Desert Moon

Everything was perfect.

The positive: Wonderful views. Very cheap. Very cozy rooftop. Wonderful staff and owner. Truly beautiful people. The negative: Low standard. Worn down. Not a nice area. Dirt roads, stray dogs and garbage all over the place. Close to the highway, so it’s noisy. For my purpose, this was a good enough place, but I would probably try somewhere else next time. For me the dealbreaker was the noise from the highway when I was going to sleep.

Very nice staff! All of them.The owners/operators were very engaged with all the guests. Special thanks to Ahmed, who greeted me on my prior visit just to check out the hotel, and again yesterday when I arrived. Very professional. Thanks to the owners/operators. Gabrielle (sp) and Mohammad. Even all the guests were cordial. I met several from Ireland. I had a double room with city view just for me. I specifically book my room to determine if I wanted to rebook the following year, of which I already did. The rooms have been remodeled and are very clean. The terrace is so nice, especially at night with the view of the pyramids. I was lucky to be there doing a full moon where the moon was directly beside the pyramids. What a sight to see. You can also watch the skydivers early in the morning around the Pyramids. Breakfast is served in intervals over 30+ minutes or more. Basically, coffee/tea/juice earlier and then veggies and cheese etc, followed up by eggs, falafel and dessert. So, don't do what I did and fill up at the beginning and have no room for the rest!😅. Make sure to tip the cook(s). They do a fantastic job. Thanks to everyone that made my stay wonderful. *Just a heads up for future guests if you have never been to Giza before. This hotel is located in in the middle of the desert, just like the Pyramids, so you will see lots of dust/sentiment outdoors as you would in any desert city like in Phoenix, Arizona. USA, for example. Inside the hotel is pristine.

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Is this REAL? I arrived late and was tired so I had to stay the night in this joke of a place. It was meant to be 2 nights but next morning, first thing (after free breakfast) I ran away!! Pros: Nice view from the roof. Homemade cakes n biscuits were nice. Friendly staff(more about staff in cons!!). Cons: Area is like a war zone: stray dogs, dirt roads with more potholes than all the roads in the world COMBINED!!! Feels unsafe Unprofessional staff: The guy met me in flip flops!!! And was eating pumpkin seeds or something...I mean...R U FOR REAL??? Rooms n place are NOT as you see in photos. Deceiving big time. The place needs a lick of paint and proper redecorating and cleaning. TV in main area(the roof) freezes every now and then, so watching a live champions league game was a nightmare. What is this place??? I didn't know wether to cry or laugh!! Never again.

Very nice hotel and staff was very nice I just didn't like where the hotel was located but I got a nice view to the Giza Pyramids
