We were here October 20-27, 2025 (“king” room with balcony $338/week, more info). On our first visit we stayed in the 5-star Marriott Mena House, on our packaged tour, but couldn’t bring ourselves to shell out the $650 per night to stay there again. Instead, we found this little Inn for less than $50 per night. Good AC. It’s funky and affordable. Management and staff were very helpful and friendly. Nice rooftop “restaurant” where a simple breakfast (included) is served. Rustic but comfortable. Upclose, amazing views of the pyramids from rooms and rooftop!

The building houses separately run hotel operations on different floors. So, the floor below Flower Pyramids is a different hotel! That’s the first time we’ve ever seen that! See pics from the accommodation below.
