Uncover the Secrets of the Pharaohs: Saray Pyramids Hotel Giza - A Whirlwind Review (and My Honest Feelings!)

Alright, let's be real. Planning a trip to Giza and staring down the literal pyramids? That's bucket-list stuff. And the Saray Pyramids Hotel? Well, it promised to be the launchpad for that adventure. Did it deliver? Let's dive in, shall we? Buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy, hilarious ride.

Accessibility & Safety: A Mixed Bag, Honestly

Okay, first things first: Accessibility. They say they have facilities for disabled guests. I'm not in a wheelchair myself, but I did notice elevators. That's a plus! However, navigating the sprawling grounds could be tricky for anyone with mobility issues. The pathways weren't exactly smooth. I'd call it… cautiously optimistic in this area. CCTV in common areas and outside the property made me feel relatively safe, alongside the 24-hour security. Gotta give them props for that.

Cleanliness? The New Normal (thankfully)

Thank god for the post-pandemic era! The anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays were reassuring. They even had hand sanitizer everywhere. The staff are trained in safety protocol, and it shows. They really seemed to be on top of it. The cashless payment service was a godsend. I’m all about a sanitized kitchen AND tableware, too. I give a huge thumbs up.

Food, Glorious Food (and a Few Hiccups)

Okay, let's talk fuel for pyramid gazing. Breakfast is buffet…and a bit of a zoo. But hey, it's a buffet in Egypt! They had Asian breakfast, Western breakfast, a vegetarian restaurant, and international cuisine, which was all decent. The coffee/tea in the restaurant were standard. The poolside bar was a nice touch for an afternoon drink but getting service was a bit of an adventure. They offered bottle of water and let me order a breakfast in room. I definitely ordered a breakfast takeaway service for the morning of the pyramid exploring. Room service is 24/7 which is a plus.

Now, for the real gem--the desserts in restaurant. Some of the tastiest baklava I have ever tried. I would have given a higher rating for the food if it wasn't so hit or miss. Salad in restaurant options were pretty good and safe.

Pampering Paradise? (Or Just a Hot Shower?)

Ah, the "relax and unwind" section. They tout a spa, sauna, steam room, swimming pool, AND a pool with a view. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, let's just say the view was amazing; the facilities… well, they needed some TLC. However, the Body scrub, and Body wrap sound amazing, if they had the time. The foot bath was a nice touch to relax after a long day. The Fitness center was usable, I guess, but the equipment was… basic. Frankly, after a day of walking around the pyramids, I was more interested in a long hot shower than a treadmill.

The Rooms: Your Pyramid Base Camp

The rooms themselves were generally clean. They have air conditioning (essential), free Wi-Fi, complimentary tea and coffee, a mini-bar, and a safe box. Great! I was glad to see air conditioning in all public areas too. The free bottled water was much appreciated, as was the daily housekeeping. Non-smoking rooms, thankfully. The additional toilet was a nice touch, if the room included it.

Here’s where it got interesting because I got an interconnecting room (the perks of traveling with friends!) They provided towels, but the hairdryer was weak. There was a desk, perfect for my laptop. Ironing facilities were included, and bathrobes. The bathrooms were basic but functional, and the separate shower/bathtub was a luxury, I can't lie. The view, from the higher floors, was spectacular. (They had high floors available, and blackout curtains were a lifesaver for sleeping in).

Services and Conveniences: A Mixed Bag, Again

They offer a concierge, laundry service, dry cleaning, and luggage storage, which is all pretty standard. Currency exchange was handy. The car park [free of charge] was a big win, as was the car park [on-site]. The doorman was friendly. I took advantage of the airport transfer.

Things to Do: Beyond the Pyramids

Well, you're in Giza. Your priority should be the pyramids. But they do have a gift/souvenir shop. They have meetings/banquet facilities and other business things for people.

Techy Stuff - Internet Access (The Eternal Struggle!)

They boast free Wi-Fi in all rooms, which is a must. It was, however, a little patchy at times. Internet access [LAN] was available, too, but I didn't bother. It was good enough to update social media, though.

For the Kids

They are advertised at Family/child friendly. They also have a babysitting service. The Bottom Line: Should You Book?

Yes, but with caveats. The Saray Pyramids Hotel is a solid base camp for exploring Giza. It’s not perfect – far from it – but it’s clean, safe, and the location is unbeatable. It has some rough edges, I am not going to lie.

Here’s my honest take: It's not a luxury resort, but it’s a good, functional hotel that offers a decent experience. The Offer You Can't Refuse!

Saray Pyramids Hotel Giza Egypt

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average, pristine travel itinerary. This is my Saray Pyramids Hotel Giza, Egypt, meltdown… I mean, experience. Prepare for the glorious mess that is me trying to navigate ancient wonders and questionable hotel coffee.

