This hotel was surprisingly delightful.  I had emailed them ahead of time and all my requests were graciously approved!  We arrived late and we were welcomed by Aly Mohamed and he was very polite and welcoming.  The front area of hotel is stunning and full of fine marble and woodwork!  They took our luggage and took it to our room which was right off the pool like we requested.  Beautiful historic decor.  Comfort and style.  Our stay included breakfast which consisted of traditional and international.  It was extremely delicious and such a great variety.  Fresh and tasty!  I loved the Ful!  The restaurant staff were amazing and treated us like royalty.  Beautiful ambiance and we ate supper there twice as well.  No complaints at all.  The price was was unbelievable affordable!

Also the location is in Giza close to the busiest street where you can walk, shop, eat, drink fresh juice and amazing coffees!  The people of Egypt are amazing, friendly and kind!  

Thank you to Almed Ehab - duty manager
And Mohamed Elsayed who ensured everything was perfect for everyone 

We will return 

Amarante Affordable and Fantastic 

Nice and quiet hotel to stay in, amazing staff especially Mai, The hotel is clean , has a great atmosphere,AC working great, and definitely I'll repeat my stay there very soon.
Thanks a lot for your efforts

The room was very beautiful. The hotel is situated in old buildings andhas old furniture but thats whats giving it its special spirit.
The pool is avarage size-not big, not small and the deep is around 165cm. The water needs to be cleaned. But its very good for kids and also for adults. In the night there were swimming courses for kids from outside the hotel, which made the garden area very crowded and noisy.
Our big thanks belongs to Mai from reception. She was very proffesional, helpfull and made our stay comfortable.

Nice stay

Hotel is a little dated but still has its international western standards. Price doesn't exceed $40 to $45 per night. Hotel is in a crowded area of Faisal St in Giza but once you enter its premises you are in a different quite and peaceful world. There staff are respectful and polite.

Great stay at a reasonable price

Friendly services. Some parts of the hotel were good.  Some certainly need repairs. Very old fashioned rickety lift. No hot water especially in the mornings. Breakfast was good. Good location. Good amenities nearby. East to visit Ghaza pyramids. WiFi was hopeless.

Egypt visit

A 4-star hotel in Gaza, which corresponds to 2 according to European standards... The rooms and terraces are large, with old furniture, everything in the bathroom is about to fall apart... There is a large outdoor pool and restaurant, friendly staff, the biggest drawback  is the breeding of hundreds of pigeons in the courtyard of the hotel, which bathe in the pool in the morning, fly and dirty everywhere, it is neither pleasant / nor hygienic and therefore I would not recommend the hotel!

1 night in Cairo 

Staying for business trip in Cairo and reside  in this hotel for long time.

It's a historical hotel located the house of one famus actor in Egypt.

It's kind of old but  quiet to stay; enjoy the food.

Especially thanks for Mohammed from house-keeping manager and Hoda of house-keeping girl who clean well and carefully and two nice person to meet also.

Good experience in the Amarante Pyramids hotel

Amarante Pyramid Hotel - Giza EGYPT

Why I would never willingly stay in this hotel again.

1.  The restaurant.

We and another couple from our our group decided to dine in the hotel restaurant on the night of our arrival.  Apart from our table of four, there was one other group already seated and they had ordered.

After making our selections, there was a very long delay - probably 20 minutes - before someone came to actually take our order.  After that process (which took a while due to language difficulties) we figured meals would be along in due course.  NO, on THREE subsequent well-spaced occasions staff attended and double-checked what we had ordered.  (Were they late-night-shopping for ingredients?).  Eventually our meals came, not entirely matching our orders OR the menu descriptions.  Nevertheless we consumed them.

Getting the bill was another problem.  It took several iterations and delays (each time "ten minutes ...") before it eventually arrived, probably 30 minutes after requesting it.  All throughout there were four or five staff visible near the bar area doing nothing. I would hate to dine here on a busy night.

2.  Location.

There were no nearby eating establishments (Western or otherwise) to provide an alternative to the hotel's restaurant.  That is NEVER a good thing in a city.  Beyond the ATM on the front of the hotel, there were no nearby banking facilities (or frankly anything of much use to a visitor/tourist).

3.  The included buffet breakfast facility.

Products would run out and there would be no staff around to request replenishment.  Then you'd discover the next item was out and have to repeat the process.  The actual time required to complete breakfast was probably double what it would have been if properly resourced.  Given that we were "on the road" all day, it was an important meal to get right.

4.  The wifi.

Trip-a-deal offer this hotel as having wifi.  Well, it does - but although you can generally connect to their network, getting actual internet access is another story.  On the second night it didn't work, not just for us (across four devices) but also for others in our group.  At the end of the third day touring, we returned to find the same - no internet connectivity.

Reception staff seemed surprised/puzzled, tried their own cellphones as well as the tablet of one of our group.  No joy, so they reputedly requested their network support attend.  Wait and see time, but it's not looking good.

Update:  nope, an hour later and still no wifi.  Can connect to various access points but no internet.  Took one iPhone and a ThinkPad to reception.  They tried on both without success, using both our current and fresh login credentials. After about 15 minutes of that I simply gave up.

5.  Airconditioning.

The room aircon had a wall thermostat, but the system totally ignored it.  It DID respond to the ON-OFF switch, but ON was freezing and OFF became to warm and stuffy, so sleeping was not the restful experience that travellers require.  In-group discussion revealed that the issue wasn't just our room, it was hotel-wide.

6.  Hotel general condition.

The complex looks like it hasn't seen any proper maintenance in literally decades.  Roof has openings in the tiles with hordes of pigeons accessing the roof void to roost.  Renovations appear long on-hold (D wing), whole place is dusty, pool closes at 6pm, ...

Update-update:  Our itinerary had us back here for one night before departing Egypt.  Nothing had changed, we could still connect to their network but STILL NO INTERNET.

Would I stay here again?  NO!

Stayed here for 4 nights. This place looks good in the photos but in reality is nothing like photos. Hotel is in bad need of maintance, rooms were poorly cleaned, carpets dirty, balconies covered in bird poo, Safe didn't work, reported it but was not attended to while we were there. Also the last 2 days the lifts didn't work & we had to carry cases up 4 flights of dirty stairs with no help from staff. The pool looks inviting but can only be used between 9am & 4pm when most people are out on tours, but then you see flocks of Pigeons in it & you wouldn't swim in it anyway. They advertise wifi free but it is hard to get so had no internet for most days there. Very disappointed in this hotel

Looks good BUT

The facilities ,breakfast and the rooms itself are amazing. Unfortunately everything is hard to sort out. Not all the staff speaks good English . Everytime they over charge a little bit, or have the wrong change, or charge extra I'm the "euro" card machine even though I wanted to pay in Egyptian pounds but the card machine for this currency was broken. One night we wanted to pay by card for the dinner we had at the restaurant.  We had to pay at the reception, no problem. After a long time trying to pay the check (and we did over paid) they wanted to charge that again on the check out day. They treated as in a extremely rude way even though they were wrong and they were trying to overcharge again. The place itself is good.. just the service was horrible, unfortunately.  I need to be fair to my readers.
P.s. if you book in advance throughout some app , just make sure you're picking the tourist option. Cuz my friend booked as if we were Egyptians by mistake and it was a hard one to solve. We did sort out though.
