Location was right next to the pyramids and the Sphinx. Could not have been better. Food was good. Room was a bit small but met our needs. We were able to watch the Sound and zlight show from the rooftop.
Traffic in rhe area is congested.
Beautiful terrace view to the Sphinx and Pyramids .
Very friendly people.
Very good breakfast overlooking the Pyramids.
Hotel not easy to find since there are three hotels in the same building but no sign of Blue Scarab Pyramid.
Had to wait almost 1 hour to get the room since they claimed they never received a confirmation from Hotels.
I had booked a room with a view but got a room without windows which i found annoying since I paid for a better room.
The room was however clean and nicely ,newly decorated.
So I had booked over 6 months in advance, I had also sent 2 meesages saying that I would be arriving at the airport around 0130, so would arrive at the hotel in the early morning. I did not get any reply from the hotel, when I arrived I was told that my room had been rented, not on that night but sometime before. I had to find another hotel which I then had to pay for at 0400 in the morning, it took about an hour and 6 hotels before I found somewhere. Book here at your own risk

The hotel building is old but the company are renovating it. Its in a dusty backstreet but its a perfect location to reach Giza plateau. I saw Great Sphinx from my window! The breakfast was wonderful. The staff make this place friendly and comfortable and took great care with my request to have a tour driver for an afternoon. Because my transfer was flawed I was upgraded to a lovely room with spa bathtub. It was clean and cosy. Staff are amazing. I recommend this hotel if you want to see the pyramids. There was street noise but I learned it was from a party at the plateau restaurant where fireworks were set off. So this was unavoidable. I think hotel directions need improved so taxis can better find the building. I would stay again.

Amazing Staffs, they do their best, going above and beyond to make sure you are well taking care of.
Hotel is on 3rd floor. No lift if you need one. Sitting by rooftops and having magnificent view of pyramids and every night can watch the sound and light from the there.
Bathroom and shower was the weakness of property.
Property is on the unsafe area of town. At nights lots of street dogs barking if you have problem falling asleep. But the access to pyramids is just perfect. They drivers and tours are absolutely responsible too.
Many thanks to Mr. Mahmoud to be so patient and taking us every single places we wished for without any issues. He does not speak English though.
Non è un Hotel. Si trova in un palazzo dove ad ogni piano hanno trasformato gli appartamenti in hotel con tre/quattro stanze e l’ingresso in una specie di reception. All’ultimo piano, in terrazza servivano la colazione di tutti gli “alberghi” del palazzo.
Siamo stati accolti da un tizio che si è preoccupato di venderci dei tour anche se era oltre mezzanotte. Ci hanno messo in una stanza che non era nemmeno nell’albergo scelto e la stanza era fredda senza riscaldamento. Notte pessima. Il giorno dopo, dopo le nostre lamentele, ci hanno spostato nell’albergo prenotato, ma era un accozzaglia di micro alberghi nello stesso palazzo. Quindi nonostante la buona volontà delle persone che lavorano lì dentro, i proprietari della struttura sono consapevoli di quello che sembra una truffa vera e propria.
Non vale i soldi che chiedono, ti senti il solito turista spennato.
