Mohamed was incredible. Greatly appreciated his honesty. He and his family are lovely. His mother cleans clothes for 15 Egyptian pounds per item which at the time of this writing was a little less than 50 cents which is a great deal. She also does an incredible job, cleaning my youngest daughter's coat which I thought was irretrievably stained. To save a ton of money, I would have been better off just coming to Life Pyramids and then booking everything through Mohamed. One thing to know about Egypt is that all the tours are basically the same. Only difference is private vs huge group. They hit all the same spots and basically say all the same things.

Giza is not the best neighborhood. Lots of pushy sellers. But it is very close to the pyramids and I'm very glad I didn't waste money on the light show since it was not that good and we could see it from the roof.

Great location, AMAZING views. Was a bit worried about the smell from the horses and camels based on other reviews, but this didn't bother us at all. Very very friendly family, complementary bottled water whenever you want. The owner would always go out of his way to ensure we have a great stay, and even gave us hints on how to negotiate with souvenir sellers. Other reviews say that extra trips are pushed, but I would say that the owner is just really enthusiastic and wants to help you enjoy your stay, if you don't want to do any of the trips, he won't force you to. Excellent value for money. We even got a free upgrade.

I rarely rate any stay a 9/10 but, in this case, nine is very well justified. My overall impression of the place was that the owners/managers are quite considerate. We got an upgrade (without charges), we needed extra time during check out and they agreed (again, without charges), the room had all 3 types of plug points for our devices, there were breakfast boxes available for people leaving early in the morning for a trip. The place is family owned and operated. They have a decent breakfast spread in the morning. And they provide you unlimited bottles of water (its hot outside, you will need them). Overall, wonderful staff, good breakfast, and very considerate attitude.

Nothing to not like

Fantastic hotel, made even better by the hospitality of the owner Mr Mohamed and his family - location top notch: the view of pyramids from the hotel rooftop every morning at breakfast is amazing - hotel and room has everything you need - very comfortable What makes the difference is the owner Mr Mohamed and his family - who go out of their way to help you and make you feel at home. He helped me get a car-driver at last minute at a very good price, helped with helpful tips on each of the key sights, restaurant recommendations etc etc The free water bottles throughout your stay is always welcome.

This inn is absolutely wonderful! From the warm welcome to the excellent service and breathtaking views, everything was perfect. While the facilities are simple, the rooms are clean and comfortable. There were a few ants, but that didn’t bother me at all. The location is fantastic, and the price is very affordable, making it an ideal choice for travelers looking for a budget-friendly yet well-located stay. A special shoutout to Abu at the front desk—he is incredibly kind and welcoming. Staying here was a great experience, and I’m so happy I chose this place. Highly recommended!

The room is rather modern and well-maintained. I don't know why some reviews mentioned dirty bedsheets. Everything in my room was super clean. The owner was very friendly throughout. He also wasn't interested in selling additional tours to me, which I appreciate. Everybody at the hostel was extra helpful. When I had to leave early the next day, the hostel prepared a breakfast package for me at 6:45 am. The location is great with a good view of the pyramids.

The only minus was how there might be a bit of noise if your room is situated along the corridor of the multi-story house. There was no noise from the outside though.

The staff were very helpful. Message them a day or so before you arrive to arrange an airport taxi with no hassle. They will also help you with tours. The young women serving breakfast and cleaning are charming. Beds were comfortable and clean. We had a pyramid view from our room and you can see them from the rooftop lounge. You can see and hear the sight and sound show from the rooftop lounge. Location is good and very close to one of the entrances to the Pyramids. Yes, you can smell the camel and horses when outside the hotel but you will get that anywhere in this neighborhood. It is very easy to find a taxi to go to the new GEM museum or Cairo museum or ask staff to book one for you.

Excellent option for staying really close to the pyramids, even if it is not in the first line, the views are amazing. Having breakfast or just chilling in the evening at the terrace, is incredible and a must for once in a lifetime. The personnel is really caring, they allowed be to check in a bit earlier as my flight arrived in the morning, and also there was always free water available to ask for.

Maybe just the area of Giza, after dark when the pyramids close, there is only a street with restaurants and lots of shops, but the rest of the streets are really dark and not very much meant for taking a walk.

This family run hotel is amazing. The staff will do anything to help you, they're extremely kind and helpful. The position is just perfect, in front of the pyramids, less than 5 minutes walking from the entrance. The food available at the hotel is very tasty. The rooms are comfortable and very clean, the bathroom has everything you need. The rooftop will delight you with the view on the pyramids. I couldn't be happier with my choice of this hotel! I definitely recommend it to everyone!

Everything was perfect.

very well located close to one of the entrances to the pyramids. - run by a family who was very kind and spoke good English. - our room was small but enough for us. The beds were comfortable and we had no issues with anything. - there are restaurants and shops nearby but just note that they are mostly for tourists. If you want to head into the city then just take Uber. - the rooftop has a great view of the pyramids and it's a great place to have breakfast or just to hangout. - the family prepared breakfast for us to takeaway before our early morning flight.
