    "If you come from the west, it is and seems very minimalistic. It's noisy. Be prepared to wake at 520 every morning. But i would not trade my experience there for anything. I will miss all of the employees there as of 1/11/26. Love, Nadiyya"

    "By far the best customer service I’ve ever experienced! Saif and Ghandy went above and beyond to make sure every part of my stay was perfect. They helped me book tours, dinners, transportation, and were always available whenever I needed anything. The hotel is incredibly clean, peaceful, and has one of the most amazing views of the Pyramids. Their hospitality truly made my trip unforgettable. I highly recommend staying here, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Saif and Ghandy, for..."

    "I would highly recommend this hotel as an American tourist. This is just a bit off the main drag so your not constantly listening to honking and the sounds of the street and are able to sleep. The view of the pyramids is incredible and you literally cannot stay closer to them. Breakfast was convenient and the staff were very helpful. No elevator if you are unable to use some stairs but overall a great hotel."
