To complain about it was actually only, that our check-in took almost two hours, because the room were not ready yet. We sat in the lobby to cold... Read more

Incidentally, we would strongly recommend getting one of the Nile view rooms on the first (second by American convention) floor;: they not only have great views; they also are bigger. - in September 10

Many of the lower level staff are excellent, some are not so good, and some managers do not have a "we care" attitude -- I think they process too many tour groups and fail to pay attention to their individual Starwood premium guests.

The staff were friendly and deft,the front of house responsive (but not always clued up to the standards that other Sheratons exhibit) and two of the porters were a delight (You will know which ones, if you stay here). - in December 09

Location
- in March 10
First of all, great location, not far from all the main sights in luxor, with a free shuttle running downtown several times a day. - in November 09
All of Luxor's temples and museums were a 5 minute free shuttle bus ride away.
- in March 10

The Sheraton hotel we feel is a perfect hotel, the location is ideal, The hotel offers a free shuttle bus numerous times per day to the town and many tourist attractions. - in April 10
There is also a free shuttle bus that runs throughout the day if you dont want to walk. - in March 10
If you want to go further the hotel puts a free shuttle bus of for you into Luxor itself (about 30 minute walk) - the temple is really easy to visit yourself and the winter palace is worth a look at. - in December 09
we stayed at the Sheraton for a week in November, The Hotel is a little bit upriver and out of town, not a problem as it is much quieter than the hotels on the Corniche and the hotel runs an hourly free shuttle bus up to the Luxor museum at the other end of town, the driver will drop you off part way if you ask nicely. - in September 09
The hotel is in a quiet location but central Luxor is easliy reached by taxi or free shuttle bus (there and back).

However bear in mind that there are only a handful of good restaurants in Luxor - most people seem reluctant to venture out where the locals go and just stay in their hotels or on the cruise ships. - in September 09
