Gawharet Al Ahram Hotel - גיזה

Generally it was a good experience, clean room, okay facilities. At one point we made a local call to pizza hut from the lobby and they charged me 9 Egyptian pounds for it, which I thought was exuberant for Egyptian standards, so the charges of the hotel are very steep. The mosque at 4:30am every morning only woke me up once, the other days I didn't hear it. Make sure you get a room facing away from it. The pool was cold and couldn't use it, but otherwise clean.

I enjoyed staying here. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean, big, with a comfy bed and i could even see the pyramids from my window! Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay again.

Second day there my girlfriend got her phone snatched from out of her hand walking down the street, so I'd say the area is rough. My reccommendation: go the pyramids and see the Cairo museum and get out of Giza/Cairo. Other cities like Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan are much more tourist friendly, cleaner, relaxing, and beautiful. Rooftop bar/restaurant was really nice. Not the best service though, and english was questionable. Rooms were pretty clean, nice bathrooms, and free Wi-fi. Overall I'd say a 3.3, probably higher if the neighborhood wasn't so rough.

Over all very good staff very friendly and heplful

The Husa Hotel has been the best hotel thus far on our trip from Israel to Egypt. The staff was perfectly attentive and the value could not be beat. We would recommend using the hotel service to arrange transportation to the Pyramids or the Museum as the streets can be very crowded and confusing. The price for these services were cheaper than if we had just gotten a taxi ourselves. We have been recommending this hotel to other travelers that we have met along the way.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. We stayed in one of the suites with a view to the pyramids. The breakfast was ok, but nothing special. The rooftop restaurant has a spectacular view. One warning: The management wants to entrap you in their own tourist trap, and does so in a way we felt was sleazy and deceitful.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone, tourist or business person. It is very well located for downtown Cairo and for visiting the tourist "hotspots". The management and staff really take the extra effort to ensure every guests needs are satisfied and that all reasonable requests are fulfilled. Even though the hotel is on a main road, the rooms are quiet and many have great views, eg. of the Pyramids. The food and service is excellent. Go here and have a great time. I am happy to confirm any information personally if you wish.

Watch the sunset from the roof over the pyramids, it made my trip to Cairo worthwhile; Hotel staff went above and beyond the call of duty to assist me, even took me on a night river cruise on the Nile for dinner.

Quite good for the price...not luxurious, but reasonable comfort and location...taxis are cheap when using meter, so location is OK. Good view of pyramids on a clear day...only 1k away, but invisible on smoggy mornings. Bkfst was only passable..bit boring after a few days. No real gripes...staff were quite accomodating.

This hotel is located a few miles/ kilometers from the Giza pyramid complex, which contains the great pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx. It is also not very far from Khan El Khalili-bazaar. It is a full 45 minutes from Cairo Airport (with no traffic), so prepare to leave early on departure days. It took us 2 hours to arrive there from the Airport because of Cairo traffic. The hotel staff is extremely nice and helpful. The staff can help you arrange trips to the different sites in Giza and Cairo. Our room was spacious and clean by Western standards. The hotel has three restaurants, which makes it ideal to eat at in the mornings before day treks and/or in the evenings after exploring the pyramids or Cairo. Our food was tasty and up to Western standards too. The hotel is located in the city of Giza, which is right across the Nile from Cairo, on Giza's most important street Al Ahram. A visitor gets the authentic Egyptian urban experience since the surrounding neighborhood is neither scenic nor sightly by Western standards but has a Middle Eastern charm to it. Nevertheless, the hotel is safe and has 24 hour security. The drive from the airport to the hotel is very interesting to say the least since Cairo has monumental palaces, museums and Mosques as well as decaying buildings and urban squalor. Overall, this a great hotel for an authentic Egyptian experience.

A disappointing stay. This is the only hotel I have EVER stayed in where I was hassled for "Taxi" whilst standing at the Reception INSIDE the hotel. This was despite there being security guys standing next to the hassling taxi driver. Sorry, that was too much for me. We expect this on the street but not inside your hotel. The hotel also needs cleaning.

