"To establish a successful hotel, particularly one that offers a memorable guest experience, requires careful planning and execution. Consider the following aspects: a welcoming atmosphere, especially for late arrivals; a blend of historical charm and modern amenities; a well-trained and attentive staff, as exemplified by the manager's warm welcome; and the provision of exceptional features, such as a rooftop patio with stunning views and well-appointed rooms. The presence of air conditioning and clean, high-standard bathrooms are essential. This establishment appears to be a remarkable destination."
"The hotel is one of the oldest hotels nearest to the pyramids. It's one minute walking distance to pyramids main entry. As an old infrastructure they tried to renovate at their best but however there may have lacking ie. Lights functioning, lock system etc. But I recommend all for their wholehearted support and generosity towards their guests. They are all the way helpful. You can also book transportation from them, I believe that will reduce your troubles outside with taxi negotiations."
"This hotel truly surpassed my expectations. Its location is excellent, just 50 meters downstairs from the entrance to the Giza Pyramids complex. Compared to the many shabby accommodations in the vicinity, it stood out as the only clean, well-kept, and rather upscale-looking hotel. It's exceptionally clean and tidy, the staff provides excellent service, and the rooms are comfortable, on par with standards expected of a good mid-range hotel chain. Our pyramid-view room offered direct views of the pyramids right from the window. The rooftop restaurant also boasts stunning, direct views of the Giza Pyramids. Breakfast was quite extensive; although predominantly Western fare, the roasted eggplant was particularly delicious. It's almost flawless. If I had to mention a minor point, the rooftop restaurant is quite expensive, with many dishes priced around 70-80 RMB. Luckily, more affordable dining options like KFC and Pizza Hut are conveniently located nearby."
"I recently stayed at Khan DuiDar Inn in Giza and had a pleasant experience. The hotel was very clean, which made for a comfortable stay.
The view of the Pyramids from the terrace was a real highlight and made for a lovely backdrop while relaxing.
The staff were also friendly and helpful, which added to the overall positive vibe of the hotel.
While the neighborhood is quite old and poor, as expected, stepping into the hotel felt like entering a calm oasis.
Overall, I recommend Khan DuiDar Inn for anyone visiting Giza. It’s a clean, welcoming place with great views!"
"The room was incredibly large and the location was fantastic. The staff helped carry our luggage upstairs. You'd never guess how great the location is! Just a short walk to the entrance to the Sphinx, which was highly recommended on Xiaohongshu. I'm honored to be the third guest at this hotel. The bathroom was enormous, even bigger than my dorm at school. The photo shows the view from the hotel rooftop."
"The location is great. You can see the pyramids and the Sphinx from the balcony of the room. The restaurant is completely facing the landscape, and you can see the pyramid light show at night! The breakfast is also delicious, and the staff service is also good. It would be more perfect if the electric water heater is changed to a larger capacity one."
"The room was dusty upon check-in. The toilet smells terrible with molds around the corner. You can smell the cigarette into your room from across the hallway. The hotel staff are friendly & approachable. They provide disposable hotel slippers & water dispenser hot & cold functions. For the hotel, I recommend having a power generator incase of power blackouts."
"Bardzo miła rodzinna obsługa. Cenne wskazówki, na co uważać. Pokoje czyste, z klimatyzacją ustawioną na 24c czyli idealnie. Woda bez limitu. Ładny widok, śniadanie na tarasie. Polecam"
"Très déçu à notre arrivée ; nous avions réservé une chambre quadruple de luxe mais on nous a dit qu elle était endommagé et nous nous sommes retrouvé dans 2 chambres ( une simple et une double) séparant la famille. Trop fatiguée, nous avons accepté pour la nuit.
Le lendemain on avait réservé une chambre beaucoup plus cher pour profité du jaccusi. La encore la chambre n était pas accessible et on nous a mis dans une chambre avec vue sur les pyramide. Je n aurais jamais payé si cher pour ça. Après longues négociations j ai eut un petit remboursement.
Mais l hotel est très bien, les petits déjeuner super vu sur les pyramides. Ils se plie en 4 pour vous ( on a rechangé de chambre car trop de bruits de klaxons et ils ont tout fait pour que cela se passe bien.
Quartier très animé le soir et très locale ; on y mange pour rien"
Very Good

EEsee MunkhIf this hotel is in your budget, JUST BOOK IT! You can’t find any hotel that is better than this. I swear, Al Farida is one of the 2 best hotels in Giza!
I was searching for a Giza hotel for over 2 weeks, yet couldn’t find any. Decided to get a hotel after I arrive in Giza by seeing with my own eyes and chose this one.
THIS HOTEL IS BRAND NEW, 2 months old as of January, 2025. When you enter the room, you’d smell wood from new furnitures, very pleasant. Shower is nice, instantly hot.
Location is very good, 50-100 meters from the entrance of Giza Pyramids but no smell of horse and camel dung. As it’s so close to the pyramids, the view from the rooftop is breathtaking as well…
Staff are amazing as well. Lovely Muhamed (both), Eslam, Tahir… They’re all fantastic, will make your stay great. Also, you’ll see the cutest bellboys there (only 15,17 years old).
In short, JUST BOOK IT. Hotel rooms look exactly like on the pics. Don’t hesitate. Trust me!
Minor issues to fix: Curtains were half in our room, breakfast and food takes more than 30 minutes.
