Sphinx Palace Guest House

Friendly and professional guesthouse with an unbeatable location (see the rooftop terrace pics). This guesthouse also arranges excellent tours with English speaking drivers and guides at a reasonable price. They are also helpful getting to and from the airport. Overall, Mr. Sheriff and his family made me feel well cared for and helped me to have a very complete Egyptian experience. I cannot recommend them enough!

We loved this place; it's a bit no frills, but the location is awesome, the terrasse too (although a bit cold during our stay: must be paradise in Summer!) and at least our room was extremely big, silent and clean, with good beds. Breakfast was good, specially all things considered (price and location). For Cairo Pass wannabe clients only: this property is on the south entrance of the site, and the pass needs to be bought at the north...You will need an Uber to go! Otherwise the entrance is really closeby :) The room was clean, the breakfast area - sink not that much... We would go back without hesitation!

Would stay again The room was clean and comfortable, with a hot shower and clean bathroom. All of the outlets in the room were compatible with American power plugs. Sharif offers tea or coffee on arrival. The unobstructed rooftop view of the pyramids was the best part of the stay. Sharif offers different tour packages for purchase- we opted for the guided camel ride around the pyramids and to the panoramic view point. He runs 2 or 3 other businesses in town and is a salesperson for sure, but he was cordial and straight forward, and never pushy. The property felt decently safe. Would recommend to others for sure.

Cet hôtel n'existe pas. Il y a un seul hôtel 'best view pyramids' hôtel qui a plusieurs faux noms d'hôtels sur les sites. Les trois personnes que j'ai rencontré dans l'hôtel ont eu le même expérience. Ils ont cherché leur hôtel désespérément à 2h du matin. On vous amène ici pour montrer des chambres plus chères. J'ai forcé la main pour qu'ils respectent le tarif indiqué sur Booking et trip advisor. Effectivement, le prix de 28 € n'est presque rien mais vous êtes harcelé constamment pour acheter des services, taxis, excursions. Pas de TV, connexion internet intermittent, pas de savon, pas de vrai restauration, pas de ménage,petit déjeuner immangeable. Chameaux, cheveux, vendeurs, chiens, taxis voleurs presque à la porte. Fausses appréciations sur les sites (qui obtient 9/10 voir 10/10 sur Booking. Magnifique vue sur les pyramides. Encore une fois, pas cher du tout mais stress au max.. allez plutôt au mamlouk pyramids hôtel, un peu plus cher mais toujours super raisonnable ou encore mieux ne restez pas à Gizeh...

The owner, Sherif, is the most welcoming host! He makes the Sphinx Palace and your time in Giza so special. He was my contact while in Egypt for 2 weeks and arranged for tours, a 5-star dinner cruise and last minute bookings as I changed hotels to stay at Sphinx Palace again near the end of my trip. He will exchange your Euros or US money at the bank for you to get the best rate. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds and linens, no bugs, air conditioning, mini fridge, storage closet, freshly laundered towels and nice Arabic soap. The desk is not monitored, so you have keys for the building, like your own apartment! Sherif is available any time on WhatsApp and responds within minutes. Free breakfast is in the main living room with fresh bread, cream cheese and jam and is served with eggs cooked to order by Abdo. Coffee and tea are available 24/7 to enjoy while gazing at the Pyramids. The location is in a quiet end of the main road that runs in front of the Pyramids. I enjoyed waking up each day to see the camels & horses heading to the Pyramids gate around 8am. The views of the Pyramids, Sphinx and Giza are amazing from your room and the rooftop, where you can watch the nightly lightshow and see the town come to life when the sun goes down. Be sure to visit Sherif and his friends at his Papyrus gift shop and take a tour of his pure Egyptian essential oils factory. I bought some papyrus paintings to take home, as well as 4 bottles of oil. Will be back to Sphinx Palace soon!

The manager, Sharif, is quite a character who takes good care of his guests. The rooms are modern and clean and comfortable. The building is situated close to the 9 pyramids of Giza and there are plenty of shops nearby. It was a pleasant experience overall and i would stay there again
