I'm not sure why this hotel gets so many recommendations. In terms of room size and cleanliness, it was the most disappointing hotel of our trip!
First, I wouldn't recommend the balcony room. It's tiny, and all you get is a balcony that overlooks a dirty, messy, enclosed alleyway, offering no view whatsoever.
Second, the room truly is small. If you're traveling with two 28-inch suitcases, opening them up is a challenge. You might be able to fit one 28-inch suitcase by the window, but the other 24-inch one would have to stay by the door. And you'd have to close them up every time you wanted to open the door to enter or exit.
Third, the bathroom drain had a really strong unpleasant smell, especially after being closed up all night. Even running the fan didn't help; it would just switch off after a short while.
The hotel is quite new, and the overall service attitude was impeccable. However, breakfast was very basic, offering just coffee and tea with very limited choices – hardly any fruit or bread! It definitely doesn't compare to another hotel we stayed at for the same price.
Also, the elevator doesn't go directly to your floor. It stops halfway between floors, so you have to climb a half-flight of stairs with your luggage.

Located in New Cairo, there really isn't much to explore nearby. Plus, returning to the hotel usually means a U-turn at an intersection, which can cause about a half-hour delay due to traffic... Other than that, everything else is quite good. Breakfast is nice, and there's live piano music in the mornings. Service is decent, and you can tell it's a new hotel; the front desk staff isn't quite up to speed with check-in procedures yet. And when checking out, no one offered to help with luggage.

Environment: We booked a suite. The hotel is located on a quiet street, with a distinctive exterior. There were doormen and bellhops, so it was quiet at night and we slept well. It's not in a remote location in Giza, Cairo. The room was spacious and had a separate living room. The price was reasonable. It seemed to have been recently renovated, and the environment was decent. The bathroom was a bit old, but it didn't affect usability, and the water quality wasn't great. After one night, my family was satisfied and extended our stay for two more nights.
Cleanliness: It was acceptable. The bedding was clean, and we rested comfortably.
Service: This deserves five stars! The staff were very welcoming, especially the receptionists: Mohamed, Yasmin, Abdelrahman, Hadeer, and Lydia. They were very responsive and proactive in communication, always polite and welcoming. The breakfast was also quite good, with a wide variety of options. I would stay here again next time I'm in Cairo.

It is in the center of Cairo, close to all the shops. There are plenty of restaurants to eat at. The receptionists lack English, so communication is a bit difficult. But they are friendly. The rooms are cleaned, but we have to ask them to clean. It would be better to have a cupboard to store our clothes, since I stayed 7 days.

Wow, this place is really great and offers excellent value for money. The facilities are top-notch, and the other guests are very polite and respectful of personal space. The staff here are some of the best English speakers I've encountered in Egypt. They were incredibly caring and thoughtful when I asked them to help me communicate with locals. One lady even helped me loosely plan my itinerary for the next few days. I'd definitely love to come back and stay in one of their private rooms if I get the chance.

Fantastic location with beautiful Nile views — I could even see the Pyramids from my balcony. Breakfast had a wide variety of options, and it was convenient to have an on-site ATM with no extra fees. However, the staffs at the main entrance came across as a bit pushy (not sure if it’s a cultural thing or just individual attitude). Check-in and check-out were also quite slow, with about a 10–15 minute wait both times. The biggest issue was the hair dryer: it was very old and visibly damaged, patched with white tape, and it actually gave me an electric shock as it cracked while I was using it. This really shouldn’t happen at a well-known hotel chain.

The staff of this hotel was not good, At about 8 PM in the evening, the hotel front desk staff called the room and said that the hotel we booked only allows one person to stay. If two people stay, they need to add an additional fee of 70 US dollars. Very unlogic, so I leave my friend and I booked another hotel.but the facilities and environment is good .only their service is bad

I had a very satisfying stay here. First off, the location is excellent – right in the bustling heart of downtown Cairo, yet surprisingly quiet. It's just a 10-15 minute walk to the Egyptian Museum and a nearby metro station, and about a 20-minute stroll to the Nile River. There are plenty of restaurants and bakeries around, making dining and shopping very convenient. The room had a fully equipped kitchen, which was great for making breakfast, and there was a common lounge area on our floor. Getting to Cairo Airport by Uber only took about 30 minutes.

The hotel is conveniently located next to Liberation Square, just a 2-3 minute walk away. The breakfast was good, with a wide variety of vegetables and fruits, and the red chili peppers 🌶️ were wonderfully spicy. The room was just right for two people and two large suitcases. You can see the swimming pool from outside the room.
About 100 meters from the hotel, there's a wide main road. Cross the road, and you'll find the Old Egyptian Museum. Walking in the opposite direction leads you to Liberation Square, where there's an obelisk. I believe there's a metro station nearby, but taxis are so cheap in Cairo that we didn't bother looking for it.

Booking through Trip.com was excellent and reliable in securing exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this application. The Parmisa El Dokki Hotel itself is excellent, and the management team is wonderful. The location is superb, close to all amenities. A special shout-out to Ms. Seham for her dedication to guest comfort, and to Mr. Ahmed Ayad for his cooperation, attentiveness, and welcoming attitude. Many thanks also go to Mr. Mohamed Kamel for his excellent service and responsiveness. I highly recommend this hotel.

