Pros:

The staff were lovely. Always willing to please. There were a few issues which they resolved quickly.
The ambiance around the terrace in the evening was very pleasant.

Cons:

The location. It is a very long way from anything. Taxis can be hard to find and are expensive. If you want to do a tour in the morning and go out in the evenings, the four taxi rides can be painful.
There are a lot of flies around the pool, but I appreciate that the staff are unable to control that problem.

Bel hôtel mais isolé et restaurant pas terrible
Pros:

Hôtel très confortable, chambre spacieuse très propre et calme. Personnel adorable. La piscine est un plus.

Cons:

Le restaurant cher et très très moyen. Il me semble que le potager bio mentionné dans certains avis a disparu au Profit d’une extension en cours … FArmer’s house à côté est en revanche à ne pas manquer ! Le petit déjeuner lui aussi moyen. L’emplacement loin de tout, l’hôtel n’est intéressant que si vous avez négocié des taxis à la journée pour les excursions.

Un vero gioiello!
Pros:

Abbiamo trascorso un soggiorno meraviglioso al Jewel Howard Carter Hotel, un'autentica oasi di pace dove ci siamo sentiti coccolati dal primo all'ultimo momento.
La struttura è accogliente, tranquilla e curata, con ottimi servizi e un'atmosfera che permette di rilassarsi completamente dopo le intense giornate alla scoperta delle meraviglie di Luxor.
Una menzione speciale va al proprietario, una persona di una gentilezza e disponibilità straordinarie, che fin dal primo momento ha fatto di tutto per farci sentire a nostro agio e soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza.
Un ringraziamento di cuore anche a Khaled, il gentilissimo cameriere che si è preso cura di noi durante le cene, sempre sorridente, premuroso e attento a ogni dettaglio.
E che dire del cibo? Semplicemente speciale! Piatti deliziosi, preparati con cura, che hanno reso ancora più piacevoli le nostre serate.
Sono soprattutto le persone a rendere indimenticabile un soggiorno, e qui abbiamo trovato un'ospitalità davvero speciale.
Consigliamo questo piccolo angolo di paradiso a chiunque visiti Luxor. Noi porteremo a casa un ricordo bellissimo e torneremo sicuramente a trovarvi!
Grazie di cuore a tutti! ❤️

Cons:

I bambini francesi 😂

Lovely oasis
Pros:

The hotel is lovely. Clean and comfortable. It has a restaurant and if you can't make breakfast because you're leaving early they will give you a takeaway bag. There are many local restaurants which offer good local foods. It is also close to many of the west bank sights. We'd definitely be happy to stay there again 😁 The laundry service was good too.

Cons:

The only negative thing was the sheets - poor quality and pilled.

Soggiorno rilassante… che sarebbe potuto essere molto più rilassante!
Pros:

Hotel bello e pulito, fuori dal caos di luxor.

Cons:

Staff molto rumoroso la mattina presto e a tratti invadente (soprattutto a colazione e pranzo).
Siamo stati chiamati in camera alle 10 di sera solo per sapere a che ora saremo usciti il giorno dopo (ancora ci chiediamo il perchè). Piscina bella e disponibile ma con lavori in prossimità, polvere e rumore, abbiamo dovuto chiedere di interrompere almeno per un po’ il martello pneumatico. Sicuramente è una cosa passeggera ma non ci è piaciuto molto l’atteggiamento.
La cucina a nostro parere non era molto buona.
Atteggiamenti dello staff non sempre “simpatici”.

Pros:

Eine kleine Oase mitten im ägyptischen Chaos. Es gibt wenig Orte in Ägypten, wo man frei vom täglichen Gedränge sein kann, und dieses Hotel ist definitiv einer.
Das Personal war sehr nett, das Restaurant war gut, alles hat funktioniert wie erwartet und die Mitarbeiter haben schnell auf unsere Anfragen reagiert.
Der Fahrer (Muhammad) war sehr zuverlässig und ist ruhig und stabil gefahren, eine große Ausnahme in Ägypten.

Una piccola OASI di pace a Luxor. Ottimo staff - davvero gentili e disponibili. Ottima cucina.
Pros:

Una piccola OASI di pace a Luxor. Ottimo staff - davvero gentili e disponibili. Ottima cucina. Abbiamo chiesto un early check in alle 07.00 del mattino e ci hanno concesso l'utilizzo della camera tutta la giornata. ottimo servizio transfer per aeroporto e stazione. adatto a chi viaggia con bimbi. consiglio servizio mezza pensione. non è in centro, ma il giardino/piscina sono fantastici e anche il servizio transfer. semplice e pulito. ottimo e raccomandabile.

An oasis fif one night
Pros:

The staff were lovely and very helpful - I arrived with a bag full of washing and I had clean clothes the next morning.
The breakfast was huge and very tasty!
The pool was a welcome plus.

Cons:

The quilt was very heavy - definitely not necessary in the summer; a top sheet would have been better.
