Individually planned we were on holiday there in time to the beginning of march unusually high temperatures to about 36 degrees, pool was 26 degrees. Air conditioning was great, short on return from our day trips was enough. At night we could get away from it all (disturb us the fan), without then it was to warm. From the hotel direction Luxor comes with the free bus good (8:00, 9:30, 11:00, 12:30, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:00), the free boat transfer (9:30, 11:30, 15:00), by minibuses stop (we paid 1 pound to Luxor-Center), by taxi (it many waiting in front of the entrance) or by bike. In the other direction to the north is just a traffic control. Wanted us to not let walk to the next village, one lives here at the edge of the tourist zone. By taxi it is of course no problem, then one comes also further north. We were mostly with the bike (for ten pounds per day) on the way. The could rent at the hotel we unfortunately not, but were able to leave it there. Recommendation: rent a bicycle in transportation, but not intrusive, of agents from the ferry to the distributors to be! Back to the hotel: fantastic location on the Nile with great Park, great warm pool, without restrictive time restrictions as with other hotels (pool so also, for people like us and, the late return of tours). During the day one must count on the banks of the Nile with a irrigation pump engine noise across the nilufer, otherwise calm prevails. Our room was with a double door connected with the room next door. The is for families certainly good, but we found not so good, because we the voices of the neighbors clearly heard. According to escape plan are many room go hand in hand. My wife was woken up in the morning from the mopeds to about 4:15 the adjacent village, I have the with earplugs prevented (reference to previous rates: we stay to house very quiet). To be highlighted is the very friendly staff. Conclusion: we love to stay there again.
