I stayed here for 5 nights in a balcony pyramid view room and had a great experience overall.

The biggest selling point of this place is the view. Waking up with coffee while looking directly at the pyramids and ending the day watching the sunset made the stay worth it by itself.

Murad, the owner, was incredibly kind and helpful. He would check in throughout my stay and even text if he hadn’t seen me in a while just to make sure I was okay or needed anything. I already had my itinerary planned, but he was always available if I needed transportation, changes, or advice.

The staff were also attentive and regularly asked if I needed coffee or anything else.

I want to set expectations correctly: this is not the Hilton or Mena House. This is a budget-friendly place near the pyramids. If you expect luxury resort amenities, book elsewhere and pay accordingly.

For what this place is, it delivers. My room was clean, had reliable hot water, electricity, excellent adjustable AC, and I was surprised by how quiet it was. The bed was comfortable and there were extra pillows available.

Location was excellent—about 5 minutes to the pyramids, cheap Uber rides, and plenty of food within walking distance.

At around $30/night, this felt like an incredible value. I would absolutely stay here again.

Had a Great stay at Golden pyramids. View of Giza pyramids amazing. Mourad the manager was very helpful. He contacted me by WhatsApp before leaving uk. I booked tour guide and driver. This was all organised for when i arrived. Tour guide Yousuf was fully qualified and accredited. He was amazing. Looked after my daughter and me like family. Highly recommend. Only mistake was to not have a tour guide for Giza pyramids. Beware of scammers and hawkers for camel rides etc. Mourad could not do enough for us. Thank You!!!

The hotel rooms are on the 4th / 5th floor, be aware there is no lift
We booked the hotel because of the view of the pyramids, and you certainly will not be disappointed with the view from the top floor and breakfast balcony
We had seen reviews regarding the cleanliness of the stairs up to the hotel, and they are dirty, but the hotel floors and area is clean and well kept
The staff were excellent, very courteous and helpful, particularly Mourad who met us on arrival, and was around if we needed help with anything
The streets surrounding the hotel are very dirty but that could be said for most of Cairo that we saw, although we were often approached by locals asking if we needed help, we never felt unsafe in the local area
It is a 2 minute walk to the entrance to the pyramids, and a 10 minute taxi ride to the new Grand Egyptian Museum and there are local cafes and restaurants in the area
Back to the view, we stayed over New Year, which was an incredible evening, all the hotels have there own fireworks, parties and music, with a back drop of the pyramids, absolutely sensational
Thank you Mourad for your help during our stay

Great location within walking distance of the Pyramid ticket entrance. The terrace and room offer an incredible pyramid view, and the staff were very friendly.

Be aware that rooms are on the 5th floor with no elevator. The room lighting was very dark, no soap was provided, and we had to use shampoo as hand wash, which left our hands very dry. Although the room and hotel floor were clean and nice, the building entrance and shared staircases (2nd and 3rd floors) were dirty, muddy, and cluttered with garbage, spilled food, and rolled carpets.

Despite these issues, the stunning pyramid views from the terrace and room made up for the negatives.

One week before my check-in I was in Cairo already and visited the hotel to see the accommodations. I was told by the manager that I could not see because there was no rooms available to show. I reinforced that I had a reservation for the next week and would be there late. He said that was ok and I would have my room ready when. Guess what? I got there on my day of check in 2am and they told me they have no rooms available, even tough I have a paid reservation, and I should cancel my reservation and find another hotel at 2 in the morning. Are you going to take a risk? I would not.

The view from the terrace was very nice and the breakfast was okay. Although the room was very dirty, it looked like they haven't vacuumed in months and there was a brown stain in the bed. Half of the staff don't speak English and as soon as we arrived they tried to sell us their very expensive day trips which you can find anywhere else for half price.

We would highly recommend staying at Golden Pyramids Inn. It is hard to describe all the positives but we will highlight the key. 1. Amazing location - rooms facing pyramids are literally overlooking Sphinx & Pyramids and allow for private enjoyment in the morning (where there is still no crowds) and in the evenings (to watch the Light & Sound show and see pyramids lit up in color) 2. Amazing attentive, personal service - Mahmoud as an operations coordinator will arrange everything for you (tours, transportation, shopping), fully customized, hassle free and at good price, He is very responsive and fast; Ahmed at the rooftop is just an amazing, warm, and kind person - it was like visiting with family - he will always greet you will a big smile and can arrange for you the best view in the house (and a bottle of Egyptian wine)!; and Breakfast is a feast - definitely great value for money 4. Clean, safe, friendly, convenient and hassle free and free wifi every where - all that you may want from your stay in Giza. We will definitely be back.

