Marvel Stone Hotel, กิซ่า

Every staff was very friendly and kind. The reason why I chose this hotel was to enjoy pyramids in the room through the window, but family room did not have pyramid view.

This hotel is a nightmare. It’s located in a very poor, dirty, and unsafe district. The houses in front of the hotel are in horrible condition and looks scary. Our room is next to the elevator. When we checked in, I asked if noise will be an issue. The font desk man said no. That was a lie. Every 5-10 minutes it was like a train crossing our room. But they refused to change us to a quieter room. The towels smell like camel, and we found grass in them. We had to shower quickly otherwise we would be left with cold water. The air conditioning did not work, so the room was cold at night. The pyramids are certainly fascinating. If you want all good memories for your Egypt trip, don’t book this hotel.

We paid extra for the pyramid view, but the photos they represent on hotels.com is not the room you will get. The "pyramid" view we got was more like "other old crumbly buildings and antennas and junk" view. The room was also cold. Their heating did not work. Staying in the desert in the middle of the winter can get cold at nights, even though its hot during the day. Other than that everything else was great with this hotel. Amazing and friendly staff, up to date rooms and pleasant stay. The restaurant upstairs is very nice and the food is amazing. We really loved Ahmed in the restaurant, very pleasant experience. Be careful of the con men outside. When they see you, they do not see humans, they see dollar signs. Unfortunately seeing the amazing pyramids can be stained by the pathetic con artists all around giza, and especially inside the pyramid grounds. They will try to sell you things, they will con you, they will take your pictures and ask for extreme amounts of money. We had a guy just put me on a camel without my consent and wouldnt let me get off until we paid him $30, although he claimed that Americans usually give him $500 for a camel ride. These people are all over the place like roaches and unfortunately Egypt, and the Egyptian police do not care one bit I would take a trip to another country instead of Egypt if I had to do it again because of the lowlife Egyptians. If you're going, stay one or two nights to see pyramids and get out of there

Apparently no one has heard of this hotel or knows where it is so it took ages at the airport for them to direct the taxi. Then when we got closer the taxi driver still couldn’t find it even after lots of swearing, beeping and asking people so he dropped us round the corner and we had to walk there ourselves and then was shouting and screaming that he didn’t get a tip when he didn’t even get us to the hotel. Due to all the camels and horses servicing the pyramids there was lots of poo on the floor and flys around. When we got to the hotel we were a bit earlier so we went to the rooftop to get a drink whilst we waited which was beautiful I have to say, unfortunately it only got worse from here. When we got in the room they had given us a twin room even though we had requested a double room which doesn’t make as a good start to a romantic trip and then the window was so high up you couldn’t see out of it. We swear we booked a pyramid room but they claim we didn’t but the hotels.com website is pretty misleading and the photo next to our booking was of the pyramid room. The worst bit was when we went to use the bathroom and it stank of raw sewage. Apparently it couldn’t be fixed that day and double rooms couldn’t be promised and they had no other rooms. We refused to stay there and they let us stay as a nearby hotel which was a big improvement. Overall apart from the rooftop view it was a complete disaster but they did

Very nice hotel right next to the Giza pyramids. Remember to ask for a room with the view. The rooftop restaurant is a plus you can enjoy having breakfast/dinner with the open view of the pyramids. Staffs were very helpful and nice. Very accommodating! Highly recommend! Our family had a great time staying at this hotel.

Good place for the price Located close to the price

Wow! Where do I begin? Just left this gorgeous boutique hotel in the heart of Giza and I still can’t believe I woke up to the view of the pyramids every morning! Staff were very helpful and one person, in particular, went above-and-beyond to provide quality customer service. Though all of the staff were helpful and friendly, Ferris made sure my friend and I were taken care of. If you’re looking for a place that provides you with the comfort of home away from home, this is the place. The only problem, which was very small, was that the WiFi was pretty slow. It’s ok though because the staff and the unique area surrounding the hotel kept us pretty entertained. I can’t wait to return! I’m so happy we ditched the fancy hotels in Cairo and decided to stay at Marvel Stone! Special thanks to Ferris and the Marvel Stone staff!

Nice hotel with the pyramid view and able to see the sand & light show from the hotel .. feel safe as we are in the protected area and the breakfast was yummy. We even have a special arrangements for take away breakfast as we need to leave early for our day trip.

CAUTION when booking! One reviewer said he/she never got to stay at the hotel because something was wrong with the plumbing. We also did not get to stay at hotel because the hotel said it was forced to close an entire floor. We arrived at 9 pm at night, and had no other choice but to stay at the hotel they took us to, which was POOR quality compared to the Marvel photos. Another person arriving at the same time we did was also taken to the alternate hotel. I would have tried to make a reservation at an alternate, nicer hotel, but I was unable to get internet access. It was late at night and I was exhausted from traveling. Two days later, we were up at 5 am for a tour and noticed a large group of individuals checking into our hotel because Marvel could not accommodate them. If you book here, be prepared with a backup choice of where you would like to stay in the event they are unable to accommodate you.
