This was such a lovely place, it was clean, newly created and the staff were all so helpful.
The view was amazing, both in the room and rooftop, you can wake up, use the loo or shower and the view of this ancient site will be visible through the window, a beautiful experience. (I chose the pyramid view room)
The rooftop was lovely, the view was immaculate, you can see the city around and the view of the pyramids with lights at night, you can see the sunrise and sunset, and the moon cycle too.
The staff are always at your service, they often check in on you, unless you want to be alone and they treat you with respect and kindness.
I met the managers of the hotel too, who were so welcoming, they offered me tea, good conversation and were overall good genuine people.
The room was comfortable, I was alone but had the choice of two beds, you can see the view from the bed, the room was very clean, you are provided with everything you need, and if you don't have it you can ask.
The room was also temperature regulated with Aircon above the bed, and a remote to control the speed and temperature, much needed in the Egyptian weather.
Overall the experience was great and I met other people who were staying in the hotel who said good things, which is always good to know when you are alone, staying somewhere new.
Although odd, the hotel being close to the highway was great for getting taxis, bikes and crossing over to walk into the city and town. When you are in your room, and the windows are closed, you rarely hear anything, beside light sounds, it doesn't disturb my sleep at all.
The staff were great, the owners were great, the location was great and it was a good experience which I recommend.
It is on the main street so not as close as other Instagram hotels but the environment around is way better! It’s like half price of other very close to pyramid Instagram kind of hotel but you don’t need to suffer all the annoying people around and smelly shits on the street. The room is big and quiet, staff is nice and friendly.
The hotel location is strategic, you can view the pyramid from your room or you can reach to Level 5, there is a rooftop for breakfast. This building come with elevator but can fit maximum 3person (with luggage) at one time. Their front desk is helpful and one of the staff can speak Mandarin. The room sizes was quite spacious for 2persons. You can open the 28inch luggage fully. Cleanliness can be improved further and the furniture is aged. The water heater cannot last long and the temperature is inconsistent, so you have to bath quickly. We stay here for one night only hence we don’t really spend much times in the hotel. I will still recommended this hotel if you are looking for a hotel that closer to the entrance of pyramid and clean neighbourhood.
The location of the hotel was definitely convenient — it’s very close to the train station, and there’s even a convenience store just a minute's walk away, which made grabbing essentials really easy. Every day, I could see the pyramids from my room, which was absolutely amazing and definitely the highlight of my stay.
The hotel staff were also very kind and helpful, always willing to assist with anything I needed. However, despite these positives, the hotel itself was quite disappointing in terms of cleanliness. The lobby and hallways felt a bit neglected, and my room didn’t seem very well maintained — the carpet looked worn out and there was a musty smell that lingered throughout my stay.
Also, even though the location is great, the entrance to the hotel was hard to find and had an uninviting atmosphere that made me hesitate before going in. Overall, it’s a place with some unforgettable views and kind staff, but if you care a lot about cleanliness and overall atmosphere, it might not be the best choice.
The staff is excellent, the hotel is located near the pyramids. The hotel offers excursions. The room is dirty, they did not clean it, the trash was not taken out. You always have to ask for water. The view from the terrace to the pyramids is good, the main thing is not to pay attention to the streets and other buildings ... The local supermarket is close by, it is convenient to buy what you need, but the hotel also has a menu. There was no price, no robe, no slippers in the room. The wardrobe and safe are broken. The noise from the street and neighboring rooms is unreal. It is impossible to sleep ....
Very nice location, walkable distance to the Giza pyramids. The beautiful view of the Khufu Pyramid can be seen on the rooftop. We enjoyed our breakfast with the view of the pyramid! Super nice and helpful staff, they actively resolved any problems we encountered.The inn has a small lift and easy for us to carry our luggage. Room is clean and tidy and looks like new. Beds are comfy. Highly recommended!
