Everyone is truly helpful and the location is superb!!! Highly recommended!!!
I loved the hotel, it was different. The room had a direct view of the pyramids, which gives you a wonderful and calm feeling. Also, the rooftop has a view of the pyramids with calm music. I liked their attention to details, such as the fact that there is a gym on the rooftop, which is very beautiful. I really enjoyed this hotel.

Understanding in Cairo Prices
Giza follows Cairo's tourism-driven pricing: hotel and tour prices peak during the cooler months when international visitors arrive (roughly October–April), with the busiest spikes around December–January holidays and major festivals. Summer (June–August) is the lowest-cost period for lodging and some guided tours due to extreme daytime heat; many operators offer discounts or lower rates then. Prices also fluctuate during Ramadan and around Islamic holiday periods (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha): some services may be pricier or limited, while domestic travel demand can push rates up. Weekends, major events (film/book festivals), and special exhibitions at nearby Cairo museums raise short-term prices. Booking 1–3 months in advance secures better rates in high season; last-minute deals are more common in summer. Consider mid-week stays to avoid weekend surcharges and bundle tickets+transport in peak times to save.
