    Where do I start? These people treated us like family. That's priceless to me! Comfortable, clean, and in front of the pyramid, beautiful. Thank you all for treating us so well. We'll be back soon. We'll miss you❤️

    It’s not the property, the property was safe clean and comfortable, the surrounding area is just horrible, between the touts and the general chaos of Egypt everyone around the area is looking to take from you, kids begging then getting annoyed when you don’t give them 5 pounds to the touts who want 10 dollars for shaking your hand. Take advantage of the restaurant and terrace because besides the actual Pyramids that whole area is a cesspit.

    Location to the pyramids, the rooms were spacious and comfortable the bathroom was excellent, the beautiful terrace for just looking in marvel at the Pyramids, I can’t fault the property

    First time in Egypt and was greeted with great hospitality from our hosts Sherif and his family. Genuine people who were really helpful with everything. If you needed anything like a driver for a day that would be arranged for a fair price. Also a really nice view of the pyramids and sphinx. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the hotel back home!

    We were happy with everything!

    We had the best time at the hotel!!! Sheriff and his family took good care of us. We felt quite safe and secure. He offers nice and affordable tours which made it very easy for us as a family as we always had someone with us who could guide us and communicate with others in their home language. The hotel is clean and affordable We was able to enjoy the beautiful pyramids as well as Cairo. The view from the hotel is very beautiful and the entrance to the pyramids is only a few meters away. In the same building they have a fantastic perfume shop with lovely scents and they also have beautiful paintings for sale on the first floor. We are super happy with our stay and highly recommend it!

    I enjoyed a nice stay here for two nights. The owner Sherif and his family were super welcoming and went above and beyond for guests. He helped arrange reliable tours with huge flexibility. I really appreciate their hospitality and efforts to make my stay in Cairo relaxed and comfortable as a solo female. The location is perfect for pyramid visits as it is close to the entrance with several restaurants around. The view on the terrace overlooking Sphinx and pyramids is amazing. I would highly recommend it to travellers for the pyramids!

    Maybe the pillows, it would be nice to have a normal pillow instead of a big one, but it was nice.

    Everything was very nice. Sherif, the owner, worried about us from the very first minute. He made sure we were okay at any time, and he even invited us to have dinner. The place was very good overall, good rooms and very hygienic. The views were astonishing from the hotel roof. Definitely recommended.

    [ Don't Book Tour With Host ] [ Same money, you deserve a better one ] Here is not a hotel. It is more like Airbnb. If we are talking about the room, it is ok. However, if for the total experience, not very well. I booked the tour with the host, $220 USD, got very poor quality tour, especially the first day. We visited the pyramid and did the camel ride and some spot. 1. Camel ride : He will try to make you happy but not really and then bring you to the side before finish and asking money. Feel rude and not safe which force you to give him money, cause you were on his camel. 2. Spot sightseeing : It should have tour guide always with me and explain the history. Different spot has different tour guide and the tour guide isn't well organized. I booked the tour month ago and the tour guide seems just be noticed a day before and didn't know where should he take me to...... One tour guide even said the day is too hot, let me view museum by myself. What is that? 3. During the tour, they always try to miss leading you and always said your choice. I paid for the tour, the tour should has the thing you promised. Tour guide be my side is the deal, not like making decision in last minute and try to minimize the tour time. 4. When the tour finished, no matter how tired you are, he will bring you to "his shop" for shopping papyrus. Really annoying even you refused to go.

    The hotel is just right in front the pyramid area, the view is fantastic.

    This is not exactly about the property itself, but the only disadvantage was the fact that camels and horses were parked on the street in front leaving a heavy smell around. Again, not negative about the property, but it impacts.

    Superb view of the pyramids. Quiet and relaxing. Amazing host!!!! Very kind staff, all very helpful even after our trip ended. Careful and considerate. Great breakfast, and all help is quick and in detail.

    Like a lot of places in Giza, this place is exceedingly scruffy. The street outside the accommodation is used by horses and camels so expect to have to dodge lots of poo and smells. The stairwell to the rooms is filthy and with broken tiles. The bathroom is badly designed so the water from the shower drains towards the toilet and the floor never dries out.

    It's good value for money and the location is terrific with a view of the pyramids from the rooftop. Sharif spoke good English and helped arrange a taxi to pick me up at the airport to drive me to the accommodation which made arrival easier. I'm sure he would have been very helpful had I needed tours or other assistance, but I was only staying for a short time while en route to the black and white deserts.

    Location, location, location! Sherif is an exceptional host and met all our needs. Easy check-in and check-out. Sherif arranged all our tours and provided all the information we needed to make our stay memorable. This is our second time staying with him and we will definitely return! And don't forget to visit his perfume and papyrus shops!

    The room is fairly basic and the tap in our room was loose but that’s a small price to pay for the benefits. I would stay there again.

    This is a room with access to a shared kitchen with coffee and tea provided. It is very close to the Sphinx gate to the pyramids and very close to the sound and light show. That said, most of the show can be viewed from the rooftop. The owner is very helpful with organising transfers and trips.

    The water heater was not working. They tried to fix it, but for two days, it didn't work. The road right in front of the place has hundreds of camels assembled there every morning. Due to the animal droppings, you need to tread carefully when you walk around, and you need to accept/put up with the smell around when you get out.

    The great view from its roof terrace.

    Sherif is a great businessman that understands what western customers need, he offers few extra services but is not pushy about it. He is able to organise anything travel related, just ask. I was pleasantly surprise and had a great first night into my Egypt trip. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. And I made some awesome pictures from the rooftop.
