"My stay here at this hotel was great! The staff were very helpful and friendly during our stay here. The transportation manager was very nice and friendly as well and helped us out each day making arrangements for ride and even sailing. Abdul was extremely helpful and made our visit simple and easy. I will definitely be coming back."
"Hotel is located by the boat piers and centrally located. Friendly staff and quick checking. Larger antrum and beautiful pool area overlooking the Nile river. We ate at the Lebanese restaurant and had a delicious Kofka.
Room & beds were comfortable & clean. Nice shops around the interior of the hotel. "
"The staff was friendly and very helpful. They made sure that my needs were met. They helped take a lot of stress off by arranging the taxi from and to the airport. The views from the hotel are incredible. You can see Luxor temple and the Nile river as well as the valley of the kings off in the distance. You can also see the sunrise from the top floor. It was unreal every time I went to my balcony. If you walk out of the front door and immediately turn left and walk like youre going behind the hotel the bazaar is directly next behind it. Theres also an incredible restaurant right behind the hotel too (you do gotta battle the bazaar though) the food is a little more costly but it was some of the freshest food I had in Luxor. I’ll leave a picture of it."
"Great stay! Special shout out to manager Hisham, front office Wahid, guest relations Nardine, concierge chief Hani and concierge relations Clara.
Felt the need to mention their names because they go above and beyond to facilitate a good stay.
Definitely recommend this hotel 🙏

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere felt very safe and friendly for a solo woman traveller. The pool was clean and the pool area very good, although there were times it was difficult to find a sunbed.
If I ever return to Luxor, I would definitely stay here again."
"Lovely clean hotel with great facilities and views across the Nile. Breakfast had a nice choice of pastries, pancakes and omelette, cereal and hot breakfast and meats and cheeses. Alcoholic drinks and food were quite expensive but weren't good quality and plenty to choose from."
"The best hotel we stayed at during our Cairo-Aswan-Luxor trip. Very friendly staff, great facilities, tidy rooms and beautiful river front area to relax after a day of exploring.
Great buffet for people though limited options for vegans, with poor dietary restriction notices on the food, though belatedly having spoken to the chef he said he would’ve made us something special during our stay had we made it know (so better to do that personally than rely on the waiting staff to make your plight known!)"
"We suffered from reliance on Expedia’s over-rating; more a rustic camp than hotel; easy walks to both Luxor and Konark Temples and restaurants along the Nile Promenade (Kornish Al Nile). Very friendly, polite, helpful staff but poor management. "
