Pyramids Valley

First of all, let me make it clear: this place is about as much of a 4-star boutique hotel as McDonald's is a Michelin star restaurant. I wouldn't even give it two stars; most 2-star motels in the US have rooms that are larger, cleaner, and have better amenities. Now, let's dive into details. Our unique "boutique" experience started with the free airport transfer. The driver played hide-and-seek, first at the wrong terminal, then without the promised sign with my name. The car looked like it had been through a battlefield. The guy demonstrated excellent skills behind the wheel, but his driving style was consistent with the beaten up appearance of his car. And, to top it off, the seatbelts were non-functional. Despite my doubtful anticipations, we survived the transfer and were met by very welcoming check-in staff at Pyramids Valley. The lobby area was relatively clean. However, as we ascended the stairs to our rooms, the walls started telling us a different, dirtier story. Unlocking the rooms was a mini adventure, as the door locks were ancient and had a mind of their own. The desk in my mom's room had traces of food here and there (the staff cleaned it up on my request, though). My room did not have a proper shower cabin, causing the water to splash all over the bathroom floor. Hot water only lasted for 3-4 minutes, which made me a pro at speed-showering by the end of my stay. (To be honest, if I was staying there with my kids, who tend to indulge in lengthy showers, I might view this as a feature, not a bug.) After all of these experiences, encountering the "Best Hotel Award 2008" sign on one of the hallway doors triggered a sensation of a strong cognitive dissonance. The restaurant at the roof sells alcoholic beverages, which help you relax a bit. The food is generally decent, with some very good dishes and a few barely edible ones. The view of the pyramids from the restaurant is certainly the main attraction. It is so breathtaking that you almost forget about everything else... until its time to go to bed and you realize that the room doors lack soundproofing and you'll hear every decibel of the hallway drama. We left the hotel after 2 nights despite paying for 3. My advice would be to consider staying elsewhere unless you are dead-set on that rooftop view and willing to sacrifice your comfort for that.

One of the best hotels around. I stayed here for 4 days and they have tour packages as well with private English speaking guide and car. It's one of the safest options available for you. The tour guide was a well knowledgeable and good personality. He took care of our safety as well during the tour.The food is good quality and taste. I think they should expand their menu little bit which suits tourists from around the world. The rooms are near, bathrooms are clean. Housekeeping services are good. You can have a beautiful view of the pyramids from the roof top and also see the sound and light show at night from the roof for free. If you are staying for more that three days they arrange free airport pickup. Only issue i felt was with the wifi connection which is not really stable it often gets disconnected automatically. But it's ok they fixed it as soon as we complained about it. It's worth for the money and I really recommend staying here and choosing their tour packages. We enjoyed well.
