Giza Pyramids Inn

The staff was very pleasant and had great customer service, always saying hello and asking if you needed anything. Bottled water provided daily, the A/C in the room was nice and cold, shower water hot, good wifi. The rooftop is the main reason I picked the hotel, right in front of the Sphinx and Pyramids. Watching the light and sound show at night, great photos at sundown and the free breakfast was a nice touch. I only had it one day because it wasn't my idea of breakfast which consisted of BBQ potato chips, cold French fries, but also had bread, jelly, cream cheese, hard boiled egg, whole mango, falafel and sliced tomato, olives and cucumbers. The rate included a free ride from the airport to the hotel which was about an hour away so that was a great convenience (although the $25 US dollar charge back to the airport was a bit steep when you could take UBER for half the price). Rami the driver was excellent and I thank the staff for their hospitality

Unfortunately the area in Giza is very poor and dirty, when you walk out the hotel and try to walk around the area and to the pyramids (one entrance right in front of the hotel, but most people and the tours use the main entrance and ticket booth on the opposite side of the complex) you are hassled with the locals trying to get you to buy things, take a tour, ride a horse or camel. The smell of the horse and camel poop was overwhelming, even 6 floors up on the roof of the hotel. If you can get past this, it's okay to stay for 1 or 2 nights. When I checked in at 0100 before I could get my room, I had to get the rundown of every tour the hotel offered and the prices. I just wanted to get to room and to my bed, not sit thru a sales pitch of trying to add onto my room charge. I had prebooked tours which were cheaper than what the hotel had, but it can be a good last minute thing if you need something to do. I did decide to do the Nile river dinner sunset cruise they offered for $70, which was okay. Bring USA dollars if you're going to pay in cash, and all charges on a credit card are charged in US currency along with a surcharge fee and whatever they say the local exchange rate is (which was a little more than what was shown on my currency exchange app)

Location amazing food very good and staff very friendly and helpful
