The rooms at the Cecilia Hostel are simply furnished and have wooden flooring, air conditioning, ironing facilities and a mosquito net. Some rooms have a private bathroom. An excellent place run by really friendly people who like to engage with travelers. I had a great time staying there. Sara and team took excellent care of me. Had great conversations with them. The breakfast is fantastic. The terrace is a cool place to hang out if its not too cold. In all, I highly recommend this play if you are visiting Cairo. Location is fantastic, you are literally in the center for anything and everything,

The hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms offering a desk, a kettle, a fridge, a minibar, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a terrace and a private bathroom with a bidet. Guest rooms have a wardrobe. It exceeded our expectations. The staff, especially Omar, who assisted us on getting a cut, shopping fruits and chattering till night was exceptional. Ahmed was very warm too, welcomed us at night after our late flight, serving us a loaded breakfest every day and yes - it's the same like in the photos. They don't try to overcharge you too much and the tours (which we didn't take) were fairly priced. You're not being pushed into anything. The property is very new and despite being situated in chaotic Giza streets, its location is pristine - on a walking distance to the pyramids. You can take a walk to the pyramids through the authentic streets where (almost) nobody harasses you as a bonus. Really awesome - friendly, clean, you'll feel like you're at home.

The hostel will provide guests with air-conditioned rooms with a desk, a coffee machine, a fridge, a safety deposit box, a flat-screen TV, a balcony and a private bathroom with a shower. Pyramids Glory Inn provides some units with city views, and the rooms come with a kettle. All guest rooms feature a wardrobe. Staff are very helpful, accommodating, and nice! They can help you get uber if you are having issues with booking. Location is perfect. Less than 5min walk to the Pyramids Entrance/ Ticket counter. I got a great room with a direct view of the pyramids. Super nice! I can see the pyramids from the bed overlooking the balcony. There’s free water, coffee, and tea and sugar in the room. Rooftop was a great spot to see the pyramids as well. And they give you a big, hearty, breakfast. The bed was so comfortable as well. I slept really well. It was also quiet. AC works well. The door is very sturdy. Good supply of water. There is hot water in the shower. They provide shampoo and body wash and hand wash. There are towels as well. But the shower stall is quite small though (because the sliding door is limiting the space a bit) so could be an issue for others but works well for me as I am petite.
