À la carte and continental breakfast options with local specialities, fruits and juice are available daily at the guest house. At Pyramids top success result, the traditional restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and brunch and serves African cuisine.

The owner Mahmoud is a cosmopolitan optimistic and helpful man who speaks perfect English and knows everything you would ever need to know about Cairo and Egypt. Truly helpful and kind. The manager Esra, and other workers I met, Dua, Yusuf, Machmood, and Nusa are also incredibly helpful, easy-going and all around great people. Esra is also the very best guide to the pyramids that there is! Before booking with anyone else I recommend checking to see if she's available. I loved the beds, the room, the view, the cleanliness, comfort and style and they even have an incredibly affordable and delicious cafe right on the roof! I liked this hotel so much that I extended my stay beyond my original plans. If you're reading this and looking for a place within a two minute walk of the pyramids and in this price range, you're pretty lucky, because you won't need to continue searching. This is definitely the right place!

Buffet and à la carte breakfast options with fresh pastries, juice and cheese are available each morning at the guest house. At Papyrus Pyramids, the traditional restaurant is open for dinner, lunch and high tea and specialises in American cuisine.

Staff: All very friendly and helpful. Location: 2 Minutes walk from the entrance to the pyramids site. Rooftop with view of the pyramids and our room had the same mountain view. Room: Clean and with a decent bathroom with rain showerhead. No balcony , but it wasn't a requirement. The rooftop terrace does the job. The room was not cleaned during our 2 nights stay, but no issue as we keep it clean for ourselves. The AC was in good working condition and the room had a fridge and a good closet for the clothes. Breakfast: It's being served on the rooftop terrace. Sufficient, we can't complain about it. You can also order food and drinks in the rooftop bar. I would say it's one of the best locations for staying near the pyramids in Giza. The view can't get better. Giza city is unfortunately a bit run down and so is the area of the hotel. We would definitely stay in the same hotel again.

    The guesthouse is not for those looking for luxury, but it offers comfortable accommodation. The area is quiet, which mattered the most to us. There is air conditioning in the room, but for us there was no need to turn it on. The view from the rooftop is extraordinary. The host was very attentive with us. He organized the pickup from the airport, prepared breakfast and dinner at the hours we wanted. The prepared meals were delicious.

    Mohamed was a great host in a very nice, cozy guesthouse. We got breakfast whenever we wanted, and he drove us to a restaurant when we arrived late the first night. We were overwhelmed by the amazing view to the Giza pyramids from the rooftop. That was way better than expected. Thank you, for sure coming back next time in Egypt!
