4/4 found this review helpful

after a long trip, we arrived at 1am, and there was a wedding at the reception, so too much noise, we could not communicate at reception.
upstairs, there were families with children in the hall sitting on the carpet on the floor near the rooms, smoking with their feet all over the place, so we had to jump over feet. and see a horrible room, with old furniture, only 4 arabic TV channels no CNN, old curtains, old bedsheets, the shower was broken, and the Air conditioner did not work. we left Immediately, the manager decided to talk to us by the WORST pool i have ever seen in my life.
one hour later, we were at Oberoi Mena House, now THAT was a Hotel and well worth it.

3/3 found this review helpful

I've been had! The hotel is so old, it must have been opened when the Pyramids were being built. I am normally gracious to my host, but I am honest as well. For New Year's party, I was served soup consisting of hotwater sprinkled with salt and pepper costing me LE 200, plus two slices of rubber sole masquerading as beef and chicken. If not for the holiday spirit, I would have complained. I don't know why the hotel is still open. Don't they have government bodies that regulates hotels which iz as vital to the economy as the Pyramids are?

“The worst ever, even by Cairo standards.”

11/11 found this review helpful

This hotel is located very close to Giza Pyramids, almost in the neighborhood. It has a very good view of Pyramids but unfortunately the neighborhood is not very pleasant. It is by a street and it is not a proper street even by Cairo standards. On one side, a tiny branch of river Nile tries to flow among the dumped garbage cumulated over years. The other side is covered with cars, leaving a trail of dust for the enthusiastic pedestrian.
There are no shops near, even to buy water. You have to take a cab for your every need, which is a very tiresome task in Cairo.
The hotel's building was nice when it was built. Then nothing much happened, forget about any repairs or maintenance I doubt that there was ever any cleaning done.
People at reception are OK, at least they seem to understand you even though I got a feeling you get what they have in their minds regardless of what you ask for.
The entrance gives you enough clues for the awaiting horrors but as a naive tourist, informed about the low standards of Cairo Hotels you still keep your optimistic mood.
But the real show starts with the very first step away from the reception. The elevator looks like it was bought second hand from a mine shaft. Some buttons are missing so if your room is located in one of those floors you can start enjoying the walk in corridors which you can easily assume yourself kind of an unintended Indiana Jones finding your way in a Pyramid.
The room was really dusty and dirty. I think there wasn’t any cleaning ever done for the whole season, maybe longer. Sheets were newly washed, even though there were suspicious yellowish/reddish stains but they looked permanent. I think they happened too long ago and survived just too many Egyptian laundries, so I put up with it. But the rest of the room was not acceptable in any standards.
Starting from the least, the TV set belongs to 70s. It is an analogue color TV that you need to turn the knobs to tune a channel, anyway there is no sensible TV broadcast regardless of how hard you try.
The lights are not working at all, in my room there was only one working lamp but with a dim bulb. I think this was on purpose to hide the horrors you will encounter in the room. Even for the most easy going person on hygiene, and I can count myself in that class, stepping on the thing supposed to be carpet-once barefoot is unthinkable. Life is easier if you don’t see much.
The bathroom was a complete disaster. The bath tube was covered with the residue of previous unlucky guests, I can’t image how many. There was a foot print left by a hiking boot, and that spot looked like the cleanest part of the tube. I couldn’t decide whether taking a shower in that tube would render me cleaner or not so I had to skip shower even though it was my dream on the long wait in airport terminals, buses and lobby.
The toilet was a bit better, there was a consistent smell coming out of it but flush was working and there was toilet paper.
The sink was very much like the tube, but at least you don’t have to step on it.
In our room we had several cockroaches. I saw pictures of startled lizards taken by my friends staying in other rooms. There were rumors of spotted rats in corridors, but since the place is delusional I am not sure they were true.
Briefly, this place has completed its commercial function long ago. Even though it has 4 stars, it is not even close. Its fauna is like an endless broadcast of life of pests documentary and even though a bit dull, the place itself is history.
People will keep saying, all the hotels in Cairo are the same. Don’t believe it. I know because I changed the hotel. I am not writing the second hotel’s name here according to rules of this forum. But if you are one of those unlucky souls destined to Siag Pyramids Hotel and reading these lines know that there is life out of Siag.
