    The only thing that I didn't like was that the illumination from the light fixtures in the bedroom and the bathroom was inadequate, at least for me it was. Although there was enough functional light, I would not have been able to open a paper or a book and read the pages very easily in the room.

    I stayed in the room with the view of the Sphinx and pyramids in January. The bed was Very comfortable. There was even an oil heater in my bedroom if I had needed it. Everything worked in the bathroom. What I liked most was the hospitality of Mr. Adell, the long time proprieter of the Inn. His hospitality is intentional and genuine. He really went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed to experience a satisfying stay. This is true for all his guests from my observations. I was expecting breakfast because it was included, but not dinner, which came every evening right out of the kitchen for his guests at no additional charge. This is just one of many instances I could mention.

    The wall are thin and there is no privacy at all. You can hear all that is said in the kitchen. It is impossible to get water to flow right at an acceptable temperature to take a shower. It either cold or burning and usually trickles due to low and variable water pressure.

    The view! It was amazing and well worth booking this stay. Localization very near all kinds of shops, restaurants, etc. Eating breakfast every day on a terasse with the view of the Sphinx and the Pyramids was breathtaking. The owner is very friendly, acommodating, and easygoing. He speaks English very, very well.

    The shower in the bathroom was small and had low water pressure. You have to know where you are going as it is a little hard to find, but the host will arrange transportation straight to the door cheaper than you can find on your own.

    View of the Pyramids and Sphinx are unparalleled, but the best part was the host. He helped with everything I needed. (Have him help you with tours, transportation, meals, and whatever else you want. It will save you money.) Facilities are not new, but clean and comfortable. It is definitely not a hotel. If you are looking for a place where you are treated like a guest in someone's home, this is it.

    Not much toilet paper but we had some of our own so no big deal.

    Location was fantastic. View incredible (Pyramids and Sphinx) . Owner (Adel) was the nicest chap you could meet who would do anything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Bottled water available (free). Breakfast varied each day (example bread, jam, battered chips, omelette, falafel, sour cream, fruit tea and bottled water). Seating areas indoor and outdoor if you want to chill and take in the views. Staff were great and available most of the day if you had any problems. A hidden gem is the best way to describe this hotel. If I'm ever in Cairo again I would stay here for sure.

    That I only had one night there!

    I enjoyed my stay at the Pyramids Overlook Inn. I had a delay and arrived late at night but Adel the owner kindly waited for me. I was received like a guest in someone's home. My bedroom was very clean and faced the pyramids, a treat for my first night in Eygpt. Breakfast was delicious! Suzu cooked up a spread for me. The ticket office is right outside and Adel gave me advice on how to navigate the complex. The bed was large and comfortable and the shower pressure was great as long as the tap was off in the kitchen!

    Bedsheets and bathroom door lock could be better.

    Location, literally sleeping next to pyramid. The owner and staff amazing hospitality and so helpful. We arrived really late after 2am and following morning, overslept by missing alarms and Mr. Adel and Zizi were so nice and understanding even though we passed the check out time. It made our first ever pyramid visit a special one, thank you Brother Adel and all staff.

    This is really a small issue, but a shower curtain would do wonders inside the toilet, also there could be more vegetarian options, if there were I do probably even have lunch there, but the food was excellent nonetheless.

    This is probably the best view from the sphinx and pyramids you can get, the light show happens in front of you. Staff is great and kind, the breakfast and dinner were delicious (I am vegetarian). My room was spacious, bathroom wasn't inside it but very close so nothing to bother. That view to the pyramids everyday I was there will remain in my memory forever.

    Most friendly and welcoming owner. Adel you are top man in Giza. Very helpful. Organised our driver for Memphis and Saccara and our camel and horse for pyramids. It's the last house before pyramids so view from the balcony is amazing. Depends of your expactations - 60usd for 2 nights for 2- wonder how much would be 5star hotel in this location. Adel was waiting for us till we arrived from airport at midnight.A little breakfast in the morning with coffee is a plus, nice lady served it. Even hours after chceck out they let us in to refresh before flight. Very much recomended for short stay.

    Could not be closer to the pyramids, just 2 minutes from the entrance to the sphinx side of the pyramids. For the budget it did as expected

    no

    The staff and the boss are very nice and pay great attention to the safety needs of their customers. The hotel is very close to the Sphinx. One day, we returned to the hotel quite late, and the young lady at the front desk was still waiting for us to return and open the door for us. She was very responsible. The rooms are also very clean, and breakfast is provided. You can even dine with a view of the pyramids. It felt like a home in Egypt. I wish the boss and his staff all the best. thanks for your help, Greetings from China