For your money this is a very good location (close to the pyramids etc) and a clean hotel. I have stayed here with my family (2 teens husband and wife) and we enjoyed it. Breakfast is normal Egyptian type: cheeses,eggs, breads, pastries, tea/cofee. Although our hotel was in a busy business area (shopping, pharmacy, etc) we did have to go through some poor areas of town, Some people may not like this aspect, but I thought it showed my 15 and 18 year old daughters to be greatful for their blessings in life. For those who come from countries where smoking is limited to certain areas, I must warn you the men at the doors, manning the detectors, smoke. This is the only drawback to this hotel...but understood since most Egyptians smoke.

We had a great time here, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel it self is nice enough, and kept in a decently clean state, its not north European standards, but I had no discomfort at all. The food in the hotel, is acceptable, when their week-time chef is in, it is really pretty good, tip decently and talk to these friendly people and they will make your stay a great one. And the restaurant on the top floor have a great view of the pyramids, so did our room. I read a comment on the tour packages that can be booked in the hotel, and i disagree that it is a rip off, as anything else in Cairo, do negotiate, but here is how my experience was: 2 People spending a full day 9-17 going to pyramids etc, He asked for 950 EL and we negotiated down to 800 EL, i thought that was a bit expensive but agreed. In the end this was with entrance fees totaling 400-450EL + a meal + car and driver, and a guide that spoke good English. So in reality 350EL=45€ for guide and driver/car for a full day. Come on.... If you are in Cairo to see things and not only lay around the hotel, this is a great bargain. Taxis to anywhere in town should be around 30EL=4€ There is a metro a walk away, and that cost 1 EL=0,15c

The hotel is located near Pyramids (about 5 min drive) & you can see then from the roof restaurant. The service is great: the personnel is very keen to help and usefull. However, the view from our room was 2 m from the wall, so it was really unpleasant.

its nice baby

If you are going to travel to Egypt with someone of the opposite sex (if one is from a muslim country), remember you need either: 1) Marriage certificate 2) Seperate rooms (unlikely you will be offered this option) 3) Egypt's temporary marriage certificate (can be bought at a solicitors for around 300EGP) Make your base in Alexandria rather than Cairo. Cairo is dirty, over priced and very busy Alexandria is laid back. Within 5 hours drive of Cairo. The air is breathable and the people less likely to take you for all you have.

The room we stayed in was directly beside the elevator on the 8th floor, so we had the sensation that people were always knocking on our door to come inside (from the elevator noise outside). The room was a little bit small, but it was comfortable. The carpet seemed to be a bit dirty, but then again so were we after arriving on a train from Alexandria that morning. The staff was very accommodating to allow us to checkout at 2 pm and leave our bags there until almost 11 pm (when we took a taxi to the airport). We did not utilize the pool. The mosque next door is always active (at least it was during Ramadan).

Very pleasant stay, nice location, recomended for a very nice stay

The Husa Pyramisa Hotel is one of the best hotels I have stayed at. The room was very clean, the laundry services were by far the best. The staff was so friendly and helpful. We were treated like royalty. When I needed a converter for my latop to make a teleconference call at 2am the front desk send a bell boy to get it one from a little market. The location was great, I could see the Pyramids from the Hotel Panorama Restaurant. The fotel also had a tour office which set everything up for us, hassle free. we had a private car and a private tour guide. The prices were great. Mondy from the travel office and Achmed from the reception really made our stay the best. I will definatly be staying there again and have already made some recommendation to some co-workers and friends. Hotels. com did great in adding this hotel to their page.

Flink betjening, men et noget slidt hotel.

