Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Downtown Cairo, Bab Al Louq

Unbeatable location to visit the pyramids of Giza and its surroundings. The room was bigger and more comfortable than I expected and the price/benefit ratio was satisfactory. Giza is dirty, but the hotel is above average in the area as much cleaning. Very good service, people are very friendly, communication was good from the start. If you are traveling from Latin America I recommend accepting the assistance for the transfer to and from the airport. Consider that on the street all the signs are in Arabic and that the city is chaotic. Before the trip I found the tours offered to me at the hotel a little expensive; but upon arrival we decided to hire them because they were totally private with very friendly Spanish guides and they were a great help to make the best use of the stay and enjoy the full experience. The Tour in the pyramids included in addition to what they offered, very fun photographs of the whole tour and a good meal. The view of the pyramids and the sphinx from the room is amazing at all hours and hard to improve. Same as the view from the cafe on top. At night we were able to enjoy the light and sound show at no cost, from the hotel terrace, enjoying good food and drinks.

We took a tour of the Bayt Yakan with Alaa, the owner and architect, and it was beautiful and amazing the work that he and his wife Ola have done to restore the house and also to strengthen the cohesiveness of the neighborhood. There was a very joyous new baby party in the courtyard of local people one night of our stay. To really take advantage of your stay, best to spend most of your time in the outside patio areas or courtyard areas (where you will be surrounded by two cats 😀). Or, spend time in the library, especially if you prefer reliable internet. The apartment was quiet for sleep, and we slept well. The food cooked for breakfast is very good. The same women cooks will make lunch or dinner also, and it is delicious.

A very nice place and close to the Pyramids

Ms Nadia is a very kind person who always gives you help. I enjoyed her company a lot! There is a little supermarket downstairs, and a lovely sandwich shop, organic shop, bakery, and restaurants are nearby/within walking distance. Safe district. I will love to come back if I get a chance. Thank you !

Hadeel is very sweet, she prepared a complementary welcome lunch that was very delicious, the apartment is spotless clean, my conference had after-event-activities tomorrow that I didn't consider, so I booked a new reservation at Hadeel's home

The most beautiful, unique, homely space. Truly a fantastic experience. The location is second to none. Superb facilities. Excellent communication. Outstanding in every way. We didn’t want to leave

The ideal place to wake up in the morning admiring the pyramids and the Giza sphinx, at nights it is the perfect place to watch the light show on them. The service is excellent, very good predisposition for everything. I had a great time and would definitely choose it again.

A perfect spot to stay in Cairo. The neighborhood is central, quiet but lively. Perfect for going out to dinner in the evening, it's easy to walk around. The apartment is cozy, well decorated. And above all, Martine's welcome is at its best: we received lots of good tips for visits, restaurants etc. I will happily return if I come back to Cairo!

Dawood has been an excellent host, worried at all times that everything was fine, I coordinate our airport pickup and have permanent contact with us. The view from the amazing room even better than the photos, so the notice is 100% with the reality of what we have booked. As for the location about a 3-5 minute walk from the entrance down the Sphinx. The rooftop, where breakfast is served, allows you to observe the 3 pyramids perfectly, which adds even more to this stay. Finally a recognition to the Lobby guys who were very attentive during our stay. Recommended!
