Guest Reviews

• ahmad (6/5): - لم اتمكن من دخول الحجز؛ المالك ألغى الحجز لعدم توفر الماء في العقار
• YIN (8/5): - 去萨卡拉很方便是在旁边的村子里。比较热闹的村落，很多人小孩子还有牛马，增加认知能感受到几十年前中国村落的景象，虽然环境条件一般般，但当地人都很开心和放松。房主家热情，帮着停车进门有茶水早餐有点晚但给提供。女主很漂亮孩子很可爱。 村道难行要有思想准备，导航很绕但能到目的地。天黑后采购不方便周围小孩子会one刀嘞。
• Manuel Matthias (10/5): Charming place a little offside the beaten tracks - Mohammed, great guy, great family. Felt very welcome. The location is quite rural, but that makes part of the charm. And Mohammed will help with everything that might occurs Misinterpret the blanket as a towel, so spent a cold night. But really can’t blame them, for me not properly checking 😂
• Dimitri (9/5): - Le propriétaire et sa femme ont été très accueillant, de bon conseil et très gentil ! Je recommande fortement cet endroit pour toute personne voulant vivre une expérience chaleureuse. Je reviendrai !
• Emilie (5/5): Mix feelings about this place. - The rooftop offers a great view of 2 different pyramids including Saqqara Pyramid. The breakfast was good as well. The room was average nothing standing out. We were offered water, tea and some fruits as a nice gesture. Its far from the main Giza pyramids about 25 min by car which can be nice to relax but there's nothing around. No restaurants, no stores either. They are not offering wifi, so you better have data to organize your transportation. The host offered to made us dinner. We asked for the price but was told don't worry, I will let you know later when I figure out the price. We then agreed, dinner for 2 was served it was very good. But to our surprise upon check out we were charged 30us for it. It is a bit expensive for Egypt considering that it was homemade. We were face with some attitude by the owner and made us feel uncomfortable to a point that we wanted to rush our check out. We were also offered a private driver for the day to see the Saqqara pyramids and a museum to our surprise he was asking 75us ... we ended up finding same thing online for 15us.
• Nikolai (1/5): Плохо абсолютно все, лживый хозяин, проблемы с сантехникой, враждебное население. - Более менее чисто, на этом все. Сантехника текла на ноги, вода плюется и выставить теплую нереально, или кипяток или холодная, утром воды нет. Все время вас пытаются развести на деньги за любой шаг. Договорились на ужин с барбекю, и за 3000 фунтов дали горелые куриные ноги и немного баранины. На улицу без сопровождения выходить опасно. Нас с супругой закидывали камнями местные дети. К пирамидам в Абу Сире сходить нельзя, все закрыто. Завтрак это яйцо с лепешкой. Хотите запомнить Египет и египтян как страну мошенников и врунов, езжайте сюда!! Ах да, прямо под окном стоит репролуктор из мечети и почти все время, и абсолютно всю ночь вы будете слушать завывания и молитвы с громкостью рок-концерт.
• Bardales (10/5): Unique place to stay - The host was very helpful and made my stay last week truly pleasant. The place is cozy and located very close to the stables, so I was encouraged to go for a horseback ride—an experience I will never forget. I am very grateful. The breakfasts were delicious, the room was comfortable, the air conditioning was working perfectly, the balcony also was really nice and I am sure I will return soon. The mosquito enter for a while but nothing that couldn't be handle Beside that all was really good
• thenightjourney (10/5): Great retreat from the hustle and bustle of Cairo. - Fantastic stay in this hidden hotel-villa, set in the village of Sakkara, about 35 minute drive south of El Monib Metro Station in South Cairo. The accommodation is situated close by to the desert and ancient tombs as well as the horse riding stables including Habibi Horse Club. The accommodation itself is remarkably impressive and a good detachment from the city hotels. Mohammed is a great host who makes a satisfying Egyptian breakfast. He showed me how to order food from the restaurants nearby who delivered the food to the villa when I wanted lunch and dinner. My room had AC and a walk-in shower. I will happily stay again! I liked everything about this villa, I wish that I was able to stay there longer and explore the friendly people who live in this village, who all came across as genuine and caring
• César (8/5): Un séjour génial - L’hôte est exceptionnel. Vous serez reçu avec un thé à la menthe du jardin et de l’eau fraiche. Il vous fera même visiter son village sans attendre de contrepartie en retour. Il est disponible, serviable, tout comme sa famille et peut vous organiser la visite des environs. Si vous voulez voir un vrai village authentique, je vous conseille cet endroit. La vue depuis le toit est magnifique (surtout au coucher du soleil) Le système d’eau courante est capricieux mais au final, nous en avons eu à chaque fois que nous en avions besoin.
