+The thing is that wifi was not working and the AC wasn't getting cold and one of the AC wasn't working I told the owner and he kept telling me give it some time and it will get cold and after 4 hours the WIFI still didn't work and AC didn't get as cold I told him I need to cancel my reservation he said that can refund one of the rooms only and charge me for one
+The manager, Sharif, is quite a character who takes good care of his guests. The rooms are modern and clean and comfortable. The building is situated close to the 9 pyramids of Giza and there are plenty of shops nearby. It was a pleasant experience overall and i would stay there again
“Would stay again”
+The room was clean and comfortable, with a hot shower and clean bathroom. All of the outlets in the room were compatible with American power plugs. Sharif offers tea or coffee on arrival. The unobstructed rooftop view of the pyramids was the best part of the stay. Sharif offers different tour packages for purchase- we opted for the guided camel ride around the pyramids and to the panoramic view point. He runs 2 or 3 other businesses in town and is a salesperson for sure, but he was cordial and straight forward, and never pushy. The property felt decently safe. Would recommend to others for sure.

+First the good: Sharif was a kind and welcoming host. He lived in the US for a little while, which made him very easy to communicate with, both language-wise and culturally. When I was hungry in the evening after checkin, he went out and got me bananas, which was very kind. Also, the location is indeed as close to the pyramids entrance as you can possibly be. Perfect for going to the pyramids. He also gave me great food recs. On the negative side,
+The owner, Sherif, is the most welcoming host! He makes the Sphinx Palace and your time in Giza so special. He was my contact while in Egypt for 2 weeks and arranged for tours, a 5-star dinner cruise and last minute bookings as I changed hotels to stay at Sphinx Palace again near the end of my trip. He will exchange your Euros or US money at the bank for you to get the best rate. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds and linens, no bugs, air conditioning, mini fridge, storage closet, freshly laundered towels and nice Arabic soap. The desk is not monitored, so you have keys for the building, like your own apartment! Sherif is available any time on WhatsApp and responds within minutes. Free breakfast is in the main living room with fresh bread, cream cheese and jam and is served with eggs cooked to order by Abdo. Coffee and tea are available 24/7 to enjoy while gazing at the Pyramids. The location is in a quiet end of the main road that runs in front of the Pyramids. I enjoyed waking up each day to see the camels & horses heading to the Pyramids gate around 8am. The views of the Pyramids, Sphinx and Giza are amazing from your room and the rooftop, where you can watch the nightly

+It is my second stay at Sphinx Guesthouse after 2017. For me, it has the best view to the Sphinx and the Pyramids. Rooms are big with great views. Evening time you can watch the Sound & Light Show for free. I arrived at 3 am and already got my room. Nice food also on the rooftop terrace.

“Reacomodação em outro hostel.”
+Ao fazer o check in, solicitaram aguardar por 30 minutos. Após, conversaram e me acomodou em outro hostel próximo. Fiquei decepcionada pois reservei com o hotel e reacomodaram em outro. Tudo bem que deram suporte para a reacomodação.

+Our room was at the roof top (also where breakfast is served) with the great view of the pyramid. You also get to see the sound and light show from here. Rooms are renovated and breakfast was good. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Duvets have stains and one of the bathrooms has poor drainage. Overall we had a pleasant stay. Will highly recommend especially if you want room with the great view of the pyramid.
