As well as in january 2012 is this hotel for the short break or culture very recommendable. Since the tourism dwindled, -i don't understand why? -i 2012 and 2013 in Luxor -nothing! - from the riots experienced. read more

In short good four star hotel. Balanced price- Leisteungsverhältni, ideal for excursions. Breakfast a little basic, but OK, apart from that good( pizza, Pasta, burgers) to very good (shrimp, Scalopini Shish and so on) food. The Nile side a bit noisy( is however everywhere so if you centrally located hotel in luxor Facing the garden a lot quiet, however missing of course the Nile view. Would book this hotel again, when fully booked the pool area however clearly too small. So recommended for people their surroundings erlunden want, nothing for pool Lying chairs. P. P. Something against flies along, was ... perhaps Fliegenzeit, were very annoying. read more

    our room was big enough, double rooms with balcony the Nile-side. Wardrobe with safe (the we however not used). Minibar was available, however not filled. A massive flat screen there was also around (the we not a single time wasn't at all). Telephone between the beds and even in the bathroom.

    We only used the main dining room on the first floor. On the ground floor there are other restaurants, as well as a bar. the quality of the dishes and drinks was excellent! During our week gave it every day lots of new and varied courts( exception: Rice, the always prepared), the very tasty were. The selection consisted of a large buffet, where you could help yourself. the cuisine was rather International (of course no pork!). Around ten different salads, approximately ten different dishes, soup, different desserts, as well as fruit. the atmosphere thanks to the very friendly friendly employees very pleasant. Tips are quite desired. The prices (about for drinks) are not as favorable as outside of the hotel even bought. It is quite convenient, during the stay everything nice the room to leave, but you should end of the vacation it's not on the bill be surprised!

    the hotel staff was exceptionally friendly, accommodating and helpful. Communication stated in English (when in doubt with hands and feet). at the cleaning of the rooms is nothing to complain about. As I have already mentioned, be daily towels/beach towels changed, as well as the carpets cleaned. A dirty shirt, the I in the morning to cleaning delivered, was already in the afternoon finished on the bed (Cost about 1.50 euro). complaints is promptly cared for. About has the air conditioning only cold air supplied (and January it in luxor evenings unpleasant cold). After a call to the front desk they provided a radiator in the room, so the problem was resolved.

    the hotel lies book on the Nile promenade between luxor temple and Karnak temple. The luxor temple is within around 15 minutes easy to reach on foot, the Karnak temple attracts it on foot because quite. As recommends a taxi, as you are in the massive Karnak temple still enough to walk. options for shopping does not exist only in the hotel, but in the area more than sufficient. Over possibilities for excursions in luxor to talk, non-necessary probably. There are loads of temples and tombs to visit. The best with the tour operator talk, he organized either excursions with German speaking Monitoring or cheap taxi driver, a drive, where one would like.

If you live in the middle of luxor and if you like it quiet, if the treasures of the ancient and admire the afternoon by the pool want to laze around, so if you right in the middle of the Orient and if necessary on an island of tranquillity would like to be, the El luxor (formerly Mercure ETAP) recommended. With all the benefits it is quite affordable. I have stayed there six times within a decade and, with all Agyptenbesuch to make an excursion to luxor. read more

As tourists in Egypt one should miss an excursion to Luxor. not we were with our two day trip in El-Luxor hotel and were very impressed. The staff was outstandingly friendly and competent. The quality of the food was very good, as well as their presentation. The need for dinner and breakfast. Beautiful large room with safe and refrigerator, something worn, but clean and with a fantastic view over the river Nile and Thebes/West. For a short stay actually very recommended. read more

This hotel has 20 years after. The toilets are very clean and the reception also. The staff speaks many languages and is very helpful. On arrival you should give tips already, then one has the best service. Above all the room boys are extremely active and to local joke ready. The room are well-appointed (large TV) fridge which you can also fill. Many hotels not allow outside bought drinks! Everyone can find something to the meal his taste. If something not okay should be, they made a lot of effort, this immediately. So if you want to stay close to ... want to visit and Karnak or west bank, this hotel is the place for you. read more

The staff of the pool service was very friendly and organized with the present tourists different games in the pool. Particularly the kids had their fun thereby. The breakfast buffet was greater than our apartment here in Germany, the offer more than enough. There was cold and hot dishes available, even cakes and sweet pastry. The staff were very friendly. read more

The breakfast is rich. I have stayed on half board, because it is close to plenty of restaurants are. The pool and the garden were very well-kept. The hotel is in an excellent location, about seven minutes walk from Luxor-Temple and the Souk. read more
