  Good staff but place was just okay

  You get what you pay for. Location is in an alleyway which was what we weren’t expecting but staff are very friendly, looks like a family owned business. It was hard to communicate as not everyone spoke English. Rooftop has a great view of the pyramids which is what brought is to book the place but it was full of animal poop outside and a lot of flies at the rooftop that definitely bothered us while having breakfast. The hotel offers tours if you haven’t booked any, it was convenient for us as we were able to go to the pyramids with a camel and private tour guide as soon as we got there. Staff and owner were nice to allow us to check in very early (8am). Our private tour guide Mahmoud was knowledgeable and honest. He took care of us. The downside was that all the tours offered through the owner/hotel were very expensive and we had to bargain. Prices upfront seemed unreasonable to us. Also we were taken to a papyrus/perfume shop which seemed to be affiliated with the hotel. Shop owner was very pushy to buy a painting from him which we did to our regret. But otherwise hotel was okay.

  Good option

  It was great being so close to the pyramids. There are some internet towers in between you and the pyramids so not a clear view for picky photographers, but for the normal viewer it was great. We enjoyed watching the camels stroll in and out each day. The owners smoke downstairs so you do have to walk through a smokey entrance every time you arrive/leave but luckily our room smelled fine. Room was very clean and beds were comfortable for all. Wifi on the 3rd floor is sketchy, at best. None on the rooftop. So don't heavily rely on the wifi. Food was good. I did have to ask for a few necessary things that I would think would already be in the room, and had to ask for each thing 2 or 3 times...every time. The owners are friendly and the young men who helped us most were very sweet. There are chickens across the way and you can hear the mosque + horns honking (Welcome to Cairo) so if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. I felt safe staying with them but would not recommend walking around the nearby area unless you are really used to Cairo and know what to expect. We enjoyed the Sound and Light show from the balcony and a large tasty breakfast. All in all we had a nice stay.

  No WiFi

  Traveling around the world and this hotel had no wifi! And as soon as you get there this clown wants to give you a high pressure on booking a tour tells me 110.00 American each end up being 250 for both the tour was worth it but having to deal with a high pressure sales pitch as soon as you walk in the door sucks! Did I say no wifi? But the young lady at desk let me use her hot spot on her phone and the other staff was great. Just after traveling you don't want to deal with a used car salesman! But I do suggest to stay was a great location and clean.
