"This is a great budget hotel for the price. Note you pay for food and drink at 1st world hotel prices, so plan accordingly. Housekeeping is extra and upon request. However, it has the best view of the Spinx and pyramids and the gate to the Giza complex is a short 5-minute walk through child hawkers selling Knick knacks and tour touters selling packages. Everyone is trying to sell you something so prepare yourself for that too. Ask the hotel manager Ahmed to make some tour arrangements for you but go to GetYourGuide first to get a sense of the prices. We had a great guide through the hotel, Islam, very knowledgeable and charismatic. He’s well travelled too so can draw lots of comparisons for you. We went to the bazaar in old Cairo and then to the Grand Museum. Timed everything well. The hotel itself is very clean but the street itself has camels going up and down all day and there is a couple local butchers nearby with live chickens. Remember you’re not in Kansas anymore! Meat doesn’t come on styrofoam trays and camels are live animals! Go to the main street to find sodas and snacks. The seller next door to the hotel has steep foreigner prices. Regarding some of the lower ratings you will find on the hotel, I think people had some unrealistic expectations for a budget travel hotel. It’s clean, safe, and the AC works fantastic. But manage your expectations for the price you pay, be realistic. And smile at the staff, they are kind people. "

"I had an amazing time and excellent service hear being so close to the pyramids was beautiful. Although very busy area it was a great stay. I would only recommend to stay around this area if you want to see the pyramids and sphinx however not any longer than a couple of days as the area is not yet properly developed. We went to Luxor after Cairo. "

"The staff are the absolute best. You will not find a better place to stay in the area. You dont need to find tour guides the hotel can provide you and tour family with everything you could possibly want or need. The owner is amazing, I felt like i stayed with family. Please dont waste time with other hotels in the area this is the only one you will want to stay at."

"great staff people are so kind"

"If you want enjoy the pyramids , it is the best place !!! The rooftop resrsurabt is a Gen ❤️‍🔥"

"I have taken 7 different groups to Cairo and have stayed in 4 different hotels across from the Pyramids. I have found my favorite! Wont look anywhere else when I bring teams back. The staff is excellent and NOT pushy! We arrived at 4am and there were workers there to happily get our bags to our rooms. "

"Love this hotel, great staff and close to the pyramids. "
