Gawharet Al Ahram Hotel - Гіза

Generally it was a good experience, clean room, okay facilities. At one point we made a local call to pizza hut from the lobby and they charged me 9 Egyptian pounds for it, which I thought was exuberant for Egyptian standards, so the charges of the hotel are very steep. The mosque at 4:30am every morning only woke me up once, the other days I didn't […] hear it. Make sure you get a room facing away from it. The pool was cold and couldn't use it, but otherwise clean.

I enjoyed staying here. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean, big, with a comfy bed and i could even see the pyramids from my window! Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent location, near the pyramid. Notice that expedia and google map has a wrong address of this hotel. This hotel is near the cross between ring highway and al ahram blvd. It takes about 30 minutes by walking to the ticket office of Giza Pyramid. The breakfest is good. The room is clean and comfortable. Valuable for this price.

Second day there my girlfriend got her phone snatched from out of her hand walking down the street, so I'd say the area is rough. My reccommendation: go the pyramids and see the Cairo museum and get out of Giza/Cairo. Other cities like Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan are much more tourist friendly, cleaner, relaxing, and beautiful. Rooftop bar/restaurant […] was really nice. Not the best service though, and english was questionable. Rooms were pretty clean, nice bathrooms, and free Wi-fi. Overall I'd say a 3.3, probably higher if the neighborhood wasn't so rough.

This hotel is not 4 star, it's should be 2 star. Expedia should remove this hotel from 4 star rating, the reason i choose this hotel as it shows on expedia as 4 star but in reality its below 2 star. Hotel real name is not Husa Pyramids as wriiten in english, i was confused when i saw the name outside of the hotel, hope expedia will correct this.

Good budget hotel close to the pyramids but far from the airport. Not ideal if you are a light sleeper, as we had loud music from a nearby nightclup till 1am 2 out of 4 nights on weekdays, and a Mosque very close with very loud prayer calls. Helpful staff .

Good hotel for the money you pay, it is about what you would expect. Breakfast was good and if you're only in the city for a short while it is close to the pyramids. But is pretty far from the airport.

The staff of the hotel was very good special cleaners always cleaned our room very good. Surroundings of the hotel was terrible, loud noise and mess. I was disappointed with the staff of the hotel restaurant because we have to serve ourselves even we was the only guests. The hotel offered us the trips, but the prices were different both on reception […] and in the agency directly. But the guide was still with us. The breakfast buffet was very good. So i can say the price of the hotel correspond to services. Читати далі

Ahmed provided a very safe and pleasant trip for us. He arranged all our travel in Egypt and recommended excellent tours around Cairo and to Alexandria for a great price. Our guide Nasir was excellent as well. He worked with us to give us the experience of a lifetime.

The Husa Hotel has been the best hotel thus far on our trip from Israel to Egypt. The staff was perfectly attentive and the value could not be beat. We would recommend using the hotel service to arrange transportation to the Pyramids or the Museum as the streets can be very crowded and confusing.

I wouldn't clasify this hotel as 4 stars on European standards but it was a good value for money (pay 2 nights and take the 3rd for free). Room was spacious and reasonable. good side view on Pyramides. However, road is extremely congested and busy 24/7!! Breakfast is very poor quality but can't compalin much as was included in the room price. Room was […] cleaned daily to a good standard. Surrouding area is very poor, only reason to be there is to visit pyramids otherwise you will need a taxi everytime you need to go to see the Nile or downtown (costs around £3-4 and takes around 30 min journey). Internet access was available in lounge and you might get a weak signal in your room depends which floor you are in. ALL IN ALL it was a good value for money for no more than 3 days Читати далі

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. We stayed in one of the suites with a view to the pyramids. The breakfast was ok, but nothing special. The rooftop restaurant has a spectacular view. One warning: The management wants to entrap you in their own tourist trap, and does so in a way we felt was sleazy and deceitful.

The double glazing wasn't very effective. the traffic was quite noisy. The food wasn't very good it appeared to have sand in it quite often and it made it gritty.

i thought this was a nice 4 star hotel to stay in, very close to the pyramids in giza. its about a 30 min drive to the pyramids (in traffic, witch there always is in Ciro). this hotel is not new but it is very clean. there is a nice restaurant on the top floor with a balcony, with a nice view of the pyramids. breakfast is basic, the food is good and […] clean too. (24h room service too) there is a indoor pool witch was out of order when i stayed witch was disappointing. it was the only hotel i could find in giza with a indoor pool (i satyed in winter), so better call the hotel to check its in order if you want a pool. other than that if you want a cheap hotel to stay a few nights just to sleep close to the pyramids and nice food this is good. i wouldn't stay here if i wasn't going out during the day and staying in the hotel all day. but of coarse you are going to Egypt to see the country, not stay in the hotel. when in egyipt beware of people trying to rip (tourist)you off, if you like somthing BARGAIN dont be scared to start off at 1/3 the price, you could end up having it for 1/2 the price. and never buy somthing without agreeing a price first. people will hassel you on the street to buy suvineers and stuff just, ignore them and they will leave you alone. but some of them can be very persistant. just ignore them its not rude in egyipt. i hope this helps Читати далі

I would recommend this hotel to anyone, tourist or business person. It is very well located for downtown Cairo and for visiting the tourist "hotspots".