Day 1: Arrival & Pyramids - OH MY GOD, I'M ACTUALLY HERE! (And Possibly Dehydrated)

Morning (Like, way early): Landed in Cairo. Jet lag hit me like a rogue camel. Customs? A blur. My suitcase? MIA for at least three days. The adrenaline surge of finally being here was the only thing keeping me upright. Found the hotel transfer (bless the driver, he knew the way, miraculously).
Saray Pyramids Hotel Check-In (Approx. 9:00 AM Cairo Time): The Saray Pyramids. Okay, the lobby is… grand. Gold accents everywhere. Probably a bit much, but hey, I'm in Egypt! The room? Decent enough. View of the pyramids? Spectacular. Truly breathtaking. I threw my backpack on the bed, took a picture of that pyramid view, and almost cried. Happy tears, that's what.
Pyramid Power! (Approx. 11:00 AM): Giza Plateau. Seriously. The Giza Pyramids. The Great Pyramid. I was so hyped, I almost didn't notice the persistent touts. Almost. I bought a scarf from a kid who probably could have sold me the moon. My heart was pumping. It was HOT. Like, "melting your face off" hot. I somehow managed to make it to the entrance of the Great Pyramid. And it was… an adventure. The air was thick and dusty, the passage narrow. I'm not claustrophobic, but I felt claustrophobic. I think I even heard a guy behind me mutter about needing oxygen after climbing the steps. I'm not sure how, but I made it to the top of the entrance. What a view!

(An Anecdote of Epic Proportions): The Pyramid's Secret Passage That Wasn't

Okay, so there was this "secret passage" the guide was talking about. It was a tight squeeze, and I'm a bit on the… ahem …voluptuous side. I got about halfway in and felt like I was going to suffocate. Not a good look, especially when you're surrounded by ancient stones. I decided to retreat – much to the amusement of the group. I stumbled backward, mortified, but hey, I survived.
Lunch (Approx. 1:00 PM): We went to a restaurant with a wonderful view. I ate wayyyy too much falafel. It was divine, plus the view again. It was really nice, and peaceful, until the persistent vendors. You never, ever let your guard down.
Afternoon: Sphinx & Valley Temple (approx. 3:00 PM): The Sphinx. It's smaller than you think! But imposing. Mysterious. Another photoshoot moment. The Valley Temple was cool, but honestly, after the pyramids, it paled a bit. I was a little overwhelmed at this point so I was hoping I had picked the right amount of water.
Dinner (Approx. 7:00 PM): Decent hotel restaurant, the view was, again, gorgeous. I ate some chicken. My tummy was full. Then I crashed. Hard. Jet lag, heat, pyramids, and falafel… I was done.

Day 2: Cairo Chaos & The Museum of Everything

Morning (Again, Early): The hotel breakfast. Uh…okay. The coffee was questionable, to say the least. I'm a coffee snob, I admit it. I took a sip and almost spat it out. I learned my lesson - stick to the fresh juice.
The Egyptian Museum (approx. 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM): Holy. Moses. That museum is a treasure trove of amazing artifacts. Tutankhamun's gold mask alone is worth the trip. The sheer amount of stuff is overwhelming. You could spend days in there. I had this weird panic attack of "I have to see everything!!" I didn't of course. I'm not sure if it was the artifact overload or the sheer number of tourists, but I kind of had a mild breakdown in front of a sarcophagus.
Lunch (approx. 2:00 PM): Ate at a small cafe across the street. Ate some Koshari, it's the Egyptian national dish! So many flavors! I loved it.
Shopping (or Trying To): Khan el-Khalili Bazaar. Prepare for chaos! Bargaining. I feel kind of uncomfortable, I had to get used to all the attention – and the aggressive sales tactics. I came away with a few souvenirs but mostly a headache.
Back to the Hotel (approx. 5:00 PM): I have so much to take in, so I will need to take a moment to reflect.
Dinner (approx. 7:00 PM): Another hotel dinner. This time, I ordered something different. I should have ordered the chicken.

Day 3: Pyramid (Round 2?) & Departure - Farewell, Egypt, You Crazy, Beautiful Place!

Morning: Another so-so breakfast. The coffee is still trying to kill me. Today, I decide to revisit the pyramids. I'm going solo this time.
Pyramid Panic (approx. 10:00 AM): I made a second trip to Giza. It wasn't as exciting as the first time, and I feel a little burnt out. I realized that this trip is not very glamorous, and I don't care. I was alone.
Lunch (approx. 1:00 PM): This time, I grabbed a snack. Too tired to go.
Afternoon: The hotel. Packing, napping, reflection. I'm missing my cats.
Departure (approx. 5:00 PM): Time to head to the airport. Adios, Egypt. You were a trip! This was a wild ride, full of highs, lows, and questionable coffee. Would I go back? Absolutely. But next time, I'm bringing my own coffee!

This, my friends, is the truth of my Egyptian adventure. Messy, imperfect, and utterly unforgettable. You've been warned!
