Room was very nice shower was not perfectly designed so water is falling out while showering but it’s liveable. Rooms cleaned daily and staff are very friendly and go the extra mile to help. The breakfast is on point and the view from the rooftop is beautiful. It’s a family environment but I’m sure couples would love it also. Would definitely recommend for budget friendly travel to Cairo with a great view.

The Galaxy Pyramid Hotel was a wonderful hotel to stay. Our room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, the bed was huge and we had a great view of the pyramids!
The hotel staff - Abdo, Saif, Mohammed/Ghandi, and our taxi driver Hassan were all amazing and Nothing was too much trouble. We unfortunately had a suitcase issue when we got to Cairo, but all the staff could not do enough to help.
Abdo even helped us when we returned back into Cairo a few days later. A Superstar!! ⭐️

I stayed here with my son and 80 year old mother. It doesn’t look like much from the outside but it has the most spectacular view of the Giza pyramids.
