First of all, the view from the room is amazing. The view from the rooftop is also amazing. We brought our own dinner and enjoyed the light and sound show. The refrigerator is especially noteworthy; it can make ice. It was very popular when we walked around Giza. This is a wonderful hotel.

An amazing location where we were able to wake up to views of the Sphinx and Pyramids each morning! The rooftop terrace was perfect to watch the evening light and sound show. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly, offering great suggestions for local food and souvenirs. Not knowing what to expect in Egypt, we felt very safe in the area, so would highly recommend this to other travelers!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was very small, and the bed sheets had stains. The building had no elevator, and the staircase was extremely narrow and hot, with no one available to help me carry my luggage. The key I was given could not open the main door. At night, the receptionist was asleep, and even ringing the doorbell did not wake anyone. As a result, I was locked outside past midnight for more than half an hour.

Great place for a couple days to see the pyramids and other sights around Giza. I would get a separate hotel for when you want to sight see around Cairo to save a long commute. Overall, good place to stay.

My stay at the Guardian Guest House was outstanding. Each day's breakfast was delicious, the view of the pyramids (both from my room and the rooftop patio) was unbeatable, and the family who runs this property were super kind and accommodating. I will absolutely come and stay again.

Location to destination very accessible. Property location perfect. Nice and friendly front desk staff. All good except the hallway / stairway going up to the hotel rooms and front desk stinks. It smells like old dried fish. Walls needs to be washed and scented I guess. The place location is perfect.

The location is amazing and both of brothers who runs this hotel are simply the best, caring and, they really make you feel like home. They went above and beyond to make me a satisfied customer. The downside is the dog barks early in the am and goes on for hours, a lot of street begging right outside hotel however I felt safe. Restaurants and markets very close to the hotel. I would definitely recommend.

The hotel staffs are very nice & accommodating. The view from the roof top is excellent & the breakfast is decent. However this area is very noisy. We heard people talking/yelling in the street & lots of dogs barking all night, which made it very hard for us to sleep. Due to its proximity to the pyramids, it’s a good hotel for a 1 or 2 nights stay. Btw, the Pyramid restaurant close to the hotel has excellent foods. Their grilled lamb chop is excellent
