The location should’ve been nice, except construction, overwhelmed the experience
Pros:

The location right on the Nile is nice, however, with so much construction in the area it was impossible to enjoy the pool area at all

Cons:

There is construction inside the hotel they’re renovating rooms, and surrounding area is all under construction. The roads are wrapped up as they are preparing for The Four Seasons hotel to open up in approximately one year from now. There’s loads of noise, dust, construction workers everywhere. The pool area was terrible. There was fake grass and carpet all over the deck which looked tattered and dirty. There were black tarps, hanging all around the side of the pool likely to prevent dust from entering the pool. The pool is sunken down you cannot see anything from there. Photos on the website look much better than reality.

Overall really good hotel with great staff whom are working under difficult set of circumstances external
Pros:

A Good property, the staff were efficient, assertive, available, personable and trustworthy to meet our needs.

The infrastructure, rooms well maintained -though building works next door and major works out front on street main entrance impacted Sonesta -the staff though dedicated, professional under enduring external circumstances.

Cons:

The gym equipment needs as a high priority service maintenance. Running machine belts both slipping, likely to cause injury, the rowing machine seat runners causes friction, bump effects. Servicing equipment needs to be arranged.

The shower/baths fixtures/equipment in room whilst multifunctional is complicated to use and are looking dated -refurbishment -modernisation would be advantageous.

Molt bon hotel, molt recomanable. Llàstima que a Lúxor s'assetja constantment als turistes.
Pros:

Habitacions molt complertes amb llits comfortables. Molt bon servei, instal·lacions i amabilitat del personal.

Cons:

Els voltants de l'Hotel no donaven gaire confiança a persones estrangeres. Assetjament constant per part de venedors, taxistes i d'altres persones que no paraven de seguir-nos.

A good stay with some things to be aware of
Pros:

Location. Staff. Breakfast. Restaurants. The pool.

Cons:

Rooms are a bit dated, although we know they are in the process of updating and modernizing all rooms. If you stay there you will have to tolerate some noise due to that. Also, the huge construction project of the upcoming Four Seasons hotel is affecting all hotels in the vecinity with road widening and new utilities being installed. It will go on for another 2-3 years. Not much you can do to avoid it.

It’s good but definitely there is room for improvement
Pros:

Friendly staff and good hotel

Cons:

The curtains are not blackout, the AC sounds LOUD and it’s difficult at the middle of the night to sleep with that sound. You can also hear the sounds of the street, there’s no sound isolation. We were expecting more

A welcoming hotel with excellent staff, but the relentless surrounding construction made it impossible to relax.
Pros:

The interior of the hotel was attractive, comfortable and well maintained. The staff were warm, hospitable and genuinely eager to please, and they were easily the best part of our stay. The hotel was also conveniently located for exploring Luxor and its historic sites.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the hotel was quite literally surrounded by construction work—to the front and on both sides. Our supposed side Nile view directly overlooked one of the major construction sites. The noise continued from approximately 8am until 9pm, making it impossible to relax either by the pool or in our room. The extent of the surrounding construction and disruption wasn’t made sufficiently clear when we booked.

The pool also had damaged tiles, and our son cut his toe on one. Although there were several dining options, we found the quality of the food disappointing. Overall, while the hotel’s interior was pleasant, the construction made the environment anything but relaxing and seriously affected our stay.

一般般
Pros:

早餐还不错，住房升级了

Cons:

门口有点乱，离卢克索神庙有点距离，最好的酒店应该是在卢克索神庙和坐帆船的那一带

We loved our stay and hope we can return one day
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the Sonesta St. George in Luxor. First, the staff as a whole is so warm, welcoming, professional, and helpful. I can’t fully express how amazing they are. I can’t name everyone but I will name a few people who made our stay extra special - Wahid, Mohammad, Malik (reception), Hany and Clara (travel agency/excursion booking), Elia (driver arranged by Hany who we had for three days), Nagha (Pool). The housekeeping staff was also fantastic - always available to help us with whatever we needed.
Our room had a balcony and beautiful view of the Nile. Facing west, we watched several sunsets from our balcony.
The location is excellent. We walked to Luxor Temple several times. There are restaurants in the hotel and also nearby and it’s easy to catch a cab in front of the hotel if you need one.
