Good for a night

It's fine for a night if you're only there to see the pyramids. The area is not great, but if you only stay at the hotel and eat at the rooftop restaurant(which has beautiful views) then I'd recommend it.

Views were phenomenal. Price was very affordable. Quality was average and the in-hotel construction all day was frustrating (with the addition of Giza complex construction all night it made it tough). We missed the light show because of misinformation on which language would be shown. But the location probably made it worth all the hassles and noise.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the entire property—everything was spotless and well-maintained. I also felt very safe throughout my stay, which gave me great peace of mind, especially as a traveler. One of the absolute highlights was the incredible view of the pyramids—truly breathtaking and something I’ll never forget. The rooftop area was perfect for relaxing, with delicious food, attentive service, and a panoramic view that made every meal feel special. Breakfast was also exceptional, with a generous and flavorful spread that kept me going for the day. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate any requests I had—they were always friendly, helpful, and genuinely cared about making my stay enjoyable. Considering all these perks, I found the price to be more than fair for such a memorable and comfortable experience. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo who wants a clean, safe, and welcoming place with unbeatable views of the pyramids!

Great location next to the Pyramids. Wonderful room with a fantastic view. The breakfast was delicious. The downside was that they were remodeling and it was very noisy starting early in the morning. The elevator wasn’t available near our room.

I stayed at this hotel when I was in Giza. Upon checking in this place took care of me. They organized a driver , guide for my excursions , ran my luggage up to my room with a breeze. The view from the lever 700 restaurant was a direct view of the pyramids which was amazing. The hotel was doing some renovating while I was there but very understandable. Overall great place and I would recommend staying there. I didn’t wonder around the areas outside at night as it was too busy with street vendors and I didn’t want the hassle. I enjoyed just having a drink and enjoying the view which is exceptional. Finally the hotel organized airport transportation for me and the driver was early. Great Hotel

The hotel has a great view of the pyramids; however, there is construction near by and also repairs inside. We tried to take nap to recover from a long flight but is was impossible. We are a couple, so we requested a double bed with a pyramid view and we got twin beds instead. They moved us to a room with a full bed with zero view ( like a prison) and got a $25 credit. We spent $600 in activities and still got terrible rooms. The buffet had flies on some of the food, so we had no desire to eat. Thankfully our guide and driver were very good and also the staff. But the hotel leaves a lot to be desired, one bathroom did not a a shower curtain and the other two bathrooms were badly designed so all the water was around the toilet. There must be better options in the area.

All in all I loved being there. The property, two buildings put together, is a bit problematic. At one point both elevators were down, one of them for the duration of the stay. A couple of other building issues arose but were quickly resolved by the staff. The staff was exceptionally attentive and friendly. Deena at the front desk was terrific. The Inn’s proximity to the necropolis is far and away the best part. The view was the terrace could not be beat. You might treat yourself to a Junior Suite where you wake up with the pyramids literally at your feet. The view made everything all right again.
