"We had to stay a night here as our original hotel wouldn't allow an early check in so we found this last minute. For the price you get what you pay for. AC didn't work so we had to keep balcony door open at night. It was walkable to shops and restaurants open late at night so that was good. Area seemed like heavily local and not touristy. The breakfast in the morning was good given the price."

Friendly staff and incredibly clean facility. 10/10 - Better than spaces that cost 6 times the daily rate. Bathroom not attached, but two available and VERY clean with amenities. Was very happy with this stay.

An absolute standout stay! The entire property is sparkling clean, modern, and relaxing. Check-in was effortless, the bed was ultra-comfortable, and the Wi-Fi and amenities worked without a hitch. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive from start to finish. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more enjoyable experience—10/10 recommendation!

Gamal and the team are just amazing. It needs more more upgrade. Specially. The sofas. There were just dirty. The beds were comfy. Best room 102 . Dont take 107. The bathroom is really small.
The outside is really dusty. Kids run to you to ask you for money and follow you all the way.
Dnt trust people from outside to help you get to the pyramids. Since they are egyptian. They dnt pay to enter to the pyramids. They will give their fare and you wont understand it because it is in arabic.

The owner made sure that his guests felt welcome and comfortable. Was helpful in arranging tours and transportation. The outside of the building is average, but the room was very clean. It was an excellent deal for the money spent.

I am in love with this place!! The staff is the best I’ve seen!! So friendly, attentive, professional!! I was referred to as Mr. Adam and if I asked for anything, it was brought to my room!
The Tour Manager, Gamel, is the hardest working man I have ever met!! He would personally handle any situations that came up. My wife and I had a last minute idea of a tour and Mr. Gamel was calling his people at midnight to ensure our tour was ready!! Truly a great person!!

I had a great stay at the Pyramids Lounge.
Ehab and Mohamad were extremely helpful in setting up tours of the pyramids, sakara/dashour and Alexandria.
I would have been totally lost without them arranging everything. It was safe and informative and easy for me.
I even left a bag of mine in the taxi from the airport to the hotel and Ehab was able to help me retrieve it! Really saved a disaster there.
Would definitely recommend, price is great and the view of the pyramids during breakfast...
