Nile Panorama Hotel

"Seriously, don't book this place on the West Bank. It's incredibly awful. It's in the middle of nowhere, the rooms are filthy, and while the owner is genuinely trying their best, the hotel itself is completely run-down. Breakfast is inedible, there's nothing around it, and to top it all off, there are tons of mosquitoes."

Karnak Hotel Luxor

"Ok good service. Nice staff. I like this place very much. I will come back"

Rezeiky Hotel & Camp

"Viver, very pleased to come across of this small, but comfortable Hotel. Especially you were pleased with The staff of this Hotel friendly, open with a good humour, already to help you in no respects business lunch was very good, not much choice but everything what we had was very tasty and prepared with the love. You wouldn’t expect in such small Hotel for such small way to have a lovely swimming pool. The only thing it was not as good as could be was the rooms gloomy with a small window, with the flies all around and not very clean. They have to Renova them and I think they’re in the process they wish them good luck and the sense our things."

El Nakhil Hotel

"The room is big and quiet, and there is a big swimming pool, but there is no toothbrush or toothpaste! Charging plugs need to be purchased in advance. Breakfast is on the second floor, but they can also be delivered to the room. The boss packed breakfast for us to take with us on the road. Since we were leaving early, we thought we might not be able to have breakfast! This still makes people feel warm! The hotel is on the west bank of the river and the airport is on the east bank. It is quite expensive to take a taxi to the west bank. You can go to the east bank boat station and take a boat for 20 pounds and it will take you to the west bank in 10 minutes. It is quite convenient."

Mara House Luxor

"Right off the top, we did not stay at Mara House. We did, however, book 4 days of travel, transfers and tours directly with Mara / Mara House. Luxor has been on my bucket list as long as I can remember. Last month my husband and I finally made it here for our 40th anniversary. I pretty much knew what I wanted to see, I just needed help with planning and logistics. Unlike the large bus tours, I wanted a dedicated, personalised tour for just the two of us, with a knowledgeable guide and driver, seeing the the sites we deemed important to us. Mara was our Ace in the Hole. I came across her blog while researching our trip and I was hooked by her honesty of telling it like it is. I contacted her with our travel dates and trip desires. She put together an itinerary as well as made suggestions for a few extra sites not even on our radar. I took her advice and went with it. WOW!! Could not have worked out better. Awesome trip! Thank you Mara! I would also like to thank our guides. Mo, you made the West Bank "come alive". Hassan, I still show off with the ancient Egyptian "excel" spread sheet and reading of a cartouche - I am so ready for my test! I would also like to thank Rami, our driver for all 4 days, including transfers to and from Hurghada. Such a friendly, helpful and kind man. If you have a vision of what your ideal trip to Egypt should be, let Mara help bring it to life. No hassles, just pure enjoyment."

Gaddis Hotel, Suites and Apartments

"The hygiene was very poor. There were urine stains on the toilet in the newly opened room. The conditions were also very simple. I left that night."

Happy Land Luxor

"It's located in a narrow alley. Upon checking in, I was asked, "Are you going sightseeing in Luxor?" When I replied, "I've been to various places today," I was met with, "Huh? Why?" I suspect they were lamenting the decrease in guests, perhaps because the hotel also offers tours. This exchange was quite persistent. Also, there was a school in the alley right in front of the hotel, and children were playing with firecrackers, making it impossible to relax. Even when I was shown to my room, they didn't even turn on the hallway lights, there were no windows, yet the sound of firecrackers was blaring, which was terrifying. The power outlets were only located high up, making it impossible to charge anything. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I requested to check out and changed to another hotel. (Even then, I was repeatedly criticized with "Why?" and "It's like this everywhere!") Scary."

Amon Hotel

"Very comfy spacious and cute place, great for photos taking!"
