Reviews of Pyramids Overlook Inn

Location, the pyramids view, staff

Nothing

Unbelievable View. Devoted personal and manager (Adel). Very good breakfast and dinner.

I didn't like to leave this place.

We chose it because we would be on tour all day and would only use it for sleeping. We liked the variety of breakfast and the teas were nice.

We chose it for its terrace and proximity to the pyramids, but we could not find the view we dreamed of. The hotel is at the very end but low

Unbelievable view! THE closest property to the Sphinx and pyramids possible. Just stunning to sit on the terrace. WOW! Huge breakfast included. Literally 100 meters from the Sphinx entrance. Plus the owner, Adel, is truly wonderful. Honest, fair, helpful; no games or bs. He's a great resource in Giza/Cairo and all of Egypt. So nice to have someone trustworthy - when scammers are always lurking. Thank you, Adel!

Not a luxury property - but plenty comfortable. A good value. And again -- the view! OMG! My wife cried every day. Unforgettable!

Adel, the owner of the Inn, is the perfect host. He told us he could arrange anything and he did. Our plans changed at the last minute due to our flight being delayed, and Adel was able to arrange to all the details at the last minute. We have special dietary needs and requested a specific authentic egyptian dinner and Adel delivered. It was the best meal we had in Egypt. The location of the Inn at the Spinx entrance is superb as is the view from the terrace.Thank you Adel for a wonderful stay!

Nice clean rooms with great view of the pyramids. Breakfast was great. The owner is super friendly and great at setting up tours. I will definitely come back! Thanks.

Everything was perfect.

I stayed in the room with the view of the Sphinx and pyramids in January. The bed was Very comfortable. There was even an oil heater in my bedroom if I had needed it. Everything worked in the bathroom. What I liked most was the hospitality of Mr. Adell, the long time proprieter of the Inn. His hospitality is intentional and genuine. He really went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed to experience a satisfying stay. This is true for all his guests from my observations. I was expecting breakfast because it was included, but not dinner, which came every evening right out of the kitchen for his guests at no additional charge. This is just one of many instances I could mention.

The only thing that I didn't like was that the illumination from the light fixtures in the bedroom and the bathroom was inadequate, at least for me it was. Although there was enough functional light, I would not have been able to open a paper or a book and read the pages very easily in the room.

The view! It was amazing and well worth booking this stay. Localization very near all kinds of shops, restaurants, etc. Eating breakfast every day on a terasse with the view of the Sphinx and the Pyramids was breathtaking. The owner is very friendly, acommodating, and easygoing. He speaks English very, very well.

The wall are thin and there is no privacy at all. You can hear all that is said in the kitchen. It is impossible to get water to flow right at an acceptable temperature to take a shower. It either cold or burning and usually trickles due to low and variable water pressure.

Fantastic view of the pyramids, you can see the light show from the terrace. The owner Adel made the place extra special he treated us like a family, he offered us some tasty local food and helped to make our trip smooth. It was a shame we couldn't stay longer.

Adel, the owner speaks perfect English and couldn't be more friendly and helpful with everything that we need! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

The best location, there is nothing closer, first row for pyramids and sphinx. The host couldn't be more friendly and welcoming. He will organise your whole stay if you ask including trips and drivers . Highly recommend.

Location the owner is helpful

Location

Adel was the perfect host! He gave us an authentic experience we would not have had at a five star hotel.

Room ceiling needs some maintenance but it didn’t detract from our enjoyable stay.

View of the Pyramids and Sphinx are unparalleled, but the best part was the host. He helped with everything I needed. (Have him help you with tours, transportation, meals, and whatever else you want. It will save you money.) Facilities are not new, but clean and comfortable. It is definitely not a hotel. If you are looking for a place where you are treated like a guest in someone's home, this is it.

The shower in the bathroom was small and had low water pressure. You have to know where you are going as it is a little hard to find, but the host will arrange transportation straight to the door cheaper than you can find on your own.

Location was fantastic. View incredible (Pyramids and Sphinx) . Owner (Adel) was the nicest chap you could meet who would do anything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Bottled water available (free). Breakfast varied each day (example bread, jam, battered chips, omelette, falafel, sour cream, fruit tea and bottled water). Seating areas indoor and outdoor if you want to chill and take in the views. Staff were great and available most of the day if you had any problems. A hidden gem is the best way to describe this hotel. If I'm ever in Cairo again I would stay here for sure.

Not much toilet paper but we had some of our own so no big deal.

Adel is a lovely host. Always available to help with everything Good portion breakfast Location is just amazing in front of the Sphinx

The room need a refreshment.

I enjoyed my stay at the Pyramids Overlook Inn. I had a delay and arrived late at night but Adel the owner kindly waited for me. I was received like a guest in someone's home. My bedroom was very clean and faced the pyramids, a treat for my first night in Eygpt. Breakfast was delicious! Suzu cooked up a spread for me. The ticket office is right outside and Adel gave me advice on how to navigate the complex. The bed was large and comfortable and the shower pressure was great as long as the tap was off in the kitchen!

That I only had one night there!

Location, literally sleeping next to pyramid. The owner and staff amazing hospitality and so helpful. We arrived really late after 2am and following morning, overslept by missing alarms and Mr. Adel and Zizi were so nice and understanding even though we passed the check out time. It made our first ever pyramid visit a special one, thank you Brother Adel and all staff.

Bedsheets and bathroom door lock could be better.

Can’t tell how I loved the place Location Host Size of the room Shower Yes it is simple B&B but the view and how welcome and how much the host try to make u welcome pays everything

Nothing to complain about

This is probably the best view from the sphinx and pyramids you can get, the light show happens in front of you. Staff is great and kind, the breakfast and dinner were delicious (I am vegetarian). My room was spacious, bathroom wasn't inside it but very close so nothing to bother. That view to the pyramids everyday I was there will remain in my memory forever.

This is really a small issue, but a shower curtain would do wonders inside the toilet, also there could be more vegetarian options, if there were I do probably even have lunch there, but the food was excellent nonetheless.