The owner of this hotel is very, very shady. He will con you into buying his very disappointing trips with expensive guides who will rush you through trips and who don’t possess much knowledge in the areas toured. If he says he is “helping” you, you should run. Also, this same owner banged on my door for 30 minutes straight when he was upset about my complaint. I was afraid to come out, but eventually I had packed all my things and ran out to go to another hotel. The rooftop view is absolutely great, but this is not a safe hotel for anyone really, but especially for foreigners.

The only valuable thing about this ''hotel'' is a terace from photo they show in each their advertisment. It is a breakfast place.They invested money to turn the house into the hotel. For Egyptian conditions, it was note small amount, but conditions in what they are keeping their ''hotel'' is not appropriate. Room was not so clean and floor was not vacuumed well . However, this wasnt a big problem and we wouldnt comment it if toilet was fine, but it wasnt. It was too small and not clean. Lot of calc everywere.

With rference to their photo of breakfast... forget it. They are serving some bread, bit of cheese, one egg, bit of yogurt and bit of juice. That's all.

Overall, better accommodation could be found for less money.

Het uitzicht was top. De mensen die er werken lief, maar zoals te zien was op fotoswas er: geen bad, geen champoo of zeep. Wel een waterkoker, maar geen koffie of thee. Geen afstandsbediening voor de tv. 2 keer om gevraagd. Niet gekregen. Douche werkte niet goed. Wastafel kraan zat los. Puinhoop op de trap naar boven. Ontbijt was wel oke, maar niet wat op de foto's staat ik had geboekt inclusief transfer heen en terug naar het vliegveld. Heen is na gedoe geregeld maar terug moesten we zelf betalen. . Afgebladderde verf op de deur. Kortom het plaatje wat geschetst wordt klopt helemaal niet. We zijn gebleven, maar voelen ons voor de gek gehouden!

Lugar horrível

Fuja daqui. O dono e o gerente fazem assédio moral para receber mais dinheiro. Reservei um quarto com vista para as pirâmides mas exigiram 100 dólares pra fica no quarto. Como não paguei, me mudaram de quarto pra um inferior para as outras noites (se não concordasse, eles me colocariam pra fora do hotel e isso falado aos berros). Restaurante caríssimo: água 1 dólar, sanduíche 6 dólares. Fora do hotel tudo é 1/4 do valor. Passeios caríssimos (não aceitei). E o pior: recebi um e-mail dizendo que o pick up ou drop off seriam cortesia caso tivesse 3 noites ou mais reservadas. Nada disso: me cobraram 21 dólares. Staff intimidadora, ameaçadora e descortês (exceção: as senhoras do café da manhã). Nunca mais ponho os meus pés la e contra indico a todos.

Very noisy place

I booked this hotel because of the good reviews and the price.

This hotel is EXTREMELY noisy. Noise from both outside, which you cannot do so much about, but also from inside which is the part I can't justify. The workers of the place were making extreme noises such as hammering at 22:00 and playing loud music way past sleeping time.

The neighborhood is also full of stray dogs that bark constantly in the night. It was imposible to sleep and rest in this place.

The room condition is, let's say, ready to be demolished. The toilets work if you know how to fix them, the shower leaks. Bring an extender cord to have enough electricity outlets.

They tried to push and press us to buy tours from them and wouldnt take no for an answer. I felt uncomfortable here during all my stay.

Also the internet was extremely crappy, it was like trying to surf in the 90's with a telephone modem. I felt trapped here without proper internet and with noise ALL THE TIME.

The only good thing about this place is the view of the pyramids.

They changed our room 2 days in of the 4 days we were staying, I don't know why, to a room that had no air conditioning. So there we were with no internet and no air conditioning with an outside temperature of 30 degrees.

We had to press to get another room with air conditioning... And in the end when we left they demanded a tip for all the \"help\" we got...

You can even attend the night show (7pm) from the hotel.
We had a heartwarming welcome by the staff. They were really keen to help us.
