Giza hotels & places to stay

among the few hotels in 6th of october, novotel is relatively inexpensive yet it location is superior in comparison. 15 min walk to mall of arabia & 10 min away from local shops if you want a true egyptian buying experience. as will most hotels there, internet cost a lot. about daily. you can bring you laptop to the lobby if you want free wifi though. the free breakfast is good. again, i am comparing with other hotels in egypt. there is a wide selection of bread and fruits. lesser on meat products. i would always get the chef to fry me an egg. the rooms are slidely small. this makes it manageble for business travellers like me. remember to lock your balcony door before leaving the room as the balcony are common to a few.

We really liked this hotel , staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was smaller than expected but warm and comfortable, loved our little balcony with its great view of the pyramids There is not much around in terms of shops etc but that's what we liked about it. It is a short taxi ride into another part of Giza and all the drivers knew of this hotel so it was easy to get home. Staff were excellent, friendly and helpful and so grateful that we were supporting tourism in Egypt

This hotel is considered to be a luxurious one in Egyptian standards. The hotel itself is clean and quite well-maintained although it looks slightly old. Location wise, far from the downtown city area but relatively close to the Giza Pyramids site. The hotel is very very near to Egypt Mall which is great if you want to do some shopping or watch a movie- it’s quite a luxurious mall and it has all the amenities to keep you busy for a full day. The hotel rooms are nice and the swimming pool area looks great for relaxing around in summer but definitely not winter. The one thing that majorly turned us off was the so-called international buffet breakfast. We are not sure if this is the Egyptian standard and local food quality but let’s just say we’ve had way better breakfast at other hotels. The food is cold and the spread does not even have much variety and doesn’t taste that great. Disappointing for a supposed 4-star hotel.

I made 2 mistakes - booking 8 days for the hotel before I planned my itinerary cause went to aswan and luxor in between. And also paying more to be upgraded to the Nile view. Honestly nothing much to see and the balcony door couldnt open so didnt see anything. Pros - room is big and hotel was going thru some upgrades so it look pretty new. Bathroom was also big and spacious. Breakfast was really good too and staff were very helpful. Cons - They didnt clear my room when I left for aswan/cairo and the food was left there for 5 days. a new club opened on the 3rd floor and it opens till 4am! You can't sleep. Dont send stuff for laundry there, ended up almost missing my flight cause they wont pick up. Also the doorman will ask if ur keen for a guide. Thinking it's from the hotel so it's trusted but it's not. The guide was a rip-off, and the doorman prob pocketed some earnings from that. Just uber everywhere.

This hotel is a decent hotel for the price, and it 10-15 walk to the british muesum and the posh side of Cairo. However this Hotel is located in a dirty part of Giza. I booked this hotel since lot of reviews said it was close to the pyramids, which is not really true since it is 15 minutes by taxi to the pyramids. However the staff are very friendly and accomodating to your request, with minimal pestering for tips unlike other hotels

The receiption staffs were very friendly and tried their best to get the room for what customer expected. As I was stranger in that city, concierage staffs provided usable information and guideline for me to access to the destination. Although the hotel outlook is old, but room was clean. Bathroom design needed to be improved as after bath the bathroom will get wet. Paking has to be charged. Internet needs to pay.

My husband and I traveled to Egypt on holiday in Sept 2009 and we tried a variety of 5 star hotels in Cairo including the Four Seasons First Residence, the Mena House Oberoi, and the Villa Belle Epoque bed and breakfast. We loved our stay at the Four Seasons First Residence. While the location is not within walking distance to the pyramids or museum, it's still close enough for a cheap cab ride. Taxis abound and the traffic is not nearly as bad as we thought. The service is impecable, and the rooms are quite spacious and finely appointed with lovely views of the Nile or the pyramids. Swimming pool is well maintained, and there are a number of high-end restaurants and shops in the adjacent mall. The concierge was extremely helpful in addressing all our needs. We found Cairo to be a bit hectic, but all this dissolved away the minute we stepped into the Four Seasons hotel. There are two locations, but the First Residence is more magnificent in our opinion. The tea lounge is a nice place to sit for a drink and a chat. If you can afford this expensive hotel, it's worth every penny. I highly recommend this hotel for business travelers and luxury vacationers!

For those who are familiar with the 6th of October City, it is situated 30km south of Cairo. Not too long ago, it was once a desert. Egypt government has done and is doing a marvelous job to urbanize it to cater to residential and factory needs. Sheraton hotel is an oasis to see to this continuous transformation. With a major theme park right at its doorstep already. Sheraton is poise to become a major highlight of this area. Service wise, Sheraton staff has been hospitable. During my 5 days stay, they called me to check if everything was alright. I responded positively. The rooms are cleaned up to my standard, the staffs were helpful and have a good command of English. There were no unpleasant incident during my stay. I am satisfied.

Me and my wife stayed for 2 nights in this hotel in April 2015. This is not a hotel for a long leisure stay, I would describe it as an economy business hotel. It doesn't offer many services, the pool is very small, I've seen nobody using it during my stay, probably because of a very noisy atmosphere around it, it's located outside and separated from one of the busiest streets of Cairo only with a small fence. The other major disadvantage - no hotel parking, we have to park on the street, and pay to a couple of weird and untidy locals to look after the vehicle, while we are gone. The only purpose of the hotel - drop your luggage, go see the Giza Pyramides, come back for a night and leave in the morning, that's it. Don't get confused about 4 stars, it's more likely about 2, but still liveable, it worth the price you pay.

This was my best hotel experience in Cairo. The hotel was really clean and comfortable, staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating, the buffet breakfast was excellent. The hotel is also located in a quiet neighbourhood and is very near restaurants and shopping areas, making it very convenient. The check-in and check-out were also done very quickly. Will definitely be returning.

As an avid motorcycle traveller I have been to some far-begotten places and The Pyramids View Inn is one of the best places I have stayed on my current RTW trip. The location is impeccable, you have a rooftop view of the Giza Pyramids and The Sphinx and add to that you get a great view of the nightly"light show" The staff here are absolutely fantastic and its a safe and secure place as well.I spent a week with Mr Kamal Ali who helped my purchase a motorcycle from Abu-Hawa Motors (Ahmed from Abu-Hawa Motors also helped me with the government craziness-God bless him!) and their help was absolutely invaluable. This hotel has comfortable rooms and beds, great showers, fast WIFI and a free pickup from the airport if you email or call ahead.The owner Mr Sami will also make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible- no problem is too big for these guys.Stay here and you will gain friends for life.

If you're looking for a place near the Pyramids of Giza, with such a great view of them that you can watch the Sound & Light show from there at night (for FREE), with phenomenal breakfast (for a small extra fee), optional yummy dinner delivered from nearby, a kitchen to use if you like, and awesome guys running the place that are more than happy to help you with any questions you might have - look no further! This is the place for you. The only negative for us was that the wifi wasn't always reliable but the guys are always happy to help troubleshoot and fix it. We would go back in a heartbeat.
