Pros:

Hotel molto molto carino, colazione buona e anche la cena. Stanze piuttosto spaziose ma poco illuminate.

Cons:

La posizione. Non è lontanissima dalle attrazioni da visitare (in macchina) ma la zona sembra un po' malfamata.

Pros:

Les hôtes sont très gentils et attentionnés. Le petit déjeuner est le même tous les matins mais il est varié. Chambre propre, hôtel beau et propre. Bon rapport qualité prix.

Cons:

Le matéla dans notre chambre n'était pas confortable. La literie est vieille. L hôtel n'est pas bien situé, très isolé, il faut toujours se déplacer avec un taxi. Hors de l hôtel dépaysement totale assuré. Dur de communiquer avec les réceptionnistes car elles ne savaient pas bien parler anglais.

Pros:

Food was delicious and always came in big portions. Friendly staff, always eager to help and kept the room clean.

Cons:

The surroundings of the hotel are very noisy. Different animals (donkeys, cows etc.) and vehicles in the neighborhood are constantly making noise, making resting impossible. It is not the hotel's fault but if someone is trying to find a peaceful place to stay, this might not be the ideal choice.

Perfect verblijf in Luxor, westoever
Pros:

Het personeel is heel vriendelijk en hulpvaardig. De meeste spreken redelijk tot goed Engels. Het biologische eten is gevarieerd en heerlijk. Het zwembad en de ruimte er omheen is fris en ruim. Volop zon tot 16.30 in winter. We huurden via hun een chauffeur in (Baba) die reed ons naar alle highlights in Luxor en ver er buiten, goed Engels en vriendelijk. Het is er heerlijk stil, al heb je wel de oproepen tot gebed van de moskee en de dieren zoals ezel. Kamer is mooi en hete douche. Aanrader

Cons:

Wifi doet het, maar traag

Pros:

Le calme , la gentillesse du personnel de restauration

Cons:

Chambre un peu petite
Jacuzzi soit disant disponible mais eau froide et personnel incapable de corriger le tir malgré leur demande d’attendre 1 puis 2h. Très décevant.

Mi casa en Luxor
Pros:

Al llegar ya me sorprendió lo bonito y hermosamente decorado e iluminado que está este hotel. El personal de recepción (Amira), el chofer (Mohamed), empleados del restaurante (donde comimos maravillosamente rico y en un entorno de paz y alegría) TODOS nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos y en casa.
Las habitaciones son amplias, con detalles de buen gusto, bien equipadas y con camas cómodas.
El sector de la pileta y jacuzzi invitan a quedarse y de noche la iluminación es sencillamente perfecta!.definitivamente este es mi lugar en Luxor!

Cons:

Nada para mencionar

Pros:

The hotel is absolutely beautiful and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The level of service is exemplary. We had a wonderful holiday there and nothing was too much trouble for us. The food is absolutely wonderful and the place is immaculate.

Cons:

The coffee is dreadful so we went to a local cafe for a decent one. Given the fact there is a lot of attention to detail at the hotel this has been overlooked. Also a poor brand of coffee in the room too.

Friendly boutique hotel stay in a quiet secluded part of the West Bank
Pros:

A lovely boutique property with quaint architecture and a lovely quiet setting with a view of the Nile situated on the West Bank. Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the main city it is a great place to wind down after a long hot day of seeing sights. The onsite restaurant serves a number of delicious meals local and international far that are delicious as well as a generous breakfast with breads cheezes an omelet and some traditional Egyptian dishes. Really enjoyed my stay here, the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

The only downside is that it is further away from the sites and not walkable to anything around but it’s a trade off you make for the serene peace and quiet.

Pros:

très bel hotel à taille humaine situé au calme proche du Nil. Tout est vraiment très propre et bien aménagé. Belle petite piscine avec transats. Belle chambre au calme avec balcon et vue sur le Nil. Très bon petit déjeuner. Personnel très gentil et serviable. Très bon restaurant avec des plats préparés entre autres avec les légumes et les fruits du jardin appartenant à l'hotel. Je recommande !
