It is my second stay at Sphinx Guesthouse after 2017. For me, it has the best view to the Sphinx and the Pyramids. Rooms are big with great views. Evening time you can watch the Sound & Light Show for free. I arrived at 3 am and already got my room. Nice food also on the rooftop terrace.

Reacomodação em outro hostel.

Ao fazer o check in, solicitaram aguardar por 30 minutos. Após, conversaram e me acomodou em outro hostel próximo. Fiquei decepcionada pois reservei com o hotel e reacomodaram em outro. Tudo bem que deram suporte para a reacomodação.

Our room was at the roof top (also where breakfast is served) with the great view of the pyramid. You also get to see the sound and light show from here. Rooms are renovated and breakfast was good. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Duvets have stains and one of the bathrooms has poor drainage. Overall we had a pleasant stay. Will highly recommend especially if you want room with the great view of the pyramid.

What is not to love. The roif terrace faces the pyramids,its just wonderful. Staying here was a highlight for me. The rooms are clean and modern, everything you need including a kettle and excellent shower. The road is a bit noisy, but thats Cairo, and the general location outshines everything. The staff are lovely, would highly recommend!

During my stay at this hotel I was almost sexually assaulted by the hotel manager. To be fair this is probably not a problem you’d run into if you’re not a solo female traveler, but it was still a very scary situation that unfortunately ruined my trip. If you decide to stay here please be careful of Hytham.

What a view!

Amazing hotel. The view was breathtaking and the service was outstanding. We watched the light show at dusk from the terrace. Ate a delicious breakfast while gazing out at the pyramids. They even escorted us to their favorite felafel restaurant where we ate 6 different times. This hotel was a highlight of our experience in Egypt.

おすすめしません

名前が変わったのか見つけにくく大変まぎらわしい。またオーナーも変わったのか、部屋は広く普通だが、チェックインの対応、サービスが、悪気はないのだろうがproffesional とは到底言いがたい。２泊に予約していたが、一泊で他の宿に移動した。

Overbooked happened, be aware no guarantee

We booked the room already, but was told there were no room for us when check in. It seems like rooms are over-booked and not only happened to us. We also meet another travelers faced the same issues.
