Sofitel Le Sphinx
If you want a good hotel downtown, near the Sphinx and Pyramids, take this hotel. You don’t even need to book any Pyramids/Sphinx tours. Its so so close to you. However, you are far from modern Cairo - the malls, modern streets for shopping, and Mohandesin, near Zamalek. Once you see the Sphinx, there isnt much to see again unless you travel to the "happening" part of town. Very very busy hotel due to location and may appear to compromise a little, the 5-star hotel standard. Hotel shops are equipped for almost everything you may need. Swimming pool is fantastic.Dont miss it! I stayed in one of the best rooms.Hotel staff made me feel welcome and did all to make me enjoy my stay.

Service needs improvement
The hotel was nice and convenient to get to the Pyramids, but I thought the service was not very good. The people at the reception were inattentive, bordering on rude. They said they couldn’t find my reservation and made me wait almost an hour while they were "searching" for it.

Good value that has the essentials
This is an older hotel, so has the 70’s deco look and a bit frayed. However, it was clean and very convenient to the Giza pyramids and easy trip to Shaqqara pyramids. A bit of a ride to the city sights, but worth coming back to a quieter area. It was much quieter than most previous comments made it sound, especially if you get a garden room. The inner grounds landscaping and pool were very nicely maintained. If the pool chairs were all taken, they had a beautiful, soft grass area to lay upon. There was a convenience shop in the hotel for necessities. You will work for good service all over the city, so the hotel is no different, but you do get the service eventually. The food in the lobby cafe was excellent, from breakfast rolls to pizzas to hummus. The value is definitely worth the reasonable price and convenient location.
Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
Pay the price for the camel ride around the back of pyramids and get away from the tourist busses - that’s what you are there for! The hotel taxis are convenient, but you pay for it. We hired a driver for three days and it was very reasonable, about $US 40-50 per day plus tips.
