I think It was fantastic,, obviously places have their good and bad points like the swimming pool definatly wasnt exactly 5*, it was pretty small even though there were two, but they were also in the shade which meant they were cold. The Staff were amazingly nice,, chatting to you , helping you with what you wanted etc they were fantastic. Also a 1000% taxi driver who was amazing; Mohamed (i know they are all called Mohamed ,, but he was 57 yrs, tall, thin nice man) he was very good at english as he has visited before numerous times, he could get you in too places free because he knew many of the people there, knew the best places to visit in Egypt and knew a lot about the culture and history. The Hotel was beautiful and 5/5 for cleaness. Fantastic ,, definatly visit again!!!!!

Love this hotel

I have stayed at the Cairo Pyramisa at least 4 times each year for the past few years - a total of 17 stays of 4 to 5 days each. As I have stayed in other Egyptian 5* hotels as well (Sheraton, Hilton) I can honestly state that the Pyramisa is at least equal to any other 5* hotel in Egypt. The restaurants, piano bar and coffee shops are clean and hygienic, the range of foods offered on the very generous buffet meals fantastic. My personal favourite rooms are those on level 3, but the suite style rooms on other levels offer enormous space and enchanting 'old-style' furnishing. In all a very comfortable hotel, well positioned to the Nile and everything that Cairo has to offer. The reception staff are friendly and helpful, their English adequate, and thier smiles broad. I recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a great hotel in central Cairo. I have read other reports on this hotel and suggest that they are mostly works of fiction.

Pyramisa

I too have just returned from a week's stay at this excellent hotel. Although I believe five stars is a tad ambitious the staff alone should be rated way above this. As my fellow traveller, Debbie, has already mentioned the room was lacking with beverage as there was neither a mini bar or tea and coffee facilities. Despite this our stay at the Pyramisa, which is central to all that Cairo has on offer, was one of the most enjoyable holidays I have ever encountered. The staff were both exceedingly friendly and helpful as are all of Cairo's residents! Although I had heard tales of dirt and decay I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of both the food areas and the hotel itself. If it wasn't for the hotel we would never have met Mohammed, our chauffeur and friend, from Target Limousines, who managed to show us and immerse us into the amazing City of Contrasts that is Cairo. I would heartily recommend this hotel!

Flashes of five star

Having just returned from spending a brilliant week at the Pyramisa I felt I had to write a review. I was nervous after reading some of the negative reviews prior to departure, and concede that there was indeed no mini bar and the pool was shaded for much of the day(there was no charge for the pool,however, and the very helpful pool attendant brought clean towels after each dip) The food was delicious; beautifully and hygienically presented with a very wide selection, both at breakfast and evening meal. The staff were incredibly friendly, even providing us with an evening meal one night when we arrived at 11.30 and had missed dinner. The waitors and bar staff were attentive and good fun to talk to. Egyptians have got to be some of the friendliest people in the world. We used The Target limousine private taxi service for all our excursions. Our driver, Mohammed was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly and certainly provided us with a different view of Cairo than is customary! Galaxy discoteque was good fun and the dj played requests. It was free to enter and the drinks were the same price as in the rest of the hotel. The room was cleaned thoroughly every day and towels changed. I particularly liked the swan shapes the towels were sometimes made into and placed on the bed.

What ever u do..... DONT EAT THERE

Without a doubt, this is the worst 5 star hotel i've ever stayed in, having stayed in at least 10 others around the world. The food was disgusting, with birds flying around and even seen sat ON the buffets provided, i would not be surprised if someone catches bird flu from eating here. As of the 3rd day i was experiencing severe tummy cramps, unable to barely walk, with frequent diarrhoea. Having been told it was "air born" i found it hard to believe having seen the poor hygiene of the hotel and how they present their food, and once we started eating out in Naama Bay (Camel bar - highly recommend) within 3 days my stomach was better. However other guests that continued to eat there, still suffered. And were even given jabs by the local doctor, as told it was air borne and the only way to get rid of it. The pool was dirty with stones and cracked plaster, clearly needed resurfacing. The pool was never cleaned throughout our whole stay there. And if that wasn't bad enough, the pool and beach bars only served warm drinks, as we were told that their fridges werent working!! This is not the standard of a 5 star hotel. I am disgusted, having only arrived back 2 days ago, am still in shock at the ruin this hotel has caused my 10 day holiday to Egypt. And warn anyone that plans to go - DO NOT EAT THERE!!

Not a 5 star hotel
Submitted by: Nasreen Khan in 05/08/06

This is not a 5 star hotel more like 1 star hotel. Please note you will have to pay for the gym and swimming on hourly basis. You will not be allowed to borrow the iron. the executive rooms facing the nile are filthy and dusty and the noise is unbelievable, you will not get any SLEEP. The curtains weren't long enough for the windows,the location is town down therefore expect alot of hassle. This has been the owrst hotel I have ever stayed in! Don't waist your money!

The good and the bad

From the outside the Pyramisa looks run down, with the four seasons opposite it you wish you had booked there! When we checked in we had to wait at least ten minutes to before having someone deal with us and then a mute booked us in without a smile and a porter snatched our bags from us took us up to our rooms and then tried to sell package trips to us and would not leave for ages. The room we had was a Junior suite which was OK for space but was run down (like the rest of Cairo)the bathroom was clean, although the soap and other toiletries were used! There were no bathrobes as it says on their website, nor was there a turndown service or coffee making facilities in the room. We has one soft pillow and one hard with a bed as hard as the floor, the sheets, although clean, did have hairs on them. In in-room safe did not work so we had to use the safe in the lobby. The breakfast was satisfactory if you don't mind eating cakes or chicken sausages every morning. The pool i didn't use but it is very small, which is what i expected from the pictures. The staff did not understand us at all, the bed was very hard (although you do get used to this during your stay) but we asked if they had another room with a softer bed to which they told us to turn the AC down then when we repeated it with a demonstaration they then told us to pull down the sheet, after realising we were not going to get anywhere we just agread with them and walked off. I also found the staff very rude at times, being blond they stared a lot and openly talked about you to eachother, at one point i had six of the kitchen staff looking through the serving hatch at me, they made me feel so uncomfortable, i expected it on the streets but not in the hotel. The Piano bar was very nice beer costing about £2.40, all the reastaurants were good with food costing about £13 for the both of us to have a two course meal but a bottle of wine costs about £20 so the alcohol really does bump up the price. The chinese and the Egyptian was wonderful! Despite the problems we had with the hotel and it's staff we really did have a good time, and i would recomend going there for three or four days but i wouldn't stay longer.

Holiday in Cairo

My family enjoyed staying at the Pyramisa. The rooms are beautiful especially the ones over looking the Nile. The rooms are large even for a family of 4 children. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the large selection of breakfast and dinners in which there was always something to suit everyone. It was easy to travel to most places of interest. The children loved the zoo which was quite closeby. Also a visit to Cairo Tower was excellent.I would advise always to take taxis as the roads can be busy to cross especially with children.
