9.4/10 Exceptional! (12 reviews)

The hotel was extremely clean and well-maintained. The view was absolutely stunning — directly overlooking the Pyramids, which made the stay even more special. The staff were very polite, respectful, and always ready to help. They responded to all our requests immediately and made sure we had everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!
