Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely wonderful! Lush greenery right beneath the pyramids—the ambiance, service, security, dining, gym, room service... everything was excellent. The hotel can arrange transportation to the pyramids, and after breakfast, you walk straight into a direct view of the Great Pyramid of Giza, going against the flow of the crowds entering from the main gate. This was fantastic for the hot weather! The hotel's rich history goes without saying; the palace where the Cairo Conference was held is currently undergoing renovations, but you can see the exterior. The staff are highly professional, incredibly warm, and attentive when answering questions. We even stumbled upon a beautiful wedding! Everything was just superb! The pyramids are definitely worth seeing, but the Marriott Mena House, with its pyramid views, is even more worth the visit.
- Hey-trip
The environment here is absolutely stunning, right by the pyramids! Dining at 139 with that pyramid view was incredibly worth it (definitely book in advance). The pool is also quite large.
Facilities: It's a standard five-star hotel, a bit older but that's common in many places abroad.
Service: They offer a fantastic shuttle service, dropping you off at the north gate of the pyramids in the morning and picking you up with a phone call when you're done. Super convenient and saves you the hassle of finding a taxi.
Just for the scenic restaurant and the pyramid shuttle service alone, it's an incredible value!