• Yan (8/5): We were very satisfied, it feels as comfortable as being at home. - Mohammed gave us warm welcome and hospitality. The hotel is well located with a panoramique view from terrace, Step Pyramid of Djoser and the pyramids of Abusir are nearby. Mohammed proposed us a sunset horse riding towards the pyramids of Abusir, it was just amazing !!! The room was clean and the dinner, breakfast were delicious ! We booked a trip with Mohammed, he was so kind and helpful, he helped us setting up an itinerary within Sakkara and Memphis and gave us many good suggestions. The following day, his driver picked us up at the hotel, he was so kind and very good at the photography and helped us taking a lot of good pictures and videos then drove us to the airport safely 👍👍🙏Please transfer my big thanks to him! Thanks a lot Mohammed for making it all possible in a short period. We felt very good and very welcome at your house !!!👍👍🙏
• Cédric (10/5): Exceptional - A beautiful yellow house with a rooftop with view on the pyramids of abusir and saqqarah. The breakfast prepared by Samar is delicious Mohammed is the best man in the world. He did everything for us to feel at home. He finds drivers and tours from locals and always keep in touch during the tour in case something goes wrong. He is an amazing guy and has become one of my friends.
• Dirk (8/5): Egyptian style small hotel with nice view and friendly host - Good location and wonderful view. Perfect host, nice talking too.
• David (10/5): A fabulous base for visiting the many marvellous monuments - Mohammed’s place is ideally situated to visit the sites around Saqqara and Memphis. Mohammed organised a local driver at a competitive price and it was far better than a tour out of Giza or Cairo. Having breakfast with rooftop views of the Step and Abu Sir pyramids is not to be missed, as are evening meals watching the sun set over the desert. Mohammed is a perfect host who is always willing to go that extra mile to enable you to enjoy your stay away from the noise and bustle of Cairo. Thanks Mohammed for all your hospitality. David
• Brian (10/5): Exceptional - Was a amazing place and view's close to loads of history the host was fantastic and looked after you and sorted us a car/driver for the day very reasonable rate took us out for a full day of site seeing ordered us great food at night ♡♡
• Andrei____ (10/5): Exceptional - Nice house, nice owner and price. Too cold in the room in January.
• Frankema (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful stay at Sakkara Inn. Mohammed is a truly outstanding host. He arranged everything for us, including very accurate help with our damaged car. Thank you Mohammed for making us feel so welcome!
• Irek (10/5): Exceptional - The view on the pyramids and quiet .
• Diego (10/5): Exceptional -
• Scott (10/5): Very Homey Feeling and Excellent Host - Muhamed is very very helpful and goes the extra mile to make sure all is ok. This applies to inside and out the guesthouse. He followed up to make sure I was ok while walking to get food and while seeing Pyramids in the area He keeps the place spotless. The yard and patio area are very nice and relaxing. Room was very clean and nicely outfitted. I spent another night beyond this booking. Location to food yet second night realized you can get great food delivered.
• Cassandra (9/5): Quiet Desert getaway good to visit Red and Bent Pyramids and the Step Pyramid in Djozer. - Amazing view from of several pyramids from the roof patio with comfortable furniture and sun shade. I saw both sunsets over the deserts and sunrise next to a mosque. Good breakfast, very friendly host. Arranged a car without a hitch to view the top Saqqara Pryamids, older than those that are from Giza. The location is very quiet, surrounded by stables at the edge of the desert, which gives a fabulous view, but there is no nearby cafe’s. If you want to enjoy the ancient sites like I did you will not mind, and dinners were available.
