Reviews of Tamara Pyramids View

Close to the Pyramids. 2 min walking distance. Manager Islam and Yousuf was very helpful and kind. They arranged everything for us.

Nice view from the terrace. Room was clean.

While we were out, our hotel room was broken into and we were robbed. The losses include a camera worth approximately $2,500, $380 in cash, and 20,000 yen. The items, which were kept in a backpack in the room, were gone when we returned. We spoke with the owner, but they denied the possibility of theft, insisting it was impossible because the hotel key has no spare copy. There were no security cameras at the hotel entrance, so it was not possible to confirm who entered the room. We also contacted the police and discussed the incident, but in the end, our concerns were dismissed and the case was left unresolved. We still don’t know who broke in and stole our belongings, and the whole experience left us deeply shocked. What should have been a wonderful trip turned into a terrible memory. If you plan to stay here, please be careful not to leave any valuables in your room.

I am a solo female traveller and stayed at Tamara for 3 nights and wished I had stayed the 10 nights and used it as my base instead of Cairo . The property is the closest to the Pyramids with a stunning view, the best in Giza for sure. The place was very clean , spacious rooms and a great veranda over 2 decks with modern furniture. The service was amazing with Waheed and a young lady looking after me with personal service, I felt privileged. The owner Islam was very helpful and very friendly and helped to organize all my trips. I work in 5* luxury properties and without a doubt the service I had here was matching. They are just opening another stunning property within the same land that will be the best in Giza Definetly recommend this place .

Nothing to mention

Nothing - we departed early and complained to booking.com. The pictures and information are not an accurate representation of the hotel room

1. Cleanliness - the cleanliness of the room was substandard. They had clearly done a very basic clean between guests. The trash did not appear to have been emptied in the room. Under the sink of the bathroom one could see dirt. We asked for an extra duvet and they bought one straight out of the room which had only just been vacated that morning. This was not washed from the occupants of that room. The bedding was unclean and there were not sheets on the bedding so clearly does not appear to be washed between each new occupant of the room. Horrible to lie in. 2. Shower - the shower only spit out scalding hot water enough to cause burns or extreme cold water. You have to also hug the wall in order to stand under the shower. Not enough hot water for 3 people who were sharing the room 3. Size of room - incredibly small. With the sofa bed which was deeply uncomfortable not enough space to actually open any luggage. 4. Construction work - there is large scale construction work that the owners of this hotel and his relatives who own the hotel below are undertaking and this is causing some noise. Overall a really horrible stay and we ended up departing 2 nights early as we didn't feel that we could stay any longer. I would say that staying at this hotel is not worth the price (the owner kept saying that it was good value for the view but unless you are planning to spend all night sitting up outside I would avoid). They are clearly not arranging basic things such as cleaning in between guests etc. I would advice that you spend your money on an alternative hotel nearby or in Cairo.

This hotel was perfect in every way. The room was clean, spacious and had the best view a hotel room could have😍. Breakfast was very generous and served on the terrace right in front of the pyramids which was the highlight of our trip. Location was perfect, 5 minutes walk to the Great pyramids entrance The staff were very professional, from start to end they had a cheerful & helpful attitude. Would definitely return & recommend 200%

The manager islam arranged everything to us , pickup and dropoff to airport , tours well organized and worth it to book. The location of this hotel is ideal and the staff are very friendly and were always happy to help. The views from the rooftop are unbelievable, both in the day and night.

Nothing

the view is unmatched , really the only reason we stayed. Evening the owner was around and gave useful tips.

Hotel breakfast is confusing, 3 hotels sharing the terrace and hard to tell what you are getting for Deluxe room was way lesser or poor than some other room types. We checked in late and they were helpful but everything they say has a price. For drop offs they book uber for you but charge almost double fixed price. Do not eat lunch/dinner at hotel -menu card charges 15 USD per item and they bring cold food from a restaurant, whereas if you go out and eat from nearby Pyramids Restaurant nearby .. it is at least 3 times lesser. So watch out what you are doing..book yourselves.eat outside , should be okay.

