Marriott Mena House, Cairo

A dream come, true, wake up, sit on your terrace and sip a cup of coffee, looking at the pyramids! Forget the drive from downtown Cairo, at least for now until they finish the subway, which is clearly a long time coming, but not happening anytime soon. The hospitality here is amazing, the people couldn't be nicer, the food better than expected, and again that I mentioned those views?! There's a fully equipped gym for those who care, we did drag ourselves to the gym of the equivalent of 3:30 AM our time, and happily so I feel all the more better for it. Highly recommend. The only negative in my book is the tour we booked to the pyramids was a tad uninspired. We're here for three nights and did a day on our own up at the pyramids and they make it very easy for for tourists. However, if you're not comfortable doing it on your own, it's a great option.

Do not stay here if you are looking forward to the nice pyramid view on the property. It will likely be covered like an industrial park because they have events every single day and have music playing until 11 PM every single night. I was there for 3 nights, it got worse every day.

We had a wonderful stay at the historic Mena House in Giza with our little one. The location is absolutely unbeatable—waking up to the breathtaking view of the Pyramids is an experience we will never forget. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained, with spacious gardens that were perfect for our child to play and explore safely.

The consierge scammed us on a trip to saqara for 220 dollars. Come to find out same tours with driver and guide range from 20-50 usd. They also had us book tickets for pyramids online and she said the website is glitchy, but that we had to have tickets thru there only. The website took my payment but didn’t send me tickets. Do not come to Egypt. The whole trip I felt scammed everywhere. Every one asking for money for any little thing they do that you did not ask for. Traveler beware.

From the moment we arrived, Monica, the Guest Relations Manager, made our stay at Mena House as easy and pleasant as possible. She anticipated our needs, checked in on us throughout our visit, and truly set the tone for an exceptional experience. A heartfelt thank-you as well to Amal, the manager at the Mena House restaurant, for the outstanding service and the amazing team she leads. Special recognition to Mohammed, the nutrition allergy specialist—never has anyone been so attentive to my daughter’s meals. His deep knowledge of celiac disease and careful oversight meant she was served only gluten-free products, with every detail handled thoughtfully and safely. That kind of care is rare, and it gave our family complete peace of mind. To all the staff at Mena House, your outstanding service is deeply appreciated. I wish I had everyone’s name to thank you in person, but please accept a huge thank-you from our family. We can’t wait to return and will gladly recommend Mena House to anyone seeking world-class hospitality in Cairo.
