Guest Reviews
- Alessandra (5/5): - La camera davvero carina ben arredata e pulita, davvero pulita, fornita di prodotti bagno, sapone, detergente igienizzante, phon, doccino wc sostitutivo bidet. Letto molto comodo. Dotata anche di frigo e bollitore per tè caffè. Come da foto per quanto riguarda l'interno. La zona. All' esterno dell' hotel non c'è nulla, tranne un cavalcavia, il GEM è raggiungibile a piedi, vero, 800 MT circa, ma la zona è veramente isolata rispetto a qualsiasi posto per mangiare o semplicemente bere. Per me l'odore di fumo in struttura era non sopportabile, come il continuo rumore proveniente dalla reception di notte, chiacchiere ad alta voce, conversazioni telefoniche in viva voce, riunione amici.
- Maciej (8/5): -
- Lucas (5/5): Clean room and bathroom, but the rooftop is not part of the hotel - The room and bathroom were clean. The rooftop is not part of the hotel facilities.
The hotel is in a building where each hotel has one or two floors. My friend went to the rooftop using the stairs, but was kicked out but the other hotel staff.
When I asked to go to the rooftop they took me downstairs, walked me to ANOTHER hotel, to then take me to the rooftop. I couldn’t order anything there.
They shouldn’t use pictures of a rooftop that is not part of the hotel.

- haruna (5/5): - ミュージアムが近い。ピラミッドパークリゾートが近い。 レストランが近くにない。
スタッフが夜中に騒いでうるさい。タオルを持ってこない。
- Guest (1/5): - Nothing I booked two days here, and went to the hotel. I got the room and after 5 min the receptionist came to my room to give me another room with a shared bathroom. When I paid for a room with private bathroom. I refused to accept the downgrade and the boss called and told me that we have no rooms for you it’s all fully booked. Don’t waste your energy/ ruin your trip going to this hotel. Luckily booking.com returned my money immediately.
- Evelyn (10/5): - This property has ten-star rating from me. Fromand his family are such wonderful people. The hotel is modern, clean, and the rooms are spacious. The museum's view is excellent because it includes the pyramids. They offer a great view to capture those precious moments and a superb breakfast on the terrace.
- Nina (10/5): - Very nice hotel. We will definitely come back when visiting Cairo.
The breakfast was great, served on the rooftop with a great view.
The room was very clean with modern furniture.
The owner and his family are very nice people.
- Nina (10/5): - Great oriental breakfast on the rooftop.
The owner and his family are very nice. We had a great welcome. The hotel is very clean and we felt very welcome.
- Julia (4/5): Disappointing - The hotel staff were very intrusive, we felt discomfort and even anxiety
- Sherif (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay. The room was clean, and the staff was super friendly. The location was perfect, close to everything, including the Grand Egyptian Museum. The hotel felt like home, and everyone was so nice.
The staff and the owner helped plan our trip and set up tours with air-conditioned buses. Everything was easy and comfortable. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again!
- NEIL (10/5): - Ali was an incredible host. I stayed here on a recent trip to see the Pyramids in Giza on July 21, 2024. I landed late from Luxor and stayed here overnight to see the Giza complex.
The area is a bit hidden away, but very much in proximity to the pyramids (5 minute drive and 60-100 EGP). I am an international traveler and Ali contacted me on WhatsApp to ensure my arrival time.
The room far surpassed expectations. It was safe, clean, and seemed totally renovated. It was the best sleep I had in Egypt. The outside area of the hotel may leave you a bit nervous, but trust me once you arrival, you will love the room and hospitality.
Great value for the money and an excellent host.
- Masina (4/5): Not comfortable because the owner is a scammer - The room were decent and comfortable The location, the outside of the hotel is very dodgy and dirty
- Bader (10/5): Exceptional -
- Keqin (9/5): Very new facilities, short stay nice and comfortable.but goggle map is not accurate, assistance from owner helps to talk - Breakfast nice Goggle map is not accurate, so this place is a bit difficult to find for driver
- Albhaisi (9/5): I would do it again! - The family that owns the hotel were amazing and super helpful. They were very kind and made us feel like we were home. The entrance to the hotel is difficult to find. The uber and taxi drivers were avoiding that location so transportation from and to the hotel was problematic
- Helen (10/5): Our last night in Cairo - It was a family run hotel and owners very nice. The owner was very helpful andeven dropped us in to a restaurant which had a great view of the pyramids. The location was hard enough to find
- Supriya (9/5): A perfect hotel to stay in Giza - For most of us coming to Egypt, the biggest problem we face is the language. People hardly speak or understand English in this country. One great thing we did before coming to this country is to get in touch with GEMS View hotel. The owner not only provided a great stay, but also helped us greatly in arranging travel around Giza and Cairo. I strongly recommend this hotel for their reasonable pricing, cozy stay, amazing breakfast, and their friendliness . The property is under construction and may take a few days to complete.
- Dário (1/5): Scam Alert! Stay away from this place. - The only positive is the proximity to the Grand Egyptian Museum. Ali, the owner of this hotel, is a textbook Scammer. These were just the 5 main scams and problems that I´ve experienced in this hotel and after paying Ali for a 9 days 750 $ Tour Package + 120 $ camel ride which were a nightmare:
1) I was charged 120 $ extra for a 3h camel ride at the Giza Plateau, which was part of the Package that I had already paid for (only the entrance fee to the Giza Plateau wasn´t included). Ali made this rip off look like a fair price, when the Government has much lower set prices for camel rides.
2) The photos of this hotel are deceiving. The rooftop is actually still under construction! So Guests are literally and miserably served breakfast on a table in Reception as the rooftop isn´t ready for business.
3) Everyday from 11:00 pm to 2:00 am there was no water in the hotel. The owner refused any responsibility or compensation for this. And the shower in my room had water leaks.
4) On the White Desert 2 Days Tour, Ali had told me that on Day 2 I would enjoy a bath in a Hot Spring in the Desert. Turns out during the Tour I found out this was a lie.
5) The Package included 1 night each in a hotel in Aswan and Luxor. I told Ali I prefered to pick these hotels myself, so we agreed that I would do 2 separate bookings (38 $) by myself and he would then refund me as I had already paid for them in the Package. Ali never refunded this double-payment, like a textbook Scammer.
After having complained for all of this and more and having asked for a small 68 $ refund (including the 38$ duplicated payment for the hotels in Aswan and Luxor), Ali said first I would have to write a positive review and only then he would issue this refund! So this place definitely has fake reviews and I urge other travelers to stay away.
And Ali is being reported to the Egyptian Tourist Police.
- Ajith (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sam (10/5): The best decision I ever made - The hospitality from Ali and everyone at the hotel was exceptional! Felt like I was a part of their family and they bent over backwards to give me an unforgettable experience in Egypt Was perfect
- Anonymous (10/5): The staff ensured that guests were provided with everything necessary for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. All ef - The property was very clean and comfortable. There was everything available to guests including strong wifi. The computer was readily available to guests. The top balcony overlooked the Grand Egyptian museum which was stunning at night. The furnishings were well selected and stylish. It could accomodate a family or multiple guests. It was warm and welcoming. I did not observe any issues during my stay
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is very clean and hotel staff is very helpful
- Julie (10/5): A perfect place for a perfect stay in Cairo - Everything was perfect! The room, the atmosphere, the location and the team! Nothing
