Not so value for money
Pros:

The location was great. It was next to the ferry line that connects you to Luxor's east bank. Near the hotel there are restaurants to choose from. The touring guides organized by the hotel to the archaeology sites where good. The rooms in front of the property have a good view of you like to hang out in your balcony. The hotel had a private pool.

Cons:

The hotel is 2 stars at most. The window frames are old and thin so expect noise from the road. The rooms in front of the property are noisy until 00.00 due to the multitude of motorcycles constantly revving. The breakfast meets the bare minimum and it's the same each day. The cleaning of the propertie's common facilities is mediocre at it's best. The restaurant on top is not good so go somewhere else to eat.

Top Hotel auf der Westseite, gerne wieder! Super Preis/Leistungsverhältnis!
Pros:

es war kein Hotelzimmer, es war riesig zwei große Schlafzimmer (gut geeignet für 4 Personen) ein geräumiges Bad und einer schönen Terrasse mit Blick auf den Nil. Das Personal auch hier sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit für alle unseren geplanten Unternehmungen. Die Lage Top! Restaurants in der Nähe. Der Pool war sauber und Handtücher wurden uns sofort gebracht. Es war auf unserem Trip, dass einzige Hotel, wo man auch mal ein Bier bestellen konnte:-)

Buena ubicación, malas instalaciones
Pros:

La ubicación y la terraza con vistas al Nilo y al templo de Luxor

Cons:

Descuidado, instalaciones viejas. Reservamos dos habitaciones y nos dieron una especie de apartamento con dos habitaciones, un baño y lo que parecía una cocina. Todo bastante viejo y destartalado. La limpieza, justa.

Pause à Louxor
Pros:

La chambre était un peu vieillotte mais correct.
L’hôtel est situé sur la rive ouest du Nil, il faut donc prendre le ferry public (25lep) qui fonctionne 24h/24 pour la traversée ou une petite felouque qu’il faut négocier sur place

Cons:

Attention à prendre en compte les taxes qui sont ajoutées au prix lors de la réservation

In the centre of things within easy access to the best of the east and west banks.
Pros:

Location was great with a view of the Nile to Luxor Temple and close to the ferry across to the east bank. The pool is small but clean and great for a cooling dip after a hot morning at the sites. The rooftop restaurant has a wonderful panoramic view of the Nile. The staff are friendly and helpful and will arrange visits to all the main attractions of Luxor

Cons:

The fan and air con were a bit noisy

Beautiful location and friendly staff
Pros:

Location was excellent and staff very friendly.
Good value for money with a nice breakfast included.
The hotel also arranged trips for us which was helpful and not much more expensive than booking direct.

Cons:

My sons had pizzas in the restaurant which weren’t cooked through and almost inedible.

Heerlijke plek om Luxor te bekijken, aan de Nijl met fantastisch dakterras waar je heerlijk kunt eten
Pros:

De locatie is fantastisch, je kan direct met de boot naar de overkant en je zit in een klein stadje waar je van alles kunt kopen. Een Vodafone winkel voor een simkaart met Engels sprekende vrouw. Wij dachten een kamer met uitzicht op de rivier hadden geboekt, maar bij Booking hebben ze alleen kamers met gedeeltelijk uitzicht op de rivier. Ze hebben ons toen een betere kamer gegeven. Het eten is heel erg lekker en alles is vers. Hele goede kok!