Qua geld-service verhouding heb ik nooit beter gehad. Dit hotel is plezieriger dan het Horizon hotel dat verderop in dezelfde straat staat en veel hoger ingeschat staat. Ontbijt is uitgebreid en de service is echt heel goed, iets is ze teveel.

guzel ve temiz bir yerde bulunmaktadır kahvaltı mukemmel havuzu ve temizliği guzel hizmet konusunda cok yavaş

Kan godt anbefale dette hotel. Ligger ok centralt i relation til de forskellige seværdigheder som skal ses når man er i Cario. Pris og kvalitet hænger meget godt sammen.

fruestueck nicht gut hotel weit vom zentrum

Muito perto das piramides, e longe do centro.

très bien situé, une suite nous a été donné avec une magnifique vue, personnel très serviable !

Ik heb daar in oktober doorgebracht en was toen heel tevreden, op grond van die ervaring zou ik het anderen zeker aanraden, was ook de reden dat ik er weer heen wilde. Kwaliteit van de service liet dit keer zeer te wensen over. Receptionist verontschuldige zich voor gebrek aan service omdat er maar tien gasten waren, waarvan wij vieren. Ik heb zeer veel compassie met hen en de terugloop van de toeristen, dat ook gezegd, maar als er dan toeristen zijn is het wel handig om te bieden wat je belooft.(bv ontbijt op beloofde tijdstip en taxi op beloofde tijdstip) Ik zou wel weer naar het hotel gaan. Zie dit als incident. Ligt vlak bij de piramides, uitzicht vanaf hotelterras op de piramides. Super.

The hotel seems relatively old but the staff is trying hard to make it as neat as possible. However, our room was not particularly clean (especially the bathroom) and was also facing the street. With the traffic in Egypt being so messy and loud, that’s definitely something to try to avoid. If you’re having trouble falling asleep, better bring some earplugs. Transfer from and back to the airport costs 55$ which is a fair price given the drive is almost one hour long. Price is a total, not per person. Getting around the city of Giza is definitely tough without a driver or taxi. Be aware that driver’s always try to bring you to some local souvenir shops where they probably get a provision if you actually buy something. The stores are nice and the vendors politely try to sell you something and are willing to lower the prices two almost half.

Lontano dall'aereoporto e dal centro città gode di una ottima posizione per vedere le piramidi e sakkara.Ottimo prezzo personale cordiale e gentile ,offrono una colazione abbondante e diversificata.Il ristorante non e' dei migliori...ma ci si puo accontentare.Camere pulite ma rumorose.Lo consiglio per chi vuole vedere Le piramidi e area circostante.

Fördelar: Pris, Läge, Trevlig personal, hyfsat rent och stort rum (vi fick ett av hotellets sviter). - Minus: Frukosten (Dåligt utbud, dålig service, varm mat som serveras kall, kall mat som serveras för varm, möglig ost mm.. så håll uppsikt!). Restaurangen på högsta våningen: Totalt smaklös, vi blev dessutom dåliga i magen efter restaurangbesöket. Vill man spendera en eftermiddag på toaletten rekommenderas den dock ;-) I övtigt är hotellet helt okej, poolen går att bada i. (vår erfarenhet av hotellpooler i Egypten är att de kan vara av starkt skiftande stadier av förfall och renlighet). --- Advantages: Price, Location, nice staff, pretty clean and spacious room (we had one of the hotel suites). - Minus: Breakfast (Poor selection, poor service, hot food served cold, cold food that is served too warm, moldy cheese, etc. .. so watch carefully!). The restaurant on the top floor: Totally tasteless, we were also bad in the stomach after the restaurant visit. If you want to spend an afternoon in the bathroom it is recommended, however ;-) Otherwise the hotel is okay, the pool is quite OK to swim in. (our experience in hotel pools in Egypt is that they can be of widely varying stages of decay and cleanliness). Hope you´ll find the short review helpful :-)

If you look for hotel for just clean bed and shower, that's very good. But I think relatively expensive. Internet connection is very important for me, and the hotel doesn't have wireless.
