The room was very spacious and comfortable. The owners and staff were always available to help with anything you needed and could arrange any transport and guides for you. The guide that they got for us to see the pyramids and other archeology around Cairo was outstanding. Highly recommended (Rasha I think). Breakfast was on the roof terrace which overlook the Giza pyramids. The Egyptian breakfast was vast in variety and quantity. We stayed here in Giza for our whole time in Cairo to avoid the congestion in the city. The location is a quiet local neighbourhood inhabited by the horse and camel people. A good place to see local life

Communication was a bit of a challenge sometimes but always worked out OK

very nice hosts, great breakfast (incl foul and the best falafel ever). lovation is perfect for visiting the pyramids. hosts organized 2 day tours for us, which were fantastic and price was good. surrounding is very authentic - a pleasure for world traveller like us. you can walk to the south entrace of the pyramids area in around 10 minutes. we were here in wintertime, so bring warm clothes, breakfast is on the terrace. you can heat the room with the ac. this is a authentic place which is reflected by the low price. small shops for snacks and water are nearby. if you have a problem with animal cruelty, the surrounding is no place for you.

Everything! I am very enthusiastic about this place. Amina ('Mimi') and Nasser, the historical owners, are absolutely ADORABLE. Amina makes the BEST (& huge) breakfast in town and Nasser is a very nice person to talk to in English (former doctor in Saudi Arabia). They taught me a bit of Arabic. The room is very comfortable with private bathroom that is well-equipped. All super clean. But the climax is definitely the view. Direct view on the pyramids with beautiful flower-tree in front of it & the light show at night. My day was already a success after having a delicious breakfast in front of the pyramids. The place is very cute in itself. Amina and Nasser arranged everything for me (transfer, guide, etc) with their son and nephew. The area may look a bit dodgy at first but it is actually really traditional and OK. Everyone was very nice. The only 'discomfort' may be the smell sometimes: camels and horses are 'parked' in front of the hotel (for tourists around the pyramids). I don't mind personally, it's more quiet than moto bikes and that creates very funny scenes with people galloping on their horses or colorful camels. Loved it.

The fact that I had to leave. I felt at home with my grandparents to overfeed me.

Great place to stay in Giza for exploring the pyramids/Giza area. The family who run the hotel are so lovely and very welcoming and helpful. The available egyptian breakfast (costs US$4 pp) is so delicious and is absolutely massive, would highly recommend it. You can also see the pyramids from the terrace and the sunsets were beautiful

There are lots of horses and camels around the area that are used for trips to the pyramids that are not in the healthiest of conditions

The hosts were very kind and accommodating. The bedding was clean, the bed confortable, and there was even a space heater that ensured we didn't freeze during the cold winter nights. The breakfast is generous in size, you will not go hungry! The inn is on the last street next to the compound with the pyramids - it's a very rural street where you will see a lot of animals (camels, horses), it's a very rustic experience . The place was reasonably quiet and we could rest at night. The hosts also arranged a driver for us to take us to visit Saqqara pyramids - Mahmoud was a pleasure to spend time with and we had a lovely trip and experience with him.

If you want to experience a kind of homestay with an egyptian family you should definitely come here.from the moment you enter you feel welcome and safe- since the area is pretty rough!!!.the rooms are simple but clean and big and the breakfast is really amazing.you can order great take away food for dinner and the entrance to the pyramids is only 600m away.from the terrace you can enjoy a perfect view.thank you so much for your warmth and hospitality and all the best for your future.

Wonderful boutique hotel, room was spacious, modern and had everything you need. The bed was large and comfortable, we both slept really well. We were the only guests so had the place to ourselves! The view of the pyramids is spectacular, at night you can see the light show (for free!). The location is great, so close to the pyramids. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are animals kept along the road but there is hardly any smell from them, it certainly doesn’t affect the experience of staying at this wonderful hotel. Breakfast was an Egyptian feast, you will not go hungry here! Everything was delicious, eaten on the balcony overlooking the pyramids - phenomenal! Mr Mahmoud and his lovely wife are some of the nicest, kindest, most helpful people we’ve ever met. Mr Mahmoud is so knowledgeable about the area and gave us some great recommendations. It really felt like being with family, we were fussed over like our parents would, made to feel so welcome. The only constructive criticism we could make would be that the hotel is not well signposted at all, however if you tell Mr Mahmoud what time you will be arriving, either him or his son will be waiting for you. Highly recommend this outstanding hotel, the perfect choice for seeing the sights in Cairo and the most wonderful hosts. Thank you so much for our lovely stay, if we find ourselves in Cairo again we will definitely return.

I had such a wonderful stay at Farida Pyramids. Amina (she is the owner) is the nicest woman I’ve ever met. She has such a genuine heart and is so loving and caring. She did everything she could to make my stay perfect and to keep me safe as a solo female traveler. The view from the hotel is great as well, as the pictures already show. I really enjoyed my time here and hopefully I will return one day, inshallah.

The owners could not have been more helpful or kind. Arranged a car and driver to Saqquara and the Museums in Cairo. Breakfast was lovely and after eating it you needed nothing until the evening.

Nothing that was in the control of the property.

fantastic. I have been coming to Egypt for 24 years. I will say the couple that own this place are the nicest people I have met in Egypt. So very kind. Also the view of the pyramids is amazing. I highly recommend this place.
