  : Location was very close to the pyramids and had a good view form rooftop and bedroom . Staff in general was very friendly as well .
  : So many scammers around and people trying to take advantage of tourists.This has nothing to do with the hotel, but it’s important to be aware that in Egypt nobody is your friend. Every corner people try to scam you and take money from you so be careful and do not trust anyone. Aways read about the places before you go and try to travel in a group .VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT accept any camel ride or horse ride. Animals are exploited, abused and kept in poor conditions. If you pay for an animal ride you are contributing to their suffering. You can walk around the pyramids without using any animal or guide .We used a guide and was the worst decision as even the guides in Egypt try to take you to places and force you to do things to get commission.Ou guide made us spent extra money and tried to push different things to get more cash. He also told us that was not possible to do the pyramids without a horse and took us to a dodge place to get a horse where they made us pay $110 USD per person , when the correct price should be only $20 USD. But again , you DO NOT need to ride any animal to get around the pyramids.When arranging any tour our going to restaurants , make sure you confirm the price and make them repeat themselves as they like to charge you more once you have finished.I avoided doing things or eating in restaurants because they always try to charge as much as they can get .Good luck

  : The location from the front is great , the location at the back not so pleasant with the horses for the tours agistered at the entry of the hotel .. it’s a bit smelly but ok for a one night stay

  : very good views, direct to the pyramids! and the staff is extremely generous and attentive
  : the hotel is in a horse stable alley which makes it smell extremely bad all the time

Disappointing

  : The view from the room was amazing, bed was comfy. Breakfast was OK.
  : The walls / doors are very thin so you can hear absolutely everything and with people come in/out early and late was very noisy, also there was a roaster right outside the window so impossible to get a late morning.TV didn't workThe water from the shower was not going.Roof top. Very small and basic.

Wonderful
Traveller Type: with friends
  : Owner was very helpful and thoughtful. he upgraded us without any extra charges. Even though the check out was at 12pm, we were waiting for our driver at 8pm, he gave us another room to shower and get ourselves ready. All staffs are nice and offer great service, food was really good too.

  : the view when sitting in the “Restaurant” is amazing.
  : It doesn’t look as beautiful as it looks on the photos. it is not well maintained and not that clean. The breakfast was very disappointing
