Prior to taking a NIle cruise my wife and I spent three nights at the Mena House Hotel. What a lucky choice! We were fortunate to stay in the old Palace building and as we opened our curtains next morning we were greeted by a stunning uninterupted view of the Great Pyramid. The room was large and very comfortable and... more

Travelled with Jules Verne on a Nile cruise and Cairo trip which I would totally recommend, the Hamees boat and the staff were outstanding, fantastic tour, Jules Verne know how to do this tour. I loved the hotel, massive rooms good facilities, complementary bottled water, however the first night we were put in a ground floor room by the entrance... more

Gorgeous Hotel surrounded by beautiful gardens – not to mention the stunning Pyramid backdrop. We didn’t have a pyramid view room (as we didn’t spend much time in the room) but we did have a view of the construction going on in the grounds with the new pool. There wasn’t too much noise from this, so not really a concern.... more

This is one of the great hotel locations in the world. Sitting in the lobby bar with the Great Pyramid looming right behind you is genuinely unique. The view from our Garden View room with the Palace and Great Pyramid behind was spectacular. There are flowers everywhere, including rose petals in your bathroom and fresh flowers in the public areas.... more

Garden rooms just fine - even those with no view are quiet. They are presently constructing beautiful gardens all around the newer rooms. The... more

A stunning hotel in view of the Pyramids, with three restaurants, two lounges with entertainment, pool, gym and other amenities. Service was superb. Though construction is underway for a new restaurant building and pool, the noise was not distracting. Had dinner in the 'continental' restaurant which featured a show with belly dancer and whirling dervish -- superb performances. All rooms... more

A palatial experience, amazing location, friendly staff and excellent service. more

Highly recommend this hotel. We had pyramid a view room, the Great Pyramid was filling the view from our bedroom and we loved it. Built in 1869 as a hunting lodge for the king, it is steeped in history. Having three full days of exploration of Cairo with our knowledgeable guide, it was like an oasis returning in the evenings... more

If you don't mind gazing at the Great Pyramids constantly this is THE place to be, not to mention the great service and wonderful food. Although it is not central Cairo, who cares, seeing the Great Pyramids on a daily basis is a wonderful, once in a lifetime experience! We tried in vain to get at least one nights stay... more
