This heritage hotel transports you back to that heyday of glamorous travel and the staff excel all expectations of hospitality. There's no other property with these views, the location is excellent - opposed the Nile with views across to the Valley of the Kings and right next to Luxor temple

Life goals - stay in a palace. Completed!! This hotel was incredible and had a beautiful view of the water (Nile), you could stroll at night and visit the Luxor temple. The bathroom and large patio off the bedroom were stunning. The breakfast on fine china and delicious eats was one of the best I’d had in a while. Will definitely return to this place that was comfort and heaven in every way.

Amazing grounds, pool and garden. Beautiful old hotel. Unfortunately, I had expectations for a more comfortable bed. I also expected the electricity to work and for their to be a little heat. There was no compensation for the failed electricity. I would definitely choose a different hotel next time and just visit the pool and the hotel. The staff did not care one bit for any of the issues. Disappointing. Go stay in Aswan instead!
