Terrible customer service, rooms not ready on arrival, construction at night, forgotten luggage. No care for customers.
Pros:

Location is excellent

Cons:

We booked expensive river front rooms and when we arrived, neither were ready. We have small children and were waiting 40mins after checkin time of 2pm, before they had one room ready. Nobody greeted us on arrival. Nobody offered us welcome drinks. There was heavy construction going on directly above our room and they were drilling still until 8pm. We called twice to complain. They continued. We then woke up again at 10pm again with sawing and my husband went in his pyjamas to stop them. This morning we had an early checkout and we called to ask for our luggage to be brought down. Half an hour later they still didn’t bother so we had to rush back to our rooms to fetch it ourselves. I’ve had much better service at 3* hotels in Egypt honestly. The internal doors were full of dust due to construction. We were all sneezing and coughing as the room was covered in dust by ongoing drilling.

Beautiful Nile views, but disgraceful reception service and serious guest privacy concerns.
Pros:

The Nile view was beautiful, and the hotel facilities were generally good. Marina, the waitress in the breakfast restaurant, was exceptionally kind and attentive. We appreciated her hospitality and gladly left her a tip. Unfortunately, breakfast itself was rather average for a five-star hotel.

Cons:

Extremely disappointing and unprofessional reception staff. Upon arrival, a receptionist rudely tossed the room key toward my partner, making us feel unwelcome.

Later, Maive, another receptionist, refused my request for a paid late checkout, claiming the hotel was fully booked, despite rooms being advertised on Booking.com. Only after I complained did another employee offer us a room. We had already rushed to pack, causing a family member to leave a jacket behind.

Most seriously, AFTER CHECKOUT, Maive contacted my private WhatsApp number without my permission, sending unsolicited apologies. How did she obtain my personal information? Was it taken from confidential hotel records?

I have screenshots proving this contact. This raises serious concerns under Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law No. 151/2020. I expect Sonesta management to investigate.

Five-star facilities mean nothing without respect, professionalism and guest privacy. Deeply unacceptable.

Wonderful experience staying at a classic hotel in Luxor.
Pros:

The staff were very attentive and kind and the newly renovated suite was amazing. The breakfast was excellent value for money and so delicious. The Nile view overlooking the Valley of Kings was incredible.

Cons:

The construction made it impossible to use the pool area due to so much noise.

Pros:

이집트 내 호텔과 비교했을 때는 깔끔하고 좋은 편이았어요

Cons:

주변 환경이 별로 좋지 않았어요
호텔에 요청해서 택시를 불렀는데
차도 더럽고 나중에 돈도 더 요구하는 사기꾼 차를 불러주더라구요
요금도 우버 4배였어요
차라리 우버 사기꾼 차를 이용했으면 더 좋았을 것 같네요

Pros:

La chambre est vraiment propre.
La nuit on dort très bien, pas de bruit.

Le service en général est top. A l'accueil, Madame Nardine est vraiment gentille et incroyable. Très professionnel

La piscine est bien, très bon service pour cette partie.

La femme de ménage était adorable.

Cons:

Le premier jour, il y avait beaucoup de travaux extérieur donc beaucoup de bruit. Ainsi qu'il y avait des travaux en journée, je pense à l'étage supérieur de ma chambre car il y avait du bruit.

Dommage que le restaurant Egyptien n'était pas ouvert pour le midi.