We spent wonderful time at Hayat Hotel and Giza. All stuff of the hotel are so amazing and friendly, especially Mohamed, Semir and Ahmed on reception who were exceptional. They were really putting so much effort in taking care of us and making sure we have everything we needed in the hotel and our tour trips around the Giza and Cairo. Muhamed gave as a warm and friendly welcome, surving us fresh friut juices that were a real refreshment and we really needed it after we got scammed on the airport. We fell in love with the view from the roof top of the hotel, which has the best possition and the best view you can get in Giza, with all the Pyramids and Sphinx like on the palm of your hand. As we seen this view and friendly stuff of the hotel we decided to stay longer in Hayat Hotel. So Mohamed extended our stay in the hotel for 3 more days with the same amount we payed over tour operator and got us better room with a view. He also gave us new Egyptian sim card with mobile data. Hotel offered us great tours around Cairo and Alexandria, and we had excellent time seeing all the beautiful ancient places and learned a lot new things about this marvelous and mysterious place of Egyptian culture. With our tour guides, Hala and Ibrahim, and driver Atif, who are all wonderful people and were doing their best to make our stay in Egypt unforgetable, we spent 4 days in sightseeing. The food in hotel is great, very tasty, for a free breakfast you'll get many choices of traditional Egyptian, Mediteranian, continental and vegetarian kitchen, with coffee and tea, and fresh served fruits. It is a real life-time experince to eat your morning breakfast and drink your coffee at the footstep of the Sphinx and pyramids which energy is felt strongly. Sabir and all waiters and weitresses were nice and helpful in their service. We got lunch or dinner for free everyday, since it's in the tour package when you book the trip tour with the hotel. It was a great and lovely expeirence, we enjoyed a lot in Hayat hotel and if we plan trip to Cairo again we would for sure come here again. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone.
It was nice to have a room with a view of the pyramids, but it was quite noisy during the day because it was along the road. It was great to be able to have breakfast while looking at the pyramids! Also, it was only about 100m to the ticket office, so it was very convenient. There were shops nearby so I had no trouble buying drinks and snacks. I could get around by Uber bike for a cheap price, so even though it was far from the old town, it wasn't a problem.
The hotel was perfect for the price range and I had a surprisingly amazing view of the pyramids from my room on the 6th floor. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Abdo (the guy that works at reception) helped me plan and book all of my tours and even helped arrange a room for me when I got back after a tour to have a shower and relax, I had a late flight, so this was very helpful. He even helped organize a breakfast pack and store my luggage early in the morning as I had to leave before 7a.m for a camping trip.
The bathroom and room was clean and well maintained. The balcony on the 6th floor was great to relax and enjoy looking at the pyramids.the restaurant on the top floor also has great views of the pyramids. You can enjoy this while having a good meal. I definitely recommend staying here if you’re in Giza and want to wake up to a beautiful view of the pyramids.
Very Good

SSpinTheWorldWould stay here again. Well sustained and great breakfast. Staff is very responsive and helpful.
GGuest UserThe shower head only has a few strong streams of water, and the rest of the water is too weak, which makes the skin hurt when those few streams hit it, and I dare not stand forward. But in fact, I didn't get much water on it. I couldn't adjust the water flow, and the water that came out had an earthy smell. The carpet in the room was not very clean, and the quilt was always damp. The coffee capsules I drank on the first day were not replenished on the second day. The small bottle of water was charged and I didn't have to pay first, I had to pay by card. The front desk finally told me hope to see you again, and it was the only time I said no you will not in all the hotels I have stayed in🥶🥶🥶🥶By the way, I caught a cold on the second day of staying in the hotel🤒I didn't even turn on the air conditioner in the hotel. This hotel is a bit unlucky for me🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️

AAkkarpanLocation, location, location! Mohammed and Mustafa and staff are lovely and the best thing about this is location. Also, AC is great and hot water in shower, all really good things. Splurge and get the balcony, because if you get the $15 room, it’s an inside room - read everything carefully. But the balcony gives you breakfast with the pyramids. A couple of doors over there is heaven‘s lounge which you can get beer and alcohol at which is lovely to spend the evenings at with wine under the pyramids. You will get nothing of that here. I do have a bit of a bone to pick with trip.com because they didn’t do their research as there is no restaurant, there is no bar and there is no pool or gym in this place, which is why I downgraded the amenities. However if you were going to Giza for the pyramids, this is the place. Yes it is right behind the camel and the horse staging area so from 8 o’clock in the morning till quitting time which is 4 o’clock in the afternoon, you will have the authentic experience. If you do not like trash, if you do not like dust, if you do not like smells, you should probably just not be coming to Egypt in general! Because it is everywhere. However, if you want the authentic experience at the base of the pyramids, this is the place. Oh, and the Internet is crap… So just make sure you have a really good cellular plan because it’s no better anywhere else in Egypt either.  From our experience, and we have traveled everywhere, the left over British colonies just don’t have a really great Wi-Fi infrastructure. 