• Zahereddine (1/5): Very bad - Very old, very dirty, too many insects.
• Salah-eddin (10/5): Great stay at Saqqarah Inn. Highly recommended. - The property is beautiful and spacious. We have spent a great time in our lovely room. At the roof, we have a great view of the desert and pyramids. Lovely breakfast. It has been an amazing experience with Mohamed, as he was very helpful and present with us. He is fair and honest on any deal, either trips and food delivery. We highly recommend Sakkara inn if you would like to spend some time at Sakkara and visit the wonderful sites near. The driver Abdu was also helpful and gives us great information about Sakkara. Mohamed will organise everything for you at a decent price. Supermarket is not far from the Inn if you wanted to do some shopping. Nothing. All was good.
• Ulrich (10/5): I will come again! - My stay at Sakkara Inn was just perfect. The hotel is like a quiet oasis at the fringe of busy Abu Seer. The roof top terrasse is a very fine place to have breakfast looking towards the pyramids of Saqqara and Abu Seer. My room was comfortable and very clean. Mohammad is an exceptional host; he organised not only diner but also my trips to the sites of Saqqara and Gizah bringing me into contact with the very reliable driver Abdu (you really feel safe going with him!) and the lokal guide Mahmoud. I loved staying there - and slept very well. Nothing.
• Sergej (10/5): I highly recommend at this area! - Absolute satisfaction from my side. The accommodation was in standard condition, just as I expected. What I can highlight is the amazing view from the rooftop overlooking the pyramids and the superb breakfast included in the price. However, what I must praise the most is the absolute willingness and communicativeness of the landlord Mohammed, who is incredibly friendly, helpful, and willing to assist in any way. He helped with purchases items for the journey, safely exchanged money at a favorable rate, communicated with the car rental company on our behalf when we had an issue, and even provided recommendations for desert trips. From this perspective, considering the price, location, communication, and assistance, highly recommended! Finding the location was a bit challenging at first, but with GPS on our phones and a phone call, we eventually managed to locate it without any major issues. The internet was weaker on the upper floor, but it worked without any problems on the second floor.
• Chris (10/5): Excellent value. Wonderful host. A stop for the Adventurous. - Mohammed is a wonderful host. The bed was the most comfortable, the towels the most soft, the room the most stylish of all my stops in the whole of Egypt. This place is the most wonderful value in a home of a Gentleman and his family. Wonderful view from the the rooftop of the nearby Abu sir and far away the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Beautiful horses in the nearby stables. A perfect location to explore the other pyramids of Egypt. I was given a delicious Egyptian Pigeon for my supper and the breakfast was wonderful too. It was a bit hard to get to using google maps. We went through the nearby village but it was the wrong way. Didn't take that long though so no problem really.
• Tmj79 (9/5): Superb - Mohammed and his family are great hosts. He is extremely friendly and helpfull. I enjoyed his hospitality. He owns a beautifull hotell. The hotell is very close to both Sakkara and Dahshur. Both places are worth a visit. Dashur ls the best. I had two mornings without water in the bathroom. That needs a fixing. It is not a dislike but just general advice. The village is not very small and like a labyrinth. The sakkara inn is not easy to find since it is in a little side street. So never leave without a GPS or google map. There is an ATM but a bit of a distance from the hotel. The hotel does not take card so make sure to have enough egyptian pound and american dollar. There is also not a lot of places to eat but Mohammed and his family could make you dinner.
• Tom (9/5): Superb - Clean room, great view of Abu Sir pyramids. Very convenient for visiting Dashur and Saqqara. The hotel does not have Wifi, I had data so it wasn't a huge issue for me but it seems a fairly basic thing to be missing in 2024 and the place is not particularly remote etc. The nearby Mosque is very loud.
• Alexandra (3/5): Poor - The place is pretty difficult to reach. The road is bad and you have to cross the village. There was no cover on the blanket. The room was full with mosquitos. In december the room was cold and there was no possibility to heat. The wind was blowing in around the window frame. There was no hot water, just some lukewarm water. The breakfast was said to start from 9:30 and the host refused to offer us breakfast box.
