Reviews of Royal Pyramids Inn

The location of the accommodation is fantastic — you can enjoy stunning views of the pyramids. The staff were very accommodating, even when I arrived at midnight. They arranged a reliable driver for the airport shuttle and kindly allowed me to check in early at 4 a.m. They also let me store my baggage when I went on a two-day, one-night desert tour, which I really appreciated.

I had two issues during my stay. First, the shower in my room didn’t work properly, even though there was a hot water machine. Fortunately, the weather was warm every day, so it wasn’t a major problem for me. Second, the tour guide (driver) recommended by the hotel was disappointing. He took me to the pyramids, but I ended up being scammed by one of his friends for a camel ride. Even though I asked about the price in advance, he was with the person who overcharged me. I ended up paying an unreasonable amount for just a 30-minute ride. I recommend future visitors arrange their own tours instead of relying on guides introduced by the hotel.

This is a sweet hotel. My sister and I were in Cairo for a few days to see the sacred sites. The location of the hotel is fabulous - about a 1.5-minute walk to the gate of the Giza Plateau. Not only was this great for being near the pyramids, but it was also a good location to have taxis drop us off when returning from other adventures (like the museum in Cairo). There is a view of the Menkaure and Khafre pyramids, plus the sphinx, from the rooftop terrace. Excellent service by the staff; they are lovely and friendly. The room was clean. The breakfast was hearty and delicious. I would return there again; excellent value for the price.

The shower pressure wasn't great, but we managed. There was some noise sometimes at night from children playing outside late at night (not associated with the hotel), but I guess that's unavoidable.

Breakfast is delicious. You can see Giza pyramid on the top floor. The hotel can provide laundry service with acceptable price.

There is no elevator and the hotel is on third floor. Hotel location is hidden in alley, it's hard to find.

Royal pyramid inn hotel leaves only the best impression of the place of stay, Hussein, thank you for the perfectly organized time.. I am very glad that I met such people. I will always listen, hear and help. thank you for the wonderful time.

The breakfasts were not too plentiful, but they were sufficient and tasty, served on the hotel rooftop with a view of the pyramids — which would basically make up for even an unappetizing breakfast :) The entire staff was always extremely polite and helpful, providing service of a high standard. The bedroom had air conditioning, though unfortunately the fridge wasn’t working — but there are shops with cold drinks just below the hotel. One of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. The hotel is located just a 3-minute walk from the entrance to the Giza complex. The area is quiet and away from traffic. Our stay was during Ramadan, so life started in the evening and continued until late, but it didn’t disturb our rest. There was always hot water, the room was cleaned, and towels and bed linen were changed.

It was a wonderful experience to stay in a family-run hotel, to spend time with and get to know the local residents, their neighbors, and everyday people on the street. Warm greetings to you all!

The location is super close, in town with near by atm machines. The staff smiled and was very friendly and helpful and kind. The rooms were clean and neat.

We arrived late and I am sure that is why things did not go as we would have liked. We were not shown how to turn on the air conditioner and it was hot. It did work as we found out the next morning. One of our rooms had toilet paper, one did not. There was no "office" we arrived late, and so could not ask for some tp. We did not try the wifi. For the price it is an absolute steal and clean so we were glad we stayed, but one night was enough..

Staff was kind and it is a safe place for women

The location to the entrance to the pyramids. Bed was comfortable. View from the rooftop was insane. The room was clean. Staff was nice

The location is perfect, 100 meters away from the enterance of Giza Necropolis. The hotel has a nice terrace with pyramids view, only one pyramid is not fully visible. The breakfast was simple, not bad. Environment is quite, you wake up with bird sounds. Tne area is safe; there are men who are trying to sell things and insisting in all around the streets but this is how Egypt is, after we got used to it, we felt safe; they are very insistent but not thieves.

Kind and helpful staff. Quiet and secure location.

Breakfast the same every day but plentiful and good.

The views from the rooftop

It feels illegal to stay there. No reception, no staff, no credit cards accepted... The most uncofortable bed I’ve ever slept on. I had to shower with cold water in january several times because hot water didn’t flow from the taps. Everything is dirty. The views are only on the rooftop. From the rooms you can’t actually see the pyramids (which is the main highlight they have and the only reason you would stay in such place so far from Cairo and in such poor conditions). The staff was nice though.

Very close to main entrance to the Pyramids, good staff, didn't have time to try breakfast due to plans.

A bit hard to find at first and seemed a bit dodgy area😉 when I arrived at midnight, but it's alright during the day.

The hosts were absolutely amazing. Great communication, super friendly - they really treated us like family. Happy to help w.tours and fares... The location was perfect. 3 min walk to the Pyramids gate. Great rooftop - nice view of the pyramids, perfect for breakfast, (which was fresh & yummy), quiet and safe street. We celebrated New Years Eve there - so fun. Giza is overall a bit run down. Hotel is showing some ware and age. Well worth the money. Would definitely stay again & recommend to others.

I loved the location. Right next to the pyramids!

Breakfast could be better. It was more of a Homestay

Location, worth money paid

Deluxe room did not look like a bit deluxe. Facilities, furniture, fridge, carpet were outdated, carpet need thorough cleaning

The location is almost perfect. 2 of the 3 piramids can be seen from the roof terrance but not the biggest one. The holtel located about 50 meters from the main entrance to the Giza piraminds. Breakfast is traditional and great. Room is good size for a double room. The room was very clean even with european standards. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Bathroom has a proper shower not with the sit on toilet shower.

Beautiful building but no elevator and the room is on the 4th floor so if you can't use stairs it's not for you. The street is not the cleanest but if you go to Egypt you have to accept it.

We liked everything there - from a wonderful view to the very helpful, nice people working there! They gave us water when we came late as were thirsty, also helped with keeping backpacks when we went sightseeing

We haven't noticed anything bad :)

Breakfast, WiFi, position, staff, the terrace, the views, the comfy beds.

The wardrobe was super dusty, so we didn't use it. It is a minor thing easily fixable. The road to get to it is smelly and dirty.

Everything was perfect. Really recommended!
