The staff were really helpful and polite and our rooms were very nice. The hotel had everything we needed for our time in Egypt.

Meh. Not what we were expecting and not superior.

Not what we were expecting from its descriptions. We booked a "Superior Room Pyramids View" room which turned out to be a small box with twin beds and a peek at the pyramids in the distance so we asked for a different room. Hotel had some nice parts, but what's the point of having a nice bar area when it's nigh on impossible to get anyone to serve in there. Breakfast was fine with good options. Staff irritatingly came and banged on our taxi as we were leaving for the airport at 5am saying we hadn't paid for our room (which we had prepaid at time of booking) and then proceeded to wander off when we go out of the car back into reception. Pizza in the Italian restaurant was revolting and worse than frozen. We weren't told that there was a buffet option in one of the restaurants even though we were there for three nights. The nightclub it claims is not used. The Pyramids are way further away than the 10 minutes it claims. I wish we had booked in Cairo itself and took a taxi into Giza for the Pyramids and the G.E.M museum (which is superb).

Poorly cleaned, low-quality rooms and rip-off taxi

We had two rooms for three nights for 5 people. When we checked in, the shower was broken in one of the rooms, and it was only repaired (by a very good caretaker) at 2:30am. The following day, the bottom of the bathtub cracked in the other room. When I asked about taxi to the pyramids, their in-house taxi counter offered it for USD30 per person (5×30=USD150 for all five of us). We opted for an Uber instead, and paid 132 Egyptian pounds (=USD2.60), so they tried to over-charge us 57-fold compared to the Uber. Not a great way to build trust between the hotel and its guests. The hotel offered us new tooms, but these were much smaller and a downgrade from our current rooms with broken bath tub and leaky shower, so we opted to not switch rooms.

Information about the area

Gizeh, Egypt

The oldest of the wonders, and, curiously, the only one that has reached us, is the monumental set of pyramids of Giza in Egypt. We have all heard of them and know their appearance, just as we know they were the tombs of the Pharaohs. But let's get closer, and find out some interesting details. The Egyptians began building pyramids a long time ago, throughout their Old Empire: The oldest are about FIVE THOUSAND years old! In fact, the oldest known is the stepped pyramid of Sakkara, tomb of Pharaoh Djoser, dating from 2750 BC. The architect inventor of the pyramid was the great Visir, and famous sage, Inhotep. After this first example, the Egyptians continued to build pyramids well into the Middle Kingdom, where they used the underground tomb instead of the pyramids. Nevertheless, of the Old Empire we have remained no less than eighty of these, distributed by Lower Egypt. Let us now imagine that we are present in the burial suite of Pharaoh Khufu. A light boat transports us on the Nile from the ancient capital, Memphis, to the necropolis of its suburbs, on the vast plain of Giza. There burial constructions abound, because it is the cemetery where all the inhabitants of the capital, nobles or villains go. Our boat stops: a group of priests awaits us on the shore. Behind, awaits the temple built especially for our pharaoh, where he will worship as a god (is he not of a divine nature?). This is where the pharaoh's body is conveniently prepared and introduced into the sarcophagus. Afterwards, a delegation takes him along a funeral path to his grave. We already see the pyramids. Its impressive mole stands out over the horizon of the plain, leaving us open-mouthed. All that is stone! Uncommonly heavy blocks of granite, one meter high, form the rows so tightly that it is not possible to introduce a knife between them. The rows of stones are painted, forming bands of different colors; The tip is golden. All the pyramids, absolutely all, have the same alignment: they are oriented to the north with total accuracy. The sides of the pyramid have an impressive slope of 51 degrees, which when we get closer we get the feeling that the pyramid "falls" on top of us. In the surroundings, there are the smaller pyramids and the (rectangular buildings of inclined walls) for the high officials.