• Heb (10/5): I'd like to go there again and bring with me friends and family! - This hostel was a faboulous discovery. So well placed in between the pyramids!! If you go on the balcony you'll get an impressive view. The rooms are spacious and neat. Our fair host Mohammed gave me the best reception, helping me to find everything i could need. He was as well interesting in his talks and advices. there should be more places like this in Egypt!
• Joseph (10/5): warm and welcoming, great views - Mohammed is a fine host and will take care of you. Saqqara is a village outside Cairo, but it is very safe and has much to offer. Pleasant sunset views from the rooftop, excellent breakfast, and lots of fascinating things to do. Highly recommended!
• David (8/5): Very good - Good location and quiet place.
• Nataliia (10/5): Peaceful place with Sakkara views - Mohamed was incredibly kind and hospitable. After Cairo we were looking for the quiet place to be able to sleep quietly and stay and it was the best choice. Great views from the terrace to the Sakkara pyramids, great breakfast. Mohamed organised for us horse riding in Sakkara and trip to the desert and oasis as well. And he invited us for the Egyptian wedding of his cousin which was unforgettable experience. Highly recommended to stay in this place.
• Ivana (9/5): Superb - Lovely, quiet location, Mohamed is a very good host, has helped us get organised with all the sightseeing. We wanted to stay close to horse stables for riding and the hotel is close to nice stables co-managed by an english lady, where the horses are well cared for. Whilst there are no restaurants nearby, Mohamed arranged takeaway based on what we liked, for a very good price. There were fantastic views from the terrace, a great place to just chill out in the sun. We had a lovely stay. The room could do with a lick of paint and a bit more furniture. Also beware of the 4:30am call to prayer. But these things didnt bother us much. Well worth the stay.
• Samuel (7/5): Good -
• Veerle (10/5): Surprised by it's softness - Beautiful location. Close to less known piramids and Sakkhara piramid. An oasis in between a local community. Friendly owner with rayonating gentle energy. Thanks for hosting us!
• Yasuko (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (8/5): Basic, but good value with generous host. - Mohammed was friendly and very helpful. He did all he could to make my stay as pleasant as possible. His friend, Abdul, who drove me around to the sites I wanted to visit was also very hospitable and helpful. They make a good team! The facilities are run down and basic, but considering the price I can't complain. Mohammed intends to upgrade the facilities, but that will take time and, of course, increase the room rates!
• Kieran (10/5): The Jewel of Sakkara. - The beautiful garden and hotel was the first thing that caught our eyes attention. It really is a beautiful place to stay. The professional manner that the owner treats his guests ,the view from the roof top is amazing. We had breakfast and dinner each day and the food was delicious freshly cooked .He always made sure we had plenty of cold drinks and enough to eat . We seen a lot of ancient sites thanks to the owner organizing a tour for us. The tour guide we had for the day , good English and very knowledgeable and stopping for cool drinks without having to ask. The owner driving us to our new destination on zamalek Island. Nothing.
• Carla (8/5): Very good - The location is great, with a fantastic view to the pyramids. Mohamed is very kind and offer us dinner at his home, as it was Ramadan and there were not many options around. He also organised transportation to the Bent pyramids and Memphis.
• Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - Really It is a perfect place to stay in sakara area. It is very relaxing, calming and quiet. The room was very pleasant, it was cozy and clean. Breakfast was excellent. Mohamed has always been friendly and incredibly helpful, really he is very kind and nice guy. He arranged for me an excellent driver "sheref" who took us a tour around sakara and dahshur. Overall I had a wonderful experience, and on my next stays, I will definitely check into sakara inn again.
• Lenka (10/5): true egyptian experience in the heart of abusir -
• Benjamin (8/5): Very good - Good location with view over Abu Sir and Sakkara pyramids. Nice to have breakfast included and the staff is really nice and helpful. Thanks Mohammed! No wifi
• Rere (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic place لا شيء
• Vladimir (10/5): Exceptional - I recommend it! Hospitality of the owner is on high level, breakfast is really included , it's good. Nice view from the roof of hotel where you can have a breakfast and meet sunrises and sunsets. If you have any questions or you need some excursion on the private car with the driver, you can ask the owner about it. Great thanks to Mohammed for his hospitality and help.
