“Exceeded all Expectrations”

After reading reviews on here we decided to forfeit the quality of the hotel to get the pyramid view. it turns out we forfeited nothing, with the hotel being worthy of all its 5 starts. the room was new and fresh, the staff very attentive and helpful and the pool and surroundings was awesome. IF i could pick fault it was because we only stayed 2 nights, another 1 or maybe 2 would have capped the stay nicely

“Great hotel, and great view”

This was a great hotel located in Giza, right next to the Pyramids of Giza. Its about 30-40 mins walk from the hotel to the pyramids, but only 5-10 mins by car. We travelled mostly by the Hertz service located inside the hotel. Almost double the price of local cabs, but all were AC, which in the 38-42 degrees is well worth it. They have vegetarian choices in the 4-5 restaurants inside the hotel, but we had been through them all by the time we left (1 week). Pool area was fantastic, they've even go a mini-waterfall (though it was under maintenance when we were there). All in all, great hotel, good staff. Take your mosquito repellants with you though, it will help during the nights.

“trust in this hotel when going to egypt”

well after reading the reviews of some of the guests i was expecting a not so great hotel. But i loved this hotel the food was great the staff great and helpful. the stores inside the hotel were better then outside in price and quality. if you make phone calls home buy a cell and minutes instead of using the hotel room phone you will save a bundle.

“Great Hotel, Fantastic Staff.”

I was concerned abit when I had read some reviews of this hotel but was plesantly suprised. The hotel was in excellent and the staff on the ball. The staff of the hotel went out of their way to ensure our stay was pleasurable. Even remembering our dining and beverage favorites and making sure that extra coffee or favorite sweets were at the table for our family. They were able to provide us timely updates of the political situation and guide us to the best routes to various sites around Cairo. With their help we were able to see all the major sites around Cairo without incident. We were staying in the new wing and the room was excellent and the view of the Pyramids was wonderful from the window. Our room was wonderful and the bathroom was spacious. The staff were constantly making sure the hotel was clean and neat. Our favorite area was the Citrus Area, where one could have a casual meal while seeing the Pyramids and the pool. If back in Egpyt we will definately stay here again.

The pool is not heated, but as it was hot anyways, the pool was ok, in the afternoons. Otheriwse the hotel was very good.

“Le Meridien”

It was super! Spectacular views of the pyramids. Gave us great advice and helped out on booking all sorts of day trips to see the sights. We really enjoyed this hotel, was fully booked when we arrived but they managed to find us an alternative type of accommodation which actually suited us better, than what we had booked. Best location to stay if doing a short trip to Egypt as you can enjoy the pyramids all the time and not just when you do the tour. We would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Egypt.

“Perfect for Pyramids but would not recommend for Cairo city”

I came to this hotel with minimal expectations as generally 5 stars in Cairo don't have amazing reviews. This hotel is VERY close to the pyramids of Giza. It is a 5 star but it does look a bit dated in certain places, although saying that it is very well maintained. Overall, we spent very little time in the hotel as we were out and about as we enjoy sightseeing. If that is the sort of stay you will have, you should book this hotel. Im happy to recommend this for the pyramids as it saves u a lot of commute and the hotel is very comfortable. If, however, you want to cover Cairo city i.e. sites such as Egyptian museum, then book something in downtown as Cairo is a massive city and this place is a VERY long distance from the airport and from downtown too.

“Great for one or two days.”

Yes for a day or two if they want to be next to the Pyramids, after, if you are more days in Cairo I would move to a more central location. The view is fun, but then if you want to go to other areas it takes some time because of the trafic.

“Good location”

The strong points are the location and the service; the rest was OK

“Positives and Negatives”

The location with a view of the Pyramids was fabulous.The variety of restaurants, choices of food and prices were also great. The lobby, shops and outdoor pool were also fine. The problems were that the hotel corridors where the rooms were weren't clean. People left bags of garbage outside their rooms at night and they were still there in the morning. The carpet in the hallways was fraying and needed to be vacuumed. In addition, the hallways weren't air conditioned! Our room was fine but the furniture needed to be upgraded. The most unusual part of the hotel stay was that at ten or so in the evening for the three nights we were there, Moslem weddings were going on in the lobby. Very,very loud music with drums goes on for about 40 minutes for each of the two or three couples getting married. Since most of the bars, coffee bars and snack bars are located in the lobby area, it made it next to impossible to have a bite to eat or a night cap.
