This was a really nice hotel, especially given the price. It made it an incredible value in my opinion. The rooms were really nice and the Egyptian theme to the hotel and rooms were a really nice touch, especially when you arrive into Egypt for the first time. The location is also incredibly convenient now, given the new arrangements of the Pyramid complex, because the Pyramid Complex exit is 50 meters from the hotel. This has positives and negatives because it also means the nearby stores are all tourist trap stores and not local stores or restaurants. Luckily though, this hotel's top floor is one of the trendiest and nicest restaurants in Giza, so you don't need to go very far at all to get a good meal. We ate here once for dinner and the food was excellent, though expensive even by USA standards. I also need to mention the airport pickup when we arrived, which didn't go well. They were 45 minutes late and I felt stranded at the airport deciding whether to keep waiting or deal with the airport taxi/uber scammers. Overall, I would 100% stay here again and would recommend this hotel to everyone when they come to Giza.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant, and the location is unbeatable — the pyramids are incredibly close, offering stunning views right from the hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. From the owner to the drivers, everyone provided exceptional service. A special shoutout to Aladdin, the manager, who was extremely helpful with travel recommendations, reservations, and anything we needed during our stay. Aly, one of the drivers, was outstanding — fluent in English, very knowledgeable about the area, and always willing to assist with local navigation and purchases. The breakfast was delicious every morning, and the rooftop views were truly breathtaking. Just a heads-up: be cautious with people outside the hotel, as things can get a bit overwhelming. But once you’re inside, it’s a safe and peaceful haven. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area — it’s a perfect mix of comfort, hospitality, and unforgettable views!

I enjoyed my recent 5 day stay at the Inn. The location is perfect, breakfast was healthy, my room was clean and the hotel was affordable. I envision many improvements to the hotel and area in general. Unfortunately, as a digital nomad, I was unable to work due to the poor Internet. I worked when there was low usage. When the bellman showed me my room, he did not explain how to turn on the hot water on for a shower so I showered in cold. The TV was broken and the assistant did not come to repair it despite saying he would. Also, we had a heat wave so I was working late in the night for the Internet then getting up early and napping around noon. I put my “do not clean” sign up but the assistants came knocking on the door offering fruit or cleaning services. This should be discontinued to honour guests sleeping time. One of the hotel managers also tried to sell a tour that was three times the price you can get online. He enforced his sales pitch upon entry which again is very unprofessional. Despite all these problems it is one of the best options in the area. I hope the management will take my advice seriously and seek to be the best hotel in Giza.

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!
