AKHNATON Pyramids View Hotel With Rooftop Access & free airport pickup

Fabulous hotel with the most incredible views of all three pyramids! The staff are absolutely lovely, rooms are clean and break is simple but nice.

Nothing. Really amazing stay

This hotel has very good staff members who were very helpful. It is also located close to the pyramids and has a nice rooftop terrace with an incredible view. They also provided a few airport shuttle which is very convenient and helped

Breakfast was very nice with beautiful views overlooking the pyramids. However, cappuccinos and lattes are available at an extra charge; only regular coffee with milk is included. The room was spacious and very clean, and the air conditioning worked very well. Our room had a side balcony with a view of the pyramids, which was a lovely bonus. The front of the hotel is also well maintained and paved, which gives a good first impression. The hotel organised a free airport pickup, which was excellent. Communication was very good throughout, especially while we were trying to find the driver. Immigration at Cairo Airport was extremely busy and slow, so having clear communication with the hotel made the arrival much easier. The hotel has an elevator and a 24-hour reception. There is also a rooftop terrace serving food and drinks at lunch and dinner, which is very convenient. Another positive point is that the road in front of the hotel is not too busy, so the area feels relatively calm.

Five minute walking distance to Sphinx entry. Only 15 minute drive to GEM. Great view of all 4 Pyramids from rooftop and some rooms.  Particularly fantastic at sunset. Our room was large and clean with separate lounge area and balcony with views of Pyramids. Large bar fridge with tea/coffee making facilities. Large bathroom with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Good air con and lighting. Breakfast was included - although a limited buffet style spread - its taken on the rooftop terrace with views of Pyramids Looks like the building has been recently renovated.

Unfortunately there were so many things we didn’t like that we cannot recommend this property. Giza as a whole is pretty third wordly and chaotic, however keeping this in mind, these were our complaints. Noise was a constant problem both during the day and at night. Inside hotel - noise from other people was amplified by the tiled floors.  Our room was on the 2nd floor and all we could hear was the people upstairs constantly dragging chairs across the floor. Also inconsiderate guests partying on their balcony for hours (midnight to 3:30 am), talking loudly and slamming doors in the middle of the night with absolutely no regards of others trying to sleep.  Reception did nothing to stop them. Outside hotel - Car noise, animal noise, constant dogs barking, people noise, call to prayer music and chanting from mosque acoss the road at 4 am, even fireworks noise, it was just endless noise. The state of the road this hotel is on, as well as smell from the animal excrement that covers it, and the stock pile of rubbish just down the road was shocking to our first world eyes and sensibilities.  It really stunk so you could not open room window or fully enjoy the balcony. Being on a street that has an outdoor horse and camel stable directly across the road was more than interesting.  If you don't like animals being whipped and mistreated this is not the place for you. Wi-Fi internet provide by hotel was only intermittently available often dropping out and with limited range within the room. To be fair, I think that most hotels in Giza near the two Giza Plateau entries probably face these issues.  The place is ...very unique.  If you want to avoid these issues it might be best to stay in Cairo and just visit Giza on a day trip.
