Nazlet El-Semman Spa Hotels

After driving through chaotic Cairo, (Our driver was calm and collected), and still in a culture shock, we arrived at the Inn at 3 am. We were politely shown our room. The canteen was always open for coffee, tea and bottled water which we were grateful of in these early hours. The room was clean (including bathroom) and the bedding (cushions included) were fresh. Fridge, tv and water kettle. The breakfast buffet: an assortment of fruit, cheese, breads, eggs – boiled and scrambled, salad and traditional homemade sauces etc. etc. enough for a hearty European or Egyptian appetite. Coffee and tea all day long free of charge! The employees were informative, helpful, attentive and most of all so friendly - like being a visiting family member!! It was a most enjoyable stay that I can truly recommend: an authentic Egyptian warm-hearted experience!!! Thankyou!

We booked a suite here and couldn't have been a happier, waking up with a view of the pyramids every morning was amazing. We also had breakfast every morning in the restaurant on the top of the hotel which had an even better view of the pyramids. It was a great base of operations for the pyramids and all of Cairo. You have to weigh the pros and cons of a hotel in the Giza area vs Cairo... But I have ot say, the pros of waking up with an amazing view out weighed it all. Worth it.

The excellent review is primarily based on the service from the staff at the hotel that were very frendly and did their best to make us feel good during our stay. Special thanks to Abdo for the great experiance, and Mahmood for the nicely arranged day trips. The view from the room with a balcony is also great. However, there are plenty of things for the managment to upgrade in order to get a realistik 'excellent' review. First of all - breakfast ain't no buffet. It might see like a lot from a first sight, but 4 pieces af some kind of ham, 2 pcs. og cheese and 2 pcs. of butter is pretty much enogh for just one sandwich pr. person (we were two). There were though other food choices on the table, so you don't end up hungry, but after all the breakfast is all the same, so there is not variabillity .. There is only one choice of juice - orange. Coffee is paid separetly (we got it for free). Overbooking issues - on the first night, our room was not available, and we were transferred to a different hotel (far under avarage quallity), so we had to put up a 'fight' to get our originally booked room the day after. If you book a room on the last floor, be prepared from the annoying noice for table moving on the rooftop every morning around 6.30 am. The last two days, were pretty much a noice disaster, due to construction work, that in a normal world, should be done when the hotel has no guests.. After all i'd saiy you get what you pay for - we got it cheap, and that says it all :) A tip for other travellers: Always negotiate your price and never say yes to the first offer when it comes to a day trips, transfers etc. When you hear that it can not be done cheaper - keep pushing until you get the realistic price you want.

This hotel surprised me because the interior of the hotel from the lobby to the rooms to the restaurant and terrace on the top floor is clean, new and modern, and the price is not expensive. There are really not many hotels in Egypt that can do this! I think the breakfast is pretty good. The terrace on the top floor has a beautiful view, overlooking the pyramids and the sunset, which is very impressive. There are regular sockets in the room so you don’t need to bring an adapter and there are a lot of sockets. This is definitely a plus when traveling abroad! And I don’t recommend the pyramid view room, because there are many stables on the block outside the window of the room on the side of the pyramid... The smell is hard to describe. Just go to the top floor terrace to see the pyramid. Another thing I don't like very much is that I stayed in the hotel for three days, and I renewed it on Ctrip on the third day. I told the front desk staff, but they would call to remind me at 10 a.m. every day for the next two days. I checked out... It's hard to comment... Apparently they don't seem to have a shortage of housing...

The reason to stay is the view. But we booked a standard room without view as would have it during breakfast. Arrived and did not have our room so put is in a room with view Nd then moved us to standard room. The reason to book anywhere for two nights is to relax. I said no to upgrade that's how I found out they did not have my room. I wanted to Unpack a little and have stuff out. Not have to pack up before being picked up on tour. Sales pitch expected as poor area. Breakfast was way too much, very tasty Roof views are great and across the road from entry gate to pyramid. Area is very poor, motel sent a footman with me to teller and back so would be safe.this was great help to me but gives you an indication of the area. You have to stay this close of U want to look out and see the pyramid so close. Overalls I don't think a bad stay, bed sheets clean, staff nice although push for review, but after seeing the area these people need tourist work to survive.

Everything was great, the people and the service was amazing … I’d like to get breakfast for vegan people like me, other that that was clean, the staff very helpful and the location was right I front of the pyramids.

The Sphinx Guest House provides a great place for travelers to relax after a busy day. Visitors to Nazlet El-Semman will find that the Sphinx Guest House is a fantastic accommodation choice.The hotel is only 8km from Giza Station and 38km from Sphinx International Airport, giving guests a number of convenient transportation options. There's plenty to do nearby, with Pyramid of Menkaure, The Great Pyramid of Giza and Valley Temple of Khafre all within a short distance.This hotel makes a great place to kick back and relax after a long day of sightseeing. For those driving themselves, parking is provided on site.

The Khan Duidar is a true oasis amidst the vibrant energy of Giza. While the location may seem intimidating to the less adventurous, it offers an authentic experience in a typical Egyptian neighborhood, just a stone's throw from the Pyramids. As Americans, we were initially unprepared for the what felt like chaos on the street, but after four nights, we couldn’t have been more satisfied. The view is exactly as promised—breathtaking. It felt like we could almost reach out and touch the Pyramids from the shared balcony. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and each morning we enjoyed a delicious blend of European and Egyptian breakfast on the shared balcony, all while soaking in the incredible scenery. The rooms were impeccably clean and pristine, with modern amenities. The shower, complete with plenty of hot water and a bidet, was a refreshing way to rinse off the dust after a day of exploring Cairo like Indiana Jones. Though the bustling streets outside initially felt overwhelming, venturing out was a pleasant surprise. The nearby street food was both authentic and affordable, with delicious shawarma for two costing just four bucks. There’s even a local bakery just steps away. While there was some construction that made navigating the side alley entrance challenging, the Khan staff were always in the lobby, eager to assist. Their 24/7 availability was unmatched. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be the option for daily room service. We would have gladly paid for it, had it been offered. Overall, the Khan Duidar was our peaceful retreat during our Giza adventure. Thank you, Khan Duidar, for making our stay unforgettable!
