"Affordable stay
The price is great and the location couldn’t be better. Still, travellers should note that the hotel is quite basic — the furniture is old, Wi-Fi is also inconsistent. If you value price and location more than comfort, this might work for you."

Friendly staff and incredibly clean facility. 10/10 - Better than spaces that cost 6 times the daily rate. Bathroom not attached, but two available and VERY clean with amenities. Was very happy with this stay.

Gamal and the team are just amazing. It needs more more upgrade. Specially. The sofas. There were just dirty. The beds were comfy. Best room 102 . Dont take 107. The bathroom is really small.
The outside is really dusty. Kids run to you to ask you for money and follow you all the way.
Dnt trust people from outside to help you get to the pyramids. Since they are egyptian. They dnt pay to enter to the pyramids. They will give their fare and you wont understand it because it is in arabic.

An absolute standout stay! The entire property is sparkling clean, modern, and relaxing. Check-in was effortless, the bed was ultra-comfortable, and the Wi-Fi and amenities worked without a hitch. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more enjoyable experience—10/10 recommendation!

The owner made sure that his guests felt welcome and comfortable. Was helpful in arranging tours and transportation. The outside of the building is average, but the room was very clean. It was an excellent deal for the money spent.

I am in love with this place!! The staff is the best I’ve seen!! So friendly, attentive, professional!! I was referred to as Mr. Adam and if I asked for anything, it was brought to my room!
The Tour Manager, Gamel, is the hardest working man I have ever met!! He would personally handle any situations that came up. My wife and I had a last minute idea of a tour and Mr. Gamel was calling his people at midnight to ensure our tour was ready!! Truly a great person!!

I had a great stay at the Pyramids Lounge.
Ehab and Mohamad were extremely helpful in setting up tours of the pyramids, sakara/dashour and Alexandria.
I would have been totally lost without them arranging everything. It was safe and informative and easy for me.
I even left a bag of mine in the taxi from the airport to the hotel and Ehab was able to help me retrieve it! Really saved a disaster there.
Would definitely recommend, price is great and the view of the pyramids during breakfast...

There was no internet in the rooms. The location was excellent. It was quiet and close to the pyramids. The view from the rooftop restaurant was stunning!
