Guest Reviews
- Chiara (10/5): -
- Samuel (10/5): Amazing TEAM dedicated to the Hotel and Guests - The staff was so helpful and even welcomed me in a very late check in, we're compassionate to my circumstances and made me feel safe. Having a key to the main entry door when arriving in the night.
- Samuel (10/5): Brilliant and Peaceful Oasis in the chaos - Ahmed was a really amazing host, made me feel a part of the family and gave special attention to get to know me and understand me as a human being. The sign clearly marking the location...
- Samuel (10/5): Peaceful Place with a staff that is truly welcoming - The staff was so friendly and really worked together as a TEAM. They were flexible with my situation and allowed me to keep my bags stored there until I moved to my next location, allowed me to wait on the balcony with the view of the pyramids, charge my phone and work even after checkout. Seif was extra friendly and helpful during my stay. Nothing to add
- Jana (10/5): Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen , macht weiter so. - Wir waren eine Woche dort und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Apartment war genau so wie auf den Bildern des Gästehauses dargestellt, die Ausstattung ist modern und alles ist sauber. Die Aussicht auf die Pyramiden ist der Wahnsinn. Überall in der Nähe gibt es Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und alles ist sehr gut innerhalb von wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Die Einheimischen sind sehr aufgeschlossen und hilfsbereit.
Wir wurden vom Flughafen abgeholt und wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Man fühlt sich so als wäre man ein Teil einer Familie.
Das Frühstück kann man entweder im Guesthaus direkt genießen oder man kann es sich aufs Zimmer bringen lassen, es ist sehr lecker und ausreichend, jeden Morgen hat sich Françoise was anderes einfallen lassen. Danke dafür.
Ahmed hat uns überall hinfahren und wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit, er spricht hervorragend englisch . Ich kann nur Danke an das gesamte Team sagen. Was hat uns nicht gefallen? Zwei Dinge haben uns nicht gefallen, aber das spielt keine Rolle für die Bewertung. Es gab Kaffee zum Frühstück nur gegen Bezahlung.
Wir konnten nicht in Ruhe spazieren gehen, da die Gegend dafür nicht geeignet ist, die Stadt ist unruhig, laut und es gibt nicht wirklich Bürgersteige und es gibt auch kaum eine Möglichkeit die Straßen in Ruhe zu überqueren. Es ist ein sehr ärmliches Viertel dort .
- Malte (10/5): -
- Sara (10/5): - Desde el primer día ya nos hicieron sentir super cómodos, el apartamento era increíble. muchas gracias por todo, nos ha encantado toda la experiencia en general, volveremos ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Tímea (8/5): - A szálláson a szobák szépek, a kilátás fantasztikus, a szállásadó kedves de több pozitívumot nem tudok elmondani. A környezet katasztrófa, sétálási lehetőség nincs legalábbis biztonságosnak nem nevezhető. A sarki kisbolt méregdrága, mindenhol a lehúzás tapasztalható. A liftben belül nincs ajtó, baleset veszélyes. Az egy közös erkélyről látható 3 piramis, ez az egyetlen pozitívum. Keressetek inkább másik szállást
- Khilola (10/5): For this view, cleanness, friendliness it is Gold! - First time see such a clean guest house, very grateful for this as it takes a lot of efforts to keep place so tidy at Giza Plateau. Emad, owner himself, very friendly and his team made me feel like home, Ahmed helped a lot with shopping around, taking to ATM as it’s very important, especially if you are for the first time visiting Egypt. Recommend this place sincerely.
P. S. The place have one of the Greatest view you can have in Giza and for this price is Gold!!!
- Sarah (8/5): Female travellers - The staff are fantastic. They're very sweet and helpful people.
The inside of the apartment is nice and clean.
We enjoyed the pyramid view and watching the world go by from the balcony As two female travellers I think it's worth mentioning the location. We enjoyed that it was an authentic local area and we felt very safe, however being two women stepping out onto the street without a man was uncomfortable. A lot of men would stop and shout at us and approach us in the street, which was more than in any other parts of town. We learnt quickly to order Ubers inside the building and wait inside until the driver arrives and then walk out to get directly in the car. For us we didn't enjoy that part of the location. It felt safe, just uncomfortable. That's no fault of the guesthouse but we feel women should be aware of this when booking so that they can decide if it's for them.
- Sarah (8/5): Very good - Great view of the pyramids from the lounge balcony, friendly and helpful staff, good position in Giza and for the pyramids. Breakfasts were a bit small.
- Elizabeth (9/5): Once you are inside it is very comfortable and inviting. - The people are wonderful, helpful, genuine and even fun.
