Boasting a hot tub, Atlantis pyramids inn is located in Cairo. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

We enjoyed the proximity of the Pyramids, and the free light show from the terrace. Staff was amazing, they treated us like family members. We loved the evenings spent together on the rooftop, sipping hot tea and listening their music performance.

The host Dr Susan is gem of a lady. She is so nice and humble. Every time you talk to her you feel good and get positive vibes. The room and bathroom was super clean. Breakfast provided was delicious and the falafel was one of the best that we had in Egypt. We were vegan and Dr Susan made sure to serve us vegan breakfast by modifying it. Dr Susan treats guests like family members. She will make sure the guests are always comfortable and care for them like her own kids. We had late evening bus to Aswan on the day of checkout but Dr Susan allowed us for late checkout. That was really nice gesture from her. We wish we could have stayed more. But we are surely gonna be back just to meet the super wonderful hard working lady Dr Susan. We will miss you mam..

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.

The description said we would have balcony views of the Pyramids and it didn't disapoint. AWESOME views. Really helpful and friendly staff. It's a small boutique style hotel and not a big chain hotel. The money we pay stays local. The rooftop restaurant was amazing. We cannot fault this hotel. Thankyou so much for your welcome and for being so helpful. We look forward to our next stay on Friday.

Exceptional hospitality and service during our stay. The commitment to customer satisfaction truly made me and my husband's Cairo trip memorable for our wedding anniversary. The staff ensured a warm and welcoming atmosphere especially during Ramadan when the staff were all fasting. Thank you Mr. Ahmed and Mr. Mohemd for arranging our transfers, laundry service, money exchange and last minute tours. Once again, thank you for providing us with such a wonderful stay.

    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!
