Giza front row to the Pyramids9
Pros:

What made this stay truly special is that the hotel is locally owned and managed, so by staying here you are directly supporting the local community and families instead of a big international chain — and you can genuinely feel the heart behind it.
The location is strategic: super convenient for visiting the pyramids and just an easy Uber ride from the central parts of Cairo. Waking up and seeing the pyramids from the room felt almost unreal.
Our room was very spacious, spotless, nicely furnished and comfortable. The view alone was worth the trip.
The real soul of this place is the staff. The team is made up of many young local people who are incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. They don’t treat you like just another tourist — they truly want to make you feel like a valued guest in their home.
If you want an authentic experience, warm human connection, and a great view of the pyramids, this hotel is absolutely worth it.

Cons:

One small downside was the tour service offered through some external guides. While the hotel itself was wonderful, not all the guides we encountered were completely trustworthy by telling us some things that were not true and making us buy experiences at the prices way above the medium rate — unfortunately something that can happen quite often in Egypt.
I would kindly suggest that the hotel be a bit more selective with the people and companies they collaborate with for local experiences and tours, because the quality and honesty of these guides should match the warmth of the hotel staff itself.

We can highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again!
Pros:

A small and charming boutique hotel. The location is perfect for a walking tour of the pyramids via the Sphinx entrance, and the new GEM is also just a short taxi ride away. The airport pickup service worked perfectly, even at night. The tour to Alexandria booked through the hotel was excellent and highly recommended; the guide accommodated all our requests, showed us everything we wanted to see, and didn’t make any stops at papyrus shops or similar places, which is often the case with other tours. The rooms are very spacious and modernly furnished; the refrigerator, air conditioning, and hot water worked perfectly, and the daily cleaning was excellent. The highlight is the breakfast area on the rooftop terrace, which we enjoyed there every day. The day couldn’t start any better. Breakfast is served, and requests are gladly accommodated. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

Cons:

The only drawback was the unstable internet, but this can be worked around with the affordable data SIM cards available in Egypt.

Highly recomended
Pros:

The hotel location is excellent!
It’s very close to the pyramids, so it was perfect for visiting them in the cool morning weather without feeling too hot.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have the chance to stay in a pyramid-view room this time, but we would definitely love to try one on our next visit. The pyramid view from the rooftop restaurant during breakfast was absolutely amazing 👍🏼

The room condition was also excellent.
Unlike many other hotels, the room was very spacious, and it had a large comfortable sofa and table, which made it very convenient for eating and relaxing.

Best of all, the hotel staff were incredibly kind and helpful!
We had an issue while trying to arrange a taxi to the airport, but they gave us so much assistance and helped us arrive safely.

Thanks to the great location, comfortable room, and friendly staff, we had a very relaxing stay. If we have the chance, we would definitely love to visit again!

Cons:

None

It’s literally 3 minutes walk from the old entrance to the Giza park. The pyramids view is very nice. Staff is helpful. Big thing - it’s calm and silent. Windows are sound proof

Cons:

When you leave the hotel - you come to the street full of Cairo staff )

Be Very Cautious
Pros:

The breakfast staff were amazing, and the quality of the breakfast was really good. The views over breakfast were good too. The rooms were lovely and clean, but there is no safe to keep your belongings. It was good to communicate via WhatsApp as they were helpful. They got s some milk on landing so we could have a cuppa. There is a local app called Indrive - use this instead of UBER

Cons:

Unfortunately, our experience was mixed due to some concerning behaviour from staff. While the airport pickup was smooth, we later realised we had been charged significantly more than what was listed on booking platforms.

As two women travelling alone, we chose this hotel based on its reviews, but things quickly felt off. We arrived late, and the staff repeatedly claimed their card machine wasn’t working, pushing us to pay in cash or via bank transfer. We declined. An hour later, they refunded our original card payment while still insisting the machine was broken—until it suddenly “worked” again.

Throughout our stay, we felt overcharged for almost everything—often up to four times the expected price. For example, when arranging transport to a festival, the staff quoted us $90 USD, but using Google Translate, we saw them negotiating $50 USD privately for themselves.

There were also uncomfortable moments around privacy. When a driver we had independently arranged picked us up, the staff questioned him about how long we’d be gone, when we’d return, and who he was.

Housekeeping was minimal—we received just one towel change and no proper room service over four days.

I wouldn’t say to completely avoid this place, but I strongly recommend being cautious. Keep your key with you, use trusted local apps for transport, and avoid cash payments when possible. Notably, the charge that appeared on my credit card afterwards was listed under a perfume shop—not the hotel—which raised further concerns.

We left two days early, and the member of staff on the last day spoke great English, we explained all of this. The manager did contact us via WhatsApp and offered us a meal for the feedback, but the experience was draining.

Pros:

Удачное месторасположение отеля: 5 минут пешком от входа на плато Гиза рядом со Сфинксом. Просторный номер, в номере есть все необходимое. Вкусные завтраки, отзывчивый персонал. Спасибо молодому человеку на ресепшн за помощь с обменом билетов! Отличный вид из ресторана на пирамиды.

Cons:

В один из дней нужно было позавтракать пораньше. Два раза вечером предупредили на ресепшн, что завтрак должен быть готов к 8.00. Заверили, что все будет ок. Придя на завтрак к 8.00 обнаружили, что его даже не начинали готовить, пришлось ждать. В итоге поменяли планы и перенесли встречу с гидом на более позднее время.
