This property has ten-star rating from me. Fromand his family are such wonderful people. The hotel is modern, clean, and the rooms are spacious. The museum's view is excellent because it includes the pyramids. They offer a great view to capture those precious moments and a superb breakfast on the terrace.

Ali was an incredible host. I stayed here on a recent trip to see the Pyramids in Giza on July 21, 2024. I landed late from Luxor and stayed here overnight to see the Giza complex.
The area is a bit hidden away, but very much in proximity to the pyramids (5 minute drive and 60-100 EGP). I am an international traveler and Ali contacted me on WhatsApp to ensure my arrival time.
The room far surpassed expectations. It was safe, clean, and seemed totally renovated. It was the best sleep I had in Egypt. The outside area of the hotel may leave you a bit nervous, but trust me once you arrival, you will love the room and hospitality.
Great value for the money and an excellent host.

AVOID this SCAM place! I had a CONFIRMED reservation (4 nights nov 7-11) from Expedi and I arrived from airport very late (after 03:00) the owner tried to demand more money! He said the price I booked was too low, and wanted more or I had to leave. I showed him the confirmed reservation and he said he doesn't accept it! He set the price himself but wouldn't accept it.
Tried to trick me to cancel reservation myself, which would mean I would Not get a refund. Luckily, I still had a driver to take me around to locate a better place. Avoid any headaches and DO NOT stay here. Photos are from just outside entrance and it's very dirty and scary area! Trusted Traveler from Canada.
