Guest Reviews
- Camille (10/5): Séjour exceptionnel ! Merci - Absolument tout ! L’emplacement est top avec une vue exceptionnelle depuis le rooftop sur les pyramides de Gizeh. Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables.
Oscar est adorable ainsi que sa famille. Rien
- Neuza (10/5): -
- Carla Luna (10/5): BEST PLACE TO STAY - The energy of the place was just the right one for my adventure in egypt. I felt held, safe and at peace. The views to the pyramids are just insane. You are always there. Oscar and all his family are just the kindest and best space holders. Deeply grateful for them. Their smiles are the best. I was going to stay just 2 nights and end up staying 9 nights...
- yoanna (5/5): Fantastisch! Mooie gastheer, maar schoonmaken kan absoluut beter! - Het terras is echt fantastisch! De gastheer ook. Een fantastische man. Organiseert mooie tripjes waaronder de de trip met kamelen. Voor 1 van de gasten, die moeilijk ter been was werd er comfortabel vervoer geregeld. Eten werd besteld die je dan heerlijk op het terras kon nuttigen. Al met al een mooie ervaring. De kamers werden niet regelmatig schoongemaakt waar herhaaldelijk om werd gevraagd . Dit was erg vervelend.
Het trappenhuis was ook niet altijd schoon.
- Monika (8/5): Amazing place, I have enjoyed it. - Good location, kind and helpfull staff.
Beautiful view, great atmosphere.
- Dima S. (9/5): Супер вид на пирамиды прямо с кровати - Конечно супер вид из окна номера на пирамиды, отель на 10 этаже здания, ничего не загораживает вид. ( у нас был номер 1) и с общей терассы на 13 этаже.
Мы приехали раньше на 2 часа и нам предложили бесплатный завтрак, с видом на пирамиды!! пока готовят наш номер. Персонал 5+.
Есть кулер с водой. Завтрак средний в Египетском стиле. Грязно, волосы на полу, кровати и в душе. ( в Египте везде так) но я не могу к этому привыкнуть. Почему не уделить +10 минут и не убрать номер нормально. По этому ставлю 9 баллов. Шторки/дверцы в душе нет, весь пол в санузле заливается водой и потом разноситься по всему номеру. (и опять это почти везде так в Египте где мы были).
- Anthea (9/5): We hope to be back! - Lovely clean and cozy rooms with great view (especially on the rooftop!). Staff was kind, helpful and responsive and helped us arrange taxi when needed. We really enjoyed our stay!
- Anaïs (10/5): Superb - Magnificent hotel! Every comfort, the room was large, clean, comfortable, with air-conditioning, an incredible view of the pyramids through the large windows, a very warm welcome, very attentive staff... a very comfortable oriental-style lounge with a view of the pyramids, all for a very small price! Without doubt the best hotel we had in Egypt.
Thank you very much for your welcome!
- Hanso (10/5): I will come back! - It was perfect!
- El (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nur (9/5): Great view of the pyramids - There was confusion about our room, but luckily, our travel agent sorted it out with the workers.
The location is quite difficult to find as it is located in an alley. Close to Oscar's, there are ATMs, a bakery & a supermarket, just within 50 meters. The surrounding area is dirty, like anywhere in Giza.
Don't expect it to be a 3-star accommodation. It is a round-down place, but the bed is comfortable & no bed bugs. However, the bathroom drains clogged badly & you can't control the water heater. It is boiling most of the time. The lift is the most authentic experience here.
Breakfast was the same every day. Whatsapp Mr. Salah (the owner) the time you want to have the breakfast. The clogging drain in the bathroom, the dusty carpet, the not well-maintained compound.
- Walkiria (10/5): Amazing!! - Enjoyed a typical local breakfast, and the view from the room and roof top is amazing!! Oscar is very friendly and
knowledgeable about the area.
- Katharina (10/5): Breathtaking view - Great location. My deluxe room was big, comfortable and clean. The view from the room is breathtaking, you can see the pyramids when you wake up. It's only 15 min of walk from the guest house to the Giza plateau. The area is safe and has supermarkets, restaurants and pharmacies nearby. The host was very nice and helpful. Highly recommended.
