    The purpose of this hotel is to be directly in front of the Pyramids with an amazing view. It absolutely delivers on this. There isn't really a restaurant or bar or anything (there is a breakfast), but if your goal is wake up to a view of the Pyramids this place absolutely delivers at an amazing price. The rooftop view is also incredible. There are other restaurants (and a bar) nearby, but if your goal is to have a once in a lifetime view of the Pyramids from your room this is spectacular. Rooms are quite basic and there is no real restaurant, but this was not a downside for me - we got exactly what we were looking for and everything else you might want is nearby. Fantastic once in a lifetime stay.

    The sphinx is staring right at you when you look out your window. You can not get closer to the pyramids It is loud but being right next to the pyramids it’s just going to be loud, they provide earplugs though. Giza is not the cleanest and is one of the poorer parts of town.

    Good location Very upsetting experience with one staff member. At checkout 10 am, because there was no elevator, I had to carry my heavy luggage downstairs by myself. The suitcase made some noise when touching the stairs, which was hard to avoid. However, one older lady staff member kept complaining that I was making too much noise. I was wearing slippers and she said my footsteps were too loud ,other people were sleeping. She repeated this to me three times and also complained about me to another staff member in front of me. What made it feel worse was that she was very friendly to two white guests, but treated me very differently. I found lots of posts indicated they have rude staffs on Chinese social media and I know why now. It felt disrespectful and discriminatory.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Unbeatable location! Great familiar environment. Helpful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. The terrace could be used more as a social area. Maybe in the summer they do I don’t know. Everything else was incredible.

    Perfect location, clean room, good value for money. The breakfast can be taken to the rooftop with amazing pyramid view. Simple room with beautiful view of the Great Pyramids.

    Nothing. I didn’t stay. I was outside the hotel for 2hours. No one answered the phone number provided. Rang the bell severally. After waiting for 2hrs with the taxi guy,someone finally answered the bell. He was asleep. The building smelled terrible. Dilapidated. I paid for a room with the view. I was offered a hostel room with 3beds. Nothing about it is good. The pictures on Booking is fake!!!!! Guardian Guest house looked nothing close to the pictures. It’s a shame that Booking will allow such scam to happen on their site. I demand a refund. I was scammed with fake pictures. Everything. The ofour. The old dilapidated building of hostel. Everything is a mess!!!!!

    The location is perfect, the staff friendly and facility was clean. Great value. Construction outside, which isn't anyone's fault!

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    It has an excellent view of the Giza pyramids. The staff were so very helpful and helped me arrange a driver to Saqqara , Muslim area and the Citadel. I had a short time to see the sites in Cairo and this helped tremendously with logistics. There is construction across the street. Mahmoud told me it was construction from the government. There is not much the hotel can do about this but just bring good earplugs.

    All went good.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    The location was perfect and the view was magnificent. The bathroom was also great too. Lack of wifi

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    The view was amazing, especially from the terrace, and the hotel was very convenient overall. The place offers excellent value for money if you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of luxury and comfort in exchange for an unbeatable view of the pyramids. The hospitality was outstanding: Mohamed and his family took great care of us from start to finish, with a level of kindness and attentiveness that truly makes the difference. There’s no restaurant on-site, so you’ll need to eat out or order food.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Location is very good-2 minutes walk to Giza pyramids. The rooftop right in front of pyramids and Sphinx!