• Gilberto (10/5): very relaxing place where we pass very good moments. - location, close of all the pyramids, mice and cozy hosts, views from the roof terrace. the access street do not have pavement, the water have few pressure and some times miss and is it a little bad if we shan’t take shower and no water, but apart of this everything is it nice and good for the price.
• Alfred (6/5): Great for the adventurous, not for the posh - More B&B than hotel, this is a beautiful old building. Mohammed Said and his wife are extremely gracious and helpful hosts, and the room rates are quite good. More authentic than the tourist area in Al Haram, but not for the delicate; speaking Arabic would be a big help. It can be difficult to get rideshare pickups, as the place is hard to find. There are no restaurants or shops within walking distance.
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - The Sakkara Inn is a small, homely hotel with excellent views from the terrace, located in the ancient village of Abu Sir. Our room was clean and comfortable. The host, Mohammad, is attentive to detail, kind, and helpful. We had delicious breakfasts, and he arranged for us to eat dinner at the hotel on the terrace with magnificent views of pyramids. He was also helpful in arranging for us horse riding in the dessert and introduced us to a specialised guide on ancient Egypt. We found our guide to be very professional. We had a wonderful, fun learning experience. This location is ideal for those who want some time away from Cairo to enjoy authentique village life and unique sunsets. I wish I could have stayed longer.
• Vincent (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tina (10/5): Don't hestitate to book it! - This is an authentic Egyptian stay, with five star hospitality! It was perfect for exploring Saqqara and Darshur and Mohammed and his family do everything to make us happy, welcome and comfortable. Our guide Abdu has been very helpful and great company and everything is at a very reasonable price. The view of the desert and pyramids from the roof is stunning. And we loved the little cats, welcome fire in the garden and constant supply of tea! I look forward to coming again next time I'm in Egypt. The Egyptian breakfast they made for us is probably the best we had in Egypt, and we also went to the village for fresh cheese, fresh buffalo milk and fruits. Highly recommended!
• Steven (8/5): Very good - Lovely guest house in a quiet location only a short drive from Sakkara and other attractions. Amazing host, comfortable bed and delicious breakfast 🙏🏼 Pyramid Niuserre is a 5 minute walk away, and although temporarily closed for visitors a beautiful sunset can be viewed from the roadside.
• Eva (9/5): I recommend this place strongly for all those who don't want to be on typical tourists paths - Host Mohammed and his friend Abdul were very friendly, helpful and flexible with everything. As a alone travelling woman I felt very safe and respected. It's wonderful to have breakfast at the roof with the view on the pyramids. The hotel is a little oasis, quiet and cozy. Perfect place to relaxe, no TV but nice chats with the host. The prayer call is a bit loud because the mosque is right next to the hotel. You depend on a driver as the hotel is on the rural side. You can go out but it is no typical touristic place with fancy places to go.
• مروه (10/5): Exceptional - Great view No thing
• Sooglamour02 (10/5): Exceptional - We had two different reservations with Mohammed as we extended our stay with him which allows me to write another review for him :) I am happy to do so because we really want everyone to know how good our stay was :) Thank you again Mohammed :)
• Laura (6/5): Pleasant -
• Christiano (10/5): Attention, Kindness and Hospitality - Sakkara In is special for the attention, kindness and hospitality of its owner, Mohammed. Aware of his country's ancient culture, he seeks to learn and interact, always with elegance, with the cultures of the visitors he hosts. And that unfolds to always serve in the best possible way. It is a human figure outside the curve.
• Sooglamour02 (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect, especially our host Mohammed was just awesome, he took great care of us and helped us with everything we needed. Can highly recommend this accommodation to everyone.
