To avoid disappointment please read this review. The hotel is a budget hotel neat the pyramids. That being said the staff are all very friendly and cannot do enough to help. The rooms are clean and ones we stayed in had working air conditioning. The Expedia description of this hotel is incorrect in that: 1) There is no lounge/bar (you can order soft drinks at reception) 2) There is no coffee shop/cafe (you can order coffee at reception) 3) There is no restaurant (You can order food at reception) 4) The only common areas are reception and the roof terrace (See photos of the hotel) 5) There is no ATM 6) There is no garden (We didn't find one anyway) 7) WiFi works, sometimes. 8) TV did not work in the rooms we stayed in. The roof terrace has a good view of the pyramids and garden furniture. Eating is done on the roof terrace, as is everything else. As it gets dark quickly some time around 18:00 and with the sun set temperatures drop as well, food will go cold very quickly. It is also quite windy in the evenings so cans of drink and water bottles will blow off tables etc. The hotel is on a noisy busy road which will stay busy well into the early hours, so be prepared for noisy nights. I am not trying to do a hatchet job job here, but the Expedia description of this hotel paints a very different picture that what it actually is. For a budget short stay hotel near the pyramids it is fine with the advantage of having extremely friendly and helpful staff.

The staff was very courteous and very kind all the time. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was delightful. A special thanks for Mido, the owner for his hospitality and kindness. He was great!

The staff was nice, but the bathroom was not clean and not suitable, the phone did not work, the water heater did not work properly, the refrigerator did not cool, there was no lift

This was the most magical experience I could ever hope for. And the team at Taj were the most genuine and friendly people I have met. They definitely made the trip special. The roof terrace and all round service was phenomenal I will definitely be returning here ✌

We had a fantastic stay in Taj really enjoyed very close to Pyramids

The room at this place is clean and the front desk is friendly. Breakfast is great. A free water bottle has been provided. Good to have a microwave and small refrigerator in a room. Have stayed 5 nights. Drs . Syed & Emolyn Hussaini.

Rooms had some signs of wear and tear, but were kept clean and tidy. Daily inquiries if I wanted my rooom clleaned. As the hotel lies along a quite busy street AND traffic in Egypt is VERY noisy, some noise in the rooms facing the street is unavoidable (I was prepared with ear-plugs, and that worked fine with me). I must commend the friendly an service-minded staff. They went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. I will also reccomend the trips arranged by the hotel. I had a very knowledgable and nice guide ("Hime") and competent driver(s). They made me feel as safe one can be in the traffic maelstrom of Cairo(!) I had a great stay and can reccomend the hotel to anyone looking fra a nice and safe base for adventures in the Cairo /Giza area.

Excellent customer service! A family-owned business. Medo, the owner, and Vader, his cousin, are very helpful and attentive to our needs. They treated us like family during our 10-day stay. Highly recommended!

Excellent service and staff! They are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The welcoming dinner was delicious. Breakfast was great, fresh and great amount of food! The room was specious and with a nice view to the pyramids. 100% recommended!

Yes foods were fresh but getting a cup of coffee was erratic.

Bathroom needs counters & towel racks. No surface to put down things. Needs a shower door. Everything gets wet. No hair dryer. No elevators. We are in our 70’s and had to climb 10 flights of stairs to get to our room. All room numbers in all floors begin with 5 and it’s hard to say where you are.

The hotel is great and the staff is super helpful.

The staff are on helpful insofar as they press you into affiliated business and charge you exorbitant prices. They run scams with friends of there’s where all the money you spend at shops, rides, hotel, it’s all part of the same group. I was lied to about what rides using a driver they are affiliated with would cost. And even if I wasn’t lied to, they charged $30 per ride (they had informed me $30 as a package of rides but did an about face and tried charging $30 for each when checking out). I left the hotel two days before my booking ended to spend the rest of my trip elsewhere. Originally, they refused to refund me the days when I ended the booking. They refused this to me as well as Expedia support. Eventually, the owner did refund me. There was no hot water in my room for days as well and despite having multiple people check the heater thermometer and confirming I did not have any, the manager repeatedly told me, as well as Expedia support, that I was a liar just trying to get additional refunds. I will never stay here again when I return to Egypt. Lastly, the same manager threatened to call “the government” on me when he refused refunds and called me a liar. It took two Egyptian, Arabic speaking friends of mine to come and assist me to receive my refunds and confirm check out.

Our stay at Taj was exceptional. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and just what we needed for a good nights rest after a long day of activities. A highlight of this hotel is the rooftop with phenomenal views of the pyramids. Eating breakfast every morning with views of the Pyramids was amazing. Taj set up our pick up from the airport which was smooth and easy. Once we arrived the owner of the hotel helped us arrange all of our tours for the week. All we had to do was enjoy our time in Egypt. I would definitely stay here again!

Great Staff, bed bugs, the sheets and towels were old and of poor quality. NO ELEVATOR. We requested clean towels and wet towels were delivered. The staff is nice but thats it.

Waking up in Cairo after a late arrival, and seeing the Pyramids from our room, and the rooftop restaurant was amazing! Staff were very helpful and friendly!!

family run hotel with great sevice.Nadar and his staff did a great job in organizing trips for us and were very flexible. the airport pick up was just great and worked out very well. we spent 4 nights and will repeat again in the future. A highle recommended place despite some small short . comings. CONGRATULATIONS

I’m glad I chose this hotel it’s very good location and breakfast is amazing and free.

Staff friendliness

The staff was absolutely amazing. Whatever i needed they were there to get it for me. I would defiantly stay here again. Nader was the best.
