"It was nice to have a room with a view of the pyramids, but it was quite noisy during the day because it was along the road. It was great to be able to have breakfast while looking at the pyramids! Also, it was only about 100m to the ticket office, so it was very convenient. There were shops nearby so I had no trouble buying drinks and snacks. I could get around by Uber bike for a cheap price, so even though it was far from the old town, it wasn't a problem."
"Location is awesome. Their roof top oversee all 3 pyramids and the staff are also friendly and helpful to take loads of pics. Room is big but I think there is bit too many chairs and felt a little cramped. Air conditioning is great and shower is basic. Heater doesn’t work but they did fix it fast. Owner is very friendly and always welcome feedback and give lots of helpful advice. Worth if you’re coming with a big group."
"The hotel pleasantly surprised:
1. Ideal location relative to the pyramids. Opposite the entrance to the hotel there are ticket offices for buying tickets to the pyramids. From the 2nd floor, where breakfasts are held, it is an ideal place to admire the views of the pyramids. On the 4th floor, from the restaurant, there is also a wonderful view of the Pyramids at any time of the day. We watched the light show in the evening with a cup of aromatic tea.
2. The service of the hotel team is also ideal. All the staff are friendly and ready to help in any situation. We arrived very early and they helped us check in earlier than the standard time.
3. The cleanliness of the hotel was also a pleasant surprise. The hotel is modern (we found the construction date of 2023). The room is clean inside, everything works. Snow-white clean bed linen, soft pillows.
I recommend this hotel for accommodation 💯💯💯💯💯"

"View of the pyramids from the first line - yes. The entrance and approach to the hotel is through a run-down and dirty alley of 400 meters, nearby there is only local ”color”. There seems to be partial repairs, but it seems not, crooked and unfinished. There is hot water. There is a heater. There is breakfast, but after watching the process, we did not want to have dinner. The owners are kind and smiling, as are everyone else."
"Very friendly! Interior area greatly decorated! Global roof terrace as a dining area with a nice view directly to the pyramids! Crazy!!! At 2 nights for 2 people only paid 105€! MfG Karl"
"피라미드를 즐기기에 아주 좋은 장소입니다. 뿐만 아니라 각종 투어 픽업이 근처 kfc에서 이뤄지므로 위치가 매우 좋습니다. 새벽 1시가 넘은 시각에 도착했는데도 체크인이 원활하게 도와주었고, 화장실과 침구도 편안했습니다. 무엇보다도 호텔 루프탑에서 조식을 먹으며 피라미드를 볼 수 있어 좋았습니다."
"It is super close to the east gate of the pyramid, 2 minutes, and the window is the pyramid and the Sphinx. Although it is the hotel environment, it is a great scenery. It is not too good to watch the pyramid light show on the rooftop of the building, saving the tickets to go in."
"Fantastic hotel! It is just in front of the pyramids so you can go there by a walk. You can see perfectly the ”sound and lights” show there, it has the most beautiful views from its rooftop and you can have dinner in its restaurant (sandwiches, pizza, pasta, egyptian food and so on). This is the perfect choice."
"I recommend this hotel because you can spend your time peacefully and safely!!
The view may have been better if we had stayed closer to the pyramids, but I was very satisfied with my comfortable stay and would recommend it.
・Hospitality is the best.
They welcomed us warmly and kindly, and were very helpful. All the staff greeted us with a smile. They didn't try to sell us tours, and we were able to spend our time peacefully and safely.
The female receptionist in particular was the most kind and wonderful person, and I think her kindness is reflected throughout the hotel.
・The hotel was also very clean
・The hot shower had strong water pressure!
・Nice room furniture
・Delicious breakfast
・Nice view (It's different from the hotel in front of the pyramids, where you can see the three pyramids, but I was very satisfied to see the big pyramids and the city view together. This view is also majestic)
・The hotel is located in a residential area for citizens, so there are no touts.
・It's about a 15-minute walk from the central area where you can see the three pyramids, but it was safe to walk there.
・There is a big road nearby, and there is a lot of traffic until late at night, so some people may be bothered by the noise.

I would recommend it for a safe and peaceful stay!
The view could have been better if we stayed closer to the pyramids, but we were very satisfied with our comfortable stay and would highly recommend it.
- The hospitality is excellent (especially the female receptionists. Her hospitality is one of the best in the world!! )
They greet you kindly and warmly and are very helpful. There is no tour sales pitch.