• Magda (10/5): Exceptional - Mohamed is amazing guy, so much friendly and helpfull. He organised everything we asked for. We could try delicious local egyptian food
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing host, we felt like VIP guests for a very good price. Everything was perfect
• Vincent (8/5): perfect place - perfect location and very friendly staff beds can have a upgrade
• Francisco (10/5): A place I will never forget. - I like every single thing of this hotel, Firstly the kindness of the owner Mohamed,always there to help me and to give me some tips for my adventures, I had a very good traditional breakfast every day so that gave me the energy to enjoy my day visiting different places nearby, The step pyramid and some other like the red one or the bent pyramid are not far from the accommodation and Mohamed gave me the recommendations to do it on a budget,I am so pleased to met him and now having him as a friend to always remember. Sorry but I don’t have anything bad to say about this hotel.
• Beck (10/5): Exceptional - So happy I decided to stay here! it is outside the hustle and bustle of Cairo
• مروه (9/5): We had good time Thanks you mr Mohammed - Home feeling with pyramids view Between the Abysir and Sakkara complexes Sakkara Inn staff is excepcional. Mohammed takes carecof all details creating a custom experience and surprising with gentle gestures. I like everything
• Joseph (10/5): Exceptional -
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We loved the everyday residential neighborhood setting, far away from street vendors and hustlers. Here, it was just us and the locals. Mohamed, who speaks good English, was a most attentive host who went out of his way to be hospitable. He makes a great cup of tea! His breakfasts were ample and delicious. This family run, 4 room house guest is a very good value for the money and a lot of fun for off the beaten path travelers who want to get to know the local people.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Der var kanont personale, men det var godt nok varmt om natten
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The place is unsafe the taxi services get difficult to geting there also the police services There is not any kind of ATM visa
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to stay right next to pyramids. Very quiet, nice backyard to relax, and outstanding hospitality from Mohammed who drove us around and helped us find anything we needed.
• Leonie (10/5): - A good location for visiting Giza and Cairo. The accommodation would suit backepackers well.
• MA (6/5): Hôtel accueillant et serviable - Nous avons passé plusieurs nuits dans cet hôtel et avons été plongé dans la véritable vie egyptienne. Le propriétaire a été très accueillant et serviable. Il s’est chargé de nous guider dans les visites du Caire et alentours : musée égyptien, place Tahrir, pyramides... L’hôtel quand bien même situé dans un petit village donne une super vue sur les pyramides ABU SIR et Sakkara. Le village est rempli d’écuries, ce qui permet de faire des petites balades à cheval au couché du soleil... paysage de dattiers très joli. Chaque matin un petit déjeuner était servi. Petits bemols, cafards dans la salle de bain, pas de fenêtre dans l’une des chambres, le climatiseur tombe en panne souvent...
• Verified traveler (4/5): hotel in ver cl Hotel clost - Needs alot of repair and update! Only good for a person on a budget1
• Lisa (2/5): Avoid. dishonest. - Pros: got us an early morning taxi to the airport. Taxi driver was great. Cons: owner was not up front about the cost of touring services - would not give us a clear answer on cost until after the tour. He would not honor his posted "complimentary airport shuttle service" and instead engaged us in a long debate about why we must pay for it. He did not give us our change when we paid him. There was no wifi as was also mentioned complimentary. No breakfast. Hot water was turned off. Hotel is somewhat isolated - difficult to get to area sites. Overall shady and uncomfortable experience because of Mohammed, the manager.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - منطقة غير مؤهلة لاقامة فندق
• Ben (10/5): Archeologist's dream! - What a lovely retreat for me, this was. I stayed one month, studying the wealth of history which closely surrounds Sak kara Inn. Cleanliness and service never faltered. My luck brought me there, it was surely 'kismet'. My thanks go to my fine host, Mohamed, and his top notch assistants. I didn't know Arabic, no problem, they are all multi-lingual. I didn't know the customs, no problem, they were perfectly friendly with their hints and conversations. Mohamed knew everyone that could be helpful to my trip, and made himself always available for my travel and advice needs. I'm a single, average Joe from the woods, USA, with a normal job, and I always felt he treated me like his brother. I will go back to Egypt, and only use him and his advice. I know I can count on him. Sakkara Inn is as beautiful as the pictures show and located next to some of the richest history on earth. Thanks Mohamed!
• Jean-marc (10/5): - Joli petit hôtel en dehors des zones urbaines (vraiment sympa), avec un magnifique couché de soleil à côté des pyramides. Super accueil et vraiment des personnes de confiance qui se sont mises en quatre pour nous.
