The hotel was a Guest House and nit a hotel. It was right beside the Pyrmids of Giza but very far away from evrything else. It was not on a main road and not accessable by car. The staff where nice and the room clean but the bed was rock solid. All night the prayers over the loud speakers kept me awake. During the day baning that shooke the whole room . You simpley couldn't get a good nights sleep.

As a single female traveller it was nice staying at a place run by women, it made me feel extra safe. I found it easy and safe to get to with it also being walking distance to the pryamids. Let's not forget the amazing view of the pryamids whilst having breakfast. I will definitely return to this hotel!

Location: 10 min walk from the pyramids' entrance & a very short ride to the new museum. Plenty of uber and other ride share options; it is close to the express road when you want to go to other parts of Cairo. You can see the three big pyramids from the rooftop. The place is very clean and secure; you get a key to the main building entrance in addition to your room/suite. Interestingly the majority of hotels in the area are apartment buildings turned into hotels, which gives it a personalized feel as opposed to massive hotel chain buildings. The main entrance to building is hidden from the main road: you have to walk a narrow alley of about 50 m ( a bit of an inconvenience checking in and out if you have big luggage pieces as most vehicles cannot enter). The best part about the place is the staff! I fully agree with a previous reviewer who felt extra safe as a female traveling alone staying in a place run by women. Very nice, courteous & professional staff, make a delicious Egyptian breakfast to order and delivered to your room or to the rooftop if you prefer. Since we stayed 6 nights, we were offered a free ride from the airport.

家族経営のアットホームなホテル(日本の民宿みたいな感じ)です。お部屋はとても広かったです。Wi-Fiは色々と試しましたが、ほぼ利用できませんでした。利用したお部屋のシャワーとトイレが一体となっており、便器に座りながらシャワーを浴びました。シャワーを浴びるとトイレが水浸しになります。初めての経験だったので驚きましたが、東南アジアの極小ホテルなどで採用されているそうです。他のお部屋は違う仕様みたいなので、シャワとトイレが一体となっているか調べて、適したお部屋を予約するのがいいと思います。お部屋のバルコニーからピラミッドが見えるのと、屋上から眺めるピラミッドの景色は最高です。近くに飲食店や商店などたくさんあるのと、徒歩でスフィンクス側の入口まで行けるので立地は良かったです。
