    Breakfast was great, well presented and plenty of food. Also a good view of the pyramids from the swimming pool. Osama also helped us with a tour in Cairo on our last day.

    The best choice for a short stay in Cairo/Giza

    The area - absolutely nothing to do.

    For a short stay this hotel offers excellent value for money. The only minus is the area. Here is absolutely nothing, so you are stuck in the hotel. No retsaurants, no shops etc. But surely we would stay here again if only for one or two nights. Heres i a wonderfull rooftop with the view to the pyramids, very clean, and very very nice brakfast. The hotel arrange excursions and airport transfers at very competitive rates with short notice. The staff is over the target, helpfull and extremely friendly. We booked a room with the balcony and we really had a wonderful time here. But more than two night (if not having the days full of sightseing) would be to much. We can only recommend this hotel..

    The pressure of the water in the shower wasn't great. They cleaned the rooms, but only when requested.

    The breakfast was delicious. The little pool was great for small kids. Beautiful view from the rooftop restaurant. The rooms were a good size and I liked the little balcony. Price was great in comparison to other options.

    As other guests have said, the location is a bit remote. No cafés, restaurants or shops. Doesn't really matter if you just want a nice place near the pyramids and you can use Uber.( I went for a walk in the evening and stumbled across an engagement party which I got invited to. Spent the evening with lovely Egyptians and ate my dinner with them. Nothing like Egyptian hospitality!) One little suggestion, not really a complaint.....My booking included early and late check out and 10% off food and drink. However, the receptionist called me at 12pm and said it was time to check out. I explained that I had already paid for late check out but he didn't seem to understand me and said I had to pay more. In the end, he said "OK, you can have it for free." So I suggest you discuss the terms and double check when guests check in so you avoid confusion and stress. Also, as an international hotel, the level of English from some staff members needs to be better. I speak a little Arabic and that helps, but for other guests it would be helpful to improve the English. I'm an English teacher, so I can offer you a course some time for free accommodation. 😀 Finally, please don't pressurise guests to give you a review score of 10. It's not nice. Just ask them to give you a favorable review if they're happy. All in all, I'm very happy with this place.

    The staff is very kind and helpful, always eager to please and service was prompt. The bed is super comfortable, which is important for me and the room is lovely and big with good AC, a fridge and kettle. I was really comfortable and the bathroom and shower were nice. Nice food at the restaurant. Love the rooftop terrace and pool and the breakfast is amazing, served with a smile. I would definitely stay here again.

    The location is somewhat remote so if you would like to be in the centre or closer to restaurants and shops this might not be the right hotel for you. Lunch and dinner in the hotel are mainly pizza, pasta and some meat dishes. Not catering very well for vegetarians.

    Amazing view from the location looking at the Great Pyramids of Giza. If that is your main interest and would like a budget friendly hotel this is definitely the right place to go to. The staff was nice and helpful. I would recommend using über if you want to go anywhere from the hotel. Breakfast provided by the hotel is nice and you can have it anytime between 8am and 5pm. Rooftop is usually quiet so you can enjoy the pool and the view in peace. Rooms are very spacious.

    Excursions booked through hotel are overpriced, plus guide and driver showed up 1 hour late. Issue with the pool, which was in maintenance when we wanted to use it in the afternoon after a hot morning. But this was I guess exceptional.

    Good location in a closed (yet unfinished) compound, 15' drive from Gyza Pyramids. Beautiful view from the rooftop on the Pyramids. Very good and extensive breakfast. Kitchen and pool open very late. Spatious and cool rooms.

    Wifi does not work, neither did mobile data in the rooms most of the time. Prices of the restaurant were very very expensive, but the food was good. The bedsheets didn’t seem very fresh but I cannot say for certain that they were not changed from the previous guest.

    It was ok for Cairo. Nice breakfast with a view to the pyramid.

    The pool is very shallow and quite small, but it meets purpose of a good dipping pool to cool off. Very clean too and the view of the pyramids while having breakfast was amazing.

    The breakfast was fantastic, hats off to the chef. Best omelette!! The staff were great, especially Islam, Mahmoud and Khalid. The owner Samman was very helpful, arranging driver to collect both me and my cousin. The beds are so comfortable and the rooms very clean and modern.

    The air conditioner didnt work properly, it is more like a fan. The location is in the middle of nowhere, you will need a transport to go anywhere, you need UBER app. Thanks that i read the reviews I knew that the charge a big amount if you pay by card, so do it by cash. And the restaurant charges a lot for service.

    Big bedroom, big toilet, very clean. Great views of the pyramids from the roof. It has a swimming pool (very small, but enough for refreshing), big breakfast. Very quiet area and very safe.
