Hotels Near مسجد شفيق وهدان - Shafiq Whdan Mosque in Nazlet El-Semman

A truly wonderful hotel! The rooms are very clean, modern, and tastefully decorated. The hotel compound is quiet and peaceful, and the pool area is fun and relaxing. Zico and the entire staff are just superb: not only are they very helpful, knowledgeable, and professional, they made us feel like we were part of their family. Finally, the rooftop restaurant is out of this world: it offers a fantastic view of the pyramids, along with incredibly delicious food and excellent service. This place a real gem, not to be missed when visiting Giza.

The hotel was okay, and Mohamed was accommodating. We booked a room with a pyramid view; well, you can see the pyramids if you hang through the window and look backwards, but it is not an actual room view. We were told we could only pay with euros or dollars but not Egyptian dollars, or via bank transfer (with an extra fee (!) on top). There was no prior knowledge about paying extra for not being able to exchange money at the airport or reception despite the fact it is advertised the hotel offers money exchange. Do not take me wrong; the beds are comfy, breakfast is tasty, and you can see the pyramids from the roof while having a brekkie. The breakfast staff was helpful, too. Airport shuttle was top and super quick. As I said, there must have been a language barrier, which is, hey, okay, I am not a native speaker either. But there is no shame in advertising less (and then offering more) and asking questions if you are not sure what the question was. We all work in hospitality, in hotels in fact, and trust me, clear communication can save any situation. It would be nice changing what is actually provided, no spa, swimming pool, money exchange or laundry service. Offering clothes washing but not drying can be tricky when you have an early flight to catch on the following day early Morning. (Especially when promised via text and verbally the day before and day the same day too several times everything is washed and dried!) Update your amenities and services your offer and you will be great guys. The place has potential! But, sadly, for what we paid and what we got did not match at all.

We traveled to this place with our infant with the only expectation of getting a pyramids view and considering the heat, flexibility to be very close to the pyramids at Giza. The location is one of the best in the vicinity, and gives a direct view of the Sphinx. We were welcomed by warm staff (Duniya) and greeted to the terrace wherein the pyramids and the sphinx were lit at night. It was a dusty evening, but the overall atmosphere was great. The incident that has set this stay apart from the others was a personal episode. The next day we chose to visit the major locations of Cairo side like the NMEC and Khan-al-Khalili, and some shopping. En route, my wife lost her phone and we were extremely stressed out in the evening, with all her contacts and memories on the phone. This is the instance when the hospitality of the hotel came into picture. Nearly everyone on the reception staff was aware of the situation, and they started going out of their way to help her. Be it calling the taxi at night and asking (more like instructing) to do whatever it takes to find the phone, to go at each and every place in Cairo and Giza we had been. Language is a constraint, and at each and every instant we wanted a person of trust to translate Arabic to English for us, and in addition, to provide guidance. Ashour at the reception constantly kept calling on my phone to ask updates. They even arranged for a late breakfast for us. To cut the story, we did FIND the phone and there was a happy story in the end. I have to place emphasis on the fact, that Cairo and Egypt functions on a different set of principles that involves a lot of over selling. If we can separate that emotion, and trust on such people who are really willing to help (they still might want to sell you a package ;)), sets the experience apart. They even treated our young kid with a friendship band. The restaurant food quality could be improved, but please remember, first and foremost its a tourist place with a very high footfall. I would like to visit Cairo again, and without a beat stay at this place. Thanks Duniya and Ashour for us to make our stay a very memorable one.

The most satisfying hotel in Egypt, the main attraction is the view. It is recommended to go for it if you have enough budget. The hotel front desk check-in is very fast. The pool bar and restaurant service are also in place. It is worth mentioning that the dinner at the 139 restaurant, grilled lamb chops and sea bass are highly recommended. The breakfast is very ordinary. However, the experience of eating and watching the pyramids is really wonderful. We stayed for two nights and had breakfast and dinner here, just to enjoy the unique view in the not-so-hot breeze. Attached are the pictures of the morning and evening for reference. The room is very ordinary, about the same level as the first batch of five-star hotels in China, don't have too high expectations. Again, the main attraction is the view.

You can't ask for a better location or a more accommodating team than at this bed and breakfast. A great view of the Pyramids (across the street). The breakfast was ok, but the view from the terrace is what it's all about. The room was fine. Overall a good value, but if you're looking for upscale amenities, keep looking. If you're looking for good location at great price and kind staff, this is the place.

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.

