Guardian Guest House

Guesthouse

Fairly basic accommodation but rooms are clean and very friendly service. Be prepared for some noise from the streets as it’s a busy area right next to the entrance to the Pyramids. Finally make sure to book a Pyramids View room as that, essentially, is the main attraction of this guest house, open the curtains and all three Pyramids and the Sphinx are there right in front of you!

Stayed here 4 nights and it served its purpose! At night you can go on the roof and watch the show of the pyramids. Was attended by a great welcoming family at the hotel and they were very helpful on getting me a tour n guide in luxor! The hotel is right across the street to the entrance of the pyramids!

Such an awesome place! Great location! Great service, awesome people with great hospitality and smiles, the pyramids and sphinx are literally right in front of you, you don't have to go anywhere to see it or to see the light and sound show. Highly recommended.

First place I stayed in egypt and it was one of the very best. It's not a 5 star hotel, but they definitely have 5 star service. Rooftop breakfast with the amazing pyramid view was just incredible. Wifi was very good and no other hotel ever offered free coffee or water as they offered. So kind and helpful. Thank you.

Great view. OK breakfast. Good clean rooms.

Great and friendly family managed hotel. They provide great service.

The is the hotel with the most AMAZING view in the whole wide world! So glad that we stayed here for 5days to properly explore Giza. The lady boss and the staffs are super friendly and help us with everything. I do highly recommend you to make your site seeing arrangement and camel rides with Guardian because they provide the best and you won't get cheated by the "aliens". Hassle free and their price is very honest too. Our room are huge and the views from our room is 10stars! Amazing out of this world to wake up to such view. Bonus: Great balcony view. Save your money for the light show. Go up at 730pm Bedsheets, towel and rooms are clean. Breakfast is abit disappointing, nothing much.

I Had a great experience from the very start. As soon as I walked into the Hotel a very nice young gentlemen came running down the stairs and assisted us with carrying our luggage up. He then brought us up to this quaint area and had us seated while he checked us in. There were 2 nice older couple that were sitting at the table and brought us bottled water and asked us to have a seat and welcomed us to their hotel. I have stayed in a lot of different hotels through out the United States including multiple high class hotels in New York City. The customer service the young gentlemen gave us can not be compared to any other hotel I have ever stayed at including any hotel in NYC. I am so used to having the front desk give me a card key and saying “Have a good stay” Meaning You are on your own now. The Gentlemen at the Guardian House personally brought us to our room and showed us how to use the television, use their internet and gave us a tour of our room. Something I am not used to at all. The room was kept up very nice and was very clean. I slept very well that night. The next morning they had a really nice breakfast spread. As I am not a breakfast person. I was not hungry the nice older lady was kind enough to tell me that I was welcome to take some breakfast with me to eat later. This hotel really cares about their guests. There are a few hotels to choose from. I picked this hotel because it had the view of the Pyramids. If you are looking at different hotels by the Pyramids.

Great view. Nice place except my bathroom was flooded.

Very friendly, very nice, clean and spacious facilities, we did not need anything else.

Right in front of the Giza Esplanade with the pyramids a few hundred meters away. Amazing View from the terrace… Free the show of lights and sounds… The neighborhood and the streets around very popular with annoying vendors, rooms with décor that has seen several decades… But clean bathroom and hotel.

Stayed here 4 nights and it surved its purpose! At night you can go on the roof and watch the show of the pyramids. Was attended by a great welcoming family at the hotel and they were very helpful on getting me a tour n guide in luxor! The hotel is right across the street to the entrance of the pyramids!

Best location in Cairo for main sights. But hotel is a 3 star hotel with very gracious and kind hosts. Do not expect high luxury.

Love it, people are very nice, clean, going back for the 3 time.

Cons: Location is perfect for pyramids, but quite far from the rest of Cairo. Although it is not the hotel's fault, the street outside stinks because of the horses, especially in the evening. Pros: Excellent view on pyramids — both from the room and from the rooftop; Possible to watch the sound & light show from rooftop; Very spacious room, decently sized bathroom. Adorable kitten to play with was an unexpected bonus.

Location, Location, Location! I stayed with this family run establishment for three days on my two week Egyptian backpacking trip. Their rooftop terrace overlooking the Sphinx & The Great Pyramids of Giza can't be beat by anyone. The pyramid ticket office/entrance is only 100ft from the hotel. The staff of this hotel was kind, helpful, and professional. The view from my room was stunning! I will be back!

The best experience in Egypt. You wake up and can see the pyramids from your bed. It's a dream. The personal is amazing, very kind. They are in all the details, and are very helpful. They help you in everything you need. If you go to Egypt don't doubt and stay here. They also help me to organize all the tours!

Most probably the best situated hotel for view of the Pyramids. The entrance to Pyramids is located opposite the hotel. The hotel is comfortable and exactly what you pay for. Room is comfortable and en-suite was clean. Family running place are very friendly and always on hand to help. The terrace was tremendous and light and sound show was visible from terrace. This accommodation does not have lifts and rooms are all accessible via stairs so may not be suitable for all.

Great time. Came alone and couldn't have felt safer. Clean and comfortable very worth it. And theres no need to pay for 4-5 stars hotel that probably wont live up to the European/american stand point. Complimentary breakfast, free Wifi and has a great view of the pyramids The only problem for me was the loud speakers near the guest house that annouce prayer 5 times a day throughout the whole city. But you wont regret this stay.

The hotel is great! I really recomend it. Very affordable and very cumfy and clean. You are near the pyramids od Giza and many Camel tours are avaliable! The staff are very nice and respectfull, theres also an awsome view.

Very helpful! Affordable, clean, comfortable & accommodating :) the views from the rooms are amazing and the roof terrace has a perfect view every night of the pyramid light show:)

Great hotel … Nice people … Awesome view.

A perfekt view of the Pyramids from the room and roof. And a friendly and helpful staff.

Excellent view of the Pyramids and Sphinx from the bedrooms and rooftop.

My family and I stayed with the Guardian Guest House from November 23rd through November 29th, 2014. The service was exceptional and comfortability was prime. The House employees were extremely respectful and helpful, providing us with all requested services. The manager, Ahmed Abdul Fayed, helped us make the most out of our short stay by booking trips to Alexandria, Luxor, Memphis, Saqqara, and Dahsure immediately upon our arrival. Mohammed, our driver, was always on time and made the trip that much more enjoyable with his glowing personality. Our Egypotologists, Nasser (from Cairo and Alexandria) and Mahmoud (from Luxor), added life and detail to Egypt's history. The House's location provided for an amazing view of the pyramids every single morning! It was also clean and quiet, and the prices are very, very fair! I highly recommend a stay at the Guardian Guest House if a trip to Egypt is in your future.

Excellent place to stay! The view of the pyramids is wonderful! The attention of everyone in the hotel is simply excellent.

Amazing! Great location but best of all our host is the most kind, informative and accommodating person you will know. Our time here will be remembered fondly.
