Grand Pyramids Hotel

Hotel wasn't as pushy as others indicated (for taxis, tours, etc.), we were completely independent. Service excellent. Room clean for Egypt. Noise from road not as bad as expected. Nice mall a couple minute walk away, with grocery store in the lowest level. Only weird thing is that they did not provide water for breakfast.

We stayed at the Grand Pyramids and found the location good for our visit to the pyramids as well as the proximity to the train station in Giza. The hotel has everything you need which is good since the surrounding area is not welcoming. Dinner was a bit pricey but the food was varied and tasty.

I stayed in the hotel with my family, (two adults and two kids) for one night. The location is far from the airport or downtown or the Pyramids. There is not much close by. Most of the guest that arrive and leave here do so by taxi or organized tour buses. Be ready to shell out 50 EGP (LE) about 8 USD to go anywhere. There is a small mall close by but […] all they have is clothing shops. There is a small mini-market (grocery store) in the same mall but no restaurants. Other than the location, I loved this hotel. very clean, lots of free amenities. Breakfast is expensive, so make sure it's included in your rate. The Thai restaurant on the premises had good Pad Thai at a reasonable price. Read more

The hotel staff is friendly, although the hotel is located far from downtown Cairo, it is closer to the pyramids. Breakfast was ok, room was comfertable. I lost my luggage on my way to Cario, the hotel staff was very helpful with allowing me calls to the air line office.

During the 2 weeks we traveled in Egypt, we had breakfast in many hotels and trains. The breakfast buffet was by far the BEST at Grand Pyramids. The pool area is very nice, although the water gets warm in the heat of the day. The hotel is located very near a little shopping mall where you can buy bottled water and other drinks/ snacks at Egyptian prices […] (and not tourist prices). It's not worth using the taxi and/ or tour packages offered by the hotel b/c they are very over-priced and pushy. Walking the short block to El Haram Street is worth it- there you will find taxi's for a better price. Also if you are willing, the minibuses are very inexpensive and will take you by lots of restaurants along El Haram Street. The internet in the hotel business center is convenient; however, it is very inflated from a regular internet cafe. The poolside bar has good and inexpensive dinner options. They offer entertainment (live music, dance, etc) and camel rides every night in the courtyard of the hotel around the pool. The noisy activities tend to wind down around midnight. The 24-hour on-site bank and ATM were very convenient for us. The staff in general was friendly and they all seemed to speak English very well. This was the best 4-star hotel that we stayed at in Egypt. Read more

The only thing which you will find useful for this hotel is it's value for money and close proximity to the pyramids. Else this hotel is far from Cairo city center. A big negative for this hotel is its poor customer service ! But not sure if I should complain considering the price I paid for this hotel was not exorbitant.

The hotel was very nice, in a terrible location and with very expensive alcoholic drinks. The staff were a mix, some were very friendly others (like in the bank) were so miserable it was just plain rude.

We got the overnight train from Aswan to Cairo and highly recommend staying out at Giza ofr your first night in Cairo so that you can seemlessly go and visit the pyramids which are only a 20 minute walk form the hotel down an intersting street. The hotel is a generic 4 star hotel with a lovely pool. Rooms are nice and comfortable with all the services […] that you'd expect. My one main complaint - as with most higher end hotels - was the cost of the wifi internet connection - 100 EGP or approx 11GBP for a 24 hour period, which is an absolute rip-off. However, the room was an absolute bargain comparatively speaking, so I guess only a minor problem! Read more

Very convenient hotel for pyramids; good sized room, nicely cleaned. Fruit in room. Disappointed because Thai restaurant closed; food in Italian restaurant average/slow service despite being almost empty

We (two adults and two chlidren) have slept one night in Grand Pyramids hotel in GIZA on january 2011. We asked the receptionist for a taxi to see pyramids. He sent me to the taxi service inside the hotel. The man here asked me 20 €. He said, the taxi driver would drive us to the site and show us all the pyramids and the sphinx in a two hours tour. […] We deal. But the driver stopped at the entry of the site; there were guys waiting; the driver called one of them. His friend wanted us to go in a « far away » building. We refused and he began to be agressive. I gave him some 10 € in order to leave us in peace. But he asked us 60 € more for calling a caleche. I told him it was robbery but he did'nt want to leave us and looked more and more threatening. .Nobody was near So we gave him the money. We were very angry and we told the taxi service in the hotel. He looked surprise (« it's the first time it' happens... ») but he knew what had happened. I think there is tourist rackett in this hotel but it's better not to call Police in egypt... We felt not safely and next day we went quickly to the airport. It doesn't matter, I just lose some money but be careful at giza. Don''t stay here if you are a familly or not in a organised group.

Fint hotell nært pyramidene. God service og hyggelig personale. Litt sjenerende støy fra ringveien som gikk like ved hotell.

このホテルからは、クフ王のピラミッドがすごく大きく見ることができます。ただ、そこに行くまでは、カイロの交通事情の悪さから、20分から25分ぐらいかかります。ホテルの周りは、カイロとしては普通かもしれませんが、きれいとはいえません。ただ、ホテルの中はとてもきれいで、快適に過ごすことができます。なぜかデビットカードがうまく使えなかったのですが、銀行がホテル内にあるので、大変助かりました。空港からは約1時間はかかると思っていいと思います。とにかく、渋滞だらけの町ですので、このホテルに着くまでは大変時間がかかることを覚悟した方がいいかもしれません。町の中、バザールや考古学博物館にすぐいきたい場合は、このホテルはすすめません。とにかくピラミッドを見たい、すぐにいきたい方にはお勧めなホテルです。ホテル内 […] のレストランも、あまり高くなくてよかったです。 Read more

Idéal pour un séjour court, proche des pyramides avec un taxi.

pros: - the room had a big balcony - that's very nice. - the staff was very nice, even though their english was not perfect - the pool is big and nice, a lot of space around the pool - the hotel has a nice souvenirs store (don't listen to the taxi drivers, it's not expensive like they say) - the smoking is allowed in most places, yay! cons: - the wifi […] internet was barely working in my room, thank god there was a regular cable in the room. the speed was 1mbit/s at most. (even with the wire) - the waiters at the restaurant were slow sometimes, but maybe it's a local thing that you have to remind them about yourself sometimes :) - the TV had only one english channel - CNN - the person in charge of taxis was haggling for price and i am sure i have paid twice as much as i should have other thoughts: - most of the guests of the hotel were of the older age, this is not a party hotel - you would not find a better hotel in Giza for under a hundred bucks, despite all the cons i have described :) Read more
