    Sure it's a little tired looking but it does the basics well with an amazing view

    A central spot to see the pyramids with a beautiful sunset. Room is a good size and meals are delicious.

    We had the most amazing stay at Pyramids View Inn. As a group of 5, we booked three rooms for two nights. The location is amazing and the views superb, ability to walk to shops and restaurants, breakfast on the rooftop with delicious. The Pyramids View Inn is in no way a 5 star hotel. It is basic accommodation with basic amenities. What it lacks in "class" it makes up for in authenticity and I highly recommend it for people with a sense of adventure wanting a true Egyptian experience close to everything Giza has to offer.

    we received a room with three small beds instead of one large one that we requested and one of the beds had a large white stain on the bedding. the carpet was also stained and looked unclean.

    the staff were very kind and helpful, the location is perfect - basically right in front of the pyramid ticket booth, breakfast was very good, the bathroom was clean with hot water, and the view cannot be beat.

    Only mild inconvenience was lack of internet on 3rd floor from our room for 2 days until they could get someone to fix the floor's router. Internet was always available in the lobby and on the rooftop. The front desk, Kamel, apologized to us repeatedly for the problem. The property rooms and lobby need a good cleaning.

    Spectacular view was 'as promised' over-looking the pyramids and sphinx. From the rooftop, we watched the Sound and Light show every night. Even better vantage than from the paying customers entering the Sound and Light Show venue! Bottled water and toiletries whenever we requested. The Included breakfast was also exceptional and plenty with coffee, juice, fresh fruit, veggies, rolls, pitas, eggs, falafels, etc. free airport pickup 'as promised' which was a welcome relief as we arrived at 2:30 AM and the driver was waiting as we exited the airport with hotel sign and our name and we were able to check-in immediately despite arriving at 3:30 AM to the hotel. ASir conditioning was functional and worked great. Sleeping was a breeze - not much street noise at night.

    The rooms is basic but clean, bathroom small, and the street outside is noisy. The plumbing behind the toilet had a slow leak so the bathroom floor was always slightly wet. If you're on the floor below the rooftop terrace you can hear the chairs on the floor above noisily scraping as they're moved, they need some rubber feet adding! The aircon wouldn't be set below 20C which seemed to be struggling to keep the room cool - it was ok but I would have preferred a bit colder. It's a bit confusing on the roof top terrace as a few adjacent hotels have combined terraces. The Sound and Light show was in Spanish the night we were there which in a sense was a relief as it meant we didn't feel obliged to listen to it all!

    You are here for the view. And it is outstanding! You have a picture postcard view from your bed or the rooftop terrace (although please do stay in a Pyramid view room!). It's magical. The hotel is a basic cheerful place, you're staying here for less than you'd be tipping staff at Mena House round the corner, but with a better view! The street below is noisy, with beeping, animals, sirens, calls to prayer, and the Sound and Light show, and the hotel will give you ear plugs if you ask. The entrance to the Pyramid plateau is about 30 yards to the right. The hotel will get you food from a nearby restaurant, the platters aren't as cheap as eating out but they're good sized ($15 for about half a dozen dishes) and it's brought to you on the terrace or in your room. They will also get you beers (some hotels won't). The staff are very friendly and helpful. We got the airport pickup which wasn't free as we only stayed one night, but was probably still worth the premium over Uber etc as the driver knew exactly where to go at the hotel end and no hassle at the airport end finding the car. About 45 mins with good traffic but at bad times it can apparently be 1.5 hours.

    One could tell that the facility is a bit older and could need a repainting here and there. But to be honest that is such a minor detail, we had an amazing stay and the view was stunning.

    The staff was super friendly and supportive. We felt very welcome.the food was fantastic as well, I did not expect that in such a touristy place. The breakfast was simple but the fresh falafel were incredible and the waiter was as very kind. We had dinner and breakfast on the roof, the view is as stunning as it is advertised and the sunset was incredible. The room was large and had a small balcony. From both balcony and windows we had a direct view of the Sphynx and the pyramides. The Sphynx is just across the street. We were positively surprised and I can only recommend it to anyone who would like to stay with a view of the pyramides.

    The room was cosy but we got twin beds when we had requested double beds. The dinner had limited options and the food served was cold. The front desk staff could be more cordial.

    The location is the best. The view from the room and from the rooftop could not have been better. It was right next to the pyramid complex with only a street separating the two and view was simply unparalleled. The breakfast spread was good.

    Security could be improved. Door locks were weak. It was exciting to see a safe in the room but unfortunately, it was not bolted in. Internet access could be much better but was on par with other accommodation in Egypt.

    Location. Could not have a better view of the Pyramids or Sphinx. Breakfast was great. The room quality was very good for the price.

    Mind you that its a quaint family-run place, not a fancy hotel, so go expecting that. We were warned of noise from the street, but soundproofing is good, and we were never bothered.

    Incredible location, comfortable rooms with breathtaking views, great value for money, but above all, great hospitality with warm smiles, romantic decoration in our rooms, help with planning, and even travel-packed breakfasts for us to enjoy more of our days.

    We had an exceptional stay here, thanks to Kamal and the rest of the staff! Kamal was very attentive in ensuring our needs were met, going above and beyond with assisting us with meals, transport and other bits throughout our stay. Breakfast was superb, especially from the rooftop terrance overlooking the Pyramid complex. Of course, general location and view from our room was outstanding, which attracted us to the property in the first place. However, the hospitality at Pyramid View Inn was the real treat : )
