4.0 star rating | The location was stunning, with views of the pyramids from many areas, even if not staying in a Pyramid View room. The balcony to our Garden View room was private and we could not hear any noise from the adjacent rooms. The communal areas were nicely presented and the gardens well tended. 24-hour currency exchange services and eating available. The staff were friendly and courteous. | The bathroom of the Garden View room we were in was a little shabby and quite small. The main pool was unheated and very deep in parts. | AW | 24 April 2009 |
4.5 star rating | The Indian restaurant was the best we have ever been to, all the others restaurants in the hotel were average. | 01 June 2009 | ||
5.0 star rating | This hotel is wonderful! It has history, charm, a great location, wonderfully helpful staff, the food is excellent, the entertainment is first class and the rooms were wonderful (especially Room 1012 which has two balconies and an excellent view of the Great Pyramid!) | The pool is a little dated, but I think there are plans for renovations. The nightclub was closed. | Roasapee | 24 June 2009 |
4.0 star rating | Great setting right next to the pyramids, the old part of the hotel is full of character | Shame the breakfast room is windowless, so can't enjoy the view or sit outside (there is a non-inclusive option in nicer setting...) | steph25uk | 06 April 2010 |
4.0 star rating | A special and unique hotel with fantastic decor. Friendly staff always helpful and ready to please, also very professional. Room was comfortable with of course fabulous views. | The breakfast was very lacklustre. Poor presentation (dark, needed lights). Poor variety, poor fruit variety and quality. Cold meats unappetising and looked dry at edges. Poor bread selection and presentation. Coffee was tasteless, however staff should inform guests that , espresso and other coffees available on request. The breakfast manager was very helpful and friendly and worked very hard to ensure our breakfast experience was the best it could be and I commend her for being so gracious to us. | 21 August 2010 |