GGuest UserThe staff are all very helpful.
The toilet and shower are also beautiful. There are soap, tissues and toilet paper.
The door has a key and a chain lock. There is also a safe in the room.
It was a very nice hotel. I moved to a different hotel now but I want to return to this hotel again (-_-)
TTimothyIf you want to be close to the pyramids, this hotel is well located. It's on a quiet street that is only a short drive from the GEM and Giza pyramids. However, there is nothing around the hotel and it's not pleasant to walk. The view from the rooftop and restaurant is nice, but not really from the rooms. Although I could see the pyramids from my room, there was a lot in the way and the windows were small and in the corner. My friends had the nice room with the windows on two walls, but there view still wasn't all that great. The pictures of the rooms make them look better than they really are. The staff are friendly and breakfast is great.
Ssakib binhasanThe hotel is one of the oldest hotels nearest to the pyramids. It's one minute walking distance to pyramids main entry. As an old infrastructure they tried to renovate at their best but however there may have lacking ie. Lights functioning, lock system etc. But I recommend all for their wholehearted support and generosity towards their guests. They are all the way helpful. You can also book transportation from them, I believe that will reduce your troubles outside with taxi negotiations.
DDaniel & Cici Around the WorldGiza Pyramid Inn is very conveniently located, right in front of the Pyramids, offering an amazing view from the rooftop. The breakfast was very good, and the ability to wake up and see the pyramids right outside is definitely a highlight of this stay.
However, there are a few important things to consider. While the pyramid view is stunning, the neighborhood itself leaves much to be desired. The area is chaotic, not well-organized, and quite dirty. As this is a very touristic spot, you will constantly encounter people asking for money or trying to overcharge you for something, which makes it essential to stay alert at all times.
The hotel itself follows the same pattern. The tours they offer are significantly overpriced, likely because some people pay for the convenience, but the prices are far from reasonable. Additionally, we were promised a takeaway breakfast due to our early flight, but when the time came to collect it, they said it was not available. Despite confirming our departure time in advance, we ended up having to buy food at the airport, which was disappointing.
Overall, if you are staying here for the location and the pyramid view, it might be worth it. However, be prepared for the typical tourist traps and be mindful of overpricing. It’s a place that offers convenience, but with some frustrations along the way.
HHazimmmmGreat stay! As soon as we entered the hotel, we were warmly greeted by the owner and welcomed with some yogurt and congee a satisfying treat after a long flight. The hotel has the feel of an Airbnb or homestay, as it is located in an apartment building. The location is excellent, with an ATM, cafes, and a supermarket all on the same street.
What truly sets this hotel apart is the outstanding service and hospitality. The staff are genuinely kind and helpful, giving us a sense of safety which is especially comforting in a city like Cairo, where you're often approached by people trying to sell you something. Their team goes above and beyond, even accompanying guests to buy fresh fruits if needed.
The owner, Ismail, speaks Arabic, Chinese, and English fluently. As a former tour guide, he offered great recommendations for things to do around Egypt which was especially helpful for us since we didn’t have a strict itinerary. He also helped us navigate Cairo, including how to get to the pyramids and how to use inDrive for ride-hailing, essential information we wouldn't have known otherwise.
As a Singaporean, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone from the region, given its affordability and exceptional service. The pyramid view alone makes it worth staying here!
SSkee82Staff Amazingly friendly and helpful, The views are incredible from room to resturant to roof top, where i got to watch and hear the evening light show in fully glory.
Booked for my 1st 2nights in Egypt, perfect location in front of the sphinx side entrance to the plateau, literally a 2 min walk..
This side of Giza is rough and ready though.. with animals being housed on the ally leading to the entrance so expect the smell of horse and camel poo (which wasn’t a problem once in the hotel) also expect to be bothered a lot by the local hustlers and kids begging for something/anything..
The streets are noisy and hectic this side but you also get a more authentic Giza experience,
The Hotels staff were super accommodating and welcoming, they were willing to help organise trips and guides but I wasn’t in need as i already had stuff arranged..
Breakfast was basic but enough to get your day of adventure started with plenty of option around for off site dinning.
The best thing apart from the staff was the view tho.. with all 3 great pyramids and sphinx in view and close enough to get the full effect inc the sounds of the light show.
Would recommend for a cheap budget stay close to the entrance of the plateau with the best views
