Amazing view of the pyramids. Staff were very accomodating for us. They stored our bags after check out, arranged our taxi for the evening and allowed us to relax on the balcony while we waited.

Everything was very nice. The location and view of the hotel, the employees and the service they offered were perfect. They were very satisfied with everything, including my wife and my 6-year-old son. We would also like to thank my son for his attention. They also provided us with guidance. Actually, I was a little shy at first because we usually travel by ourselves without a guide. But our guides taha and mithat provided the better service as a trip could be. Everything we wanted was brought into place in the best way without exception. We never experienced security or any other concern. That's why we also thank them. If we come to Cairo again, we will not look for another option.

The location is perfect for a stay in Cairo. There are so many food options right around the Hostel, Ubers are super easy to get in this part of the city too. The rooms are beautiful, super clean, the beds are comfy, the view is absolutely amazing from the 10th floor. And our room smelled so good, really great detail! The common areas are super clean and inviting and the kitchen is really nicely equipped. Breakfast was yummy and really filling. Last but not least, the staff is super friendly and helpful and that makes all the difference during super packed trips when you’re tired :) Absolutely recommend!

1. Fantastic support by Mohammad. The human touch makes all the difference when we are tourists in an unfamiliar foreign country. So it was a pleasure to get tips and help from Mohammad. 2. Superb location. If you are in Egypt for the pyramids then there is no place like this one. Mornings and evenings were spent on the terrace enjoying the pyramids

The hotel is beautiful but what makes this place exceptional is the staff. They are kind, friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. This is important when visiting a new country and one that is different to your own. They helped with suggestions for what to do in Cairo and Egypt and how to navigate all the little things like money, food, and transport. We felt so welcome and cared for. The wonderful staff are there 24/7 and became friends. Thanks to them, especially Lubna, Joseph, and Mohammed who made our visit an 11/10 and one we will remember fondly forever.

Very good location and safe lifts. The entrance to the hotel is clean and welcoming. I came early and they gave us an early checking-in because of it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable and big. The area was good and the rooms were sound-proof. Ac units worked well and wifi was also stable. The breakfast was very nice, and when we requested an omelette, extra bread and tea they provided us with them. Very safe location with lots of cheap food stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

The location was ideal to get to the museum and other tourist attractions. The room was very clean and comfortable but the best thing about the stay though was the staff. We arrived early and Andrew on the desk was very welcoming and allowed us to leave our bags whilst we visited the pyramids.
