"This was very nice, thank you very much!! 20mn from sphinx international airport which was very handy for us to fly the day after. Inside all is a super new, but most nice is the 1st class service of this family serviced apartment. Arranged us food delivery in evening that she even brought it to the room. No really that was very nice to be. Only regret is to have been only one night. I would have found them before, i would stay at least 2 nights to rest more and make maybe a laundry."

"I cannot begin to explain how helpful the staff has been
Very nice quiet small location with approximately eight rooms
This is how much they go above and beyond. I have been looking for two days for location to exchange some US dollars.
The front desk worker actually went with me all around the area and was actually going to use his personal bank account to exchange funds for me, but the bank was closed
He stayed with me until we found a working ATM that would exchange dollars

"The best location with the view from the balcony.
You are looking at the only remaining ancient wonder of the world ( among the first seven wonders of the world ) , right from your hotel room.
Hotel staff super friendly, the food was great, if I ever go back to Egypt, I will stay in this property again."

A traditional hotel, with fantastic views of the pyramids, sphinx and a free view of the evening light show on the pyramids. All this from the roof terrace and some of the rooms

This hotel offers a very balanced experience. The location is excellent, close to transportation and major points of interest. The staff were polite and attentive, and the organized tours added great value to our stay. Cleanliness and security were clearly a top priority.

The landlord is exceptionally kind, generous, and friendly, offering outstanding hospitality. The mother was just as warm and welcoming. They are truly some of the best people I have ever met—easily deserving more than five stars. Very close to the Pyramids with nice rooftop view as well.

The hostel opened a few years ago, so it was very clean, and the staff were all very nice and helpful, so we had a wonderful time there. Our children loved the common space and spent a lot of time there, feeling at home. Although my flight back home was at night, the staff helped us even after we checked out. Highly recommended for your stay in Cairo!

Beautiful property near downtown Cairo (15/20 min walk). The hostel is just off a Main Street with shops for snacks and pharmacies etc.
The staff are wonderful and help to create such a relaxing atmosphere. Whoever decorated the rooms did so perfectly.
Everything you need is at the property and you can get a delicious home cooked meal for dinner if you don’t fancy going out. There are lots of spots in the hostel to relax and unwind after a long day. Would definitely stay here again.
