Be aware: there are several small hotels or inns in this area with very similar names which can be confusing. Use the address to distinguish them. We stayed here four nights. This property has 8-10 rooms and the rooftop, where the breakfast is served, offers a great view of the Pyramids and Sphinx. Rooftop is a great place to relax at night, as well. Our room was on the third level and there is no elevator. Like everywhere in Egypt, you will be dealing with an all-male staff, who were nice. Breakfast (included) was extensive and satisfactory :cheeses, hard boiled egg, falafel, fruit, yogurt, bread, etc. Eat while enjoying a great view of the pyramids! The neighborhood is very interesting with camels and horses mixed with vehicles on the street. We felt safe here; although, like everywhere in Egypt, the shopkeepers can be aggressive in seeking a sale. The items which disappointed me were that the Inn failed to respond to my emails in advance of our arrival. I emailed twice, about 10 days apart, to confirm the reservation and the arrangements for our airport pickup. Receiving no response, we made other arrangements to get here from the airport. (Use Uber, which seems to be the best and least expensive way to get around Cairo and Giza.) A call would have been possible; however, most of the staff spoke minimal English, which may have made a telephone call difficult. Several mostly young men staff this Inn. They were nice and willing to help; however, they seem to not share information and prices for services vary. For departure, we inquired about a ride to the airport and were told $40 U.S., then a couple of days later we took a car, which they arranged, and we were charged only $25. ( Uber is less.) We asked for a 6:00 am wake-up call, which we did not receive, although being assured we would. The young man was asleep on the couch in the lobby at 7:00 am when we went downstairs. Be sure to set your alarm! We needed our luggage stored for a few hours and one young man told us “no charge”, while another said $15. Not a fancy place; however, I enjoyed the atmosphere of the neighborhood and the room was satisfactory (the shower was very small) and we would return. Wi-Fi service is spotty.
Eccellente