I charted this hotel on Google Maps trying to find an alignment between Cheops Pyramid, the front of the Sphynx and some rooftop or balcony. The answer seemed obviously The Pyramids View Inn. It was surprisingly (suspiciously) cheap, and didn’t look too fancy from the outside… But the photos inside were much better and the view was either Photoshopped or out of this world. The reviews were amazing, so I decided against staying in downtown Cairo and going to Giza, as close to the pyramids as I could be without actually sleeping inside one of them, Best travel decision, EVER! The staff was friendly since we started exchanging emails about airport transfers and tours. I was a bit scared of the arrival at the airport at 2am and the possibility that there could be no one waiting for me, but outside the airport after saying no to a dozen Taxi drivers inside, my driver was there with a sign with my name. Don’t feel disoriented with so many drivers from hotels with name looking neatly the same. The sign will have this hotel name as it is written here and your own name. It only got better from then on. Super friendly and honest staff, clean room, THAT AMAZING VIEW, both from the room and the rooftop where you can get à plentiful breakfast and some night drinks there (don’t expect alcohol in an Islamic republic) You can actually see the Pyramids Light and Show perfectly or even better from the hotel than on-site. Just pray you get it on your language while you are there. Everyday was in a different language while I was there. Book the tours at the hotel too. You can find many offers online, hardly a better driver and guide than the ones I got. Friendly, professional, helpful. I was alone in Egypt and they (tour and hotel staff) welcomed me as my new best friends. On the Gyza tour, you will be taken to some local Businesses with high quality papyrus and oil scents. Don’t feel forced to buy anything and expect some high prices there, It will be hard though not to spend as many money on souvenirs as on the rest of the trip. If you really don’t want to spend some big buck on excellent products just say no or skip visiting those two sites, but you will miss learning how to make a papyrus sheet. You can do three tours in two days (Cairo cultural sights, Ancient Egypt historical sites and Nile Dinner cruise). if you manage to go to the desert after flying for a day. There was another option with a sleepover on some Bedouin Oasis which I skipped. The hotel surrounding may feel intimidating when you arrive, with high police apparatus and the local salesperson that really hassle you. The best place to buy souvenirs is right next door to the hotel. Look for the window with the No Hassle sign. The owner is charming, educated, respectful of your word. and offers great prices. Travel light and keep room in your luggage to take home the stuff you buy here. Oh, and bless the room air conditioning.and keep hydrated at all times. I am not sure if I’ll ever be retur

A notre arrivee, la réservation prévue d'une chambre avec balcon n'a pu être satisfaite. (Les photos sur Booking montrent deux types de chambres sans montrer un balcon malgré un descriptif qui le précise clairement ! ) Néanmoins, notre premier étape en Égypte fut agréable ! Cet hôtel possède des atouts certains : une décoration soignée, sa propreté et bien sûr, sa situation. L'équipe de l'hôtel est jeune, dynamique, réactive et aimable. Mention spéciale pour la gentillesse d'Ola à la réception, celle d'Hassan, et de son collègue, car leur petit déjeuner égyptien est ”royal”, sans oublier celle d'Ali de l'accueil. Les chambres se répartissent sur trois étages (sans ascenseur) avec la terrasse au 4eme qui accueille les petits déjeuners et un restaurant, bon. L'équipement de la chambre est satisfaisant ( tv, réfrigérateur, bouilloire avec eau et sachets divers en accès libre) mais les fenêtres ne ferment pas hermétiquement ! La salle de bains comprend toilettes, douche, lavabo et produits divers mais la plomberie serait à améliorer (fuite au pied du lavabo et robinet branlant) . La connexion WiFi est dans l'ensemble satisfaisante. Bref, un endroit dans ce lieu extrêmement touristique à recommander mais certains points à améliorer pour devenir un vrai 3 étoiles.

The experience in the hotel has been amazing!! We received an incredible service from everyone but specially from Manna who has been a star in everything. He gave us an upgrade, we had amazing views on the first line just in front of the pyramids, with a balcony and the room was big and clean. We had problems with our tour booked with another agency and he resolved everything from his amazing agency and we enjoyed the day around the best places in Cairo historical areas. We received the best service and we will be forever grateful. We fully recommend this experience. The price of the room with breakfast included, the views and the tour were great. The quality of the tour has been superb. Somos españolas y estamos disfrutando infinito del viaje!!! Gracias!!

Very tasteful buffet with great selection of food and everyday rotation. Additionally to common meals like chicken and beef stew there is always specialities from different countries like Mexico for example. Exceptionally friendly and helpful service personnel with a lot of attention for guests‘ needs. Special appreciation to the chefs and servers for their work. Overall, the hotel is in neat state.
