"The motel and staff were wonderful. The surrounding area is just like you see on news. There is dead cats, dogs and a lot of trash on the sidewalks. Children and adults begging for money. Can not walk feet without someone trying to sell you something. And no doesn't mean much to them. So if you are not ready to see the real world it's not for you. For me it opened my eyes 😟. But on other note all the guided tours are awesome."

"I was pleased with this hotel’s service focus and beyond essential amenities. Food quality and variety at one of restaurant I visited exceeded my expectation. Only suggestion, I can provide is to have slippers as a standard amenities, and deep clean the shower area which is not easy for regular housekeeping staff to tackle on a daily room cleaning protocol. Keep up the good service as I will sure to visit this hotel and recommend to my friends and families."
"First off - the staff were so amazing, kind and helpful!
The view of the pyramids from their restaurant balcony is epic too, to be able to sit out, have breakfast (breakfast included was decent!) and look out to the Pyramids is wonderful.
The area of Giza itself is definitely an older and run down area, as you pull up it seems like the hotel won't be nice. But once you get inside, it looks good for a hotel in the area.
We stayed as a family of four for two nights, and Giza as a whole is just a crazy and chaotic city, so for that reason I don't think we'd come back to Giza.
If we did, we'd likely stay in a higher end hotel for a little more calm and peace (all higher end hotels were fully booked other than very expensive suites when we booked)

"Dear Future Traveler; I mistakenly chose this Inn based on the review by a Korean You Tuber and the nice rooftop view toward the Pyramids.
This perception above might be partly correct if you are commercially as poor as Egypt people.
But if it is not so, you would be unhappy with the smells from the poos by the camels, the crowded roads, the fightings on the streets, the exorbitant transportation prices(the Inn's price suggestion is always in USD which is far far expensive compared with Uber.(I don't know why the Inn quotes the price in USD.)
Hence, I recommend this Inn on if you are armed with challenge to stay in the Inn to save travel budget, by sacrificing the quality of your life, "
"The quality of the Marriott was above and beyond! The food and drinks were excellent but way overpriced. Go out and visit the local seen. Food and drinks are way less than half of the price. Beautiful hotel with very friendly staff. "
"Breakfast was good. Service was average. Rooms were spacious and clean. Noise from outside dogs barking, cars honking was non stop. The interconnected rooms, though closed off, neighbours were smoking and it kept coming into our rooms. I would not stay here again"
