Nazlet El-Semman Hostels

This is our favourite place to stay in Egypt. All the staff are wonderful and make you feel at home like family. Egyptian hospitality is incredible. Don’t waste your time or money in 5 star hotels, experience the real Egypt here! The views are amazing, 1 minute walk to the entrance of pyramids. Special thanks to Kamal the hotel manager, he is a lovely man. Karl & Louise (Ireland)

If you wanna wake up with a fantastic pyramid view then this is the right place, but don't expect much from the hotel, The guys at the reception will try to sell you overpriced tours to the pyramids that are absolutely not necessary, guides can't entry the pyramids, so you will have a person only rushing you around, just buy the 2 tickets in front of the hotel and you will be perfectly fine, uber works perfectly in Cairo.

Have to say that the location of this hotel is super good. Just at the entrance and exit of the pyramid sphinx, the roof can be seen while eating breakfast and watching the pyramids. The breakfast is very rich. What's more, at night, you can watch the pyramid light show for free at the top of the building. Haha, it's amazing. The waiter was very good, and the things that packed me and put me on the bed were also packed up. The front desk (the boss) is enthusiastic and takes the initiative to introduce how to go. Free pick-up service is also good (but Ctrip's page does not prompt for free pick-up, I saw the free pick-up from the hotel's own official page), the driver did not have to tip. The delivery service is also very thoughtful. Overall, the price is very high

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. 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. I don't want to blame this to the hotel but I really suggest that if you booked a tour, never shop in Giza with your guides. But, if you want to be in front of the Pyramids, I highly recommend this hotel.

The owner of the hotel is very reliable to help me solve the trouble of asking for money by taxi (if the plane arrives, please let the hotel pick up the airport, the price of 15 dollars is not overcharged at all!), and when I left, he helped me get Uber not asking for money! The hotel staff is very friendly and will often ask me if I need help and I can help! The most amazing thing about the hotel is the terrace, the superb sphinx and pyramid view! ! ! The only thing that needs to be improved is the network signal in my room. It needs to go to the left half to get the signal. Breakfast is a local meal and I am not used to it. The room is consistent with the picture! Stayed for one night and enjoyed the light show on the terrace at night! You can book with the boss if you need travel items! The entrance to the pyramid and the ticket window are downstairs! When I left, the boss asked me to store my luggage in his hotel in the Egyptian Museum, where I could rest and drink tea. The view was amazing! The building is very old, but the decoration inside is comfortable (picture 4, picture 5, picture 6)

The Horus Guest House Pyramids View, overwhelmingly exceeded our expectations! The Guest House is in very close proximity to the Great Pyramids Complex; and the views from your room (Desert View) and the rooftop, simply can not be better anywhere in Giza. Everything you can possibly need is in walking distance and at no time did I or my wife not feel safe to explore the surrounding area. The most important part of this review that I want to share beyond the magnificent views; and cleanliness of this hostel, is the fantastic staff of Horus Guest House. The level of service, friendliness and attentiveness to their guest's needs are beyond compare and truly left us in disbelief! Every commercial hotel can take a page from this establishment's level of service. The needs and requests of the customer come first. The staff and especially Osman, can assist you in any aspect of your vacation planning in Egypt, from booking tours, car service, dining they are there for you. The Horus Guest House offers an extraordinarily generous discount, when you purchase items from their shop. If I am fortunate enough to return to Egypt, I will stay here again because like they told us, you are staying with and are now part of the family.

I actually travelled October of 2022, but the system wouldn’t let let select that. I travelled alone to Giza for a few days before joining a group in Luxor. This hotel was wonderful. I wanted a place near the pyramids and I even had a view of them from my bed! I contacted the hotel before my arrival to let them know that I have Celiac and would need gluten-free food. They assured me that they could accommodate me, and when I arrived they touched base with me to assure again. Breakfasts were included and they made sure I had lots to eat (while sitting on a terrace overlooking the pyramids 😍.) I booked a tour with them as well and had a great day, they alerted the restaurant that we went to for lunch about my gluten-free needs as well. For my private tour, they arranged a trip to the museum, a perfume place, a camel ride around the pyramids, visiting the pyramids and the great sphinx. It was fantastic! Just be forewarned, there is no elevator, but they will carry your bags. The rooms are modern, very clean, and have everything you need. I have recommended this hotel to several people already.

Booked on Ctrip, checkin the same day, the waiter didn't receive my order and asked me to resubmit $ 20 to rebook. Find Ctrip to deal with, Ctrip is very enthusiastic and has repeatedly confirmed that the communication with the booking agent is paid and no further payment is required. After communicating for one morning, I decided to refund the order and go to another hotel for reservation. As a result, when the waiter saw that I was going to die, he refused to pay an additional 20 dollars and immediately made a mistake at 180 degrees. Let me live right away. I'm drunk too. The people here have a deep routine. The instant impression is down. The only advantage of this hotel is that the sunset of the pyramid can take the horizon, and the rest of the facilities can not be complimented. Recommend this hotel for the second night (Pyramid Valley Boutique Hotel). The facilities are very good, and the waiter boss is enthusiastic. The boss's son also invited me to drink Coke at night, free of charge. Focus on helping him promote it. The most important thing when traveling is to be honest and not pit each other. Pictures are from pyramides valley. Hygiene is much better than this one. Bringing a girl is not recommended to stay in this hotel, take it to the bottom of the Golden Tower ...

This is a very basic hotel. PROS: Hot water, AC, and WiFi. Good location (proximity to the pyramids) and secure rooms. Rooftop was nice for breakfast. Quieter because it is off the main street. Staff were friendly. CONS: Dirty sheets and pillowcases still had previous guests hair on them. Shower sprayed a large amount of water onto the bathroom floor. Had to request toilet paper for the bathroom. Small, threadbare towels. If you decide to book with them, go through a professional booking company like TripAdvisor or *******. We did. But our parents booked a room directly through the Life Pyramids Inn website and were told upon arrival that “Our website does not send your confirmation to us, so we do not have a room for you.” (Their own official website!) My parents had to find last-minute alternate accommodations late at night. Breakfast was mediocre, though they were willing to provide a packaged one for our early tour upon request. This hotel is fine if you go in with the right expectations. Based on how the hotel represents itself, we expected better and were disappointed. There are a number of other inns facing the Sphinx, some with better views and nicer appointments.
