this hotel is probably the most unique hotel in the world as it is the one which you wake u and can actually see the great pyramids from, so close that you think you can reach out and touch them!! ok not that close but you know what i mean.
we stayed here and it is literally awesome how close you are to the pyramids, waking up and seeiing them in their glory, was fantastic. so in this respect, it is a fantastic place to stay.
my advice would be that if you plan to come to cairo for a couple or 3 days from your holiday base n egypt, then split cairo up into 2 parts. downtown where you are near the nile and the hubbub of the city. and Giza, where you see the pyramid, sphinx etc. at Giza, stay overnight in this hotel so you get the best location, at an affordable price.
downsides are that when you book, be very specific about wanting a pyramid view room, as they may put you in a room overlooking the car park if your not specific. also, as with a city area, it can get a bit smoggy but that al part of the exerience. another thing is that it is far from the downtown area of cairo, where there is a lot more to be seen, but you can split up your stay in cairo and spend a nght in a hotel downtown.
advanttages obviously include the lcation at not an extortionate price. the swimming pool is good, staff are good and food wasn too bad. it was great to visit the pyramids, go back to this hotel, and step out in the evening to take in the atmosphere and vibe, and explore the area (if you fancy that sort of thing).
all in all, it is a good hotel, with the location being the best bit about it. if it was located anywhere else, it would be just that, a good hotel. the pyramids really do make it what it is.
