Pyramids View Inn

A basic hotel without many amenities or frills that is about as close to the pyramids as you can possibly get. I was in a pyramids view room with balcony (Room 503). The views were amazing from the room and the rooftop observation deck/restaurant. Staff was pleasant. Breakfast was very simple but a good way to start your morning. The shower stall in the bathroom is veeeery small. The only downside is that there isn't much to do in this area aside from the pyramids so I would suggest staying here for a night or two and staying in downtown Cairo for the rest of your trip.

Brilliant location next to the Sphinx and Pyramids at Giza. Relax on the rooftop area sipping a beer while watching the sun set over the pyramids. The sound and light show is an added bonus, no need to pay extra for it, just watch from the rooftop. Rooms are fairly basic, and you will hear drivers who are over fond of using their horns, but that is Egypt. Good showers to wash off the dirt you will accumulate during the day. Simple breakfast. Great place to stay.

Charming Staff and Spectacular Giza Necropolis Views I recently had the opportunity to stay at a hotel near the Giza Necropolis without the typical luxuries but with an extremely gentle staff. While the accommodations may not have been opulent, the experience was made exceptional by the hotel's attentive and hospitable staff, as well as the breathtaking views of the Giza Necropolis. First and foremost, the standout feature of this hotel was the staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine warmth and friendliness. The hotel employees went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their attentiveness and willingness to assist with any request created a welcoming and personalized atmosphere. Whether it was providing recommendations for local attractions or arranging transportation, the staff members were knowledgeable and always ready to help. Despite the hotel lacking luxurious amenities, the rooms were clean, cozy, and adequately equipped with the essentials needed for a comfortable stay. The focus of this establishment seemed to be on providing a comfortable base for exploring the nearby Giza Necropolis rather than extravagant accommodations. Although the rooms may have been simple, they were well-maintained and offered a peaceful retreat after a long day of sightseeing. However, what truly set this hotel apart was its outstanding location and the breathtaking views it offered. The proximity to the Giza Necropolis meant that I could easily access the iconic pyramids, Sphinx, and other ancient wonders within a short distance. Waking up to the sight of these magnificent structures from my hotel room was an absolute delight. The panoramic views of the Giza Necropolis during the day and the enchanting glow of the pyramids at night created a truly unforgettable experience. While the hotel may not offer the lavishness associated with luxury accommodations, its exceptionally gentle staff and the awe-inspiring views of the Giza Necropolis more than make up for it. If you value a warm and welcoming environment, as well as a front-row seat to one of the world's most iconic historical sites, this hotel is an excellent choice. It provides a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the wonders of the Giza Necropolis while being surrounded by a genuinely caring and attentive staff.

I really enjoyed my stay. I had a room with balcony and pyramid view. The room was clean and comfortable. It had very good AC. I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews about the staff. The staff was great to us. They arranged some transportation for us and gave us advice on how to deal with the hagglers outside and Mustafa made sure we were safe when we walked outside. They accompanied us to the pharmacy, helped with our bags. They were amazing. The only bad thing is the noise. It was very loud outside at night. But otherwise it was great. I definitely recommend!

We stayed at Pyramids View inn Bed & Breakfast for 2 nights. We were welcomed very friendly. The room we booked was large, clean and had a wonderful view of the pyramids. Breakfast and dinner were very good, the friendliness of the owner and the employees were outstanding. If we come back to Giza, we will stay at Pyramids View inn Bed & Breakfast again. Thank you for everything :-) Karin+ Klaus

Hotel: I stayed at this hotel in November 2023. It was a very good time and the staff are super friendly. The breakfast was very sufficient and good - you can't complain here. Best wishes go out to Amr Atef and my guide Yehia. I hope we all see each other again sometime and wish the whole hotel a great 2024. Location: Location is right in front of the pyramids. You have a great view and can marvel at the light show for free. It can definitely smell like camel, that's because there is a large, well-used parking lot in front of the hotel. Giza itself is unfortunately a dirty area. It smells like camel everywhere, like horse and camel urine... there are cats and dogs running around everywhere and there are a lot of dubious people who want to take money out of your pocket. Most of the items in the stands are made in China, so that should be taken into account. Simply ignore intrusive people and move on - feel free to be very loud and even shout at the person. Pyramids: The ticket counter is less than 20m from the hotel. Very easy to reach and only affordable with a card. The hotel offers great excursions, a little more expensive than online providers - but you go to great places with great people. There is rubbish everywhere around the pyramids...unfortunately it is very tragic there. Best regards from Germany Alexander L.

There is a strange energy to this place. But I’ll start with the good: I appreciate that some of the staff were ready and willing to help me with airport rides, laundry, and the purchasing of a SIM card. I felt a genuine connection with a few people and for those individuals and interactions I am grateful. Finally, the location really is great and so is the balcony view. The drawbacks: I arrived exhausted and purchased dinner on site. As I did, an employee asked me if I wanted to book a tour for the next day, I politely declined and said ‘I’ll get back to you, once I’m rested’, and he insisted once again to book a tour, which was bothersome. The tours, by the way, are way overpriced, so you should negotiate down if you do choose to book with them. Also, dinner was a generous size but every component was so salty. It was difficult to eat. Over my 4-day stay, the same employee kept calling me his daughter, his sister, to an excessive degree. He amped this up when he tried to sell me various touring services. He also took my hand and kissed it which made me uncomfortable. I love family and community but only when it’s respectfully and authentically grown. Another interaction that I feel compelled to note: I tipped the head chef at breakfast a small bill. He smiled and thanked me, then glanced at the bill as he walked away. His face wrinkled in disgust and he slapped the bill against a nearby table. Others didn’t tip at all, by the way. (No shame or shade on them! That’s not the point. I think you know what my point here is.) Finally, the tour that I went on was good overall, the guide was kind and very informative. I’ll write a separate review for him. But I was not a fan of one of the stops on the tour: Oasis Aromatherapy, I will write a separate review on them as well. The owner is so sneaky and dishonest. I’m giving one star because I don’t want to support this type of network/operation. Many masks worn. Much happening beneath the surface.

5 star view but 1.5-2 star hotel. Very good hospitality and nice staff. Good dinner and breakfast up in the restaurant. They do have Wi-Fi in the rooms but it doesn’t work up on the patio overlooking the pyramids, which is where you want to be. Rooms Basic rooms. Good dark out curtains. Right above the street, slightly noisy during the day. Rooms have AC, but it probably only cooked it to 25C/80F though it said it went down to 20. Room had a balcony but it was noisy over the street. 2 people stayed in the room, but they only gave us one bath towel with three hand towels. Free airport pick up but not drop off.
