8/10 Very Good! (7 reviews)

We had a really comfortable stay at Flower Pyramids Inn. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The view of the pyramids from the rooftop terrace was really nice. The breakfast included a nice variety of traditional options. The room itself that we stayed in was spacious and clean. Highly recommend if you are staying in Giza!
