Giza Pyramids Inn

Dirty, room not clean. The walls are so thin we hear all the noise and from outside. I got to say the staff from the roof top is really nice.

Beautiful rooftop view of tbe pyramids. Nice and helpful staff, made me feel safe as a female solo traveler. Room is small and as to be expected for the price. If you're looking for a great rooftop to see pyramids then that is the highlight of amenities. The staff were nice and helpful with recommendations.

Hotel is clean and comfortable. We got upgraded to a room that has the view of pyramids. Thank you!

AVIOD AT ALL COST. Book only if you want to ruin you vacation. These people are big cheaters and looting people of there money. Even if you decide to take a risk and book a room just execting a good view of pyramids, never ever prepay for the room else you will be left at the mercy of the hotel. I ignored the warning by some other previous travelled reviews and paid the price. This is highly overrated and overpriced inn (not a hotel). I booked a luxury room here with multiple beds looking directly at the pyramids for 200 USD months in advance. Also I was in touch with the owner and he confirmed me that the room is exactly what I booked for. But to my horror when I landed at hotel I was told that the room is assigned to someone else and we are offered a smaller room with side view of pyramids, not direct room what I booked for and he confirmed also. The room was small and filthy. Then he offered me 2 rooms on the roof and told they will be ready in an hour, when I told I want to see the rooms he resisted but on my insistence they shwoed me the rooms. i was taken aback to see that these we not even guest rooms, these were servan tquarters which he wanted to clean and settle me there. I was furious. Luckily I was with a local guide and he helped me in arguing with the owner, after lot of arguments and pursuing he settled me in a nearby hotel but still the view was not good as I booked initially. It spoiled my whole experience as I was visualizing Pyramids view from that room I booked for months in advance but finally it was not to be. So these poeple for a small anmount of gain can ruin your whole journey which you have been planning for months and probably once in a lifetime. They are doing a grave injustice to the wonerful people of Egypt as these experiences spoils the name of whole country, but who cares he would have gained few dollars by selling my room at a higher price to someone else. Without local guide I would have been at the mercy of the owner. Initially they were not allowing my guide to go with me in the room as this probably was a regular incident and they anticipated this. Luckily my guide forced his way into the room. Those plannig a trip to Egypt specialy with family, PLEASE make sure you have a local guide with you all the time else you will ruin your vacation, this is true without exceptions, however smart you think you are, you will fail in Egypt.

We stayed 1 night: USD 136 for a "deluxe" double room with view. Almost double the price of competitors with similar view. For convenience, we arranged airport pickup through the hotel (USD 25 - more than Uber), and this was still fine. However, the red flags started during our check-in. Red flag #1: Before our trip, we booked a day tour (Pyramids + Cairo Museum) through the hotel. We emailed the hotel to check if the guide can drop us at Cairo train station (just a 10 mins drive from the Museum) after the tour, and they said yes. During check-in however, the owner wanted to charge us extra USD 25 for this "extra service", which was NOT highlighted to us upfront at all. After I told him the station is literally just 10 mins drive from the Museum (instead of having to drive us 1 hour back to the hotel), he made up some bs about leaving luggage in the car, and still charged us USD 15. Red flag #2: The owner was extremely eager to change USD into EGP for us. So that we would change more money with him, he blatantly lied to us that all attractions ONLY accept EGP in CASH, but not to worry, as he can change EGP for us at official market rates (1 USD: 30 EGP). What a good deal, right? However, we found out the next day that all attractions only accept CREDIT CARDS, and so we were stuck with excess EGP cash. It gets better: the next day while waiting for our guide, the porter offered to change 1 USD: 40 EGP for us, which we declined. It was all rather puzzling, until we later learnt from other tourists that there is actually a black market rate (just google it) where they can change 1 USD: 50 EGP!! Red flag #3: Speaking of attractions, the day tour did NOT include any entrance fees, and we had to pay everything ourselves (with credit card, of course). Again, this was NOT highlighted to us upfront at all. Perhaps the biggest red flag is that after I posted this exact review on Book**g[dot]com (where I booked the hotel), they immediately removed the listing and have re-listed it with just a few reviews (ALL WITH PERFECT 10 SCORES, SURPRISE SURPRISE). You be the judge.
