4 Day Luxor Stay
The drive to the hotel took us down a side street as opposed to a main road giving a very bad first impression but on arriving at the hotel we were pleasantly surprised. The reception was airy and authentically Egyptian. Nasser welcomed us and arranged for us to get together on the terrace the next morning so we could go to our room as it was quite late. He also swapped our room for a larger nicer one after the first night.
The next morning he gave us plenty of his time to discuss the area, the tours and trips available and make us feel welcome.
The free breakfast can be Egyptian (falafel, beans-foul, bread, small salad, juice and tea/coffee) or continental (eggs, small salad, bread, juice and tea/coffee) and sets you up well for the day.
You take breakfast on the top terrace which has an awesome view of Hatshepsut’s temple and also the balloons starting there trips over the valley of the kings.
All of the staff are extremely helpful and very nice to go with it. Any problems or questions we had were dealt with swiftly and until we were satisfied.
The rooms are a bit old and maybe not as clean as your house but you’re paying less than £20 a night and getting a free breakfast.
That said, we slept very well, the air conditioning was new and very good, the water heater was new and the bed was comfortable.
If you need a taxi to/from Luxor airport, contact them as we had one for £500eg which is very reasonable. He also arranged a guided tour for a really good price.
