The hotel is directly across from the complex of the Pyramids of Giza. They have a rooftop balcony from which you can see the pyramids in their entirety and watch the Light & Sound show for free. There are many shops in the area, but be careful when deciding where to shop. The guesthouse's kind owner gave me all the local information I needed. You've got enough food for breakfast to get you through the day. If you want to be in front of the Pyramids, I highly recommend this hotel.

The private pyramid tour I scheduled through the hotel is wonderful, too, with the exception of the guide's deception that we would be seeing a papyrus museum, a cartouche maker, and a real lotus/papyrus scent. In the end, these "STORES" (not museums) convinced me to buy items from them for an absurdly high price. *more details on my social media page

Perfect views! Almost every window is a beautiful view on the Sphinx and Pyramids. Even when you do not have the best room, you can still see the Sphinx and Great Pyramid from my room window. For me this view is the number one reason to visit and return. The rooftop is open 24/7 and yes I enjoyed the view from this location too. The staff was always helping me with planning my day trips, if you stay longer the airport transfer is for free. The street is full of shops and restaurants, but you can get water and tea unlimited for free in this place. Rooms are clean and have good showers. Breakfast is included and you can enjoy the Sphinx and the pyramid too or just have a chat. The Pyramids ticket office is just at the other side of the road, so easiest location to avoid the queue. Furthermore it is also a great place to avoid heavy traffic and start a day trip to Dasjour, Memphis and Saqqara for example. And don't forget the brand new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).

No complains. If you want a place with a more party vibe you should just pay a visit to the neighbour. This place is perfect if you just want to enjoy the moment with best Price / Quality ratio. Cairo and Giza are big cities that never sleep, so bring your earplugs. The time I visited the streets where broken up to replace and upgrade the wires for better electricity and internet connection. This is actually a good thing; probably you are visiting this place with upgraded internet connection. Inshallah!

Location - Right across the Sphinx. Just cross the road and you enter the Pyramids compound. Room views are incredible, direct view of the Sphinx & Pyramids. Police check post right below the hotel, so it’s a secure area.

I wanted to cancel one night as I got stuck in another city due to loss of some belongings. I informed them requesting to cancel and they never picked calls or responded, and eventually even switched off the cell. The breakfast is not worth. Old building but quite clean. WIFI not functional.

The location of GGH was "front row center" to the Sphinx and three pyramids. The view from the room and rooftop dining areas we quite literally unbelievable! It could not have been easier to access the ticket booth for the Pyramids which was right across the street which made an early start before the crowds arrived very easy

It could get a bit noisy with all the people lining up to get inside the Pyramid complex, but the Guest house had doubled glazed windows to buffer the noise. The tradeoff for the views and proximity made it no problem. Uber rides to anywhere in Cairo were also very easy to arrange as everyone knew exactly where you were located

I liked how it overlooks the Pyramids of Giza and The Sphinx right in front of the property. I think all of their rooms faces the Pyramids because I stayed here twice and both had an incredible view. The stay includes breakfast from 7-9 AM. Check in at 13:00 and check out is 10:00. They provide laundry service: £20/piece and if given in the morning, you’ll get it back in the afternoon/evening. The rooms and private bathrooms are super comfortable, spacious, and clean. They provide the necessary toiletries like shampoo, body wash and soap. The staff are extremely nice and professional. The owner who lives in the premises is sweet, nice and respectful. She reminded me of my grandmother.

Nothing to complain about the property, but be prepared to be haggled if you stay specifically anywhere in Giza.

Guardian Guest house was our first accommodation in Egypt and we weren't sure what to expect. It turned out to be an excellent guest house. We got the dreaded room with the pillar but that did not detract from the view - the pyramids and the Spinx are right outside. The views are even better from the rooftop terrace. We watched the sound and light show from our room as we were too tired to go to the rooftop. The room itself was spacious and clean, as was the bathroom. It was pretty quiet at night. WiFi worked well. Free water, tea and coffee are provided for guests at all times. We had to leave early and got breakfast boxes that contained a croissant, jams, cheese and some biscuits. We stored our bags for the day while exploring the pyramids and they were left in the stairwell but this was not a problem as the guesthouse itself is secure.

The bathroom was a little on the small side.

Everything about this property was fantastic, the brothers who run it are some of the nicest people I have met in Egypt, the view is probably the best view any hotel can have of the pyramids. The view is phenomenal. Honestly it can’t get better. The rooms face the pyramids and the sphinx. If you look at other hotels along the strip they face perpendicular to them and maybe on the balcony you’d be able to see them, but not from the room. If you want to wake up every morning to the pyramids and say goodnight to them book this hotel! The free breakfast is great, it’s not the best I’ve ever had, it could do with some more fruit, but it’s sufficient and the free water to fill up water bottles is a nice additional touch.

The only thing is maybe the area around it, it’s Egypt and it’s the pyramids so you can’t leave the hotel and go for a walk without people hassle long you. You probably don’t even want to go for a walk, as a man walking the area at night, I really didn’t feel that safe. The constant police presence helps though.

Guardian Guest House is located in a secure compound and is directly opposite the Pyramids. Their rooftop provides an amazing view of the Pyramids! Our room was basic, but the beds were comfortable and the in-room air conditioning was excellent given the outside heat. The hotel is run by a family. They were very caring and wanted to ensure we were comfortable during our stay. They also organized transport to and from the airport for a fee (US$35 each way) which was excellent. There's a police presence around the hotel, and there are restaurants including fast food options (Pizza Hut and KFC) within a 2-3 minute walk from the hotel. It's everything you need as a base for doing the Pyramids.

There is currently no WiFi at this hotel due to infrastructure works happening in the street. No big deal, as we had global roaming from our provider back in Australia.

Obviously the views from the Pyramids room were amazing. The rooftop is great too. The beds were very comfortable. It's a bit dated but if you go in knowing that then it's great. Unlimited coffee and tea. Breakfast was good but don't go too late or everything is gone. Reception was very helpful. They were there to help you with everything you needed and went above and beyond. ***They have airport transfer but confirm the airport transfer with them personally :)

Wifi doesn't work in the room. It works sometimes in the lobby depending on how many people are on it. Cannot bring any tea or coffee into the room. Not really anything against the hotel itself, but general knowledge that the location is good for 1 day at the Pyramids but other than that, there is really nothing to do in that area. Uncomfortable to walk outside with all of the vendors coming up to you and asking you to buy things. Not nice to watch/hear the sounds of the horses be whipped on the road outside your room :(

Guardian Guest House is situated on a great location. In the morning, opening the curtains, we saw the piramids in the early morning sun, and looked straight in the eyes of the Great Sfinx, which was an amazing experience. The entrance to the Gizeh plateau is close, only at 30 meter distance of the entrance of the guesthouse. Mahmoud and his family are very nice. They take care for breakfast, and arrange for transfers from and to the airport, and taxis to places of interest, like Cairo or Saqqara. From the rooftop terrace guests can enjoy the sound and light-show on the Gizeh plateau in the evening, free of charge. Breakfast was served inside (buffet), but you could take up your breakfast to the rooftop terrace and enjoy it outside, looking at the piramides and the Great Sfinx. Every morning we got bottles of water at breakfast, and during the day we could make coffee or tea, free of charge in the little kitchen opposite our room. A great service!!! In the lively environment there are many restaurants and shops. We had a great time in Guardian Guest House, where we stayed during one week, and we highly recommend this hotel.

Suggestion: some fruit might be added at breakfast, like bananas.