- Stoyko (9/5): A charming place with a fantastic view. - Oscar's Place offers the best view in the Giza area, perfectly aligned with the Great Pyramid. The rooftop terrace provides a cozy atmosphere for dining, reading a book, meditating, or enjoying the company of friends. The standout feature of Oscar's Place is its exceptional hospitality. Throughout my stay, I felt at home and completely comfortable, with all my needs met.
If you need assistance with tours or anything else, just ask Oscar and Amr, the manager. They are open-minded, easygoing, and ready to help with whatever you need. They can create amazing experiences tailored to your time in Egypt. During my five-day stay, I went on two guided tours with them and had a fantastic time.
The room has a beautiful view of the Giza Pyramids, and the internet is fast enough for Zoom calls and remote work. They also offer airport transportation assistance.
I want to extend my gratitude to my amazing guides and new friends, Oscar and Amr, and everyone who made these five unforgettable days in Egypt possible.
- Morcos (1/5): The view was good otherwise everything was so bad - This is not hotel it’s apartment and staff are not helpful Entrance and building and the street are horrible
- Almudena (10/5): Amazing views to the pyramids - The rooms were nice a big. The terrace with views to the pyramids. And the host Oscar was amazing always very helpful!!
- Tsz (10/5): Unforgettable Stay - Had a fantastic stay with its perfect location and stunning pyramids view. The owner was incredibly helpful, providing valuable assistance. Highly recommended for an unforgettable experience.
- Marwa (10/5): Exceptional - I like the energy of the place was satisfying and cozy. and The view of the Great Pyramid was incredible and assisted me to have more contact with myself. I have sensed that as my home with more feel free and safe. The owner and manager were kind and helpful. I deeply recommend that 👑
- Zachary (10/5): I felt at home very kind compassionate souls I felt very safe and good energy & the view is amazing - A lot of food very feeling Everything was wonderful
- Dalibor (10/5): The best staff, felt accepted and strongly supported also with trips we asked them to do with us-very friendly and proff - The rooftop view is amazing. Breakfast whatever you choose, perfect. The room was very clean, ours was recently refurbished. Owner wants really the best for the customers, so he asked for suggestions on the improvements that he will make. Beds are very good. Internet available everywhere. Aircondition.
- Penny (10/5): Best stay ever! Transformative visit! - Amr was amazing! Don’t go to Cairo without his guiding hand! Everything I needed he went out of his way to help. The room was big and the bed was comfy… not to mention the view is better than if you stayed by the sphinx. Honestly, it doesn’t get better! I’m coming back and I won’t stay anywhere other than here! No complaints anywhere!
- Joseph (8/5): The hosts were incredible and the stay comfortable, but the room is a little small. - It has a great view. The bathroom is small
- Fanny (9/5): Very nice stay, incredible view from the rooftop, very nice host. 20 minutes walking from pyramids -
- Dr.demetalay (9/5): One of the best view in Cairo - The best view from the room and also from the terrace. The bed is comfortable, A/C is good. We thank the owner for check in us early and he was accessible any time in the day. It is not a hotel, it is a guesthouse. And for the price you pay, you can get the worth The shower was so small.
- Niels (8/5): Stunning view, basic facilities - The view is the best. The pyramids wake you up every day. Staff was very friendly and willing to help. It's very noisy around the building. Sleeping was a bit difficult because of that. Also, the apartment itself isn't that pretty. It's very functional, though. Unfortunately we booked a double bed, but we only got single beds, which would have been significantly cheaper to book.
- Nina (8/5): Very good - I had some amazing days and loved the hospitality at Oskars, komfy beds and an amazing terrasse
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Amr, the manager was absolutely amazing. The service and care provided was amazing.
Nothing was too much trouble. Amr arranged everything for us and made us feel so welcomed.
- Michele (7/5): Was a great way to experience true Egyptian hospitality! (it's still quite new)! - Breakfast had to be ordered in, so important to communicate with them as to when you would like breakfast, and what you would like. Could do with a bit more information about how to get around, and where to eat etc. No enough toilet paper or towels,, otherwise bedrooms are very comfy!
- Orsolya (10/5): MOST WONDERFUL STAY! - CLEAN, COMFORTABLE and GREAT VALUE accommodation with the most HELPFUL, WELCOMING and GENUINE hosts.
