10/10 Excellent
"WOW!! The view of the pyramids, sphinx & Giza plateau- UNBELIEVABLE!! View from the rooftop dining area is SPECTACULAR!! The staff is incredible- always helpful, joy filled smiles & will help arrange car transportation, any tour needs & offer their own tours. The food was good (again the views!!) Clean, free water whenever you need/want, good beds & accommodations. It’s located in Giza, right across from pyramids; about 30min to airport, 45min to central Cairo attractions. Book now for an incredible stay!!"
