Providing city views and a shared lounge, Pyramids Gate Hotel is located in the Giza district of Cairo, less than 1 km from Great Sphinx and 4.6 km from Giza Pyramids.

Great view from the rooftop, very close to the pyramids and very friendly and welcoming stuff. The neighbourhood is a bit underdeveloped but it’s great for a short stay.

Offering garden views, Sakan 275 is an accommodation set in Cairo, 23 km from City Stars and 26 km from Cairo Intl Conference Centre.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Sakan 275 Hotel. I consider it to be a hidden gem in Egypt. It is affordable, clean and bug free which has not always been the case when I have traveled throughout the Middle East and Africa. The shared kitchen area was also very clean. Mr.Ahmed, the owner, and his staff were very responsive to my needs. Shortly after arriving in Egypt Mr. Ahmed used his personal car to drive me to the grocery store. I am not very fluent in Arabic, so whenever I needed a taxi, Mr. Ahmed and his staff were very eager to help me. During a 7 day short trip that I took to Dubai Mr. Ahmed agreed to keep some of my luggage because I didn’t want to have the burden of carrying all of my luggage with me to the UAE. I had a wonderful stay at the Sakan 275 Hotel. I highly recommend this hotel.

Set within 1 km of Great Sphinx and 2 km of Giza Pyramids, Chez l'ami hotel features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Cairo.

Perfect location and beautiful rooftop. The room we initially booked was not available but Sara went above and beyond so we feel comfortable. Do not hesitate to ask for a meal, the home cooked lunch we had on the rooftop was one of the best we’ve had in Egypt.

Situated within 1 km of Great Sphinx and 4.9 km of Giza Pyramids in Cairo, Capo Pyramid features accommodation with seating area.

The host is a nice man and helpful. He always asks if you need anything and if everything is ok. When I arrived from the airport and was tired, he welcomed me with a cold and refreshing drink. The price is very good for what you're getting, a clean room and a shared bathroom, tea and coffee replenished every day. The location is close to the entrance to the pyramids site but outside there are a lot of horses and camels and therefore it smells. You can get Uber and I had no problems getting Uber from this location.

    It's a cheap 2 bed flat in a tall apartment block with kitchen. It's in the heart of downtown Cairo. 15 mins walk to Egyptian museum. Abou tarek, the famous Koshari restaurant is 2mins walk. There are other famous restaurants within 5 mins walk. Key operated lift, so it's safe. Good sized rooms, one with AC, the other with a good fan. Bathroom was fully functional. We used the Washing m/c. The host, Nagwa was very friendly and charming. For the money we paid, it wasn't bad.

    The apartment is way more spacious than it looks in the photos, doc Amro is an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent time. The compound has a nice restaurant and good swimming pool. It's a bit outside the city centre but uber is cheap so that balances out. Me and my family couldn't be happier with our experience in this accommodation.

    Great location for the pyramids - next to the ticket office for the sphinx entrance and fantastic views from the terrace - probably one of the nearest hotels to the site. Friendly and helpful staff - they helped me book a cheap taxi into town after Uber let me down so really appreciated. Hotel is clean and my room was pretty quiet.

    The guesthouse is not for those looking for luxury, but it offers comfortable accommodation. The area is quiet, which mattered the most to us. There is air conditioning in the room, but for us there was no need to turn it on. The view from the rooftop is extraordinary. The host was very attentive with us. He organized the pickup from the airport, prepared breakfast and dinner at the hours we wanted. The prepared meals were delicious.
