Mena House Hotel

This historic hotel is both luxurious and right next to the pyramids. I would recommend it anyone interested in visiting the area. The property is well-maintained and the beds are comfortable. Very good value for the money!

Stayed there two night for a wedding that took place at the hotel on the lawn in front of the restaurant serving breakfast. What a location. What a site. Having the pyramids glowing in the background as we celebrated this moment. About the hotel, Excellent service from the staff, amazing beds and soft pillows. Great shower and the rooms were super clean. Great Indian restaurant in the hotel and just stunning view from the room and the hotel itself, I would recommend if you don't have much time in Cairo and you don't want to loose too much of it traveling through the busy traffic.

This is a lovely old historic hotel with modern amenities. It is the place to stay when your main purpose is to visit the pyramids as it is slightly out of the main Cairo area. There is a ton of security to get into the grounds so everything is very safe and now is actually a good time to go when there are no crowds, though I'd wait until the weather gets a tad cooler. We arrived on a Friday night and they were setting up for a very large and festive wedding on the area pictured below. Tables, a runway platform and dance floor were there as well. The wedding went on until about 11 pm complete with fireworks and much laughter and dancing. After the wedding party quieted down, I never heard a sound but the groundskeepers must have been at it all night long because in the morning when I went to breakfast there wasn't a table, chair, piece of refuse or anything in that area where the wedding had been held. I was amazed at their efficiency and service. This is what you get at the Mena House Hotel, amazing service and attention to detail. The view from my room was the same as this dining picture that I took one morning while sitting out having breakfast. Everyday my fresh fruit bowl would be refreshed with new fruit and little treats. The only reason I have not given them 5 stars across the board is that there are many renovations still going on including some HVAC work in the main building. Also, wifi can be very spotty. Otherwise it's a lovely place to enjoy the beauty of the pyramids and the surrounding area. They also have a very large and beautiful pool area. Only drawback there is that you can hear some of the traffic from outside the grounds.

I must preface and say that EGYPT IS SAFE! Before even entering the hotel there was a bomb sniffing dog and a metal detector, We had a tour with the guest relation to see the historic place Montgomery suite, Churchel suite and many places where Kings and presidents were stayed with very nice and large terrace with full view of the pyramids, Staff are friendly and trained well, Breakfast was amazing and very polite waiters and Managers they are always walk and talk with the guests to fulfil their needs, The restuarnt had charming view on the pyramids so you can enjoy the breakfas or take your coffee with amazing view, I took many photos of the hotel as I did of the pyramids, It is only a foot distance from the pyramids around 200 Meters. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff who made our stay so special ! Special thanks to Mr. Amr, Rady and Mr. Amr from the Front Desk. The hotel is highly recommended to all of my friends for a soon visit. BestRegards, Zakaria El Gendy

This hotel situated at the foot of the Great Pyramids of Giza is simply spectacular. Staying in the garden wing block C building is the BEST as all rooms enjoy unparalleled views of the Great Pyramid.
