Kota Miyamoto

I don't recommend this hotel at all. First of all, the hotel name is wrong. I arrived by taxi in the middle of the night, but the hotel name was different and I was worried because I wasn't sure if this was really the place. If you choose a low-grade room, you will be guided to a nearby hotel on foot. They will take your luggage without your permission and ask for a tip. After checking in, you will have to wait more than 20 minutes for your room to be prepared. This hotel seems to have five chains in the neighborhood, but on the second night, they suddenly knocked on my room and said, "We accidentally double-booked you. We are very busy at this time of year, so we apologize. Please pack your luggage and come to the lobby in 10 minutes. We will show you to another room nearby. It's right there, so it's fine." At 9pm. Don't be ridiculous. I firmly told them in English that this was all their fault, but they didn't give me any guarantee. They just kept repeating "No Problem". "I have a problem!!" What the hell! The room I was guided to was a hotel in the same area, about a five-minute walk away, but the twin room was changed to a double room and the room was about half the size. On top of that, the shower was broken and only water came out. Of course, there was no additional service. The plan was to leave our luggage at the hotel and go sightseeing the next day, but the hotel was completely unreliable and had no regrets, so we ended up going sightseeing with our luggage. The pyramid entrance is right in front of us, so access to it is easy, but the area around the hotel is a road used by horse-drawn carriages and camels, and it's smelly with animal feces, and every 10 steps there are touts that follow you around, so it's not relaxing. It was a good lesson. You should stay at least 4 stars or more in Egypt. This may sound like an exaggeration, but it's the truth. I recommend it to backpackers with a challenging spirit. I went with my daughter, so I thought I made a mistake. The pyramid view from the rooftop terrace was nice, though.
