It is my second stay at Sphinx Guesthouse after 2017. For me, it has the best view to the Sphinx and the Pyramids. Rooms are big with great views. Evening time you can watch the Sound & Light Show for free. I arrived at 3 am and already got my room. Nice food also on the rooftop terrace.

Reacomodação em outro hostel.

Ao fazer o check in, solicitaram aguardar por 30 minutos. Após, conversaram e me acomodou em outro hostel próximo. Fiquei decepcionada pois reservei com o hotel e reacomodaram em outro. Tudo bem que deram suporte para a reacomodação.

Our room was at the roof top (also where breakfast is served) with the great view of the pyramid. You also get to see the sound and light show from here. Rooms are renovated and breakfast was good. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Duvets have stains and one of the bathrooms has poor drainage. Overall we had a pleasant stay. Will highly recommend especially if you want room with the great view of the pyramid.

What is not to love. The roif terrace faces the pyramids,its just wonderful. Staying here was a highlight for me. The rooms are clean and modern, everything you need including a kettle and excellent shower. The road is a bit noisy, but thats Cairo, and the general location outshines everything. The staff are lovely, would highly recommend!

During my stay at this hotel I was almost sexually assaulted by the hotel manager. To be fair this is probably not a problem you’d run into if you’re not a solo female traveler, but it was still a very scary situation that unfortunately ruined my trip. If you decide to stay here please be careful of Hytham.

What a view!

Amazing hotel. The view was breathtaking and the service was outstanding. We watched the light show at dusk from the terrace. Ate a delicious breakfast while gazing out at the pyramids. They even escorted us to their favorite felafel restaurant where we ate 6 different times. This hotel was a highlight of our experience in Egypt.

Hôtel bof mais vue époustouflante

Hôtel très bien situé aux pieds des pyramides, vu du rooftop à couper le souffle! La salle de bain n'était pas propre (traces dans les toilettes, humidité sur les murs et au plafond).. le reste de la chambre reste correcte si on aime passer la nuit avec ses voisins de chambre (aucune isolation phonique!). Nous n'avons pas eu de wifi durant nos 3 nuits dans cet hôtel! Le petit déjeuner sur le rooftop face au plateau de Gizeh est le point fort de cet hôtel. Personnel sympathique, mais prix des excursions gonflées, vous pouvez trouver bien moins cher ailleurs.

Perfect view of Sphinx and Great Pyramids.

Hotel location is near Pyramids entrance gate. Perfect view of the pyramids and sphinx. Nice arabic style breakfast. Staff are friendly. I was picked up at the airport as agreed. The hotel building is nice but it Would be great if the room assigned to me was clean and ready to use. I arrived around 3:00 a.m. and had to request to change the beddings as there were visible signs that it has been used previously. On our check out around 3:30 am, hotel arranged us a car service to the airport. The lady gave us a very old car 70’s or 80’s that cant even run more than 30 mph at the super highway. After 10-15 min of driving, we got a flat tire and we were standing on the side of the dark road of the super highway without an early warning device. Thank’s God another taxi stopped and we’re able to catch our flight on time.

En pärla i förfall.

Vilken oslipad pärla. Detta hotell är det som har bäst utsikt rakt framför pyramiderna och Sphinxen. Från tak altanen sitter du på första parkett. Du ser ljusshowen (vilken inte är mycket att se), all tre stora pyramider och är mitt framför näsan på den stora katten. Rakt nedanför är torget med alla kamel uthyrare och den lilla entrén till pyramid området är tvärs över gatan bara. Sängarn var bekväma och duschen var varm. Standarden är i övrigt mycket låg och i allmänt förfall. Frukosten enkel, men har man tur får man världens godaste falafel. Man kan inte låta bli att tänka på vilken otrolig potential detta hotell egentligen har, med ett läge som är total världsklass. Ingen roof-top i Giza har bättre läge.
