We stayed in a 2-bed room, so I can’t even call this place a hostel. I mean, it has all the benefits of a hotel, while still being a hostel with a community you can mingle with. The room was cozy and nice, with a fantastic view from the balcony. Besides, even if you're staying in a different room, you can still visit the shared rooftop terrace. It’s spacious, and the view from there is even better. Breakfasts were great, and the shared toilets were clean. The cherry on top was the people who work there - modern Egyptians. Big shoutout to Mostafa and Abdelrahman! They truly made our trip.

Felt like a home away from home thanks to the staff. Big smiles and genuinely caring and curious and friendly. Beds were comfortable and rooms were cosy and spacious. Wifi was good (good as can be expected in Egypt). Enjoyed the breakfasts, tasty variety. Easy to find, has an elevator to it, is close to the metro. Thanks Cecilia hotel :) We booked here because the reviews were all good (especially compared to other places in downtown Cairo), and it even exceeded our expectations!

All people working on this property were truly kind, helpful and pleasant to talk with. Specifically Ali is a great person and wish him the best!

Our stay at DAR Pyramids View Inn - Rooftop was truly unforgettable! My sister and I traveled to Egypt with high expectations, and this place exceeded them in every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff welcomed us with such warmth that we immediately felt at home. They treated us like family, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The View – Absolutely Breathtaking Nothing could have prepared us for the stunning rooftop terrace. We’ve seen pictures, but standing there in person, watching the Pyramids of Giza right in front of us, was surreal. Every morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast while gazing at these ancient wonders, and at night, we watched the light show right from the rooftop. It felt like a dream! Comfort & Cleanliness The rooms were spotless and so comfortable. The beds were soft, and after long days of exploring Cairo and Giza, it was a relief to return to such a cozy space. Our room had a view of the pyramids, which made waking up every morning even more magical. The bathroom was super clean, and everything felt modern and well-maintained. Incredible Hospitality The best part of our stay was the people. The staff and management at DAR Pyramids View Inn are some of the kindest people we’ve ever met. They went out of their way to arrange tours, recommend places to eat, and even help us with transportation. It’s rare to find this level of care and attention in a hotel, and we were truly grateful for it. A Stay We’ll Never Forget Leaving was the hardest part. DAR Pyramids View Inn felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return. If you’re visiting Egypt, don’t think twice—stay here! It’s a place that makes you feel like family while giving you one of the most incredible views in the world. Thank you to everyone at DAR Pyramids View Inn for making our trip so special. We’ll cherish these memories forever!

Very good location and safe lifts. The entrance to the hotel is clean and welcoming. I came early and they gave us an early checking-in because of it. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable and big. The area was good and the rooms were sound-proof. Ac units worked well and wifi was also stable. The breakfast was very nice, and when we requested an omelette, extra bread and tea they provided us with them. Very safe location with lots of cheap food stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

The best hostel in Cairo, a clean and comfortable place with a wonderful staff that supports and guides you in everything you need, with a beautiful terrace and a very delicious breakfast. A few steps from Tarhir Square, the Egyptian museum, the metro to the Coptic neighborhood is three blocks away. We felt very comfortable in the hostel as women. Sara and Ola love you.

The dormitory was very comfortable and clean, and the bathroom included. Breakfast was delicious. The staff were amazing, extremely helpful with tips about the local area (where to eat, and pit fall to look out for, ect.). The hostel also organised tours that were really good, and at a good price.

Very good location in the center of Cairo. 10 minutes walking to the Egyptian Museum and surrounded by restaurants and shopping. Safe neighborhood. The service was excellent, very kind people!! Nice breakfast. The building is a little bit old in the outside, but the hostel rooms are very nice and comfortable.

The hostel is conveniently located in the city center of Cairo. There are restaurants and hidden cafes nearby which made it appealing for me. My small private room was cute with a comfortable bed, AC, bathroom and perfect for a night stay. In addition, the hostel offers dormitory rooms for solo travelers. I felt very safe when walking in the area alone. The staff was friendly, kind, and helpful. Thank you for letting me use the washer.