About the hosts:
I can’t praise Amr enough! He has not only been an amazing host but has become our dear friend during our stay. From the first moment he made our holiday so easy and was looking out for our best interest!
He came to pick us up from Cairo airport at 3:00 AM in the morning , drove us to the pharmacy when I had a stomach ache (not Pharaoh’s disease), and made us great breakfast and coffee every day. Amr is also a certified guide so he helped us plan our days, was our guide on some of our day trips and gave us recommendations for things to do. We can’t thank him enough for such a fantastic time!
About the accommodation:
My boyfriend and I have stayed in the Family room for 7 nights. Honestly, for the money that we payed we got way more than what we expected! We had a lovely spacious room with a massive double bed, a small but functional bathroom and a stunning view of the Pyramids and Sphinx from the 13th floor of an apartment building. Most importantly our room was clean. The living room is shared between three rooms so it’s not crowded. The view from the rooftop is breathtaking and the hosts really put in the extra effort to make the space comfortable, clean, stylish and very “instagrammable”.
About the location:
Just remember: Cairo/Giza is an incredibly busy city with a lot of people, traffic, old buildings and quite dirty streets. But this is everywhere! The building that we stayed in is in a SAFE area with shops and restaurants close by. Immerse yourself in the culture! The elevator (lift) in the building works with a remote control. Just text Amr and he will bring you the keys.
Top Tip:
Once you book your stay reach out to Amr (host) through Booking or WhatsApp. He is super helpful and quick with his responses and will answer all your questions so you know what to expect.
- Ward (9/5): Great value with an excellent view combined with a very welcoming staff & tasty breakfast - Oscar's guest house has a near perfect location.
The rooftop is probably one of the last & tallest buildings facing the Giza pyramids.
This guarantees a great view in the morning at breakfast and a calming sunset with this magnificent view.
The rooftop is very cosy accomodated with plants, a large area with pillows and even sunchairs.
I also really enjoyed the vegetarian/Egyptian breakfast that was provided and the very welcoming staff.
Thanks to the high level at 13th floor and the quiet neighborhood, it's also a very relaxing place and comfortable bed, in contrast with a rather hectic Cairo city that never sleeps. I think the shower and shower amenities could receive a bit more love. But this was just a minor issue.
- Rizal (8/5): Stayed at an excellent location and view that felt relax and warm like being at own home. - The view and feel at rooftop terrace!! And staff were friendly and helpful. the tiny (wet) bathroom
- Jill (9/5): Fantastic, authentic and caring hosts - they prioritise the needs & wellbeing of each guest. - Dietary requirements (GF) were catered for with any meal we ordered. Fresh local foods & excellent service was always provided, with an easygoing willingness to offer satisfaction for guests - no request was too much trouble. Amr & Ali graciously served the food for each meal and cleared everything away when we finished. Oscar was an excellent host and a knowledgeable, honest guide for the Giza Plateau pyramids. The accommodation has a good elevator & occupies the 13th floor of the building looking almost directly at the pyramids. There was a most exquisite view of the 3 pyramids from our room - absolutely breathtaking - and from the spacious terrace (accessed by a few steps above the rooms). Disliked · Constant street noise of Giza came through with the cool night air because I enjoyed having the window open in my room. Maybe other travellers might want to consider ear plugs, or close the window & use the aircon.
- Dawey (10/5): Feels like home with amazing view - The rooftop is amazing. Great view to the pyramids. A morning meditation while looking over the pyramids is very special. The staff make you feel home and are super friendly. It was a great stay.
The building is a bit old, but the lift a real experience. :) Maybe the carpets in the room could get an update, but its a small thing compared to the rest.
- Anonymous (10/5): If you would like to have a home cozy atmosphere this place is for you ☺️ - Amazing location, cozy place and beautiful energy. Great breakfast on comfortable time. Amazing service and help from people who have this place. They could organise for you amazing sunset experience in desert and any other excursion you are dreaming about. Good value of price and comfort. Very grateful!
- Sunniva (10/5): Exceptional - We loved it here. Comfortable bed with the best view. And the owner was very helpful.
It's a 15 minute walk from the great pyramids. It was just perfect.
