Marriott Mena House, Cairo

Jaw dropping views Amazing pool Amazing restaurant Amazing views Great rooms Great food What an incredible magical place

Amazing unparalleled views of the Pyramids from our room. It was actually magical to be so close to such beauty. Great service all around, the gardens are lush and picturesque. There's an exclusive entry point to the pyramids from the hotel which sets it apart.

The history of this hotel is enough to stay here. The view of the pyramids is enough to book this amazing hotel. Still, we were blown away by every breakfast - both by the quality / diversity and quality of the food, but i want to call attention to Amal, who treated my daughter with the kindness of family. Mohammed who was so excited for us to try Egyptian food, that he made us a custom egg dish/ omelette and remembered our quick conversations from the day before, and Sayed who brought us his favorite things to try! Also the spa: Walaa and the kind gentleman who worked late to help last night when there just wasn’t any reservations. Overall, you will be blown away at the hotel for its beauty and service.

Wife and I wanted to stay at this hotel for three nights, after seeing all the amazing balcony pictures of the pyramid views. <> The short story is that this hotel is pretty amazing. The staff struck me as really genuinely interested in our satisfaction. Out of about 10-12 staff members we encountered during our 3-night stay, only 1-2 were a bit too impersonal. The interior of the hotel (i.e. the common areas) is very well-maintained. It feels like it was recently renovated. The rooms are also fairly well-maintained. The carpets are quite worn down though, and the shower/tub has the half-partition that can make getting in and out a tiny bit tedious. Those are generally small issues. For plats and above, the complimentary breakfast is served in the lounge. It's pretty basic. Hard boiled eggs, a few different kinds of bean dishes (i.e. baked beans and ful), some different breads and pastries, potatoes, smoked salmon, yogurt, salad vegetables, and a few different kinds of spreads (e.g. hummus, baba ganoush). It's enough to get through the day. The coffee and juice offered via table service is good though. The pool is very clean. Even though it says it opens at 8am, that mostly means that there are no services until then (i.e. towel service). But if you bring your own towels from your room, and your other amenities, you can swim mostly whenever you want. We went to the pool at around 7:15am and none of the staff stopped us. We booked a Pyramids tour at the concierge desk. A bit pricey (roughly double the price of the equivalent available on other websites) but we were satisfied. We had dinner at "139 Pavilion" on-site during one evening. Food was OK, definitely reasonably priced. But again, you're eating there mainly for the direct view of the pyramids. In general, I really enjoyed staying at this hotel, during my visit to Giza. Many of the other nearby accommodations will say that there is a pyramid view, but neglect to mention that the view comes from the rooftop. You are booking this hotel for the view. The direct walking path from the hotel to the pyramids was blocked off recently, but the view is really as good as what you see in all the pictures. The staff are generally very friendly and very willing to help make your stay a special one.

What a view from our balcony! We throughly enjoyed our stay at this amazing hotel! The staff was wonderful and attended to all our needs! Food was also fabulous! We will definitely return to this outstanding hotel! The executive lounge was a lifesaver for us after our excursions each day!
