Independent Cairo hotels

"This was my first visit to Egypt, and my decision to stay at Great Pyramid Inn made my trip worthwhile. I was worried about avoiding scams, food poisoning, and local dangers in general, and the staff there took great care of me. The food at the hotel was clean and reliable, the rooms were well-kept, and every service I requested of them was perfectly executed. We decided to take a tour recommended by the staff, and it was a great decision. Our guide didn't try to pressure us and brought us to some less touristy shops. They provided a van for the day with a safe driver. It was a great value for the price! The hotel also helped us organize other transportation which was much more safe and reliable than trying to organize it ourselves through Uber or taxi. If I return to Egypt, I will definitely be staying here again! "

"The staff is really nice and helpful Very hospitable High quality amenities "

"Giza pyramids Inn was exactly what I had hoped for from the description of the booking online. We arranged airport pickup and the driver was there for us on time to take us to the hotel. The rooftop is perfect for a panoramic view of the Giza pyramids and is right next door to Rooftop 7000 which is where we dined. All our needs were met and the staff was friendly. "

"Didn't use shuttle. Very clean. Breakfast was very good"

"One of the best experiences I had. Walking distance to pyramid park, the food they served for dinner is amazing, and they gave me the best treatment before I left and during stay. Super friendly, helpful, kind, and accommodating. I will stay here again "

"Great stay!"

"I stayed at Marriott Mena House and it exceeded all expectations. The location is perfect, just steps away from the Pyramids of Giza, with the most incredible view you can imagine. My room looked directly at the Great Pyramid and waking up to that sight was absolutely unforgettable. The property is well maintained with lush gardens, a beautiful pool, and a blend of modern comfort and historic charm. Service was excellent. Staff were attentive, friendly, and always willing to help. Breakfast overlooking the pyramids was another highlight of my stay. If you visit, I recommend booking a Pyramid View room. It is more expensive but worth every cent for the once-in-a-lifetime experience. Overall, this is the best hotel in Giza and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cairo."

"The entire staff goes above and beyond. Special shout out to Maria in the pink jacket! House keeping was great. Restaurants were nice. Pool attendants did a great job. This property was under some mild construction but you will easily forgive that for the rich palace history and amazing detail. Very happy with our stay."

"As always, this stay was such a treat. The property is lovely, expansive, and very central, with a large variety of dining options. I was in town for two nights before traveling to their Sharm property for a weeklong stay. The real highlight of the stay is, unsurprisingly, the amazing staff. Our drop off and in-room check-in were well-coreographed and well-executed. The thoughtful touches from housekeeping are always delightful too (e.g., bookmarks in my books, a Four Seasons-branded cloth for my glasses, etc.). The concierge was magnificent and endlessly helpful. We mentioned in passing that my traveling companion had some stomach issues (the kind you dread getting abroad), and the concierge had the pharmacy deliver medicine for my friend, and later called the room to offer complimentary chicken soup and chamomile tea. The next night, we dined at Byblos, and the staff there were standouts too. My companion was still dealing with stomach issues and couldn't finish his dinner, so the manager took the plate off our check and gave my friend a complimentary pot of chamomile tea (all without being asked). Everyone knew or quickly memorized our names and every member of the staff was all smiles at all times. It was the same standard of excellence all across the board. Overall another strong showing by the Four Seasons (most recently I spent a week at their property in Florence, if that's helpful context for my standard of comparison here). Thank you to the Nile Plaza team."