GGuest UserVery very happy with this hotel. It is very clean. Modern. There is very comfortable bedroom. Proposes socks and what is needed for the bathroom. Great view from the terrace on the pyramids. Personnel very listening. They were all there for us . They offered us an airport ship for not gallery . I recommend without hesitation. Thanks to the entire team
MMianbaojiuThe B&B is only ten minutes drive from the entrance of the pyramids. The location is very good. The guy at the front desk is very friendly. The B&B is clean and tidy. You can see the three pyramids and the Sphinx from the room and the rooftop terrace. The key is the price. Not bad~ There is only one entrance on the first floor of the B&B. The front desk is upstairs. When you get to the door, just open the door or ring the doorbell~
GGuest UserThe location of the hotel was definitely convenient — it’s very close to the train station, and there’s even a convenience store just a minute's walk away, which made grabbing essentials really easy. Every day, I could see the pyramids from my room, which was absolutely amazing and definitely the highlight of my stay.
The hotel staff were also very kind and helpful, always willing to assist with anything I needed. However, despite these positives, the hotel itself was quite disappointing in terms of cleanliness. The lobby and hallways felt a bit neglected, and my room didn’t seem very well maintained — the carpet looked worn out and there was a musty smell that lingered throughout my stay.
Also, even though the location is great, the entrance to the hotel was hard to find and had an uninviting atmosphere that made me hesitate before going in. Overall, it’s a place with some unforgettable views and kind staff, but if you care a lot about cleanliness and overall atmosphere, it might not be the best choice.
SSkee82Staff Amazingly friendly and helpful, The views are incredible from room to resturant to roof top, where i got to watch and hear the evening light show in fully glory.
Booked for my 1st 2nights in Egypt, perfect location in front of the sphinx side entrance to the plateau, literally a 2 min walk..
This side of Giza is rough and ready though.. with animals being housed on the ally leading to the entrance so expect the smell of horse and camel poo (which wasn’t a problem once in the hotel) also expect to be bothered a lot by the local hustlers and kids begging for something/anything..
The streets are noisy and hectic this side but you also get a more authentic Giza experience,
The Hotels staff were super accommodating and welcoming, they were willing to help organise trips and guides but I wasn’t in need as i already had stuff arranged..
Breakfast was basic but enough to get your day of adventure started with plenty of option around for off site dinning.
The best thing apart from the staff was the view tho.. with all 3 great pyramids and sphinx in view and close enough to get the full effect inc the sounds of the light show.
Would recommend for a cheap budget stay close to the entrance of the plateau with the best views
AAkkarpanLocation, location, location! Mohammed and Mustafa and staff are lovely and the best thing about this is location. Also, AC is great and hot water in shower, all really good things. Splurge and get the balcony, because if you get the $15 room, it’s an inside room - read everything carefully. But the balcony gives you breakfast with the pyramids. A couple of doors over there is heaven‘s lounge which you can get beer and alcohol at which is lovely to spend the evenings at with wine under the pyramids. You will get nothing of that here. I do have a bit of a bone to pick with trip.com because they didn’t do their research as there is no restaurant, there is no bar and there is no pool or gym in this place, which is why I downgraded the amenities. However if you were going to Giza for the pyramids, this is the place. Yes it is right behind the camel and the horse staging area so from 8 o’clock in the morning till quitting time which is 4 o’clock in the afternoon, you will have the authentic experience. If you do not like trash, if you do not like dust, if you do not like smells, you should probably just not be coming to Egypt in general! Because it is everywhere. However, if you want the authentic experience at the base of the pyramids, this is the place. Oh, and the Internet is crap… So just make sure you have a really good cellular plan because it’s no better anywhere else in Egypt either.  From our experience, and we have traveled everywhere, the left over British colonies just don’t have a really great Wi-Fi infrastructure. 
GGuest UserGreat budget hotel with unparalleled views of the Giza Complex. Stay at this hotel for the view, not for the amenities. Firstly, the shower area in the bathroom had an issue where every time you would take a shower, the water would leak from the shower area and flood the whole bathroom. Secondly, the inclusive breakfast is not a buffet and the staff would take ages to prepare everything which is not ideal when most guests have early morning tours. It took between 15-25 minutes to receive the breakfast which made us rush to get ready for the tour.
Cleanliness is also a minor issue. The rooms were fine but the lobby and the common areas were quite dirty. They were also doing some construction and there was sand everywhere.
캐캐서린 운구랴누The staff is excellent, the hotel is located near the pyramids. The hotel offers excursions. The room is dirty, they did not clean it, the trash was not taken out. You always have to ask for water. The view from the terrace to the pyramids is good, the main thing is not to pay attention to the streets and other buildings ... The local supermarket is close by, it is convenient to buy what you need, but the hotel also has a menu. There was no price, no robe, no slippers in the room. The wardrobe and safe are broken. The noise from the street and neighboring rooms is unreal. It is impossible to sleep ....
Llucila Del Rosario RomeroStaying at Phoenix pyramids View it filled me with great joy to be in this hotel, and share with all its staff. And it's super cheap. The fresh, nutritious and very varied breakfast. Since before my arrival in Egypt, they were very careful that everything was fine. The service from the airport to the hotel was completely free. Then upon arrival, Mr. Hany gave me a small tour around the area and introduced me to his friends from other hotels and businesses around, who kindly and as a courtesy gift gave me fruits and water. In the morning an excellent breakfast with the spectacular view and unique of the great Pyramids. The tours they offer are different places and you can feel in this hotel like your home and with your family. Thank you d do o much to Mr Hany (from Human Resources management) Hossam (the driver) and all the people who is part of the staffs. Shukran jazilan. Hamdoullah! I hope to see all of you soon INCHALLAH 🪴🙏
GGuest UserThe hotel's selling point is the pyramid that can be seen from the rooftop.
It's a shame that the shower in the room was cold.
The building is not on the street and is set back a little.
