Pros:

Hôtel très beau. Belle piscine. Belle vue. Personnel exceptionnellement gentil. Vérifiez bien les chambres. La nôtre était prévue de 27 m2 mais la salle de bain en prenait la moitié ! Vue latérale que le Nil seulement Petit déjeuner copieux. Le restaurant est un peu cher, il y a mieux aux alentours ( queen house...). Fuyez les transports proposés par l'hôtel, ils sont hors de prix

Cons:

Les prix de taxi proposés. Chambre un peu petite

Pros:

Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Nice pool area. Felt peaceful.

Cons:

Beds were a little uncomfortable and dinner was a bit disappointing, considering all the positive reviews but maybe we just got unlucky. Not the hotels fault at all, but be aware of location...we got the ferry across to the east bank and on returning at 7pm struggled to get a tuk tuk/taxi back to the hotel so best to plan ahead.

Pros:

We had pleasant stay in this nice and well maintained hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was nice and clean, and it was cleaned on daily basis. Food was amazing both in flavour and presentation.

This is a hotel with peaceful atmosphere far enough from the hassle and traffic noise of Luxor centrum. Location is great for sightseeing, especially on the west bank. Helpful staff arranged our transport for archaelogical sites with transparent pricing and flexibility. Our driver was kind, reliable and flexible as well.

Based on our experience we can warmly recommend this hotel.

Good but could be better
Pros:

1. The Staff was very helpful and super kind.
2. The food was good and the Hotel building is nice.
3. We had free Parking space for our Car.
4. Good view of the Nile from our Rooms.

Cons:

1. The Hotel was very hard to reach with our own car, the hotel is not located on a main street so as we were arriving at night, we missed the only directional board out there that shows which street to go through. Specially with these side streets having no street lights, it was a bit Scary at our 1st arrival.

2. Everytime going back to the Hotel after midnight we are surprised that we have no water in the Bathroom. Even after telling the Staff to fix the Water Motor pumping system, 5 mins later, no Water. Specially that my Suit was on the 3rd Floor, so apparently when the water motor pump is not running then no water reaches the the Bathroom. It was bad trying to quickly take a shower and the water cuts again with Soap on the face.

Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast
Pros:

The hotel staff, especially the manager Saeed, were all spectacular. Efficient and friendly.
The breakfast is tasty and always served with a smile. The Chef also greets his patrons.

Cons:

Very poor lighting in my room and bathroom. Even with a few new bulbs, it's very deficient. Can't read at night. Difficult to put in or take off contact lenses in bathroom because of poor lighting.

Pros:

L'hôtel est un havre de paix, très beau, fleuri, attenant à leur petit jardin bio, avec vue sur le Nil. C'est beaucoup plus beau que sur les photos. La chambre était charmante, propre, décorée avec goût et la salle de bain était grande et propre. Le personnel est extrêmement sympathique, accueillant, arrangeant, détendu et serviable. Possible de réserver des visites et des taxis à la réception. La nourriture au restaurant est très bonne et variée. Notre séjour était parfait
