ulicy.

Il posto perfetto tra sogno e realtà
Pros:

La vista delle due terrazze è impagabile.

Cons:

Mi è piaciuto tutto… se devi trovare una critica avrei voluto un po più di pulizia, ma niente che delle salviette lysofom non hanno potuto risolvere in pochi minuti.

Location, view, value for money!
Pros:

Great location right by the old Sphinx entrance. View of the pyramids from the Rooftop as well as some rooms. Friendly Staff and you don’t get harassed with trying to sell you tours. You get a great location and all you need for a good sleep at a very cheap rate
