Reviews of Happy Day Pyramids View Hotel 3 stars

The receptionist was excellent

Needs more hygiene

The hotel was very clean and close to the pyramids and free breakfast was provided as in room service. It is on a main road and easy to find the place but at the same time close rural area in Cairo where you can see the average life of the Egyptian people away from the standard 5 star hotels. The hotel owner Mr. Abdo speaks fluent English and can be contacted over phone or WhatsApp anytime. He is very helpful and can arrange tours to historic places when requested.

The locals like to stay up the whole night and usually the shops open midday through the night so it was a bit inconvenient since I'm an early riser in the morning.

the views of pyramids

Nothing bad at all

The place is very close to the pyramids, the views from the room are very good especially at night. The beds and facilities are very clean. Also the owner of the place and the staff is very friendly.

Some staff members do not speak English but you can communicate with the owner or with reception.

Room is quite good and clean staff was helpful

Everything was good

The view of the pyramid from the room's window is nice. Reasonably clean bathroom. Air conditioner worked perfectly. They let me check out late at 3PM, which was nice.

I paid for a big room with balcony, they put me up in the standard room with no balcony. Hotel is cheap because they will upsell you like crazy for the "tours". Paid 60 USD for a tour of the Pyramids, but still had to buy my own ticket and also pay on top for the horse ride, another 100USD. Very misleading. So essentially their "tour" is just the driver and the car. The "guide" was just a middleman for the horse ride. Room was falling apart - drawer broken, door handle loose.

The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was tasty. The view was nice.

Sometimes it was a bit noisy.

Wow. Great view, great staff, great experience. A big thank you to Abdo, Mohammed and staff for making my stay a very pleasant one. People and memories that will stay in my heart forever.

Awesome view Close to Pyramids / Museum Comfortable beds Suggested tours

Not enough warm water ( small heater) No heater in the room. Not clean kitchen . Few breakfast options

Good location- the rooms are very nice and comfortable and an excellent view of the Pyramids from the balcony room. The personnel , especially Hassany at the reception is very nice and extremely helpful for all your needs, even if they are not concerning the hotel. Amani, the maid is also very nice and helpful. Mr Abdul ( the owner) is very nice and also extremely helpful and attentive to any and all concerns you may have. I would highly recommend this hotel, if you’re staying in Giza. I definitely will stay there again, as I travel fairly frequently to Cairo/Giza.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

I like the service and they are friendly

Staff was to much kind and helpful

Showers temperate adjustable was difficult

Abdul and his staff were amazing! Very kind and helpful. One time, I wanted to find a restaurant nearby to eat, so he sent his son (cousin?) to accompany me as we walked down the street. He wanted to be sure I was safe, wasn't hounded by locals, and also didn't get lost at night. Abdul gave me his number whenever I needed to contact him which proved to be very helpful when my drivers would struggle to find the hotel. There's another place with an almost similar name about 2 streets away so he would give them the directions in Arabic to find me. The single room that I booked was surprisingly comfortable and good size for a solo person. I noticed a much larger room with several more beds that was very big! It was a clean room. It has all the basics that you need - a fridge, a kettle, a clean bathroom, a shower with quick hot water, decent towels, a locked cabinet, a table, a tv with loads of stations (Arabic and some English. I didn't look for more because I wasn't there to watch tv.), and switches for bright room light or side lights. Reliable, quick internet. When you get off the elevator at the 4th floor hotel, the reception lobby is right there. You enter another metal gate door to the hotel rooms and then your hotel room. I would easily come back here again, especially for the price and value! Thank you for all the free bottles of water whenever I asked.

During specific times of the day/night, it got a bit noisy for me because of honking cars, yelling people outside, and prayer calls. I put it earplugs and it was fine. Arrange your breakfast with a fair amount of time before a tour. One morning, it came 50 minutes later than booked, which meant I had only minutes to eat before the tour guide picked me up. The shower is narrow so I got water all over the place. There was a drain so it dried quickly.

Good staff and they will do their best to make you happy with your stay and they serve good breakfast

Small hotel on one floor of a building and had tough time with heating as there were leakages from window and door so it was cold …and it’s over head shower and you are forced to take head bath every time

The room was clean, new, and the balcony offered astonishing views to the pyramids.

1. I booked a tour to Dahshur, Sakkara and Memphis with them. Even when it was far more expensive than other options, I decided to book with them under the expectation of a professional and reliable experience. However, in Sakkara the guide made me pay extra 35 euro if I wanted to continue with the tour, his explanations were weak and he was more interested in bringing me to his friends stores to buy their products instead of showing and teaching me about the heritage. 2. I paid 15 dollar for a SIM card, but it run out of data the following day. I had to pay extra amount to obtain new data. 3. The owner was very intrusive continously offering me his tours, even calling me at late night when I was sleeping.

Location

Shower and toilet in one place

Amazing location and very nice staff, people are so nice and cooperative,clean place and close to the pyramids and the grand museum.

The view of the pyramids was very nice, the staff was kind and the room was clean.

The noise from the street was very loud, it was difficult to sleep even with earplugs.

I liked the place itself, it overlooks the pyramids and is close to them, the rooms are very clean, the workers there are clean, cooperative and very kind and they want to serve you without you asking them, and in addition to that, the price of the place compared to all these good features is very cheap compared to all these features, I really recommend it
