This hotel is located in the Giza area of Cairo. It is about 4.5 miles from the centre of Cairo, and about 1.5 miles from the Pyramids. I got an amazing deal through hotels.com for 10 nights. Even though I booked, and got an economy room, it was very spacious, as was the bathroom, and had a fridge. The bed had a lovely firm mattress, for a great nights […] sleep. The shower had great pressure, with constant hot water. There's a wonderful huge pool, with plenty of sun loungers. The restaurants serve pretty good food at very good prices. Even room service is not at all that expensive. The hotel has its own taxi service, which is still cheap compared to the west. Outside the hotel, cheaper taxis wait, and a price can be arranged for where you want to go. Just around the corner to the right of the hotel on the main road, is a local supermarket. Great for stocking up your inroom fridge with water and snacks, and so cheap. Free wifi is available in the lobby area 24/7. It is rather outside downtown, but I found that to be a blessing. Downtown Cairo is a cheap cab ride away. Or better yet, get a cab to the Giza metro, and take the metro into the city for only one Egyptian pound. I walked to and from the Pyramids several times, about 20mins each way. On two occasions I even walked from Giza metro station back to the hotel. That walk is not for the faint hearted!! Lisateave

Having visited Cairo on a number of occasions I have to say that this hotel offers the best value for money I have encountered to date. I will certainly return there.

solid hotel, decent location. staff is friendly and the place is clean. tourism in giza/cairo is lagging big time, and it shows everywhere. the whole place has a sad atmosphere, and the hotel was the same. i imagine when the industry is booming it would be a lively place. but, as is, the hotel was clean and fine.there is nothing wrong with the hotel. […] it just seems a little desolate. the breakfast buffet was lacking though. overall, it does the job and the price is fine. oh, no alcohol. and the tour guide info person in the lobby was very good.

The only thing which you will find useful for this hotel is it's value for money and close proximity to the pyramids. Else this hotel is far from Cairo city center. A big negative for this hotel is its poor customer service ! But not sure if I should complain considering the price I paid for this hotel was not exorbitant.

March 2013, emailed hotel asked for top floor pyramid view room 1513.paid 100LE to get to the hotel from the airport, 30LE to get to the museum or dinner cruise area. hotel charged 100LE to take us to the pyramids and drive us from one pyramid to the other and wait for us while we walked around (took 3 hours) Pyramid experience was spoiled by harassing […] Egyptians trying to sell anything and everything. best to get a taxi outside the hotel &agree on price before you start. The Pharaohs Cruise was great and the museum has the most amazing display of history. The people in the business center in the hotel were helpful and honest. You can use their computers and pay 30LE for 1/2hour internet access. The food in the hotel was lovely &very reasonably priced 100LE for 2 courses for 2 people. Be prepared for a very 3rd world experience - no police, driving chaos on the roads &litter everywhere. You can wear what you like around the hotel but it is advisable, for women, to cover up outside the hotel - the men will stare and approach you, making you more of a tourist target (to be overcharged for everything) and very uncomfortable. Don't get ripped off by the shops in the hotel - the supermarket around the corner from the hotel (5 mins walk up the main street away from the pyramids) sells papyrus pictures for only 15LE (not the 100 the shop charges) Other shops up that area will charge 30LE for the 3 pyramid figures. Totally awesome experience. Lisateave

Location: It's good it's close to pyramids, but horrible area, you can't walk really anywhere. I hoped I could just enjoy the swimming poool, but it's in front of the hotel and just below 4 lines highway. It's noisy but it's not too bad as it is noisy anywhare in Cairo Staff: Helpfull when possible, especially afternoon shift Price: Comparing what […] what it is and what you get, it doesn't worth it.

the small swimming pool was full of garbage of all kinds. people at the reception kept me for nearly an hour to understand what a booking through expedia means and the to prepare the room. when I last got the room, it was completely different fron the one displayed on expedia. I was booking for 2 adults and 3 children and I was told that the room would […] include two double beds, but it included two single beds, and when I asked for a third bed, people at the reception said they do not have any extra beds available. The area around the hotel is very dirty. at the morning, there was a water cut for nearly 30 minutes. the water in the shower turned from very hot to very cold every now and again and unexpectedly.

Good was fasting so they made provision in Ramadan for early breakfasts . Watch out for man with camel he can be very pushy for tips. Pyramids are 5 mins away and should cost no about £1.00 but you will prob pay £2.00 or 20egp.

