When I had booked the Royal Great Pyramid Inn due to the close proximity to the Pyramids. The hotel is right in front of the New Grand Egyptian Museum which is so convenient. Youssef and his staff were amazing hosts and I felt very comfortable with them. The rooms are updated and very clean. Breakfast is included which was a plus. I recommend this property.

It was a very average hotel. The room surely has had a pet in it before because I am
Allergic to pets and I got an allergy reaction. Also the bedding surely had a pets fur on it because I woke up
Both mornings with a swollen face and sneezing.
Be careful of them offering you a car. There is uber in Cairo and dramatically cheaper.

They wanted to charge us a lot for a small drive.

The food is average I. Their restaurant is nice roof top. But there is no alcohol
We ordered wine and beer but paid a lot for it.

It’s very convenient for the museum and pyramids

If you’re planning a trip to Cairo Egypt especially the GEM, Spinx or Pyramids Royal has the best views! Yosef arranged all my tour and guides, ticket purchases, wake up calls, pickup and drop offs he just goes above and beyond to make sure you are pleased. The staff are amazing. Very friendly people and work together making every guest feel welcomed while meeting their needs. The kindness and affection I’ve received was phenomenal. Also visit the rooftop restaurant they have a variety of delicious foods and very hospitable.

However the shower floods every time it was used - the drain was so ineffective at draining it just overflows.

Location is highly desirable. On major highway, but across from GEM, and down the street from pyramids. Airport pickup (not drop off) is complimentary; as is the daily breakfast buffet at rooftop restaurant. Staff is very friendly and hospitable, coordinating before your check in to plan your trip in Giza (thank you Kareem & Youssef). Water pressure was fantastic, hot water in the evenings. Limited channels on tv. Firm mattress. Beautiful views of the GEM from our suite, lit up at night and able to see the pyramids too.

Despite the warm welcome and the helpful staff there are quite a few issues at this hotel. The first thing to be aware of is that it is right next to a busy highway which has traffic on it throughout the night and if you stay in the fifth floor, as we did, they have single-glazed only windows, which also feature openings so you are disturbed by the traffic all night, not great if you are a light sleeper.
The staff kindly moved us to the second floor where there is additional glazing that cuts the noise significantly, a godsend. The second issue is that despite the claim of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) being only a three minute walk away, is currently incorrect as the Egyptian government is set to complete the Metro station and associated subway to the museum, leaving you to take the chances with the busy traffic, which you might have got a taste of during your complimentary ride to the hotel or take an 5-8 minute taxi/Uber journey. Furthermore the long-awaited walkway to the Pyramids from the GEM is also not yet open requiring another taxi ride there too. It will all be finished eventually and then this hotel will be in a great spot to take advantage, but until then, you can do better.

Property is so conveniently located near the GE Museum. Room was very spacious and clean, when you open the window you can see GEM and pyramids, amazing view! Sauna tub inside the room takes some getting used to.

Two cons:
1. They add 12% service charge but one of the server said the property keeps all of it and they get nothing and asked for additional tip, which sucks if true that property keeps all of the service charge they collect
2. As with any tourist place be careful with the add on packages, they try to over charge you need to negotiate it down

While the hotel was satisfactory, the excessive noise levels significantly disrupted my sleep.
Although advertised as a 35-minute commute to Cairo, the actual travel time was approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
The staff were exceptionally courteous and accommodating, however, the lack of restful sleep negatively impacted the overall experience.

The bedding was quite terrible — rough and scratchy, almost uncomfortable to sleep on. The beds themselves were very firm, which seems to be common in Egypt.

The hotel overall is cute, with a charming design and a great location directly across from the GEM (Grand Egyptian Museum). However, I wouldn’t recommend crossing the street to get there, it’s a major road with fast traffic, so you’ll need someone to drive you. The rooftop has a great view of the pyramids, which is definitely a highlight.

The staff was fantastic overall. We didn’t try much of the food, but what we did have, we enjoyed. The only downside was the man at the front desk — he was rude and dismissive, which stood out because everyone else was so kind.

They offer airport pickup, but our experience wasn’t great. The car that picked us up was old, dirty, had no seatbelts, and smelled strongly of exhaust. The 45-minute ride felt unsafe and unpleasant — not what you want after a long flight. While the website mentions airport transfer, when we requested a ride back to the airport, they tried to charge us $30, even though an Uber costs around $6.