- Susanna (9/5): Ahmed speaks good English and very helpful, he is fantastic 👏 - Almed is a wonderful young man, speak good English ,very responsible and diligent. He helped me all the way during the trip. A private room with ensuit bathroom with this price is amazing. Alds, there is a magnificent view of 3 pyramids. location is somewhere very local, you need to learn how to commute.
- Bart (10/5): Exceptional - It's a perfect place, the staff I absolutely amazing. They helped me with everything. And I could even get some dinner after arriving quite late. Nothing!
- Susi (8/5): Very good -
- Jiajie (10/5): Very good stay, meet my expectations! -
- Cameron (10/5): This is the spot. Don't miss it! - Great accommodation and a perfect location and view of the Giza pyramids from the balconies. The surrounding area is safe and a nearby marketplace ensures that you can buy some fresh fruits and vegetables or stop at a cafe without any trouble. The host and all of the staff were very welcoming and helpful, as well as providing inexpensive opportunities to see the surrounding areas and sites. The included breakfast was also very good. I am certain I will return here someday in the future. Everything met or surpassed my expectations. Showers were a little tight for a tall guy like myself, but I managed to make it work.
- Jan (10/5): Great view to pyramids - Highly recommended! It was hard to find a good accomodation in Giza. A lot of others look they have fake reviews. This guesthouse surprised us and exceeded our expectations (already got used to Egyptian standards). It's really clean, comfortable and the view from the common balcony is amazing. It's not in the first row to the pyramids but you have a great view to them. You can go by walk or take a tuktuk there. Local restaurants and shops are around. The staff is nice, one of them is French woman speaking fluent English and we had a very nice talk every morning during the breakfast. I think it's she who sets more over European standards of cleanless in this guesthouse. The breakfast is also very nice. If you need, they can arrange you trips you want (we didn't use,just the option is there).
- Sandra-traveller (9/5): Impeccable cleanliness, perfect location in Giza, and amazing views of the pyramids! - Isis Guest House welcomed me when I arrived a little earlier in the morning. I must say that the place is impeccable in terms of cleanliness, with super comfortable beds, a nice and spacious common area, and best of all, the most amazing views of the pyramids, either from the balcony or the rooftop.
The surroundings are very safe, in a local neighborhood, and access to the building is also very secure. You can reach the pyramids area in just less than 20 minutes on foot.
Although I only spent one night, the time I shared with the staff learning about Egypt and the culture was priceless. Thank you for everything... Can't wait to go back :)
- Adriene (10/5): I was travelling around Egypt for a month and this was by far the best place I stayed for a great deal. I highly recomme - The view of the pyramids is incredible, the staff truly care and want you to have the best experience possible. They arrange tours and make sure every detail is taken care of. Nothing
- Gonzalez (9/5): Superb - Very warm attitude from all the team. Made me feel welcome very fast
- Wesley (5/5): Passable -
- Wesley (5/5): Just pleasant - The view from the main balcony, where you can see from the distance the 3 Pyramids were amazing. You get a free welcome drink on your arrival, which is a cup of Egyptian tea; after that you have to pay for any extra hot drink, or bring your own. Although Ahmed offered me free tea sometimes. -The internet only reaches around reception and the lounge which was very frustrating. You might get some weak signal in a few rooms
-location was a bit dodgy to get to the accommodation, and it’s about 18 to 20 minutes walk to the pyramids, so it’s walkable
-The room was very simple, with a tiny window on the top corner overbooking electrical cables and unfinished buildings from the area. So you don’t get to enjoy any pleasant view or day light, so I found it very depressing. Internet was super weak in the room and you can hear all the other guests and the staff from the room
- Andreas (10/5): 12th floor with great pyramid view and lift - Extremly helpful staff, they even helped me to buy an egyptian sim card for small money. Also they make a nice breakfast and serve dinner as well.
- Ana (3/5): It’s fine for no more then 2 days. - The view was good When we arrived there was no internet, there was a lot of noise outside we couldn’t even sleep. One day there was no water. We scheduled breakfast for 7am cause we needed to leave and they started to make the breakfast at 7.15. Our toilet had a broken seat.
- Kathrin (9/5): Great view, very quiet location - Great view of the pyramids from the terrace and room. Very quiet location, although only about 1.5 km on foot from the main entrance to the pyramids, it is not a touristy area. We were able to stroll through the streets in peace and enjoy our drinks in normal cafés at normal prices. And we really liked it there.
- Qiujun (9/5): Superb - surprised i could stay so close to pyramid
the staff are friendly and helpful
- Gunasekaran (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gunasekaran (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anil (5/5): Passable -
- Ahmed (8/5): Very good -
- Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - It's in a very good location. The owner is super nice and attentive. He offers a takeaway service for food at a very low price. They do tours and even offer a tuc tuc cab to supermarkets. Highly recommend this place. Rooms are very clean with air conditioning.
