Pyramid Edge Hotel & Exclusive Pyramids View Rooftop in Cairo

First time in Egypt and we stayed in room 503 the Executive Suite Panoramic Pyramids View & Jacuzzi. I have done a more detailed review on Trip adviser.
We stayed here for a week at the beginning of Oct 2025. I've given it 3 stars because there seemed to be more cons than pros.
Pros
- The hotel was pretty clean
- If you were going to stay here, book this room.
- The room seemed to be the one furthest away from the outside noise
- This hotel seemed to be one of the best ones around the area when it comes to noise and location.
- The staff were fine and always provided us with extra toiletries if needed.
- I gave the room an overall 4 star only because of how bad the outside was and this was the only place you could feel relaxed.
- Location is 2 stars just because of how close it is to the pyramids, but the outside wasn't good.
- I gave the service 4 stars (would have been 3), but the receptionist at the time of check in did take our suitcases up 1 flight of stairs as the lift only goes up to the 4th floor.

Cons
- The room isn't very private. If you're a woman, bring a little top/bikini set, or just close the curtains (but that defeats the object of having the view). Men should be OK but maybe a pair of shorts?. The hotel across the view is really close so make sure you're ok with people potentially looking at you.
- The shower has a massive open window, so if you're on the toilet or taking a shower, everyone can see you, so bear that in mind.
- Not all the pictures advertised on the website are true. Most of them are, but i noticed the bath tub for room 503 is a double jacuzzi when it's not. The rest seem to be correct.
- The breakfast was very poor & minimal. You don't get a choice of anything, just what you are given and we found the food to be dry like it's been left out. Save on a few pennies and don't book the breakfast and bring your own food over. We were lucky that we brought breakfast bars with us, otherwise we'd be without food (especially due to the lack of shops for decent food isn't around).
- We didn't go for dinner here due to the above point and also we saw/heard a lot of rats, so it was a little off putting, because where we heard them running around, it was close to where they get the food from.
- As you're on the top floor, the rats (like other reviews have mentioned) do run across the ceiling.
- Again, as other reviews mention, the umbrellas on the opposite side of the hotel when looking out at the view just spoil it.
- There was one night where someone tried to get into our room, so we were a bit wary about that. The hotel isn't fully locked so anyone could get into reception, go up the stairs/lift and try any room. There isn't always someone at the front desk monitoring it all. So make sure you lock your room at all times.
- The bath/jacuzzi took a long time to fill so bear that in mind.
- Wifi kept dropping which was annoying as, due to the location of the hotel, we didn't want to leave so had to stay in.
- Minor but there wasn't a lot of plug points so either bring an extension cable or multi plug.

The Pyramid Edge Hotel is alright and I enjoyed it. The fridge and air conditioner doesn't work and unfortunately I couldn't sleep 😴 because of the heat. The power keeps cutting off during the night so we couldn't use the air conditioner. The rooms are nice and tidy. During dinner 🍽️😋, I had to wait for hours for food because the services are slow as a snail 🐌.

Rooms are huge, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of towels and nice hot water. There is a smart TV but no one seems to know how to work them. Solid 3 star hotel. Best part is the view from the rooftop. Breakfast is complimentary and filling, although not spectacular. With the Ful being an exception. Their Ful and flat bread is quite tasty but it never changes which is not ideal after a day or two. If you score a good deal this place is satisfactory.
