Hotels Near Ismael Stables in Nazlet El-Semman

The excellent review is primarily based on the service from the staff at the hotel that were very frendly and did their best to make us feel good during our stay. Special thanks to Abdo for the great experiance, and Mahmood for the nicely arranged day trips. The view from the room with a balcony is also great. However, there are plenty of things for the managment to upgrade in order to get a realistik 'excellent' review. First of all - breakfast ain't no buffet. It might see like a lot from a first sight, but 4 pieces af some kind of ham, 2 pcs. og cheese and 2 pcs. of butter is pretty much enogh for just one sandwich pr. person (we were two). There were though other food choices on the table, so you don't end up hungry, but after all the breakfast is all the same, so there is not variabillity .. There is only one choice of juice - orange. Coffee is paid separetly (we got it for free). Overbooking issues - on the first night, our room was not available, and we were transferred to a different hotel (far under avarage quallity), so we had to put up a 'fight' to get our originally booked room the day after. If you book a room on the last floor, be prepared from the annoying noice for table moving on the rooftop every morning around 6.30 am. The last two days, were pretty much a noice disaster, due to construction work, that in a normal world, should be done when the hotel has no guests.. After all i'd saiy you get what you pay for - we got it cheap, and that says it all :) A tip for other travellers: Always negotiate your price and never say yes to the first offer when it comes to a day trips, transfers etc. When you hear that it can not be done cheaper - keep pushing until you get the realistic price you want.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel, great view of the pyramids. Make sure to get a day tour from the reception, it was 110 USD per person but definitely worth it. I strongly recommend staying at this hotel.

We traveled to this place with our infant with the only expectation of getting a pyramids view and considering the heat, flexibility to be very close to the pyramids at Giza. The location is one of the best in the vicinity, and gives a direct view of the Sphinx. We were welcomed by warm staff (Duniya) and greeted to the terrace wherein the pyramids and the sphinx were lit at night. It was a dusty evening, but the overall atmosphere was great. The incident that has set this stay apart from the others was a personal episode. The next day we chose to visit the major locations of Cairo side like the NMEC and Khan-al-Khalili, and some shopping. En route, my wife lost her phone and we were extremely stressed out in the evening, with all her contacts and memories on the phone. This is the instance when the hospitality of the hotel came into picture. Nearly everyone on the reception staff was aware of the situation, and they started going out of their way to help her. Be it calling the taxi at night and asking (more like instructing) to do whatever it takes to find the phone, to go at each and every place in Cairo and Giza we had been. Language is a constraint, and at each and every instant we wanted a person of trust to translate Arabic to English for us, and in addition, to provide guidance. Ashour at the reception constantly kept calling on my phone to ask updates. They even arranged for a late breakfast for us. To cut the story, we did FIND the phone and there was a happy story in the end. I have to place emphasis on the fact, that Cairo and Egypt functions on a different set of principles that involves a lot of over selling. If we can separate that emotion, and trust on such people who are really willing to help (they still might want to sell you a package ;)), sets the experience apart. They even treated our young kid with a friendship band. The restaurant food quality could be improved, but please remember, first and foremost its a tourist place with a very high footfall. I would like to visit Cairo again, and without a beat stay at this place. Thanks Duniya and Ashour for us to make our stay a very memorable one.

My wife and I wanted to avoid the ”resort” life when visiting the Giza pyramids, so choosing the Pyramids Valley Boutique Hotel was absolutely perfect. Pyramids Valley is a quaint and personable hotel that sits literally 100 feet from the entrance to the Giza Necropolis. Our room was in the interior of the hotel; it was always clean, cool, very quiet. Perfect for an afternoon nap after a day in the Egyptian sun. The window faced another building, which was no problem, because ten steps out of our door was the rooftop patio restaurant, with a mind blowing view of the Sphinx and pyramids.  We ate at the rooftop restaurant several times and the food was amazing each time. Naturally you cannot beat a meal with the pyramid light show going on in front of you. Waitstaff were great! The entire staff of the hotel were very friendly, always with a smile, and willing to help in any way possible. Upon arrival, the manager gave us his phone number, and he was quick to respond to any questions I had. He also arranged a car to take us on a day excursion to Saqqara. The driver was professional and very affordable. Our evenings were spent on the rooftop gazing at the pyramids and listening to the vivid nightlife of the city of Giza. Our Drink of choice was the ”lemon mint” drink, the best we had during our stay in Egypt.  We were in Giza at the end of March/early April, mid 70s during the day, but bring a jacket for the chilly nights. Overall we had zero complaints during our stay, we felt as if we were leaving family behind on our way out the door. We will be back to Pyramids Valley in the very near future.

It is a recently built hotel, and payment is made at the time of stay. The view is the best, and the hotel itself is very clean. It's all completely new. It is located right next to the ticket office to enter the Giza Pyramids. Many Koreans don't seem to know, but you can take pictures of the three pyramids and the Sphinx at the same time. Breakfast is not a buffet, but is simply eaten on the terrace. The room is clean, but the view from the room is closed. However, for this price, this level of cleanliness and view is quite reasonable.

Don't be fooled by the dilapidated lobby and the small elevator. The room was very clean, our couple took two children and lived very well. All service staff are very enthusiastic. Similar to domestic hotel-style apartments, the price is close to the people, the supermarket downstairs is very convenient to get some food. You can see the pyramids on the rooftop. It's a bit cold at night during the Chinese New Year, so be sure to bring a windbreaker or a slightly thicker dress. But it's hot during the day. Hygienic: very clean Facilities: Room facilities are average but very clean. The lobby and elevator are too old like scenes in ghost movies. Environment: Really enter the hotel, the view of the rooftop is very good, there will be a power outage. Service: Every waiter is very warm and kind.

Thank you The hotel was perfect.For the low price, the location and service are great, and the amenities and facilities are excellent. The view of the pyramids from the rooftop is also most beautiful. Also, the English speaking staff is very helpful.

Our stay at Azal Pyramids Hotel was fantastic! The room was beautiful, and having a safe big enough to hold a laptop made our tours even more enjoyable, as I never had to worry about my work computer. The wonderful pool was perfect for a refreshing dip after a hot day. The standout was the exceptional service from Karim and Ahmed, who were always warm, helpful, and a lot of fun! We highly recommend this gem for an incredible experience in Egypt!

The hotel facade is not very good, and the lobby is similar to that of three-star hotels in China. I was waiting for check-in for more than an hour because the hotel did not receive a confirmation number. However, when I walked through the lobby, I found a different world. This resort is really big, with a very beautiful environment and a refreshing feeling. The only problem is that the room facilities are relatively old.