"Great view of the Pyramids from the location as long as you don't mind the busy road next to the window. The staff were great and very friendly and trying their best when things were not going as planned. During our stay the water pressure wasn't high enough to get water hot through the gas geyser so the hot tub was useless."

EEsee MunkhIf this hotel is in your budget, JUST BOOK IT! You can’t find any hotel that is better than this. I swear, Al Farida is one of the 2 best hotels in Giza!
I was searching for a Giza hotel for over 2 weeks, yet couldn’t find any. Decided to get a hotel after I arrive in Giza by seeing with my own eyes and chose this one.
THIS HOTEL IS BRAND NEW, 2 months old as of January, 2025. When you enter the room, you’d smell wood from new furnitures, very pleasant. Shower is nice, instantly hot.
Location is very good, 50-100 meters from the entrance of Giza Pyramids but no smell of horse and camel dung. As it’s so close to the pyramids, the view from the rooftop is breathtaking as well…
Staff are amazing as well. Lovely Muhamed (both), Eslam, Tahir… They’re all fantastic, will make your stay great. Also, you’ll see the cutest bellboys there (only 15,17 years old).
In short, JUST BOOK IT. Hotel rooms look exactly like on the pics. Don’t hesitate. Trust me!
Minor issues to fix: Curtains were half in our room, breakfast and food takes more than 30 minutes.
YYIN BINGThe room is not very big, but the cleanliness is good, I stayed in the room has a small terrace, can see part of the pyramid view, the rooftop restaurant is invincible, the pyramid panoramic view, while eating breakfast, while admiring the pyramid The view, full of happiness.
Ssakib binhasanThe hotel is one of the oldest hotels nearest to the pyramids. It's one minute walking distance to pyramids main entry. As an old infrastructure they tried to renovate at their best but however there may have lacking ie. Lights functioning, lock system etc. But I recommend all for their wholehearted support and generosity towards their guests. They are all the way helpful. You can also book transportation from them, I believe that will reduce your troubles outside with taxi negotiations.
JJelena SWe spent wonderful time at Hayat Hotel and Giza. All stuff of the hotel are so amazing and friendly, especially Mohamed, Semir and Ahmed on reception who were exceptional. They were really putting so much effort in taking care of us and making sure we have everything we needed in the hotel and our tour trips around the Giza and Cairo. Muhamed gave as a warm and friendly welcome, surving us fresh friut juices that were a real refreshment and we really needed it after we got scammed on the airport. We fell in love with the view from the roof top of the hotel, which has the best possition and the best view you can get in Giza, with all the Pyramids and Sphinx like on the palm of your hand. As we seen this view and friendly stuff of the hotel we decided to stay longer in Hayat Hotel. So Mohamed extended our stay in the hotel for 3 more days with the same amount we payed over tour operator and got us better room with a view. He also gave us new Egyptian sim card with mobile data. Hotel offered us great tours around Cairo and Alexandria, and we had excellent time seeing all the beautiful ancient places and learned a lot new things about this marvelous and mysterious place of Egyptian culture. With our tour guides, Hala and Ibrahim, and driver Atif, who are all wonderful people and were doing their best to make our stay in Egypt unforgetable, we spent 4 days in sightseeing. The food in hotel is great, very tasty, for a free breakfast you'll get many choices of traditional Egyptian, Mediteranian, continental and vegetarian kitchen, with coffee and tea, and fresh served fruits. It is a real life-time experince to eat your morning breakfast and drink your coffee at the footstep of the Sphinx and pyramids which energy is felt strongly. Sabir and all waiters and weitresses were nice and helpful in their service. We got lunch or dinner for free everyday, since it's in the tour package when you book the trip tour with the hotel. It was a great and lovely expeirence, we enjoyed a lot in Hayat hotel and if we plan trip to Cairo again we would for sure come here again. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone.
GGuest UserThe location of the hotel was definitely convenient — it’s very close to the train station, and there’s even a convenience store just a minute's walk away, which made grabbing essentials really easy. Every day, I could see the pyramids from my room, which was absolutely amazing and definitely the highlight of my stay.
The hotel staff were also very kind and helpful, always willing to assist with anything I needed. However, despite these positives, the hotel itself was quite disappointing in terms of cleanliness. The lobby and hallways felt a bit neglected, and my room didn’t seem very well maintained — the carpet looked worn out and there was a musty smell that lingered throughout my stay.
