Pros:

Die Lage des Quiet Gate Guesthouse mitten in den Feldern der Westbank von Luxor mit fantastischem Rundumblick vor allem von der Dachterrasse aus, hat mir äußerst gut gefallen. Man verlebt dort sehr ruhige und erholsame Tage und Nächte. Der Blick auf die Berge mit den beleuchteten Gräbern der Noblen ist vor allem bei Dunkelheit atemberaubend. Das Personal und der Besitzer sind ausgesprochen freundlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit.
Vielen Dank! Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Cons:

Da ich auf Grund von Rücken- und Hüftgelenksproblemen nicht mehr sehr beweglich bin, gab es für mich einen kleinen Wermutstropfen: ich hätte so gern täglich den Pool benutzt, aber habe mich nicht getraut, einzusteigen, da die Leiter für mich zu wenig tief in den Pool hineinging. Ich hatte Angst, nicht mehr aussteigen zu können. Anderen jüngeren Gästen bereitete dieses jedoch keine Probleme. Aber eventuell könnte ja eine zusätzliche längeren Leiter zum Einsteigen angebracht werden für die ältere Generation.

Bouffée d’air fraîche!

Limpeza deixa muito a desejar
Pros:

O alojamento fica muito bem localizado numa zona de prados verdejantes e vista desafogada. Pela manhã é possível ver os balões de ar quente passar enquanto tomamos o pequeno almoço no topo do edifício. A piscina é óptima para os dias de maior calor. A comida é maravilhosa e foi das melhores que comemos em todo o Egipto, tanto que acabamos por fazer todas as refeições no alojamento. Para ir e vir do cais do ferry em Luxor basta apanhar um tuk tuk por 50egp cada trajeto.
O uber não funciona nessa zona pois estão sempre a tentar extorquir mais dinheiro (comum nos egipcios sempre a tentar enganar os turistas pois para eles somos carteiras abertas com dinheiro) com mensagens privadas mas o In Drive é uma excelente alternativa (em todo o Egipto na verdade).
A propriedade disponibiliza passeios a todas as atrações na localidade mas confirmem bem os preços pois encontrámos sempre mais barato noutros locais. Penso que eles inflacionam bastante os preços.

Cons:

No primeiro dia chegamos bastante cedo ao alojamento, deixamos as mochilas e fomos diretos fazer passeios. Quando chegámos, exaustos pelas 16h só queríamos tomar um banho. Deram-nos um quarto no andar cá em baixo junto da piscina, absolutamente horrível. Cheirava a tabaco, o colchão afundava no meio sendo impossível de dormir nele, o chuveiro estava estragado e o quarto parecia um buraco sem luz. Horrível. Ainda tivemos de esperar 1h para que o proprietário arranjasse o chuveiro - teve o dia todo para o fazer mas ainda assim tivemos de esperar - e quando fomos para tomar banho não havia água quente pois o proprietário se esqueceu de ligar o botão da caldeira. Tivemos de esperar ainda mais meia hora por um banho quente. Tivemos uma noite horrível naquele colchão que afundava com lençóis a cheirar a tabaco que culminou com sermos acordados às 5h da manhã por outros hóspedes que achavam que ali era a recepção. Depois ainda ficaram todos a conversar ali o que tornou impossível dormir. Foi horrível ter ficado naquele quarto. Evitem o quarto duplo com casa de banho do rés-do-chão. No dia seguinte depois de nos queixarmos o proprietário passou-nos para um quarto dois andares acima, com janelas grandes e colchões como deve ser, mas uma vez mais sentimos que a limpeza deixava muito a desejar.
Acho que o alojamento tem imenso potencial pela localização, boa comida, terraço no andar de cima e piscina mas realmente faz falta bastante limpeza. Não vimos ninguém passar um pano numa mesa, uma vassoura no chão das escadas ou até uma esfregona. Foi o sítio mais sujo onde ficamos em todo o Egipto, o que é uma pena.

Poor
Cons:

I arrived and my room was occupied. They put me up temporarily. There was no electricity. Late in the afternoon they told me my room was ready. I went up and it was occupied by a couple. They left the same sheets on the bed. The terrace area was extremely dirty. Uber service doesn't operate in the area.

Pros:

Superbe séjour au Quiet Gates Guest House.

Si l’hôtel ne paye pas de mine à première vue, mais il s’est agréablement découvert au fur et à mesure de notre séjour tant il accumule les à côté positifs.

Pour commencer, la vue dont on jouïe depuis le rooftop sur les montagnes abritant la vallée des rois est tout bonnement à couper le souffle. Et quand s’élève les montgolfières au petit matin pour survoler ce paysage, on a vraiment le sentiment de vivre un moment magique

La nourriture (spécialement les petits déjeuners dont on a largement profité mais également les autres repas), était un véritable régale

Par ailleurs, l’hôte se coupe vraiment en quatre pour organiser nos excursions (voiture et guide le cas échéant) en fonction de nos besoins, à des prix parfaitement raisonnables, ce qui a été un véritable confort pendant notre séjour

Enfin en ce qui concerne la localisation, je craignais que l’hôtel ne soit trop excentré mais il n’en est rien. Si effectivement rejoindre la Est Bank coûte un petit billet compte tenu de la distance, nous sommes en revanche à proximité des principales attractions de la West Bank. À noter que l’hôtel est également à 5 min à pied d’un petit village où se trouve plusieurs excellents restaurants ainsi que les colosses de Memmon !

Une vue merveilleuse et une équipe familiale à l’écoute
Pros:

La chambre d’hôtes est très bien placée au calme, avec une vue superbe sur les champs et la montagne. La vue du toit terrasse est juste fantastique !
La famille est très sympa et a fait tout son possible pour répondre à nos attentes. Nous avons mangé sur place et c’était bon et avec un bon rapport qualité prix.

Cons:

L’établissement serait encore mieux avec quelques réparations mieux finies, notamment dans l’une des salles de bains. L’équipe est très à l’écoute pour améliorer l’expérience des clients et nous sommes certains que la gesthouse va monter en gamme.

Fantástica terraza con vistas al Valle de los Reyes
Pros:

Las vistas al Valle de los Reyes son impresionantes. Tiene una terraza muy bonita desde la que se ven volar los globos muy cerca. El personal es muy amable, te ofrecen cena y te hacen sentir como en casa. Te gestionan la reserva en globo.

Cons:

Te consiguen un conductor para los desplazamientos pero preguntar antes el precio que os va a cobrar para no tener sustos
