Guardian Guest House

Everything great, amazing views

The guardian guesthouse was a great spot to stay and see the pyramids. The staff went out of their way to make our stay welcoming and help us with all our questions. We love the rooftop deck and ate breakfast there every morning.

While it is simpler and less fancy than nearby hotels, this property offers a wonderful value for any traveler. The guest house is run by a family that has lived there for generations. They are gracious and kind. They do not hassle you to buy knickknacks or trips you don’t need, though they will help arrange trips if you ask. The front desk is available 24 hours per day. The breakfast is mostly local foods but adequate for any tastes. The best thing about this hotel is the rooftop, which has a direct view of the sphinx and pyramids without obstruction. It is literally right across the street. The rooftop is open 24 hours. Laundry service is available and very affordable but it does not come back folded. However, there is an iron and ironing board available for all guests to use. They do not have a restaurant, but there are many good restaurants just a short walk away ( try Restaurant Pyramids, El Gizawy, or Abo Emad) . The downside is that if you have a physical disability this hotel would not be for you. There are stairs but no elevator. Also there is some loud (sometimes obnoxious) music from an adjacent hotel in the neighborhood that can interrupt the serenity of the rooftop in the evening but that is true for every hotel in the area and not something that the guesthouse can control. We have stayed with this family 4 times in past trips to Egypt, and we will do so again in the future.

Third stay at the best dollar-for-dollar hotel in the world. It's not the Ritz, but the staff are friendly, the rooms, though basic, are clean and comfortable, and the view of the pyramids, from room or roof, is unmatched, particularly at sunrise and sundown. It's also 20m from the secondary entrance to the pyramid complex, so you can be on site first thing in the morning before it gets too hot.

Location was the best if you want a view from of the pyramids.

Excellent stay. 100% Recommend

The view is amazing!!! Everyone there was so helpful. Breakfast was great. The roof was great to have. The WiFi signal is tough. The location had supermarkets and restaurants all around. We will stay again.

Front desk very friendly. Clean room. Very good breakfast.

We had previously rented an AirBnB in Giza, but after reading some things online decided to cancel and book something else and wow are we glad we did! Everyone was so wonderful and the view from the top floor - incredible! The staff were amazing, giving us advice on how to navigate the city, what to avoid and how to be safe. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay near the pyramids. The staff are so nice - the one evening we came in and told the gentleman that the lobby smelled wonderful and he told us it was the diffuser. As we went upstairs, he showed us the brand and bottle of the scent he was using. We joked about purchasing it from him, and he let us!!!! (And not an up charged ridiculous price we had to haggle). We had the best time staying here!

If you are looking for a perfect stay directly across the Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza this is a Guest House similar to a bed and breakfast with a very kind family that runs the home. Rooms have view to the pyramids right in the center we stayed in room 103 Excell view to sunrise and sunset from our room and also from the roof top.

Location! Right in front of the sphinx and pyramids, two minute walking from entrance and ticket office (I recommend using the QR code to purchase tickets). Met the owner, beautiful lady and great customer service, our flight arrived past midnight and not issues with our check-in. Would stay again.

Staff was very courteous and outgoing. Always willing to fulfill our needs. Room was clean and comfortable. An incredible view of the pyramids from the rooftop.

Everything was perfect there, clean ,Custumer service etc …

amazing

As a solo female traveller I felt super safe as the hotel was busy and staffed 24/7 inside and outside. It was also gated from the outside so nobody could come in from the street. The rooms were large and the beds good but dated and needed a Reno. Only complaint is the water pressure in the shower. But overall the location was really good, the view as advertised and I got a safe comfortable sleep.

Very good place, homely. Mahmoud kindly took care of all our local tours and needs. The close-up view of the pyramids from the guesthouse is a winner!

This is probably on par with a hostel or motel. But we stayed here for the view, and it delivered. The view was unbeatable.

Very clean room. Very comfortable bed. Wonderful staff. Amazing views of the Pyramids and the Sphinx from our bedroom and from the terrace. Outstanding breakfast that was very fresh, tasty, and had lots of variety, with excellent service. Highly recommend this property. (There is some street noise, but that is to be expected in Egypt).

Very nice budget option-fantastic of the Sphinx and pyramids, friendly and clean.

I had a room with an amazing view of the pyramids and Sphinx! Plus the rooftop had the same great views. I watched the light show from the roof. Its location right at the gate was also great. Staff was great. Really a wonderful stay. I wished I had more than 2 nights there. I would definitely go back.
