"Booked El Khalil pyramids hotel, turned up, a man said sorry we dont have your booking, you will need to pay again. Interesting, as i had already paid. I check all the details and pictures, same hotel. The guy says we dont have online bookings or listings, you need to book direct only, this listing isnt his.
So i call his bluff, phone the number listed under the booking details, his phone rang... rigjt there infront of me. We had some back and forth, but in the end he was just saying the price...

"Unorganized and Dirty. From the reception, managment, and shuttle service it was chaos. Took us over an hour to fully check in - from shuttle pick up to actually using the key card to unlock the hotel room - which is only a 5 min drive from the airport. The rooms were filthy and smelled of stale smoke. The towels had stains on them. We wanted to eat in the hotel restaurant, however due to the cleanliness, we were concerned we would get food poison. Even from a safety perspective, the staff made me feel extremely uncomfortable as a woman, even though I was with several male family members. I would NEVER recommend staying at this property. "
"Great experience. One thing that was problematic was that cold drinks were not included in the total price. Especially water, water should not have been an extra cost during meals.
Fantastic staff!"
"Clean room
Great staff
Checking in and out was simple - and efficient.
Breakfast was nice. Best seats were those overlooking the River Nile.
On some days- you could watch and listen to someone playing the piano in the lobby. Absolutely fantastic !
I am still trying to figure out why they give luggage tags at checkout even when you do not let the staff take it off you. If it had the number of bags written on the tag- then fine. Guess they have their reasons for doing so.
All in all - a lovely relaxed stay . "
"Hotel was under construction with only two floors that were finished. Staff were unhelpful. When we checked in we had to wait over 1hr to get a room. We arrived after midnight and the room they gave us was not the right ones. They corrected this for the following night. Would not recommend this."
"This hotel is an oldie but a goodie. Well positioned if you can cross roads. It represents good value if you are out all day sightseeing. Why pay more if you’re not there? Close to the beautiful old town or downtown Cairo that has many touches of Paris or French influences but naturally is a bit more dusty! Breakfast is hectic between 7-8 am when all the tour groups pile in to have breakfast and then rush off as "
"We have loved Kempinski hotel in our previous stays elsewhere in the world. This hotel feels relatively a little old and did not give that luxury feel. The afternoon tea was expansive, took a long time to prepare and somewhat stall food. The staff were very nice. Other services were good. "
