away from the centre so nice and quiet. had a club class room with great balcony and views across the nile. staff very helpful, pool could do with some work but kept very clean, food on site good
A real treasure away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Luxor. Top quality service from the staff, very freindly. Clean rooms, lovely pool, great food. The hotel have a bus that heads in and out of Luxor every 1 hr, or could have been every 30mins. Anyway it's great to go in and experience how people live in Luxor, all the haggling in the streets for souvineers, and of course there are the Ancient Egyptian Temples to explore.
They even have a few shops on the ground floor of the hotel which was great to browse around. And if you feel unwell which can happen in Egypt, upset tummys etc. They get a doctor for you very quickly and look after you well.
We had a fabulous time! We were pampered from top to bottom. I am feeling very relaxed. Excellent massages and saunas – a herbal one, a salted one and the laconium, all new and good standard. I recommend everyone to go here. The spa is opened while we were there so must have been there first customers I think. Very good. Thank you everyone at the resort!
Pool sitting on the river. It was quiet and away from the busy part of town. Beautiful views and all brand new. Infinity level views of The Valley of Kings. So beautiful. Outdoor massage .
We stayed at Hilton Luxor ! Nice hotel but I wouldn't even dream of staying here if I travel on my own. Anyway, the hotel is very near to Karnak Temple, we walked there or you guys could take the horse carriage. I couldn't smoke in the room so Pat chased me out on the balcony ! So I puffed away seeing the pool where people doing some distorted exercises... One night, there's a blackout ! Power failure... It was funny staying in a 5 star hotel experiencing something like that but we were just going to sleep anyway for Theban Necropolis the following day !Please click on the links...
I stayed here for a week last (05) and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. The staff are all really friendly. Anyone staying here should call in to the gift shop on the balcony, even if only for a chat. One of the lads that works there, Kaleb, is really sound. He's very helpful. He also works in the museum at the Karnak temple so he knows all the good places to go. He'll be able to give you plenty of tips and was always more than happy to answer any of our questions whenever we called in to him. He has some lovely stuff in his shop as well. Unlike some of the shops in the town you're guaranteed good quality and you never feel pressured to buy something (Ahmeds silver shop next door is worth a look too). I'd also recommend booking yourself on a hot air balloon (Theres a booking desk just inside the hotel lobby). After all, how many times do you get to go on a hot air balloon at sunrise over the valley of the kings? Its definitely worth it. The chinese restaurant is really nice too. Oh, and if you get the chance, go on a day trip to Cairo/Giza. We went on one organised by Budget Travel. It was a bit pricey, but definitely worth it in the end.
Great location, walking distance from Karnak Temple, and there is never a shortage of taxis outside the gate who are only too happy to bring you wherever you want to go :o) There is a great view across the nile as well. The views from the balconies in some rooms aren't great if you're unlucky enough to get one on the wrong side of the hotel.
I was here for a week in Nov 1997. The hotel was good and the staff were friendly. The pool are is nicely set out and the terrace overlooking it is great for watching the sunsets over the Nile. In the evening they serve great Crepes here. The rooms were recently done up at the time I was there and they were clean, good size and comfortable. There was only a small gym in the hotel but that may have changed since 97. There were 2 good restaurants and other facilities such as a pool table etc. It was a little bit out from the main centre of Luxor but it is only a short taxi ride.
As I was ther ein 1997 things may have changed and the hotel may bhave developed since that time so it is probably worht checking more recent reviews. I would recommend it based on my time there and if I was going to Luxor again would definitely look it up as part of planning my trip.
The terrace area at sunset was great especially those crepes ..yum ! ANother interesting feature was that at dusk the sparrows used to roost in large numers in the trees just below the terrace and hawks used to circle overhead and make an occasional dive to try and nab a stray sparrow ! They weren't even safe at night...one night we were having a beer on the terrace and a white Barn Owl swooped from no where an nabbed a sparrow. Although you have to feel sorry for the sparrows its all part of survivial and it was like being the middle of your own Richard Attenborough documentary !
