Beautiful views to pyramids a bit away from the Cairo Chaos
+ - the hotel is few kilometers away from the crazy busy streets of Giza, so you get the views to pyramid at a close proximity but in a more relaxed, quiet and elegant environment. We checked out hotels near Sphinx entrance and 5** in downtown on the Nile and I would choose Garden Palms as the best value for money (views + comfort + value for money).
- majestic views to gardens, pyramids and the desert
- the restaurant food is simple, but very delicious (fresh juices are a must try)
- breakfast was selected variety of dishes, not buffet, but again - very authentic and delicious
- very welcoming and accommodating staff
- beautiful building inside and out, with mix of modern and traditional interior, pictures are a true representation
- very beautiful little garden
- protection from mosquitos
- very clean comparing to other hotels we stayed at Cairo
- they provide water bottles free of charge every day
− - there is not much around, so don't expect to go anywhere on foot. But they have in house restaurant and busy streets are just few kilometers away (you can easily get taxi/tuktuk from the street, uber is slow to come, hotel can also arrange a transfer but it will be much more expensive).
- the worst part of the hotel is that there is no wifi - no in the lobby or the restaurant (breakfast place) and there is barely any signal in some of the rooms
- I missed bathroom condiments, they had only soap
- We had no view from the room, but it may have been because of the last minute booking
- Nothing in the mini bar (but the same was in 5** hotel as well, plus they don't serve alcohol anyway).