Also, even though the location is great, the entrance to the hotel was hard to find and had an uninviting atmosphere that made me hesitate before going in. Overall, it’s a place with some unforgettable views and kind staff, but if you care a lot about cleanliness and overall atmosphere, it might not be the best choice.
AAkkarpanLocation, location, location! Mohammed and Mustafa and staff are lovely and the best thing about this is location. Also, AC is great and hot water in shower, all really good things. Splurge and get the balcony, because if you get the $15 room, it’s an inside room - read everything carefully. But the balcony gives you breakfast with the pyramids. A couple of doors over there is heaven‘s lounge which you can get beer and alcohol at which is lovely to spend the evenings at with wine under the pyramids. You will get nothing of that here. I do have a bit of a bone to pick with trip.com because they didn’t do their research as there is no restaurant, there is no bar and there is no pool or gym in this place, which is why I downgraded the amenities. However if you were going to Giza for the pyramids, this is the place. Yes it is right behind the camel and the horse staging area so from 8 o’clock in the morning till quitting time which is 4 o’clock in the afternoon, you will have the authentic experience. If you do not like trash, if you do not like dust, if you do not like smells, you should probably just not be coming to Egypt in general! Because it is everywhere. However, if you want the authentic experience at the base of the pyramids, this is the place. Oh, and the Internet is crap… So just make sure you have a really good cellular plan because it’s no better anywhere else in Egypt either.  From our experience, and we have traveled everywhere, the left over British colonies just don’t have a really great Wi-Fi infrastructure. 
SSkee82Staff Amazingly friendly and helpful, The views are incredible from room to resturant to roof top, where i got to watch and hear the evening light show in fully glory.
Booked for my 1st 2nights in Egypt, perfect location in front of the sphinx side entrance to the plateau, literally a 2 min walk..
This side of Giza is rough and ready though.. with animals being housed on the ally leading to the entrance so expect the smell of horse and camel poo (which wasn’t a problem once in the hotel) also expect to be bothered a lot by the local hustlers and kids begging for something/anything..
The streets are noisy and hectic this side but you also get a more authentic Giza experience,
The Hotels staff were super accommodating and welcoming, they were willing to help organise trips and guides but I wasn’t in need as i already had stuff arranged..
Breakfast was basic but enough to get your day of adventure started with plenty of option around for off site dinning.
The best thing apart from the staff was the view tho.. with all 3 great pyramids and sphinx in view and close enough to get the full effect inc the sounds of the light show.
Would recommend for a cheap budget stay close to the entrance of the plateau with the best views
GGee WooIt was really great and pleasant stay
Hospitality was great
Happily they had elevator
Room was clean and I could see the pyramid from the room
Welcome drink with pyramid view was also great
Breakfast was the full course menu with a huge volume and definitely beat the pyramid and spinxs view
It was great except wifi
Wi-Fi wasn’t reachable at all
That was fatal for a traveler.
During relaxing one night stay, enjoying the pyramid view, it was ok without wifi
YYaoyaoWe booked a deluxe room, but we were given a standard twin room, and it was not in the listed hotel, but in a simple hotel converted from a residential house in a nearby alley. The room was not big, the furniture was simple, the wifi was slow, and breakfast was served on the terrace. The food was full, and it was refreshing to sit in front of the pyramids and eat breakfast. The environment was not very elegant, but the Giza Pyramids were across the road, and it was very convenient to enter and exit the attractions. At night, you can also watch the pyramids' concerts and light shows on the hotel terrace.
Llucila Del Rosario RomeroStaying at Phoenix pyramids View it filled me with great joy to be in this hotel, and share with all its staff. And it's super cheap. The fresh, nutritious and very varied breakfast. Since before my arrival in Egypt, they were very careful that everything was fine. The service from the airport to the hotel was completely free. Then upon arrival, Mr. Hany gave me a small tour around the area and introduced me to his friends from other hotels and businesses around, who kindly and as a courtesy gift gave me fruits and water. In the morning an excellent breakfast with the spectacular view and unique of the great Pyramids. The tours they offer are different places and you can feel in this hotel like your home and with your family. Thank you d do o much to Mr Hany (from Human Resources management) Hossam (the driver) and all the people who is part of the staffs. Shukran jazilan. Hamdoullah! I hope to see all of you soon INCHALLAH 🪴🙏