- Jamie (10/5): Absolutely fantastic, and fantastic hosts and views. - I echo my last review, as we went back after we got a refund on the other hotel because it was not suitable.Absolutely fantastic hosts who warmly welcomed us back. Thabk you!
- Jamie (10/5): The best view of the Pyramids with fantastic sunset views with all Pyramid views when it's not foggy - The hosts was absolutely fantastic, and the views were phenomonal!! We had trouble with a previous place we booked, and within the hour they had our room sorted and ready for when we finished our boat tour. Always on hand to help with getting you breakfast, dinner, tours, going to the shops. Absolutely fantastic experience and Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Dashur Pyramids, Sakarra Pyramids views when the fog clears!! It was all perfect!
- Evelina (10/5): Mind-blowing views of Cairo and great hospitality - From the moment we arrived Amr was incredibly helpful and made us feel at home. Although the area could deceive you, the moment you step into the room you see THE VIEW which is why you’ve come. The rooms are basic but the terrace is stunning, the beds are comfortable and the view is the best in the whole of Cairo. Even the guide on one of our tours said he’s never seen a view like it when I showed him a photo and he’s lived in Cairo for 60 years. It’s also close to the pyramids (hence the view) so it’s quick to get there and saves you slogging an hour through traffic in central Cairo! Amr was incredibly attentive to our needs and gave us restaurant recommendations, helped us order food to the room and sorted us out with breakfast even when we had an early start. He also kindly let us have a late checkout when we had to take a night bus. We will definitely be recommending this place to friends and family.

The place is hard to find because houses don’t have numbers (we had a lost taxi driver and tour guides) but call when you’re close and your host can direct the taxi.
- Logan (8/5): In my analysis I tried to be as objective as possible. Anyway, I recommend this place! - I have no words to describe Amr's kindness. I don't know who will be at the reception the day you go to Cairo, but if it's Amr (young Egyptian man), you have nothing to worry about. It's true that, as a western person, travelling to Egypt may be very tough and challenging in many regards : the culture is so different that it's very likely that you feel unsafe and disorientated there. But Amr is the perfect person to trust. He genuinely cares about you and does more than necessary.
A few times I faced situations I was lost and couldn't trust anyone in Cairo, and he was there to guide and help me.
He makes this hotel very special. I recommend it!
The view from the terrace is absolutely outstanding! Egypt is globally speaking a poor country. Don't expect to find anywhere the comfort and technology we have in western countries (except maybe in 5 stars hotels). Bathrooms, facilities, toilets...everything there is much more rudimentary, so don't be too demanding!
Regarding this place, I can just complain about the mattresses : my mom and I slept very bad, but it might be explained by the fact that we're used to medium-firm or firm mattresses. The hotel provides soft mattresses.
Also, we French people eat sweet in the morning, so it was tough to eat salty in the morning.
- John (10/5): Exceptional - awesome view. clean room. comfy bed. neighbourhood isn't the best
- Huanhuan (10/5): Good - the room is good,the view very nice,its good place everything is ok
- Richard (9/5): Would stay here again - One of the best views I've ever seen. You have a great view of the Pyramids from the room. The roof is also just for guests and is a great place to spend the evenings and watch the sun set behind the Pyramids. The staff were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. Close to a store to buy food and drink. You have a private room and bathroom and share the living room and kitchen with other guests. The wifi was slow but the whole of Egypt seemed like this. It wasn't the easiest place to find as it's on the top floor of a residential building.
- Rossela (10/5): Good place 😄 - The rooms are clean and had air conditioner, the beds are big and Amr is very kind and kind, he helped us a lot! nothing
- Kerenza (8/5): Amazing hosts! Awesome roof top pyramid views! - Amazing location with incredible view of the pyramids from the roof terrace.
Excellent local hosts, friendly, welcoming & fun.
Nothing was too much trouble & made me feel very welcome.
Good local breakfast to start your day with amazing coffee.
Authentic & Rustic local guest house. Wi-Fi. Comfy bed in simple room. Great value for money. The shower could use a little improvement.
- Pratik (9/5): Superb -
- Andrei (10/5): Exceptional - The best host you can ask for
The best view in Egypt
Everything was perfect