Interesting hotel: a peaceful hotel in a weird area. Giza is a dirty, noisy and crowded area. Giza is full of life, but the dirt, people, pollution and refuse just get under one's skin. The hotel is a pleasant oasis in the middle of all this, although with the increased urbanization of the local area it is losing its privacy and views of the pyramids; […] its closeness to the pyramids is maybe not important, as most people will take a taxi anywhere (although you can walk to the main entrance to the pyramids - it takes about 25 mins). One could stay in a downtown Cairo hotel, which will be more expensive but also less noise and dirty surroundings. Food is ok in the hotel, but maybe there could be more local dishes in the restaurants. Lisateave

This is an islamic Hotel, the bar is limited to local wine and some imported beer. The property is quite nice, but the Hotel is in front of the elevated Ring Road Highway and an ugly canal. You can easily walk to the main road to catch a local cab, once you escape the hawking of the local cab drivers in front of the hotel. The Hotel has cars with driver […] available for about 300 pounds or 50 dollars per day, which are very convienent to see the Pyramids and other local sights. A city cab is best to get to the Egyptian Museum and other tourist sights. Breakfast was quite nice, dinner ok, and the prices ok. It was a bit cool, but my room did not have any heating. Other people did have heat in their rooms. Intenet was good, but about 17.00 US dollars for two days, a bit expensive. The Hotel was a good value. Would use it again, but only in the summer.

First of all, the your information on Hotels.com about the hotel was in no way true. None of what you said about the hotel was true. None of the services listed on your site were available. The hotel is located in the worst neighborhood with a elevated freeway right above it and heaps and heaps of nasty trash underneath the freeway and right across […] from the hotel. Dirt and filth surround the hotel. Guest service at the hotel was horrible and totally unacceptable. I would never recommend that anyone stay there unless they were just wanting a cheap place to stay that is close to the Giza Pyramids. Lisateave

The room was very comfortable. The amenities were a plus. As a backpacker, I needed a break from the hostel living. I really felt pampered at Grand Pyramids. My only complaint regarding this place is the charge for internet service. A 4 star hotel should have free wi-fi. Even hostels have free wi-fi.

Hotel wasn't as pushy as others indicated (for taxis, tours, etc.), we were completely independent. Service excellent. Room clean for Egypt. Noise from road not as bad as expected. Nice mall a couple minute walk away, with grocery store in the lowest level. Only weird thing is that they did not provide water for breakfast.

My thoughts about this hotel are that overall its much better than most top notch places in England, the hotel surroundings are nice, pool area, entertainment hut with shisha pipes and a cocktail bar. The rooms are pretty good but you'll be out most of the time, the only downfall is the shower as it goes from hot to cold. The hotel is close enough to […] the pyramids and sphinx (about 5-6km) not bad. :-) Lisateave

We got the overnight train from Aswan to Cairo and highly recommend staying out at Giza ofr your first night in Cairo so that you can seemlessly go and visit the pyramids which are only a 20 minute walk form the hotel down an intersting street. The hotel is a generic 4 star hotel with a lovely pool. Rooms are nice and comfortable with all the services […] that you'd expect. My one main complaint - as with most higher end hotels - was the cost of the wifi internet connection - 100 EGP or approx 11GBP for a 24 hour period, which is an absolute rip-off. However, the room was an absolute bargain comparatively speaking, so I guess only a minor problem! Lisateave

We stayed at the Grand Pyramids and found the location good for our visit to the pyramids as well as the proximity to the train station in Giza. The hotel has everything you need which is good since the surrounding area is not welcoming. Dinner was a bit pricey but the food was varied and tasty.

We requested a non-smoking room with a king bed. We instead got a smoking room and two double beds which they said they could connect the two beds together and make them up like a king bed so my husband I would be able to share the same bed. After 3 days at the hotel calling both the front desk and housekeeping each night, nothing was done about the […] bed situation. The hotel was also very loud at night. There were two weddings during the weekend we visited, the weddings were not particularly late at night, around 9:30pm but we could hear them very clearly from our room and they were very loud and distracting even with the windows completely closed. The food at both restaurants was not good. Both the buffet and the Italian restaurant were terrible. We purchased full-board for our stay and ate less than half our meals in the hotel due to the quality of the food. The front desk staff seemed very disinterested in any concerns we had and were for the most part unhelpful. The bellhops and security were very friendly and helpful. They were definitely the best staff members we encountered. Housekeeping, other than the bed situation, consistently did a good job with our room which was very clean. Lisateave

The location is okay only if you are solely going to see the Pyramids. It was about a 10 min. taxi ride from the Pyramids, about 45 min. from the airport, both without heavy traffic. The hotel and the rooms were okay - just outdated - however, the shower water kept turning boiling hot or cold. Breakfast was okay..

This hotel was very good. It is a huge hotel with a very nice pool. Rooms were very large and the price was very good for thia type of hotel. I would recommend it completely. Only thing it is a bit far from the center of Cairo, so it depends on what things you want to visit.

This hotel has pros and cons. First the pros. For what they charge, you get a very nice room (particularly on the ground floor poolview), the grounds are nice (particularly around the pool at nights) and there is great live entertainment in the Arabic Cafe. On the cons side, the food is generally terrible- often recycled and overpriced for the quality. […] Internet access is expensive. There are few eat-out options around, there is a highway overpass right next to you which brings in some pollution, the neighborhood is somewhat rundown. Also, they use pesticides you can smell almost everyday. The hotel is almost an hour with traffic from downtown. I would not recommend this hotel if you need to travel to downtown regularly. The service is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Lisateave

They forgot to pick me up at the airport. When I called them, they said they would look into it and call me back. The receptionist did call back and said I would have to take a taxi there. I had to pay the taxi driver out of my own pocket despite it being the hotel's fault.
