Mit Ghamr Trip

An amazing experience. Friendly staff and lovely Egyptian smiling kind faces. Clean, neat & very affordable. I’ll come back again and again!

The front desk was spectacular from start to finish, they explained everything thoroughly and were always pleasant. The view is absolutely amazing. When they say, “Pyramid Facing” it is literally pyramid facing! You can see a magnificent view of the from the pool, while you eat, and of course your room. The drivers help make everything accessible and do a great job of managing traffic in a otherwise unmanageable situation. I promise you no matter how great of a driver you think you are you cannot drive anywhere in Egypt, the moment you use any logic you will crash, but it works for them

Property was being renovated while we were there. Some noise from works during the night. Some parts looked very good but others didn't. Pool was not for swimming in, only for viewing. We weren't given the pool view room that we had booked. Housekeeping didn't change our bedding at all while we were there. Nile cruise organised for us by staff at the hotel was disappointing as we were kept waiting for ages and most of the food was gone by the time we were allowed onto the boat. On the plus side, it was very close to Giza pyramids.

Room was very spacious and clean. The manager was extremely helpful as well. There is a nice mall right next door with plenty of good restaurants to choose from.

I always look for places that have lots of space and a washer because I can pack lighter. This fit the bill. The space was so far it felt like the kitchen was a half-block away (well, it kinda was). And I didn't have to hang the cloths out to dry: it was a washer/dryer all-in-one machine. The living room/dining area was huge, I'd say 25'x15' and, as I discovered after four days, a wonderful balcony with a settee, chairs, and table. Hadn't thought to pull the curtains. The master bedroom was a corner room so you could see the Nile and the city, which was a fantastic view. The second bedroom went unused but it was nice as well. The only thing that could use an upgrade is the bathroom. The tub is very old and patched up, but more importantly is about 5-6" taller than any tub I've seen. You have to step up very high to get in the shower and there are no grab bars. Not a deal-breaker for most, but if you're elderly, short, out of shape, arthritic...it may be hard. You may want to inquire with the property; some suites may have more updated bathrooms. The hotel is in a very secluded area, so if you stay, either use the hotel's amenities (great food, 24 hours) or get what you need while off-property. No easy walk for groceries or convenience store. Again, not a deal-breaker, just something to plan: get your junk food before you settle in. Cairo is not a sleepy village! This hotel is a nice respite from the others I saw, and good to decompress at.
