As I lay here awake well past 10pm, the incredibly loud DJ music from some nearby club or music enthusiast (not sure which) is blaring at a volume to rival the lollapalooza center stage. This is our third night at this hotel and the third in a row with noise that is so crisp, loud and clear I have questioned if it’s coming from my room television (it’s not). This is of course only outdone by the (not even kidding) two ROOSTERS that begin their crowing right outside our window at 0400am. That’s the ambiance sorted, now onto the rest. The rooms are worn and dated but mostly clean. The bright spot is the breakfast. The downstairs restaurant is the one spot in the hotel that appears to have been updated recently. The food is good, but not exceptional.||||The area is not good for walking and taxis are no where to be found in the suicidal death dance that is Cairo’s uncontrolled traffic (seriously guys, how about a stop light or two?!?) And the hotel will only set up ‘tours’ for you at what I considered a high cost (USD 50) for only transport to/from destinations like the main museum. They also set up legit tours, but if you only need transport (which you will need) you will spend a fortune here just to get back and forth to dinner. ||||Finally, the staff are professional but clearly trained to push tours on the guests. This is what we expected and thus was fine with us. The service staff are all uniformed and attentive, but seemed a little out of place in this sort of hotel. Ultimately, it feels a bit like a Fawlty Towers episode if it were filmed in the overcrowded, trash strewn, feral dog and cat infested streets of Cairo. But if you are coming to Cairo, virtually all the hotels are in those streets, so you can’t blame the hotel for the landfill outside. ||||Not sure where the 3 star rating came from, but it’s more aptly a 2.5. If you want a one day two night stop over for ONLY the pyramids, this is a suitable and inexpensive location. If you want more? Well, not sure what to tell you....

My vacation was from 2/1 to 2/13, 2024, and it was an enjoyable vacation. About a year ago, I commented negatively on the Gawharat Al-Ahram Hotel in several ways. I did not like it as one of the guests at that time, but my current vacation has noticeably improved the situation for the better in many ways. Which bothered me last year, and most of them have already been resolved in a real and serious manner.. The floors and rooms have been renovated in a very satisfactory manner, the elevator has also been renewed, and the open breakfast buffet has been restored, in a satisfactory manner so far, although there should be more variety than that, but so far I have been satisfactory. The treatment from the staff is good and welcoming. I am very happy with the guests and you feel that you are one of the place among them. They are very kind and cooperative. I take the opportunity to thank Madam Elham, the reservations officer. She is truly an example and supervisor of the hotel. She pays attention to the details of everything the guests need, asks them about their satisfaction or what bothers them, and tries hard to solve any problem for them in the hotel. This is what really distinguishes the hotel now.. The problem that still exists is the swimming pool for the guests and the problem of the swimming schools and the inability of the guests to enjoy it in the presence of many children all the time. I proposed two suggestions to them. I hope that one of them will take it up to solve this problem because it really negatively affects them... The hotel is family-friendly par excellence and its location is at the end of Al-Haram Street. It is only 10 minutes away from the pyramids, and next to it are all services,...
Read moreThis is the worst place i have ever been this and i would never recommend this place to anyone anywhere. The people there are very very very very rude and are only chasing money and want money. Their service is literally the worst ever, i was eating in the lobby and one of the security came and put a plastic bag in front of me and told me to pack my garbage which was very shocking. I called a friend of mine in a very rude and offensive way. This is not a welcoming place to anyone. I am very displeased and disappointed in spending a penny in this place and i strongly advise people not to visit this place at all or even spend a penny there. They literally kicked me out of the room because i was 15 mins late for check out and was packing my bags and bare in mind that i am a hijabi girl so a guy literally entering my room in such a rude way and kicking me out was...
