The positive:
Wonderful views. Very cheap. Very cozy rooftop. Wonderful staff and owner. Truly beautiful people.
The negative: Low standard. Worn down. Not a nice area. Dirt roads, stray dogs and garbage all over the place. Close to the highway, so it’s noisy.
For my purpose, this was a good enough place, but I would probably try somewhere else next time. For me the dealbreaker was the noise from the highway when I was going to sleep.

Very nice staff! All of them.The owners/operators were very engaged with all the guests. Special thanks to Ahmed, who greeted me on my prior visit just to check out the hotel, and again yesterday when I arrived. Very professional.
Thanks to the owners/operators. Gabrielle (sp) and Mohammad. Even all the guests were cordial. I met several from Ireland.
I had a double room with city view just for me. I specifically book my room to determine if I wanted to rebook the following year, of which I already did.
The rooms have been remodeled and are very clean.
The terrace is so nice, especially at night with the view of the pyramids. I was lucky to be there doing a full moon where the moon was directly beside the pyramids. What a sight to see. You can also watch the skydivers early in the morning around the Pyramids.
Breakfast is served in intervals over 30+ minutes or more. Basically, coffee/tea/juice earlier and then veggies and cheese etc, followed up by eggs, falafel and dessert. So, don't do what I did and fill up at the beginning and have no room for the rest!😅. Make sure to tip the cook(s). They do a fantastic job. Thanks to everyone that made my stay wonderful.
*Just a heads up for future guests if you have never been to Giza before. This hotel is located in in the middle of the desert, just like the Pyramids, so you will see lots of dust/sentiment outdoors as you would in any desert city like in Phoenix, Arizona. USA, for example. Inside the hotel is pristine.

Not fit for purpose
It's a shame to write this as the people who run it seem nice and are trying to earn a living but unfortunately this place is not suitable for anyone except budget backpack style travel.
The fixtures and fittings are poor, beds terrible, showers rubbish and breakfast sub standard.
The area felt too rough to wander around.
Worst of all, getting any Uber was a nightmare as they kept getting the exact address wrong and wanted us to come on the main highway! Dangerous!!
The view is marred by the highway and general atmosphere.
Sadly I have to advise, do not stay here until they make it fit for purpose.
The positive reviews are either budget Travellers with low naive expectations or more likely people asked to post positive reviews to boost their ratings

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Is this REAL? I arrived late and was tired so I had to stay the night in this joke of a place. It was meant to be 2 nights but next morning, first thing (after free breakfast) I ran away!!
Pros: Nice view from the roof. Homemade cakes n biscuits were nice. Friendly staff(more about staff in cons!!).
Cons: Area is like a war zone: stray dogs, dirt roads with more potholes than all the roads in the world COMBINED!!! Feels unsafe
Unprofessional staff: The guy met me in flip flops!!! And was eating pumpkin seeds or something...I mean...R U FOR REAL???
Rooms n place are NOT as you see in photos. Deceiving big time. The place needs a lick of paint and proper redecorating and cleaning. TV in main area(the roof) freezes every now and then, so watching a live champions league game was a nightmare. What is this place??? I didn't know wether to cry or laugh!! Never again.
