8.6/10 Excellent! (55 reviews)
Property was being renovated while we were there. Some noise from works during the night. Some parts looked very good but others didn't. Pool was not for swimming in, only for viewing. We weren't given the pool view room that we had booked. Housekeeping didn't change our bedding at all while we were there. Nile cruise organised for us by staff at the hotel was disappointing as we were kept waiting for ages and most of the food was gone by the time we were allowed onto the boat. On the plus side, it was very close to Giza pyramids.

9/10 Wonderful! (7 reviews)
Excellent value for the price! The property was clean and updated and within <10 minute walking distance to the entrance of Giza complex. The room and rooftop have perfect views of the pyramids and the Sphinx. Mohamed, the owner/host was welcoming, approachable and very responsive to questions and concerns. Breakfast was so worth it, tasty and generous. Laundy service was a huge plus! I booked most tours through the hotel. So much cheaper than the ones I found online. Even though the property is in Giza, it is still very accessible to all that Cairo/Greater Cairo has to offer.

The gardens in front of the entrance are spectacular. There are plastic protected viewing areas in the floor so you can see how the church suspends.

Read up on the history of the surrounding churches there before you visit. You will appreciate so much more when you understand what you are walking into. Wonderful visit.
