Horizon Pyramids Hotel Reviews

I stayed at the Horizon Pyramids Hotel for three nights. I had just come back from a month in Abydos doing some research and needed a cheap hotel in Cairo before catching my flight home. I found that the Horizon hotel was pretty good for the price that I paid for it. The rooms were a tad run down and unclean, and I felt the need to wear flip flops in the shower, but other than that I felt that the rooms were very comfortable. My bed was just two single beds pushed together, which isn't a huge deal. The TV wasn't working very well and most of the channels were static-y. The only English shows that played were CSI: Miami, NCIS, Top Gear and WWE Raw, which would repeat throughout the day. The one channel that played English movies stopped working the second day I was there. The internet was a bit slow, but worked for my purposes. As with some of the other reviewers, make sure that you ask for a room facing away from the street if noise bothers you. The food at the hotel was great! They had some very delicious pastries at the breakfast buffet and the room service was excellent.

I had 2 main problems in this hotel: First problem was the parking, with my booking I checked that the parking is for free, when I arrived there I figured out that the hotel doesn't have a designated parking though they reserved the lane in front of the hotel and they let some thugs to control it, the thugs controlling the parking asked for 20 EGP per day (2 Euros per day) which is too much compared to the living standard in Egypt, and when I refused to pay because my booking includes a free parking the thugs threatened me to scratch or to hit or to steal my car, I talked to the hotel manager and he informed me that they don't own the parking rather they rented it to the thugs, I told him it is not my problem I have a booking including parking, then he told me you may pay to the thugs if you want, and later the thugs annoyed me everyday until I decided to park somewhere else. Second problem was that they have a rule not allowing visitors in the rooms, which is not mentioned in the booking conditions, I was there with my mum in one room and my fiancee and her mum in another room, we sat together in one room to chat and eat and watch TV, 2 days latter the hotel manager told me that I am and my mum not allowed to stay in their room, rather we can meet in hotel lobby or the restaurant and he told me that he had seen us going to my fiancee's room on the camera, like they were watching us, and the security manager in the hotel was impolite. I don't recommend it to anybody.

Bad staff, rooms are small & not very clean. Its not worth the money. I was pleased to check out the next day.

Very friendly staff.came to visit during rammadan. some prtotests at night but i still feel safe and secure.good decent and clean place if you are on a budget.the view from my balcony was breathtaking

Location is brilliant, close to pyramids, nice view balcony, staff very helpful, easy to get around from hotel, 24 hr man service and fast provided , clean, highly recommend

nous sommes arriver en pleine nuit, et on nous a fait payer plein de taxe alors que nous avions déjà reserver et payer a l'avance . nous y somme rester qu'une nuit. et le petit dej devais etre inclus il nous l'on fait payer 12e a la fin

It was a lovely stay, food was great, hope to stay there again

When the hotel staff realise that the rate is not as per season price they put me in uncomfortable and small room and not clean as 4 star hotel

We booked 8 nights, but after only 3 days we decided "to run off" as fastest we can. The rooms are very small, dark and filthy. The carpet had Cigarettes burn marks everywhere and was really sticky....The sheets and blankets were disgusting. There was not enough storage room, so we basically kept all of our clothes in our Bags. Parking was a nightmare...please note, there is NO FREE PARKING for this hotel, even though that this is what they offer, they don't even have a parking lot. You park on the street and get harassed by people "helping" you park but want tips all the time, when you arrive and when you leave. If you don't give money or let them "help you" they start a big fight. My husband is Egyptian, and even he got really, really frustrated. We were not able to use the pool, it was not really clean and there were always men sitting around on the tables smoking and watching. Breakfast was so lala, not international standard, but ok to fill your stomach. We can absolutely NOT recommend this hotel. We did not get any money back, because of us leaving early, but that’s ok, we were not willing to stay any longer. We enjoyed the new hotel very much, where we spend the rest of our vacation. (Soluxe Cairo--rooms and pool fantastic, breakfast not good, but its ok), will stay there again !!!!
