Marriott Mena House, Cairo

We stayed 3 nights in this amazing hotel. We loved every minute of our stay there. We hesitated between this one and the city centre as there you can have beer and cheaper hotels but we were really happy we chose Mena house. The location and views are unbeatable. The garden gives an atmosphere of tranquility from the very noisy city. We were always happy to go back after a busy day. W leaps enjoyed the swimming pool area. We booked a pyramids view room. Yes, it is more expensive and maybe not needed but in case you want to wake up and go to sleep with a view on pyramids, there is no better choice. It was my dream to see the pyramids so no regrets here. The staff in the hotel is very friendly and professional. The breakfast in the Pavillon is very good, very good variety and again, the view is just amazing. The hotel offers a special treat to its guest - a golf cart service to the Plateau which brings you directly to the Great pyramid, and if you wish also back to the hotel. This was great. We went rather early (we took the cart at 8.30) and hence, we were at the Great pyramid before all the crowds. Thanks to this, we were able to go inside the pyramid without major stress as there were not many people and it was easy to get out. If we ever go back to Cairo for pyramids, we will stay in Mena House.

The beauty of this hotel is unmatched. After visiting 6 continents, this has been the most magical. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel like hospitality is their only mission. Our experience was grander at the morning breakfast with Mohamed Hassan and his staff helped us enjoy once in a lifetime views of the Pyramids from the restaurant. His kindness, patience and quest for excellence makes the hotel even better! I recommend this hotel for anyone looking for ancient wonders and high end luxury!

O enjoyed breakfast at the hotel restaurant and it was great. Karim, Amal, and Mahmoud were very attentive and kind. The team in general was magnificent. The food was excellent and plentiful.

A perfect location for the pyramids and the GEM. A couple on a long weekend to see the main attractions of the pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Hotel staff were very professional and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Standard of room was good. Standard of food was good but a little unadventurous. Good spa. Overall I would highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at this very atmospheric property. Our room was spacious, quiet and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the lovely grounds (interesting for bird-watching). The breakfast buffet at 139 Restaurant, with its wonderful view of the Pyramids, was superb, and we enjoyed dining there several times. The hotel staff were uniformly welcoming and helpful. Special mention to the pianist who performed beautifully in the lobby bar on several evenings. The hotel's location couldn't be better for visits to the Grand Egyptian Museum. The historic building is undergoing renovation, but we weren't disturbed by the noise.
