Nazlet El-Semman Hotels with Balcony

After driving through chaotic Cairo, (Our driver was calm and collected), and still in a culture shock, we arrived at the Inn at 3 am. We were politely shown our room. The canteen was always open for coffee, tea and bottled water which we were grateful of in these early hours. The room was clean (including bathroom) and the bedding (cushions included) were fresh. Fridge, tv and water kettle. The breakfast buffet: an assortment of fruit, cheese, breads, eggs – boiled and scrambled, salad and traditional homemade sauces etc. etc. enough for a hearty European or Egyptian appetite. Coffee and tea all day long free of charge! The employees were informative, helpful, attentive and most of all so friendly - like being a visiting family member!! It was a most enjoyable stay that I can truly recommend: an authentic Egyptian warm-hearted experience!!! Thankyou!

The service of the store clerk is very good!!! The guys are very enthusiastic and the waiter at the door is also very reliable! You can see the pyramids from the balcony upstairs. The price of pizza ordered in the store is also very reasonable, and it was delivered to my room. The old man at the door is also very good! He always helps us and always smiles and guides us! The garden is also very good! It really exceeded expectations! The only drawback may be that it was a bit cold when we stayed in January because the hotel air conditioner only had cold air🥹

The Khan Duidar is a true oasis amidst the vibrant energy of Giza. While the location may seem intimidating to the less adventurous, it offers an authentic experience in a typical Egyptian neighborhood, just a stone's throw from the Pyramids. As Americans, we were initially unprepared for the what felt like chaos on the street, but after four nights, we couldn’t have been more satisfied. The view is exactly as promised—breathtaking. It felt like we could almost reach out and touch the Pyramids from the shared balcony. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and each morning we enjoyed a delicious blend of European and Egyptian breakfast on the shared balcony, all while soaking in the incredible scenery. The rooms were impeccably clean and pristine, with modern amenities. The shower, complete with plenty of hot water and a bidet, was a refreshing way to rinse off the dust after a day of exploring Cairo like Indiana Jones. Though the bustling streets outside initially felt overwhelming, venturing out was a pleasant surprise. The nearby street food was both authentic and affordable, with delicious shawarma for two costing just four bucks. There’s even a local bakery just steps away. While there was some construction that made navigating the side alley entrance challenging, the Khan staff were always in the lobby, eager to assist. Their 24/7 availability was unmatched. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be the option for daily room service. We would have gladly paid for it, had it been offered. Overall, the Khan Duidar was our peaceful retreat during our Giza adventure. Thank you, Khan Duidar, for making our stay unforgettable!

The hotel is very suitable for visiting the pyramids. It is about 20 minutes walk from the Sphinx. The top floor restaurant can see the pyramid. The surrounding environment of the hotel is the epitome of Cairo. The reception staff was very welcoming. The restaurant's food tastes good, the dinner included is carefully made according to the requirements, and beer is delivered on the last night. The room is newly renovated, the space is large enough, but the facilities are simple, the quality needs to be improved, and the room WIFI needs to be greatly improved. Trip.com The webpage shows that there is an error, there is no airport shuttle bus, and the pick-up and drop-off fee is $25 per trip, which is much more expensive than Uber.

I am truly grateful for your gracious hospitality. Your warm welcome and generous accommodations were greatly appreciated. Special thanks to (SAMAR). I cannot express enough how grateful I am for your kindness during my stay, Strongly Recommend for Everyone to Visit This hotel.

We traveled to this place with our infant with the only expectation of getting a pyramids view and considering the heat, flexibility to be very close to the pyramids at Giza. The location is one of the best in the vicinity, and gives a direct view of the Sphinx. We were welcomed by warm staff (Duniya) and greeted to the terrace wherein the pyramids and the sphinx were lit at night. It was a dusty evening, but the overall atmosphere was great. The incident that has set this stay apart from the others was a personal episode. The next day we chose to visit the major locations of Cairo side like the NMEC and Khan-al-Khalili, and some shopping. En route, my wife lost her phone and we were extremely stressed out in the evening, with all her contacts and memories on the phone. This is the instance when the hospitality of the hotel came into picture. Nearly everyone on the reception staff was aware of the situation, and they started going out of their way to help her. Be it calling the taxi at night and asking (more like instructing) to do whatever it takes to find the phone, to go at each and every place in Cairo and Giza we had been. Language is a constraint, and at each and every instant we wanted a person of trust to translate Arabic to English for us, and in addition, to provide guidance. Ashour at the reception constantly kept calling on my phone to ask updates. They even arranged for a late breakfast for us. To cut the story, we did FIND the phone and there was a happy story in the end. I have to place emphasis on the fact, that Cairo and Egypt functions on a different set of principles that involves a lot of over selling. If we can separate that emotion, and trust on such people who are really willing to help (they still might want to sell you a package ;)), sets the experience apart. They even treated our young kid with a friendship band. The restaurant food quality could be improved, but please remember, first and foremost its a tourist place with a very high footfall. I would like to visit Cairo again, and without a beat stay at this place. Thanks Duniya and Ashour for us to make our stay a very memorable one.

The hotel is close to pyramids. 4 of us stayed at this hotel. The breakfast balcony has lovely view of pyramids. We had breakfast but it was not very fresh. The rooms were very tidy and clean and the reception and management staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating specially Mr Reda and Mohammad. We had a very pleasant 4 days stay and thoroughly recommend it.

They have a very nice view of the pyramids. Good place to watch the show of pyramids at during for limited days tho. They have rooftop restaurant that serve good food and delicious mango juice. It’s just the surroundings, a lot of camels.

We booked a suite here and couldn't have been a happier, waking up with a view of the pyramids every morning was amazing. We also had breakfast every morning in the restaurant on the top of the hotel which had an even better view of the pyramids. It was a great base of operations for the pyramids and all of Cairo. You have to weigh the pros and cons of a hotel in the Giza area vs Cairo... But I have ot say, the pros of waking up with an amazing view out weighed it all. Worth it.

Here’s a more enthusiastic version: The hotel was absolutely fantastic if you're looking for something simple yet charming! They offered free WiFi and delicious breakfasts. I was so surprised when they went out of their way to liaise with my dad to arrange a birthday cake for me—such a sweet gesture! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always checking in to make sure we were happy. And if you want to stay close to the Giza Pyramids and enjoy a breathtaking view while having breakfast, this is the perfect spot! Huge thanks to everyone for making our stay so memorable, especially Mustafa, the big boss, who ensured everything ran smoothly. We miss you all already! Highly recommended to anyone visiting—this hotel is a gem! Big hugs to everyone 🙏🙏🙏
