We loved the everyday residential neighborhood setting, far away from street vendors and hustlers. Here, it was just us and the locals. Mohamed, who speaks good English, was a most attentive host who went out of his way to be hospitable. He makes a great cup of tea! His breakfasts were ample and delicious. This family run, 4 room house guest is a very good value for the money and a lot of fun for off the beaten path travelers who want to get to know the local people.

Great place to stay right next to pyramids. Very quiet, nice backyard to relax, and outstanding hospitality from Mohammed who drove us around and helped us find anything we needed.

Avoid. dishonest.
Pros: got us an early morning taxi to the airport. Taxi driver was great. Cons: owner was not up front about the cost of touring services - would not give us a clear answer on cost until after the tour. He would not honor his posted "complimentary airport shuttle service" and instead engaged us in a long debate about why we must pay for it. He did not give us our change when we paid him. There was no wifi as was also mentioned complimentary. No breakfast. Hot water was turned off. Hotel is somewhat isolated - difficult to get to area sites. Overall shady and uncomfortable experience because of Mohammed, the manager.

Archeologist's dream!
What a lovely retreat for me, this was. I stayed one month, studying the wealth of history which closely surrounds Sak kara Inn. Cleanliness and service never faltered. My luck brought me there, it was surely 'kismet'. My thanks go to my fine host, Mohamed, and his top notch assistants. I didn't know Arabic, no problem, they are all multi-lingual. I didn't know the customs, no problem, they were perfectly friendly with their hints and conversations. Mohamed knew everyone that could be helpful to my trip, and made himself always available for my travel and advice needs. I'm a single, average Joe from the woods, USA, with a normal job, and I always felt he treated me like his brother. I will go back to Egypt, and only use him and his advice. I know I can count on him. Sakkara Inn is as beautiful as the pictures show and located next to some of the richest history on earth. Thanks Mohamed!

Amazing hotel in the desert!
This hotel is run by Mohamed who is a lovely man with extensive knowledge of the area of Abu Sir. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sakkara Inn Hotel. The hotel is located in the desert outside of all the hustle & bustle of Cairo & provides breathtaking views of the Abu Sir pyramids as well as the Djoser Pyramid. Our host was kind enough to take us to the Abu Sir pyramid & even offered us dinner in the desert with some locals. Hospitality & kindness were show to us during our entire stay at the Sakkara Inn Hotel & we will definitely be sure to return on our next trip to Egypt.

Good service but very expansive for tour package
I choose this hotel because the comment is very good. The hotel owner, Mohamed suggested I do this hotel review in front of him but i refused. I afraid I won't write the bad thing and gave the higher rate if I do this review with him. I don't think it is good idea to do the hotel review in front of the hotel owner. I doubt many people give 5 star because they request to do the review with hotel owner. Mohamed gave the good service that I can try the real Egyptian experience. However, it is difficult to find the restaurant and public transport in this village. Mohamed can provide all the transport included the Pyramid visit. I can said Mohamed is a good hotel owner and provide very good service if you don't mind to pay extra money which is double, triple or more to the standard price. I paid the package for Pyramid visit which include everything from Mohamed but I request to paid for the Ticket and Horse Tour guide at the end. (Everything package means package with food, transportation and tour planning.) I can save triple cost for this tour if I find private taxi service instead of Mohamed service. Mohamed provide the safe and convenience tour for me but good service is equal to the higher cost. If you don't care about the money, it is very good to choose this hotel to enjoy the Egyptian experience.

Friendly and quiet place to stay, convenient for C
Made to feel very welcome by all, most attentive staff, gorgeous breakfasts. I was able to use Mohammed and Mahoud's services - at a reasonable rate - to explore many of the sights and get into and back from Cairo. Mohammed is highly experienced and competent. I had the chance to arrange visits throughout the country at good rates. In addition, there is local transport to and from Cairo, which with their Metro, made getting around the city very easy. Some people are staying away from Egypt because of security concerns. I would say that the hotel is very safe; it is away from the targets favoured by extremists and is in a village where everybody knows everybody. This means that any suspicious people would be easily spotted by the locals who abhor terrorism.

I just sated 2 days and left the hotel everything is fake, for example, the address of that place what they writes is fake you cannot go Yousef , the name of the manger Elline " there is no one her names Elline in that place , they said wifi internet but it doesn't work so you have to pay for good spot and they took extra money 100 Egyptian pound , if you need taxi not everyone can reached you So you have to use uthire taxi it cost you extra money as usual . And the breakfast comes with deity plate and with flies even the neiborhood with barn with horses and another kind of animal. The smells is too bad , and much more I could not writ it here. So I moved to another hotel and please could you refund the money for that hotel.

From one family to another stay here.
My family of 5 and I rented a few rooms while on holiday in Cairo. We loved the experience. Mr. Mohamed took very great care of us, he was a kind and gentle spirit and made our vacation very special. He organized all meals, travel, tourist, drivers a site seeing and excursion to Alexandria which was wonderful. About the hotel it has more of a bed and breakfast feel to it. It feels like visiting a family member with the attention and service that the hotel staff provides. It also felt like we rented a flat instead of a hotel. We had traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. We also shared tea and coffee in the beautiful garden each day. Also, you can see 5 different pyramids from the hotel, the most famous being Abu Sir, which is the oldest pyramid.

Hôtel accueillant et serviable
Nous avons passé plusieurs nuits dans cet hôtel et avons été plongé dans la véritable vie egyptienne. Le propriétaire a été très accueillant et serviable. Il s’est chargé de nous guider dans les visites du Caire et alentours : musée égyptien, place Tahrir, pyramides... L’hôtel quand bien même situé dans un petit village donne une super vue sur les pyramides ABU SIR et Sakkara. Le village est rempli d’écuries, ce qui permet de faire des petites balades à cheval au couché du soleil... paysage de dattiers très joli. Chaque matin un petit déjeuner était servi. Petits bemols, cafards dans la salle de bain, pas de fenêtre dans l’une des chambres, le climatiseur tombe en panne souvent...

Joli petit hôtel en dehors des zones urbaines (vraiment sympa), avec un magnifique couché de soleil à côté des pyramides. Super accueil et vraiment des personnes de confiance qui se sont mises en quatre pour nous.
