Unforgettable Stay at Mak Pyramids View Hany is a wonderful host who made our stay truly special. We received a free room upgrade upon arrival, which was a lovely gesture. Every morning started with a delicious breakfast, and the personalized dinner was a real highlight. Hany even gave us a thoughtful souvenir when we left. He’s extremely friendly and made us feel like part of the family. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the pyramids!

The attention of Hannah, Sara and Zainab was outstanding. The room was spacious and bright, and the views of the pyramids from the balcony were nice. I don't remember having such a good breakfast, and all was homemade. They were also very accommodating to my late arrival past midnight.

It was my first time in Egypt as a solo traveller from The UK, and for me, the experience was exceptional. For the price and the location of the hotel, it is definitely worth every single penny. The staff is so friendly and prompts fast service in whichever situation. Whenever you need them, they are always available. The terrace on top is simply pwrfect for amazing view of the pyramids not all nine but you can have a selfie with such angle where all the major ones in the background will be there without too much space between each of them. As the property is family owned, they treat their guests with utmost respect, and you definitely feel home.. The owner helps you with everything, whatever you need and not to mention their agent. Farag is a very kind human being I have met in Egypt. I'm so glad I booked this hotel. Because of him I did most of the tours in cairo with the least money as I was a bit tight on my budget but a private tour with him was truly exceptional from the great pyramids to the museums to khan el khalili, all credit goes to him and the hotel owner. I will definitely come back here as I didn't have much time to enjoy. Thanks for having me)

    Great host-family with excellent service. The accommodation was very near to the Pyramids and super-clean, view was amazing. Breakfast was enough and excellent quality. It was Mr Mahmoud and his family, who were kind, friendly and customer-focused, made my stay special. I felt valued and been treated like a family member. This amazing accommodation and host family deserve a tourism award for their hard work and best service.
