Un hôtel de rêve pour un site iconique.
Pros:

Un endroit sublime, avec une vue imprenable sur le plus beau site du monde. Une équipe exceptionnelle, charmante, prévenante, disponible à tout moment. Des prestations de grande qualité, des tables variées et délicieuses.
Il n’y a pas plus bel endroit pour découvrir Le Caire. Un bijou !

The Hotel Marriott Mena Casa is in an exceptional location, it provides great service, lovely spacious & clean rooms
Pros:

We had an absolutely brilliant stay at this wonderful hotel at the foot of the pyramids. The hotel facilities are wonderful, food in restaurant 139 Pavillon delicious. Tour arrangements a breeze to organise through the very helpful and welcoming team on site. This is a truly special hotel and we hope to be back.

O Mena House é Lindíssimo, e com um serviço de topo.
Pros:

A localização do Hotel é soberba. Tomar o pequeno almoço e jantar frente às pirâmides de Gia é sem duvida magnifico.
A comida era ótima e havia bastante variedade. O pequeno almoço também pode ser servido " à carta" caso não goste de Buffet.
Os funcionários são incansáveis e super amáveis. O Hotel tem bastante segurança, inclusive controlo de malas na entrada.
A piscina é magnifica, sempre muito limpa e com serviço de refeições que funciona perfeitamente, com variedade de escolha. Nós adoramos as saladas e os Panini.
Os quartos estavam impecáveis, e a limpeza era completa, inclusive arrumavam tudo, a vista da varanda magnifica, víamos o Museu do Cairo e piscina.
O Hotel tem um restaurante Italiano com uma qualidade excelente e um Indiano magnifico.
O nosso favorito era o 139, vista para a pirâmides, com um menu excelente, a carne grelhada era magnifica.
No geral, adoramos a nossa estadia.

Cons:

Não gostamos de ter reservado o " transfer" do aeroporto para o Hotel com o Hote, e termos chegado as 02:40 da madrugada (02:40 PM ) e não estra ninguém à espera, nem atenderem o telefone no Hotel.

We are extremely well traveled, and this was our best hotel choice ever.
Pros:

We had a pyramid view room that was perfect. From our veranda we could see the Great Pyramid perfectly framing the view just like a postcard. It is right next door to the pyramids and the sphinx. There are pyramid views at many locations throughout the property. The staff was absolutely the best... warm, friendly and helpful. The 139 Restaurant was excellent. Our included breakfast was the best we've ever had, and we have stayed at many hotels.

Cons:

What we didn't most like was having to leave the Marriott Mena House. If I had to give them one tip for constructive criticism, I would say they could improve upon the shower. Rather than a combined bathtub and shower, we both would have preferred a fully enclosed shower, no tub, with a handheld shower head option. But honestly, this hotel is a good as it gets. If you're coming to see the pyramids and the sphinx, you should absolutely treat yourself to the Mena House. The price is not cheap, but we consider it a bargain for what you're getting.

Pros:

The view is one of the best in the world, doesn't really need any explanation.
Breakfast was ample and with an incredible variety. The Marriott bakery in Zamalek supplies all their pastry and baked goods, and it's as good as it was 40 years ago. The food was very good in 139 Pavillion, both the local and the international. I encourage visitors to try the koshary.
The service and customer service overall was exemplary.
The hotel is beautiful and has a rich history. It's absolutely

Cons:

The pool does not have an easily accessible step. I was restricted to using the kid's pool, as I would not have been able to get in and out. This is the reason I cannot give a 10, no matter how amazing the stay was.
Also, the pool no longer looks out to the Pyramids, like in the Oberoi days, no pool bar, etc. I understand the tactical move away from a resort-type setup to more of a wedding venue, but still...

A great hotel with a fantastic location
Pros:

My husband and I stayed at the Marriott Mena House in April 2026 and loved it. As a Bonvoy member, they treated us very well. And cannot say enough about the location. A bit pricy, but it was worth it with the proximity to the GEM and the pyramids.

A special thanks to some of the staff.
- Ahmed who took care of our room in the old wing was fantastic.
- Dunya at the concierge desk took great care of us and arranged everything for our visit to the pyramids.
- Mohamad drove us in the golf cart up to the entrance of the pyramids and was waiting there when we returned with ice cold water. He was just great.
Please thank each of them for helping to make our stay so special.