• Katie (10/5): Amazing hotel in the desert! - This hotel is run by Mohamed who is a lovely man with extensive knowledge of the area of Abu Sir. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sakkara Inn Hotel. The hotel is located in the desert outside of all the hustle & bustle of Cairo & provides breathtaking views of the Abu Sir pyramids as well as the Djoser Pyramid. Our host was kind enough to take us to the Abu Sir pyramid & even offered us dinner in the desert with some locals. Hospitality & kindness were show to us during our entire stay at the Sakkara Inn Hotel & we will definitely be sure to return on our next trip to Egypt.
• beyan (2/5): Ghost house - First this was the worst experience ever. For me and my wife.that place didn't have a hotel standard at all.i have a lot to say what I can say is we have to move to another hotel after two days our booking was for 10 days.
• Kam Tong (6/5): Good service but very expansive for tour package - I choose this hotel because the comment is very good. The hotel owner, Mohamed suggested I do this hotel review in front of him but i refused. I afraid I won't write the bad thing and gave the higher rate if I do this review with him. I don't think it is good idea to do the hotel review in front of the hotel owner. I doubt many people give 5 star because they request to do the review with hotel owner. Mohamed gave the good service that I can try the real Egyptian experience. However, it is difficult to find the restaurant and public transport in this village. Mohamed can provide all the transport included the Pyramid visit. I can said Mohamed is a good hotel owner and provide very good service if you don't mind to pay extra money which is double, triple or more to the standard price. I paid the package for Pyramid visit which include everything from Mohamed but I request to paid for the Ticket and Horse Tour guide at the end. (Everything package means package with food, transportation and tour planning.) I can save triple cost for this tour if I find private taxi service instead of Mohamed service. Mohamed provide the safe and convenience tour for me but good service is equal to the higher cost. If you don't care about the money, it is very good to choose this hotel to enjoy the Egyptian experience.
• Mohamed (10/5): Excellent - Mohamed was a great host he was very polite and very helpful. I made a friend for life. Very hospitable.
• Andy (10/5): Friendly and quiet place to stay, convenient for C - Made to feel very welcome by all, most attentive staff, gorgeous breakfasts. I was able to use Mohammed and Mahoud's services - at a reasonable rate - to explore many of the sights and get into and back from Cairo. Mohammed is highly experienced and competent. I had the chance to arrange visits throughout the country at good rates. In addition, there is local transport to and from Cairo, which with their Metro, made getting around the city very easy. Some people are staying away from Egypt because of security concerns. I would say that the hotel is very safe; it is away from the targets favoured by extremists and is in a village where everybody knows everybody. This means that any suspicious people would be easily spotted by the locals who abhor terrorism.
• Larry (10/5): Wonderful people. - Very Nice People. Great Place to stay.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - I just sated 2 days and left the hotel everything is fake, for example, the address of that place what they writes is fake you cannot go Yousef , the name of the manger Elline " there is no one her names Elline in that place , they said wifi internet but it doesn't work so you have to pay for good spot and they took extra money 100 Egyptian pound , if you need taxi not everyone can reached you So you have to use uthire taxi it cost you extra money as usual . And the breakfast comes with deity plate and with flies even the neiborhood with barn with horses and another kind of animal. The smells is too bad , and much more I could not writ it here. So I moved to another hotel and please could you refund the money for that hotel.
• Verified traveler (10/5): From one family to another stay here. - My family of 5 and I rented a few rooms while on holiday in Cairo. We loved the experience. Mr. Mohamed took very great care of us, he was a kind and gentle spirit and made our vacation very special. He organized all meals, travel, tourist, drivers a site seeing and excursion to Alexandria which was wonderful. About the hotel it has more of a bed and breakfast feel to it. It feels like visiting a family member with the attention and service that the hotel staff provides. It also felt like we rented a flat instead of a hotel. We had traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. We also shared tea and coffee in the beautiful garden each day. Also, you can see 5 different pyramids from the hotel, the most famous being Abu Sir, which is the oldest pyramid.