Quite good for the price...not luxurious, but reasonable comfort and location...taxis are cheap when using meter, so location is OK. Good view of pyramids on a clear day...only 1k away, but invisible on smoggy mornings. Bkfst was only passable..bit boring after a few days. No real gripes...staff were quite accomodating.

This hotel is located a few miles/ kilometers from the Giza pyramid complex, which contains the great pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx. It is also not very far from Khan El Khalili-bazaar. It is a full 45 minutes from Cairo Airport (with no traffic), so prepare to leave early on departure days. It took us 2 hours to arrive there from the Airport because […] of Cairo traffic. The hotel staff is extremely nice and helpful. The staff can help you arrange trips to the different sites in Giza and Cairo. Our room was spacious and clean by Western standards. The hotel has three restaurants, which makes it ideal to eat at in the mornings before day treks and/or in the evenings after exploring the pyramids or Cairo. Our food was tasty and up to Western standards too. The hotel is located in the city of Giza, which is right across the Nile from Cairo, on Giza's most important street Al Ahram. A visitor gets the authentic Egyptian urban experience since the surrounding neighborhood is neither scenic nor sightly by Western standards but has a Middle Eastern charm to it. Nevertheless, the hotel is safe and has 24 hour security. The drive from the airport to the hotel is very interesting to say the least since Cairo has monumental palaces, museums and Mosques as well as decaying buildings and urban squalor. Overall, this a great hotel for an authentic Egyptian experience. Читати далі

Location of the hotel is good as it is close to pyramids but far from other attractions like Egyptian museum, Khan-al-Khalil and downtown.

Metro station is not far from the […] hotel and it could easily be used to explore the city but the tourist informaiton center tries to scare you taking metro so that you hire the car and driver from them which was quite expensive. My room was neat and clean as the hotel was as a whole. The only disappointment was the buffet breakfast. It should not be called buffet breakfast at all. It consisted of few bakery related items saran wrapped in a small plate but no hot meal. Juice was offered in the smallest possible glass size but tea and coffee was OK. Hotel's rating as four star should definitely be reviewed. Читати далі

For your money this is a very good location (close to the pyramids etc) and a clean hotel. I have stayed here with my family (2 teens husband and wife) and we enjoyed it. Breakfast is normal Egyptian type: cheeses,eggs, breads, pastries, tea/cofee. Although our hotel was in a busy business area (shopping, pharmacy, etc) we did have to go through some […] poor areas of town, Some people may not like this aspect, but I thought it showed my 15 and 18 year old daughters to be greatful for their blessings in life. For those who come from countries where smoking is limited to certain areas, I must warn you the men at the doors, manning the detectors, smoke. This is the only drawback to this hotel...but understood since most Egyptians smoke. Читати далі

We had a great time here, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel it self is nice enough, and kept in a decently clean state, its not north European standards, but I had no discomfort at all. The food in the hotel, is acceptable, when their week-time chef is in, it is really pretty good, tip decently and talk to these friendly people and they […] will make your stay a great one. And the restaurant on the top floor have a great view of the pyramids, so did our room. I read a comment on the tour packages that can be booked in the hotel, and i disagree that it is a rip off, as anything else in Cairo, do negotiate, but here is how my experience was: 2 People spending a full day 9-17 going to pyramids etc, He asked for 950 EL and we negotiated down to 800 EL, i thought that was a bit expensive but agreed. In the end this was with entrance fees totaling 400-450EL + a meal + car and driver, and a guide that spoke good English. So in reality 350EL=45€ for guide and driver/car for a full day. Come on.... If you are in Cairo to see things and not only lay around the hotel, this is a great bargain. Taxis to anywhere in town should be around 30EL=4€ There is a metro a walk away, and that cost 1 EL=0,15c Читати далі

If you are going to travel to Egypt with someone of the opposite sex (if one is from a muslim country), remember you need either: 1) Marriage certificate 2) Seperate rooms (unlikely you will be offered this option) 3) Egypt's temporary marriage certificate (can be bought at a solicitors for around 300EGP) Make your base in Alexandria rather than Cairo. […] Cairo is dirty, over priced and very busy Alexandria is laid back.

Husa Pyramids is a good, clean, three (maybe 4) star hotel. In comparisson with the majority of other services and areas in Cairo, that was an air-condioned haven. The staff were very friendly, helpful and responsive to our needs. Breakfast was ok, not great, and if you have teenagers like me, you may wish to stock up on cereals. A kettle is also needed […] as the rooms don't have one, and if you need a hot drink you need to purchase from the restaurant or room service. Prices were reasonable.

The room we stayed in was directly beside the elevator on the 8th floor, so we had the sensation that people were always knocking on our door to come inside (from the elevator noise outside).
