Bien placé
Pros:

Proximité de la ville et face a l’île éléphantine. Personnel agréable. Nous y avons dormi qu’une nuit

Cons:

Chambre côté route. Du bruit comme partout en Égypte sur les grand axes. Décoration vétuste mais franchement c’est entretenu

よかった
Pros:

英語が使える。おそらく24時間？のフロント対応。
目の前はナイル川でファルーカ乗り場があり、路地裏はアスワンスークになっている。両替屋やATMも近くに多く、観光に快適。
アブシンベル神殿に朝イチで行く際には朝食も持たせてくれた
空港への早朝（朝4時）タクシー送迎も手配してくれた（18ドルくらいで、割高な気もするが、）

Cons:

アスワン駅からは徒歩20分くらいかかる。アスワンスークを物色してたらあまり気にならないが、遠くはある。

Wonderful
Pros:

Mahmoud at the front desk was incredibly friendly and helpful. He kindly and patiently took care of all our requests during our stay.

We had originally booked a room without a Nile view, but when we asked if there was any possibility of changing rooms, he happily upgraded us to a room with a beautiful Nile view at no extra cost, as a room was available.

The hotel has a wonderful location and offers beautiful views of the Nile. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wish we could have stayed longer.

If we have the opportunity to visit Luxor again, we would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much, Mahmoud, for making our stay so special!

Cons:

The Wi-Fi connection in the room was a little weak.

Pros:

Posizione, le stanze erano spaziose

Cons:

Gli interni non sono curati seppur puliti. Non c'è ascensore il che a oltre 40 gradi è rilevante

Excelente ubicación y personal
Pros:

La ubicación excelente, en el centro. El hotel es tranquilo y cerca del mercado. El personal muy preocupado, además te preparan el desayuno para llevar en caso de tener alguna excursión.

Cons:

La variedad del desayuno, dentro de la caja que te entregan, te pasan pan y queso, pero como es para llevar, no hay forma de preparar un sandwich. La distribución de la habitación, el baño está a la entrada y no tiene ventilación, además de tener una ventana que da al dormitorio.

Top, allez y sans hésiter
Pros:

Tout. L'emplacement est incroyable, juste devant le Nile. Les chambres sont très spacieuses, décorées avec goût. Le matelas était incroyable pour moi qui avait un mal de dos.
Le personnel était aux petits soins et nous ont même préparé un petit déj à emporter parce que nos journées commençaient très tôt.

Allez y les yeux fermés.

Cons:

Rien. Tout était top.
