    The location feels dangerous. Packs of wild dogs chase and attack cars right outside the hotel.... Nothing close by so taxis to go anywhere or order food to be delivered. 30 minutes taxi ride to the pyramids

    The view and the room was nice.

    Bathroom was not very clean, location is not central and even if you have the view on the pyramids on the terrace it is quite far away and on the corner. Also our room had only one very small window that was on a construction site.

    Great staff who is very helpful

    Had to pay cash for the room and we had to walk the area to find a VISA ATM that would work; luckily a local understood the word VISA. Hotel was in a derelict building next to an empty block that was full of rubbish. All the roads surrounding the area were dirt and there was rubbish absolutely everywhere. Definitely not a pretty area.

    We had a view of the pyramids from our hotel.

    Breakfast wasn't great and location/place where this B&B is setup is not ok. But the services, be it Airport pick-up & site-seeing tours, are rip-offs. Everything is 3X of the standard price(Uber..etc). Don't take any services from here. I would have stayed much better place for the price I have paid.

    It is so so far from the pyramids. I was sleeping in Cairo and I moved here to be closer to the pyramids; But... it took me the same time from Cairo to this hostel than from this hostel to the pyramids ticket office the day after, 25 minutes taxi. It is not worth it at all in my opinion. Also the view from the terrace goes with a terrible noise day and night because of the big road in front of the hostel.

    The staff is super nice and friendly!! And the breakfast was good.

    The “hotel” is on the fourth floor. Everything around are homes. One of the hotel employees told us that we had to check out on the incorrect date…even thought he was the one who checked us in. Don’t really trust the hotel’s transportation/ tours. You are in Egypt do everything at your own risk. All of the other hotel staff was very nice.

    The room was very tiny and bed and linens weren’t comfortable. The noise from the major highway was constant. The view from their site was misleading, you can view the pyramids vaguely. Breakfast was minimal and we skipped it on the 2nd days.

    The location was close to the pyramids.

    DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!!!!!! ZERO STARS Booked 4 nights here and instantly regretted it upon arrival. The pictures online and reviews are extremely deceiving. The location was very unsafe and sketchy. Bumpy dirt roads, no pavement. Multiple scary, stray barking dogs everywhere. Staff was nice upon arrival, but....... The hotel room was disgusting. Comforter and sheets were not clean, long red hairs on the sheets, pillow cases, and comforter. We checked in at 3am, and had no option but to stay until morning. So we laid our coats on the bed and pillows, in order to get a few hours sleep. The carpet in the room was dirty as hell. We did not take off our shoes. The bathroom was horrible, caulking around everywhere. We did shower and the water turned cold after 90 seconds. Water leaked all over the bathroom floor. This was the worst hotel experience I've ever had. I travel around the world, multiple countries and even stay in hostels. This was the most disgusting place I've ever "stayed" at. 6 hours after checking in, we checked out. Mind you, booking.com shows the hotel accepts amex and visa, when we checked in at 3am, the front desk man said he only accepts cash. We had no cash on us. So when we checked out, the hotel front desk man lost his cool, yelled at us, told us he can put us in another room, and if we left, he would charge us the full price. Booking.com shows only 1 night is charged for canceling the reservation. The front desk man still insisted we walk to the atm and get cash. I refused. I called booking.com and they confirmed what the site says. The agent changed the reservation to 1 night and canceled the rest with no charge. The front desk man lost his cool even more and yelled at us even more. I was actually afraid for our lives. The booking.com agent even called the hotel and told them their own policy. The front desk man was refusing to let us leave. And then he called the owner, long story short, the owner said no charges due at all.

    Nothing was good about this hotel

    Very important to understand that this is a budget backpacker accommodation which is great if you’re looking for an adventurous trip on a shoestring! if you’re looking to relax and unwind, this might not be the place for you - ultimately you do get what you pay for. The staff are great and the accomodation is okay.

    Clean, EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating staff who helped whenever required (including when our plans fell through and we needed an extra night), and a 24hr desk service which was very helpful to us. Included breakfast was spartan and tasty, very much appreciated. They’re a good bunch of guys, very positive and helpful.

    Finding the hotel (4th floor) wasn't as easy. Door to hotel and outside gate were locked at different times. I did not have a key to enter/exit. It would have been nice if the breakfast had some variety. The occasional cleaning of the windows (to view the pyramids) would be a great improvement.

    The room was spacious and it was decorated in a warm manner. I had a nice view of the pyramids.

    the photos make it seem like the pyramids are a lot closer than they actually are. the hotel is on the 4th floor of an old run down building. the tour they set us up with ended up costing us more than if we had booked it online.

    the breakfast was ok. the staff is friendly.

    I didn't have anything to describe the dislike from this hotel. Perhaps only an hour without electricity due to electricity cut off in the neighborhood.

    Stayed here for two nights. Staff was absolutely fantastic and very hospitable! They frequently checked in with us and catered to our every need (including karak :)). The hotel was clean with well installed contemporary bathrooms, A/C, and comfortable beds. There is a wonderful view of the pyramids at breakfast and from specific rooms. Great breakfast. They arranged two tours of Cairo for us on short notice and reasonable prices with an excellent & very knowledgeable tour guide (thank you Sam!). Great value for money! Highly recommend.
