Pyramids Crypt Hotel

This is a wonderful hotel, just a five-minute walk from the entrance to the pyramids. Everything is clean, the breakfasts are delicious, and the hotel team goes out of their way to make your stay perfect. We loved our stay—well done, everyone! Wishing the hotel continued success and everyone good health!!! We’ll definitely recommend it!!!

I highly recommend Piramids Crypt Hotel! The location is fantastic — the hotel is very close to the entrance to the Giza Pyramids complex, making it easy to walk there, even early in the morning. This was a huge advantage during our stay. The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained, and the staff are incredibly friendly, polite, and helpful. A special mention goes to Ahmad, who was absolutely fantastic — very kind, helpful, and always ready to make sure everything was perfect for us. He really made our stay even more enjoyable! The breakfast was also excellent — fresh, tasty, and a great way to start the day. But the highlight of the hotel is definitely the rooftop terrace with its amazing view of the pyramids. Having breakfast or enjoying a coffee while looking at the pyramids is an unforgettable experience. Considering the location, cleanliness, wonderful staff, great breakfast, and the incredible pyramid view, the hotel offers excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Giza, and I would happily stay here again!

Nothing

You can see three pyramids right from the roof of this place, and you can see them from the window, too. It's only a five-minute walk to the entrance of the pyramids. Along the way, you'll run into lots of local horse-drawn carriages and all sorts of things, which is a lot of fun. The owner seems to run a carriage business as well, so you could probably get a discount if you ask him. The owner is exceptionally warm and hospitable. He makes all kinds of breakfast that are really good, and fresh juice, too. He's just incredibly thoughtful in everything he does for you.

It would be great to get some directions. It's pretty hard to find by car because the sign is so small. If the owner hadn't been standing outside, I never would have found the place.

The owner offered to take us to GEM, and when we offered to pay for the ride, he said it was unnecessary. I was grateful for that.

Upon arrival at the hotel, the owner informed us that the water pipes in our room were broken and moved us to another hotel (Red Pyramids). I don't know if the pipes were actually broken, but I've seen many hotels in the Giza area use this excuse to move guests elsewhere, based on Google Maps and Booking reviews. I chose Pyramids Crypt because of the photos and reviews, and I was really looking forward to my stay. I was disappointed when I was moved to another place. I found that there was no partition between the shower and the toilet, which I didn't like, as the hotel I originally booked had a glass partition. But I figured there was no other way; I couldn't possibly drag my heavy luggage out to find another place to stay. After checking in, I discovered the sheets weren't clean, the towel rack in the bathroom was broken, and the carpet was warped and easy to trip over. I saw this hotel on Booking.com (Red Pyramids $43) which was cheaper than the original one (Pyramids Crypt $55).After we mentioned to the owner, he said that Red Pyramids was also his business, so it was $55. I felt that I had lost out because I paid $55 but stayed in a room that was worth $43.On the morning of our check-out day, at 8:00 AM, we went for breakfast. After 30 minutes, all we got was fried eggs, cucumber, tomato, cold fries, red bean puree, and tea. They gave us cheese and jam, but no bread or pita bread.We asked bread and coffee, but they still hadn't given us it by 9:00.Because we still had a trip to Cairo afterward, and we didn't know how long we would have to wait for our bread, we left at 9:00 am.
