The guardian guesthouse was a great spot to stay and see the pyramids. The staff went out of their way to make our stay welcoming and help us with all our questions. We love the rooftop deck and ate breakfast there every morning.

If you are looking for a perfect stay directly across the Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza this is a Guest House similar to a bed and breakfast with a very kind family that runs the home. Rooms have view to the pyramids right in the center we stayed in room 103 Excell view to sunrise and sunset from our room and also from the roof top.

This is probably on par with a hostel or motel. But we stayed here for the view, and it delivered. The view was unbeatable.

Very clean room. Very comfortable bed. Wonderful staff. Amazing views of the Pyramids and the Sphinx from our bedroom and from the terrace. Outstanding breakfast that was very fresh, tasty, and had lots of variety, with excellent service. Highly recommend this property. (There is some street noise, but that is to be expected in Egypt).

Incredible views

A nice guest house with the most incredible views of the pyramid and sphinx and a friendly and helpful staff. Make sure to book a room with a view.
Verified review

6/10 Good

As a solo female traveller I felt super safe as the hotel was busy and staffed 24/7 inside and outside. It was also gated from the outside so nobody could come in from the street. The rooms were large and the beds good but dated and needed a Reno. Only complaint is the water pressure in the shower. But overall the location was really good, the view as advertised and I got a safe comfortable sleep.

Great place for a couple days to see the pyramids and other sights around Giza. I would get a separate hotel for when you want to sight see around Cairo to save a long commute. Overall, good place to stay.

View if the Sphinx and Piramids of Giza is the big plus of this hotel. Room was clean. Service was decent.

An amazing location where we were able to wake up to views of the Sphinx and Pyramids each morning! The rooftop terrace was perfect to watch the evening light and sound show. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly, offering great suggestions for local food and souvenirs. Not knowing what to expect in Egypt, we felt very safe in the area, so would highly recommend this to other travelers!

We had previously rented an AirBnB in Giza, but after reading some things online decided to cancel and book something else and wow are we glad we did! Everyone was so wonderful and the view from the top floor - incredible! The staff were amazing, giving us advice on how to navigate the city, what to avoid and how to be safe. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay near the pyramids. The staff are so nice - the one evening we came in and told the gentleman that the lobby smelled wonderful and he told us it was the diffuser. As we went upstairs, he showed us the brand and bottle of the scent he was using. We joked about purchasing it from him, and he let us!!!! (And not an up charged ridiculous price we had to haggle). We had the best time staying here!

Lovely hotel with a view of the Pyramids and Sphinx right in front of you from the large window in the room and from the rooftop terrace. Too bad there is no elevator, but the staff helped me carry my luggage. I would stay there again.

It's important to understand that staying in a Cairo neighborhood is vastly different than staying at a Nile river resort. Giza, near the Pyramids is gritty. It's safe, but it's definitely not fancy. The hotel is wonderful. Breakfast is good. There is no elevator.

We were there for the view, and oh what a view from our window, pyramids and the Sphinx! At checkin we were welcomed as family and treated as such with every question we had. The included breakfast buffet is large and has varied options. The property is vintage and could use some spiffy-ing and the area is not as appealing as some but we knew that when booking, it’s part of the experience. Location is across the street from the Giza pyramid complex entrance and a close Uber trip to the Grand Egyptian Museum which served us well for a few days in that area.

While it is simpler and less fancy than nearby hotels, this property offers a wonderful value for any traveler. The guest house is run by a family that has lived there for generations. They are gracious and kind. They do not hassle you to buy knickknacks or trips you don’t need, though they will help arrange trips if you ask. The front desk is available 24 hours per day. The breakfast is mostly local foods but adequate for any tastes. The best thing about this hotel is the rooftop, which has a direct view of the sphinx and pyramids without obstruction. It is literally right across the street. The rooftop is open 24 hours. Laundry service is available and very affordable but it does not come back folded. However, there is an iron and ironing board available for all guests to use. They do not have a restaurant, but there are many good restaurants just a short walk away ( try Restaurant Pyramids, El Gizawy, or Abo Emad) . The downside is that if you have a physical disability this hotel would not be for you. There are stairs but no elevator. Also there is some loud (sometimes obnoxious) music from an adjacent hotel in the neighborhood that can interrupt the serenity of the rooftop in the evening but that is true for every hotel in the area and not something that the guesthouse can control. We have stayed with this family 4 times in past trips to Egypt, and we will do so again in the future.

A family run guesthouse. Furnishings are old but clean. Staff was responsive and helpful. Good breakfast. The best thing is of course the location. Pyramid view from my room. The rooftop deck is amazing. Airport pickup was smooth.
