Mena House Hotel

Beautiful hotel with amazing views of the pyramids and so much history attached to it. The main reception and original building are just fascinating. If you can sweet talk someone to show you around, do it like I did on a previous visit. I went into the Montgomery Suite which has a large terrace that is right in front of the grand pyramid. Incredible to hear who has been to this hotel over the years. You’ll likely stay in the large newer built part of the hotel where the rooms are wonderful - well equipped and high quality but also peppered with history. The bar and restaurant opposite the reception are so nice to sit in with clear views of the pyramids. They light the pyramids up at night until 10.30 so get your photos in before then as otherwise they simply disappear into the dark. It’s certainly not the cheapest hotel in Cairo but a must just for the experience. Never fails to disappoint. And don’t just switch the tv on to a different channel when you enter the room as the info channel about the hotel which is playing when you arrive is really interesting.

The property is beautiful. The food was alright. The alcohol is way overpriced at the bar, stay away or bring your own. Room was clean and modern but nothing to brag about. But that view is unbeatable made the stay worth it all!

We attended a wedding at Mena House and I must say that the backdrop of the Pyramids during the wedding and reception was breathtaking - we had only booked the night of the wedding but enjoyed our stay so much we extended - the hotel is steeped in history and sumptuously decorated. The rooms are clean and fitted out to a high standard. Our room was overlooking the pool which was beautiful - the service at the hotel was excellent with a choice of restaurants as well as great room and poolside service. The grounds of the hotel are impressive and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the ‘friendly’ and efficient staff. FANTASTIC �����

We were visiting Egipt and we stay at Mena House for 2 days. The hotel is amayzing but the service in general is really bad, we were a group of 12 Rooms and 5 the keys were not working, it took them 45 min to bring us the suitcases but the worst was at the restaurant. At breakfast we had to ask 3 times for the tea and It took them 20 minutes to serve it. But the worst was at night, it took us 20 min to order the food and 1hour and 40 minutes to get it. The waiters were ignoring us! It is a petty that such a nice location does not match with the service.

This over the top hotell is laid out in such a way that I think every room has a view of the Giza Pyramids and what a view it is. The hotel is close enough that I think you could walk to the Pyramids but I don't think they would suggest that. Security is very tight the grounds are huge but they have carts that will drive you to where ever you want to go on the grounds. I was just there a few days but one could easily stay longer because it is so comfortable. large rooms, great staff and super good hotel amenities. If you are there to see the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx this is the place to stay..
