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.

Located within 1.4 km of Great Sphinx and 2.2 km of Giza Pyramids, Mak Pyramids View offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Cairo.

Our staying in Mak Pyramids View Hotel was very special.  They took us at the airport at our arrival and departure and then when we arrived there was Hany waiting for us. He is such a wonderful person, he was very thoughtful even before our arrival. He promised us to make our trip as beautiful as possible and it was true. Hany gave us a better room than the one we reserved which had a better view on the pyramids for the same price and then he helped us to organise a tour with the hotel based on our financial availability. In the afternoon, he gave us a little tour of the city and he told us stories about the culture and the people who lives there. The room was clean and comfortable, it had everything needed suchas a fridge with beverages, some snacks and air conditioning. The breakfast and the dinner were prepared by them with traditional and local food with love. The atmosphere in the hotel was familiar and give us the chance to go through the traditional and local Egyptian culture. As for the tours, he created an itinerary in which we had the possibility to visit all the main attractions of Cairo with Ali in one day. He made our vacation. Ali is such a special person. He is very funny, he made us laugh a lot and he also took us a lot of beautiful photos. He stayed with us all day and took us everywhere by car, we could trust him for everything, no one will sell you nothing at the wrong price if he is with you. Also he finds everything you want or need, no matter the time.  Hany and Ali will always have a place in our hearts, they were the most beautiful part of our trip and we are very grateful to know them and we hope to see them as soon as possible, in Egypt or even in Italy.

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 less than 1 km from Great Sphinx, LOAY PYRAMIDS VIEW offers massage services, and air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi.

It’s a very comfy and large room with a shared bath. There are only 3 rooms in total so there was never a queue when I was there. You can use the kitchen - free coffee, tea, fridge etc - and the living room as if it was your home. The host is very nice and always offering help. But the best thing is the view from the rooftop terrace right above the hostel. Best views of the pyramids. So the whole stay is great value for money.

Located in Cairo, near Tahrir Square, Al-Azhar Mosque and The Egyptian Museum, Homestay features a shared lounge.

The location is excellent situated in downtown Cairo with easy access to most major attractions, yet far enough from the busy, noisy parts of the city to offer a peaceful stay. However, the mattress and pillows could be more comfortable, and the washroom would benefit if upgraded taps and a comfortable commode.

    Great host-family with excellent service. The accommodation was very near to the Pyramids and super-clean, view was amazing. Breakfast was enough and excellent quality. It was Mr Mahmoud and his family, who were kind, friendly and customer-focused, made my stay special. I felt valued and been treated like a family member. This amazing accommodation and host family deserve a tourism award for their hard work and best service.