- Sara (8/5): I love the idea of guest house and the staff - The view is excellent
There was a great lovely and cool staff
Quiet 'clean and comfort one I get some difficult issues with the location when dealing with ordinary drivers it will be sooooo good to have a small bus with your logo to serve the guest with reasonable fees as marketing tool too
- Kristel (8/5): Good option for a very short stay - • Wonderful view over the Pyramids -> priceless
• Big room and very very clean
• Nice terrace where enjoy breakfast or whatever you want • It’s not very close to the Pyramids like it looks in the pictures (25 minutes by walk)
• Breakfast timetable is very short (7am-9am) not possible when your fly arrives at 5am and you need to sleep.
- Fatima (10/5): Amazing :) - This place was perfect I could fault it in any way. The view was beautiful and the stay was perfect. The staff were also amazing and went above and beyond :)
- Augustan (8/5): Very good - The staff were polite, friendly, and very helpful. Because there are only a few rooms, it has a family atmosphere, so it is easy to talk to other guests. The view of the pyramids is outstanding! The guest house is in the poor area, so it does not look wonderful from the street.
- Matea (10/5): What a time to stay in Giza - I was looking for a place with a good view of the city and the pyramids. I got the best 😊
The room was nice and clean, the welcome tea and conversation with the hosts gave me an even better impression. The view is incredible live, a combination of real life and history, so many years of difference and so many connections between the two cultures.
Best recommendations! 🤗 Everything was perfect.
- Tasman (9/5): Superb - Excellent service from all staff and friendly owner. The rooftop view of the pyramids is phenomenal.
Giza itself is not a tourist area but that made it all the more interesting.
- Denise (10/5): As an experienced traveller to Egypt, I would recommend this property for cleanliness, friendliness - Fantastic breakfast for a small hotel, great staff, exceptionally clean, best of all, the view! Nothing really to dislike.
- Thalia (10/5): Book it! - The view is insane. The staff are so nice and helpful and it's super handy that they offer food too. I'd definitely stay there again.
- John (10/5): I only booked for 1 day but I’m staying from a week . - Everyone who works here are welcoming and helpful.
The owner Emad is very helpful and makes sure that you have what you need.
Amed and Hany couldn’t do enough to help.
- Arhmir (7/5): Good - The view is beautiful
Clean room the neighborhood is very dirty
The breakfast is not good
- Jayshree (10/5): Despite my late arrival, the staff were friendly and accommodating. - Not much of choice for vegetarian breakfast. Surprised to learn that I had to pay for coffee, tea & milk. It must be explained that which is not included in the breakfast and all extra charges.
- David (10/5): Ideal for a stay in Giza - Great location for walking to the Pyramids and the view from the room/reception was really nice. A bit of a way from Cairo centre but Ubers are cheap and convenient. Room was great, breakfast too. The owner and his wife were both lovely. Very good value for money. Surrounding area/building might not look great but we felt safe walking around there. Nothing against the hotel itself, but the prices quoted for tours by the young guys working there are extortionate - do them yourself as its easy enough, or find a private tour. Also the airport transfer was expensive for what it was ($25). The car we were picked up in was falling apart, and the driver barely looked at the road. Much better to take an uber.
- Evangelinev (8/5): Nice place - Friendly staff and nice environment
- Yvettesreview (10/5): nice place you wont regret no hassle when you go outside unlike staying near gate too pyramids. - Friendly staff and always willing to help and making sure guests are comfortable. The place was very nice modern decor and everything worked as it should. exceptionally clean and maintained to high standard. The breakfast was egyption and very nice. The locals friendly and dont be worried about going out its fine you can walk to the pyramid gate/tickets, or get a tuk tuk or take a tour with the owner. We are independant travellors so we didnt. All good
- Giulia (8/5): comfy room with beautiful views! - we lived the view and the cleanliness of the rooms. the staff was very friendly and helpful.
the breakfast was always fresh and fulfilling. the Wi-Fi signal was weak, in our room there was almost no signal.
the area outside de guest house was very dirty but it was pretty safe.
our room was very cold and didn’t have much light.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - The place is very clean, amazing breakfast and stunning view of the pyramid.
- Akeid (8/5): Very good -
- Zephaniah (10/5): Exceptional - Nice view of pyramids from the balcony. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Good Egyptian breakfast
- Geoffrey (10/5): The view from the guest-house is magnificent. The staff are helpful. Good value for money. - Emad, Francoise, Ahmed, Abada and everyone else were able to arrange anything I wanted to do, efficiently and at a reasonable price. I could be served the meals that I asked for, at the times I wanted. The location of the guest-house is in a slightly grubby side-street, but once you are inside the guest-house everything is clean. The location is convenient for the Sphinx.
- Oscar (7/5): Good - The view from the terrace. The common livingroom and the people from the guest house. shower has no pressure.
