Guardian Guest House includes a restaurant and a 24-hour room service. Guests are offered a complimentary authentic Egyptian breakfast. Complimentary tea, coffee and mineral water are also offered 24 hours a day.

We opted for the $30 ride offered by the hotel from the airport. This made our arrival to Egypt much less stressful, as we were met at the airport by a helpful and friendly driver who drove us to the hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned van. The view from our hotel room was amazing. We probably had one of the best possible views of the Sphinx and the Pyramids just from our window. Additionally, the hotel has relaxing chairs on its rooftop where we could sit at night and look at the illuminated Pyramids. In the morning, we were able to enjoy the hotel's breakfast and then walk across the street to visit the Pyramids before most of the other people arrived.

Within 300 metres from Bab El Fetouh gate,Le Riad Hotel de Charme has spacious Oriental suites with private balconies facing El Darb El Asfar. It has a rooftop garden with panoramic views of Cairo.

Each unique suite at Le Riad Hotel de Charme is inspired by a theme from Egyptian history. They have a comfortable seating area and a private marble bathroom. The flat-screen TV has satellite TV and free Wi-Fi is available.

Le Riad is a wonderful boutique suite hotel in the Islamic District of Cairo. We really did not want to stay in a high-rise style hotel along the Nile and preferred a place with more character and color. Le Riad fit the bill. The suites are really spectacular. Huge and very well appointed. Sitting areas, balcony over the street and a lovely bathroom. Breakfast on the rooftop was glorious. The souk is a few blocks away and it seems that everything is happening on Muei Street. A lot of action. We had dinner at the restaurant on the roof which also was excellent (no alcohol). The neighborhood is interesting and fun. Lots of shops and restaurants and lots of people.

It features a casino and more 15 restaurants & bars . The hotel's Cairo Twin Towers provide panoramic views of the Nile and six acres of the palace gardens

I loved this hotel but it's ruined me for other hotels in Egypt! I mean, it has everything -- nice staff, helpful at every turn without being intrusive. Nice rooms, with lovely beds/pillows and cleaned daily. Bathroom was big and shower was wonderful. We didn't order room service, but we did eat on site once and it was a nice experience, with prices I thought were reasonable, along with good options. The area around the hotel is also very nice to walk around. There is a park, the Nile, and plenty of shops and restaurants and book stores.

    I liked the staff members, clean place, pyramids view, and the great interior designing. It's amazing how such a small hotel could have great services. I would like to thank Mr. Taha and his colleague for being so welcoming and caring for our well-being because We were 2 girls alone in the big city. The kitchen staff were very generous too. They kept checking on us and serving us with their happy smile. Best hotel in the area!

    Beautiful rooms with view of pyramids from both the room and stunning rooftop terrace (perfect breakfast). Very stylish decor with a contemporary design but still very comfortable. The hosts were extremely hospitable who went above and beyond to offer a fantastic standard of service. They were on hand to help with anything we needed and offered lots of activities to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. A reliable family business with brilliant customer service skills from both Amar, Kazim and the whole family.

    The luxury of waking up and eating breakfast with a superb view of the pyramids is incredible. The room is very confortable. We were a bit cold because it was winter, but the owner of the hotel and its staff were very responsive and provided us with extra blankets and a portable heater. The service provided is excellent, we even got help finding taxis or making restaurant reservations when we could not do it ourselves. This is a guesthouse but with the comfort, interior design and quality of service of higher level hotels. We highly recommend.
