    The place is difficult to find and it's awkward that it is at the last floor of a block of private apartments. Although if you forget the shock of the building..the hotel is much much better than many around.

    Definitely a very comfortable bed and a room that looks like a nice modern hotel room. The balcony is also very nice. Family vibe and genuinely nice people in the stuff.

    The hotel needs to improve the signal so taxidrivers know where it is, we had quite an issue the second day and it almost costs us to miss the Tutankhamun exhibition experience.

    The views to the Pyramids and the Grand Museum are amazing, very nice balconies, the beds super comfy, big TV, everything clean, and really nice staff, very helpful all of them

    The address shown on the booking is wrong. We had problems finding the apartment. It should be better explained on the page how to get to the apartment. The building is in bad condition, but the apartments are located on top of the building. The apartments are modernly furnished.

    Decent host. Delicious breakfast with a view of the pyramids. (Included in the price). The owner offers guided tours which are ok.

    The building itself is in a terrible condition. I haven’t been inside such a poorly maintained building before. It is a bit scary when you enter. The elevator is in terrible condition. The corridors, the light switches, the lights, everything is too old and look dirty. The guest house has been totally renovated but still it is a part of an ugly bad maintained building. The room is too small, one of the two beds actually is next to a wall. There is no room for the luggage. The window net for the mosquitoes torn up. Breakfast (delicious and fresh served by the always polite mr. Youssef) is served inside the room. There is no public dining outside the rooms. For launch and dinner there is a small catalog to order but the choices are poor and the prices like going to a restaurant. I advise you to order from takeout on your own. The area has nothing in close walking distance apart from the museum. In the future I am sure that everything will change but now going outside offers nothing. Nothing to grab a bite, nowhere to drink coffee, to buy something, to walk in a park or anything else to see apart from the GEM. There is no transportation public or private in close distance. In order to go anywhere you have to call for Uber or taxi which during Ramadan period is impossible in the evening. You actually feel trapped inside at the evenings during Ramadan. If it weren’t for the problem solver Miss Asma we would have lost very precious time as tourists trapped inside. Last but no least there is too much noise from traffic all day and night and even with closed windows it is impossible to sleep without earplugs! Every single second you hear endless honking for no reason making sleeping hell! The owner of the guest house would have too many complaints if it weren’t for his amazing personnel making such a difference for the scale in favour of our judgment! The guest house on its own is 5 out of ten

    There are two major factors that made our stay pleasant. The first one is the distance from GEM and the view from the balcony of the GEM and the pyramids. We really enjoyed spending time at our balcony and having the museum at walking distance! The neighbourhood is safe with mostly families living in the building. All the neighbours were polite and friendly. They also have stray dogs outside the building that are friendly and make you feel safe walking outside. The second factor was the personnel of the guest house. Rarely a businessman can find people working for him to be so knowledgeable of their post, so willing to find solutions to any problem without hesitation, so eager to help, so kind and pleasant. Everyone working at the guest house cared like we were guests at their own home. They were always present taking care of any need. We wish to specially thank Asma for being far more professional than anyone could expect. That woman is a real treasure! Beautiful inside and out! Clever, polite and going the extra mile to keep everyone happy! We hope that her hard work is appreciated! If it weren’t for Asma and her brother Youseff apart from a nice view the guest house would’ve offered much. Mr. Youseff is literally always there. Early in the morning, late at night, bringing breakfast, Youseff greets you always with a smile! Whatever you need mr. Youseff is the answer! The guest house is alive and working because of these people, Asma and Youseff! We would like to take this opportunity to wish them both the best in their life! Our rate for personnel is 11 out of ten ♥️

    It was hard to find (my local driver couldn’t even find it right away) and takes a small adventure through the building to get to your room, but super worth it! And they carried my bags the whole way too.

    The view of the pyramids from the cute, glass balcony was incredible! The bed was soooo comfortable as was the shower. The room was beautifully furnished. The staff were wonderful. They took such great care of me; very kind and attentive. And the food was so good! I purchased dinner and the breakfast was complimentary -both excellent. I would 100% stay there again.

    The guest house is ok, comfortable. Asmaa and Yousef are the big differential of this place, they made my trip to Cairo much pleasant and safe. They did everything to help, they cared about every detail and helped me with local tips. They are really friendly and I would recommend the place just because of them.

    We arrived late at night, and the guest house is on the 10th floor of an old block of flats. There was not a sign at the entrance of the building indicating the guesthouse and the elevator was in bad condition. The windows were not sound proof and there was a lot of noise coming into the room from outside.

    Youssef is one of the best receptionists ever! The view from the room with balconies is breathtaking. The complimentary taxi services.

    The building itself isn’t nice, but the guest house is located on the top of the building. The noise at night was exceptionally loud, and I’ve lived in NYC and Philly

    I loved the hosts, they prepared breakfast for us each morning and went out of their way to get me a delicious cake for my birthday. The balcony and the view were perfect!

    The neighborhood didn’t feel very safe and there was no place to go around. We had to use taxi every time we needed to get somewhere. The room was noisy due to window glass which was making a sound every time the wind blew. Also there are 2 big roads around the building with busy traffic day and night. One time we saw a rat running behind the window.

    Nice pyramids view, clean room, comfortable beds. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They arranged a taxi for us and a day trip to Dahshur and Saqqara which was amazing.