The break fast is very poor quality. I stay and a very high price when book through booking.com but got different breakfast as identified that to other rooms. The hotel dinner is 10 times higher than good restaurant price. I didn’t advise anybody to select this hotel for stay.

They should charge customer very high price but not get any support. No front desk available. No proper toliet tissue soaps are available. You can’t get any kind of support. The hotel is always ready to loot their customers which is very bad. I hope booking.com should not encourage this type of hotels to advertise inside their website . Totally misguided.

Closest uninterrupted view of pyramids Management and staff very helpful and organised drivers and guides for Cairo attractions best of all also organised taxis to and from Cairo and Luxor airports plus attractions in Luxor as had two nights there

N/A

Unobstructed view of the pyramids from the terrace and rooms. It was just same as the pictures shown. Sunset view was unforgettable. Friendly services and good facilities like hot water, kettle, fridge in room. A few minutes walk to the sphinx gate. They are one of several guesthouses which occupy two buildings next to each other.

Nothing

The view from the room is amazingly good. The manager Islam is a kind and nice guy. He arranged the best private local guide Sami for two days including visit to pyramid complex in Giza, Saqqara pyramid, the Egyptian Museum of Cairo,Citadel and old Cairo. The breakfast is simple but you can experience the simple local taste that we were satisfied enough.

The room was not so cleaner than we expected. In winter season the room is cold in morning and night. So you have to be well prepared.

Fantastic view of Pyramids from common balcony. Clean room. Attentive host.

Small, dated room. Shower.

Great Guide Islam, great rooms and great view. We had a great breakfast every morning and top organized tours in a private car. Islam, moeza and the whole team were always very polite and attentive. I can only recommend the Tamara and will gladly come back.

nothing.

It was as close as possible to the pyramids and the Sphinx. The room was simple but clean and everything was fine. The staff was extremely helpful, there was no problem with our late arrival, they organized a program for us the next day, so they gave us the opportunity to leave the room late.

View didn't disappoint. Close enough to walk to side entrance to pyramids. Own private floor with table and chairs and great view. He has drivers that are on time. He was helpful.

Three nearly four flights of stairs. No lift. Toilet leaked. Seat was very loose, we fixed that. Air con only blew out hot air first night. Was told it was just the way electricity is in Cairo. Made the room 31 degrees at night. Second night told other guy we would be making alternative arrangements if nothing was done about it, he went in, pressed some switch on the wall, re started, all worked. A bit noisy when others are outside taking.

Location was insane! Amazing view of the pyramids right outside on the balcony. Amazing staff, Islam and Youssef were amazingly helpful and attentive. Would 100% recommend this stay.

The tour offered by the hotel ended up costing much more than initially expected because of stopping at tourist-trap factories and stores with an expectation to buy something at each,

- Enjoy the spectacular views of the pyramids - Very welcoming people like Yousef - In spite of the location, they offer rooms with reasonable prices

There were too many flies buzzing in my room and it was quite annoying.

So close to the pyramids Good reception Yousif is very kind guy

Doos not have a lift

Simple nice hotel. Room.was on toproof with nice view..can be a bit hot though.

We found Tamara Pyramids View while searching for hotels near the pyramids in Giza. We stayed at the King Suite which has a window facing the pyramids and it was like a beautiful dream. They also have a tub if you'd like to watch the pyramids while taking a bath. The room is clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. We loved the breakfast with the view on their terrace. They'll make you tasty omelette and fresh and hot falafels. The chef makes delicious foul (their traditional breakfast dish). The staff are really humble and friendly. I am particularly very thankful to Eslam for her kind hospitality and ensuring that our requirements were met. She will make you feel at home and is very friendly. I highly recommend Tamara Pyramids view . We would go back any day :)
