Which hotel is better?
 
Dear Fodorites,

Which one is better, Le meridian pyramids or Sofitel Le sphinx?

Thank you

Le Meridian every time.

We stayed at Le Meridien Pyramids last summer. I don't know anything aout the Sofitel, but LMP was very nice. We had a big room (triple), the common areas and pool are lovely, very good breakfast, nice cafe/bakery in the lobby. I would give it 4* by American hotel rating standards, akin to an modern urban Marriott.

Thank you Casual-cairo. The search for thier pyramid view room cmoes with a $130 /night price. Is that too high? Is there anyway to save more?

You could stay at Slimey Saids Pyramid Paradise. There are a few like that around, but they are pretty icky. $130 a night sounds like a bargain if you really get the pyramid view room. Some have balconies. Some just have windows. If that is for a balcony and you want to look at pyramids when you wake up, I guess it's a good deal.
Keep in mind that 80% of the mornings here it is so hazy you can't see the pyramids from very close. Don't just stay one night and hope you'll be luck with a clear morning.
Good luck.
