Pyramids View Inn Bed & Breakfast

We really enjoyed pretty much everything about this little inn. It's definitely a different experience than staying at a chain hotel and we honestly wouldn't have changed if we were to do it all again! The offered breakfast was so much more than we thought it would be! It was a great mix of hummus, yogurts, breads, eggs, etc. Hit the spot as far as we were concerned and was included, which was all the better. They went above and beyond and made us a "to-go" breakfast for the day of our departure at 3am, which was instrumental since not much was open at the Cairo airport yet!! Location can't be beat in terms of the view. You really are right across the street from the pyramid complex. You can easily hear the light show, which is great when you want to hear it, but not as great if you are trying to sleep early. I definitely used the provided ear plugs, which made everything OK in my book! These folks definitely know their location's pro's and con's and have set up the establishment to try and maximize your stay within reason! The whole staff was so friendly! They even provided us with a hotspot to help us out as the WiFi was really not working well. They always asked about our day and what we saw and more than once helped us out with getting price cuts or just finding the right answer to things. It was awesome to see every age bracket helping as well. It really felt like we were just staying with family. They would remember what you told them about your itinerary and offered tips wherever possible. Side note - the portions on their lunch/dinner menu were huge for us. We probably could have just ordered one thing and split it :).

While not deal breakers at all for us, our sliding door to our balcony was not able to lock. Given it was on the top floor, we weren't worried about anyone climbing in, but still was unfortunate as it might have helped more with noise if it closed all the way. You can tell that they've tried to fix it a few times, so I'm inclined to think they're working on it. We did not complain or anything as it didn't bother us, but it is worth pointing out as an observation. Also, we had quite a few ants in the various corners of the room (again did not report as there was likely nothing that could be done and they weren't walking all over the room or climbing furniture). As a result, we don't think it was a cleanliness issue. Given the streets around the pyramids have quite a bit of litter, it's just the perfect setup for little bugs to want to be around. I DO NOT subtract it from the cleanliness of the room in any way as our room was spotless and well kept! However, I had to give a 9 instead of a 10 because these two things kept it from being flawless.

The staff is so friendly and accommodating. We felt very taken care of and had lovely meals atop the rooftop terrace. It was a dream being so close to the pyramids! Great for a two night stay to visit the pyramids before/after the tour buses arrive.

It was a little hard to sleep at night from the street noise. However, the staff communicated this in advance so we were prepared with earplugs.

The location, breakfast and friendly behaviour

Dinner

Our stay was awesome. The staff is friendly and always happy to help. The beds are really comfortable and the location is amazing. However, the best thing is the rooftop terrace! The property is located just in front of the Sphinx and the 3 pyramids. The view was unforgettable!