The hotel also advertises “one excursion per day” on their Expedia listing, but when asked, the staff said that’s not something they actually offer. They do arrange excursions, but they’re priced at high, American-style rates.

Overall, I’d rate this hotel three stars. It’s not a four- or five-star experience, but it is a safe, clean place with a wonderful view

The rooms and beds are very modern, cleana nd nice. BUt it is right on a major highway with thin windows, so all night I could hear trucks, horns and eventually the call to prayer. Cut my visit short after one night and moved to another hotel. Also, the new GEM is \"across the street\" but the street is a highway...you need a ride. Hotel offered $30 round trip. Uber did it for anout $1.25 each way. To the airport? Hotel quoted $50. Uber was less than $10.

Good accommodations and the roof top restaurant has a great view of GEM and a few pyramids. Booked here because website states 3 min walk to the GEM. However GEM is across Cairo Road, 2 lanes of traffic and concrete barriers. Advised to use their shuttle for $10 each way. We did. Uber probably cheaper. Shuttle from airport was free but $25 to return. We Uber'ed for about $9.

The view of the pyramids are phenomenal, especially from the rooftop restaurant. The newly built Grand Egyptian Museum is directly across the road and is also a fantastic piece of architecture.
The staff are all so kind and overly accommodating. They kindly converted our international cash to Egyptian pounds at the rate shown on Google with no conversion fee.
Youssef kindly reached out to me in advance to get my flight details and had a courtesy driver waiting for us when we arrived. He also made sure we had a driver available when returning to the airport and provided a late check out due to our late flight.
Overall, I can’t speak highly enough of how accommodating the staff were. Hands down 10 highly recommend!

The staff were very nice and friendly, especially Marium, who went out of her way to help me. When my Uber driver to the airport started messaging me asking for more money, I had to cancel the ride. Marium kindly arranged a taxi for me, which ended up being cheaper than Uber. The hotel’s location made it easy to reach most of the main attractions with a quick Uber ride. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank you. I will return again :)

As an American female avid tourist, I found this hotel incredible. Across from the GEM and the most incredible food, service and room I have found in a long time. This hotel is all about customer service and providing the best experience that Egypt can offer! They have a sister hotel 20 min from this hotel where they offer three floors of dining where you are literally in front of the pyramids and the food again consistent with this hotel is absolutely incredible. mohsen was our waiter there and provided an experience like no other. Our main waiter here Mohamed at night was again spectacle. Everything and I mean everything we asked for even if it meant going outside of the hotel to get it he did it. The staff is amazing. Ali was our breakfast server and he was the best as well. Their breakfast buffet is also superb. We travel a lot and not with your typical tour operators so finding a gem like this is very hard! They have around the clock security so if you are like us to dare to drive in Egypt especially Giza and Cairo then it’s very safe to leave your car parked overnight. Also their hotel restaurant is 24 hours so if your plane comes in late you don’t have to worry about getting food. Summary: if you want a top notch place where it’s clean, safe, great service and beautiful views either stay with this property or their sister property by the pyramids. You will not be disappointed. And by the way, I very very often write reviews but I had to for this hotel!

I was only here for a short stay, but I hope to be return. The location is perfect—or will be once the museum is finished and the construction of the metro line is complete. Free airport transfer was convenient. The room was very nice with a view of the Pyramids and the new (unfinished but beautiful) Museum. Complimentary bottled water and coffee and tea in the room was very welcome.

The bathroom design is a bit awkward and the shower design in particular makes for a very wet floor. The reason for the lower rating on the surrounding area is because a new Metro station is being built and the road is torn up in front and noisy construction went until midnight, but it didn't keep me up.

The rooftop restaurant is open 24/7. I only got to have breakfast and some fresh afternoon mango juice, but the menu looked great.

The real reason to stay here, however, is the hospitality. I can’t say enough about how friendly, welcoming, and accommodating everyone was. From Khalid and his staff (Mohamed for one) in the restaurant, to manager, Shami, who sat with me on the terrace to chat about the area, the hotel, the museum, whatever, everyone was excellent. The hotel had even arranged for a tour of the antiquities that I could not take when I arrived, so they reserved me dinner with a view of the light show at the Pyramids. And then arranged transportation to my next location. I can’t say enough about these wonderful people.