Great
MM20402****The service was quite good. Lower floors near the road can be a bit noisy, but higher floors are fine. They upgraded our room type, and the room was large and clean, with quick service response. The hotel has many restaurants; the ramen and fried chicken at the Japanese restaurant were a lifesaver for my 'Chinese stomach' – I really couldn't eat any more 'Western food.' The view from the Nile corner is excellent; if you get up early, you can see a beautiful sunrise. It's a bit far from the airport but convenient for visiting the pyramids. My friend's room was even higher and offered a direct view of the pyramids; with a camera, you can get some amazing shots.
HHannahforceWhat a fantastic boutique hotel so glad I stayed here! I found the hotel exactly like the pictures and even had a beautiful fragrance throughout on arrival to reception and in my room . My room was beautifully decorated and very clean and new. All the staff were friendly and attentive and anything I asked for was accommodated.
The view from the rooftop made ypu feel like you were in the heart of rhe pyramids and I preferred this location to the front line pyramid hotels. I would highly recommend the hotel and would definitely return,it felt like a real luxury sanctuary in the middle of busy Giza just what we wanted from our stay
GGuest UserThe house is absolutely recommendable.
The Maria Pyramids House is excellently located right in front of the pyramids. The rooms are newly made and super. The rooms are very, very clean. I also liked the roof terrace with direct view to the pyramids. The hospitality and service of Osama and Ahmed were very, very good. The gentlemen always gave tips for the day design. The kitchen of Mrs Aeda was also great and breakfast on the roof terrace I enjoyed with view of the pyramids. I had 6 nights in the room and enjoyed every day.
The House has exceeded my expectations.
GGuest UserI can highly recommend this hotel. We stayed here as a couple; the room was clean, fresh, and pleasant. I'd even say professional. We booked a deluxe room with a bathtub and a glass wall—it was worth it. The bathroom was excellent, perfect for two. The renovations were done well, even a bit sterile, without the typical Egyptian lack of attention to detail. We stayed in this room in December (when we were freezing in other hotels), and overall it was very comfortable. Street noise was minimal, especially compared to Cairo. The internet was average, not the best speed. We watched a movie on TV—the lighting, sound, and picture were very comfortable. The hotel's location is good: a 10-minute taxi ride to the museum and 15-20 to the entrance to the pyramids. Breakfast was okay. Grocery and fruit options are a 5-minute walk away. One downside: the staff in the cafe wasn't very professional (apparently the owner's children are there), but that's a minor detail. Also, if you order food from the cafe's menu, allow for a 40-50-minute wait. But to sum it up, the hotel fulfilled all its main tasks (sleep, relaxation, warmth) perfectly.
GGuest UserThis hotel has some of the kindest and most helpful people I have ever met. From the very first moment, the staff made me feel truly welcome. Any question or request was answered immediately — they always helped, explained, and guided me with genuine care.
There was a small issue with my room at first, but it was resolved right away. The staff quickly arranged a room change, and everything was handled smoothly and professionally.
I stayed in a room with a balcony, and it was absolutely amazing. The view is breathtaking — waking up and seeing the pyramids right in front of you is an unforgettable experience.
I would also like to highlight the hotel’s rooftop. Breakfasts are served there, and you can also just relax or order food from the restaurant. Eating while overlooking the pyramids is something truly special.
The hotel is located very close to the entrance of the Pyramids area — I even walked back to the hotel on foot after my visit. The Great Egyptian Museum is also just a 10–15 minute car ride, which is extremely convenient.
Once again, the staff deserves special praise: very friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with anything. They speak English very well, which makes communication easy and comfortable.
Airport transfer can be arranged both from and to the hotel, and payment at the reception is possible in both US dollars and Egyptian pounds.
Highly recommended — a place where you feel cared for and truly enjoy every moment of your stay.
GGuest UserThe location is excellent, with a pyramid-view room that boasts large windows, providing great ventilation and natural light. There were no strange odors in the room, and the shower had plenty of water pressure. The restaurant with a view is also a plus; you can even go to the terrace to take photos even if you're not dining there. The only downside is that the room faces the street, so there's car noise early in the morning and late at night, which might disturb light sleepers. However, I was fine with it; the location and view were more important to me.
GGuest UserThe hotel offers beautiful views of the pyramids. The guest rooms are clean, but overall everything feels average. The in-room beverage area could use more lighting, and there are few hooks for towels. The pillowcases, bed sheets, and duvet covers are somewhat thin and a bit worn.
Breakfast can be quite crowded and messy, as there are many guests. Due to the high number of diners, the staff sometimes struggle to keep up, resulting in shortages of food and utensils. However, the breakfast selection is quite diverse.
VViningsThe hotel has pyramid view on their rooftop, you cN enjoy the view while havinv your breakfast..the room was ok, but lack of amenities..the breakfast was good..the staff is friendly..overall we have a good tine while staying there
CcontumacysgFacilities: Very old, far from 4-star standard. WiFi is incredibly slow, and my 4G/5G mobile data (from an Orange SIM card bought at Cairo Airport T1) was completely unusable once I entered the room.
Cleanliness: The hotel is only 20 meters from the pyramid entrance. The downstairs area and the entire hotel lobby reeked of horse and camel manure! The room itself was slightly better.
Ambiance: The rooftop dining area offers a nice view.
Service: The owner and staff were quite friendly and helpful, which was probably the best aspect of this hotel.
AAhmed.E80Everything is satisfying, Especially Mrs. Amany, the receptionist, For her help in check-in all the time when going there and to all restaurant staff.
Other than that the only two problems are that room 503's room key is very tiring to open the door because it is broken and has been re-soldered and also the bathroom exhaust fan cover is not well secured and has fallen off more than once
