1. House of Hathor - Swiss quality combined with Egyptian spirit

Luxor

"We had a wonderful experience with the host, Danielle, who was incredibly quick to respond to all our needs. Mohamed truly went above and beyond by ensuring my father was taken to the medical center with utmost care and for the transportation for our group. The house itself is impressively spacious, perfect for accommodating large groups comfortably. While it's about a 30-minute drive to the center, I had complete confidence in Mohamed's ability to manage all our transportation needs. He even...

Top Luxor Hotel Reviews

Nefertiti

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the Nefertiti hotel was one of a kind and amazing. All of the staff were very kind and professional. Ahmed was so cool and kind. I felt safe in the hotel let alone the area.The rooms are clean and the bed is comfortable. This hotel has an old Egyptian rustic antique style to it. As a solo women traveler and black woman I never felt uncomfortable. I felt at home and like family as if they were my uncles and brothers. The food is GREAT on the rooftop and so is the view. I would definitely go back when in Luxor. Also you can walk to get your brows done , and the market, and McDonald's if you like. They will help you, and arrange anything you may need ,just ask, although they will ask you anyway. Also they have a car service that will pick you up from the airport very affordable . Thank you Nefertiti hotel."

Steigenberger Resort Achti

8/10 Good

"The hotel was as expected, and the staff were consistently helpful. I was, however, disappointed by the very limited number of women on staff. I recognize that women are less represented in the workforce in Egypt, and having visited the country several times, was prepared for that disparity. Still, it can be uncomfortable as a female guest to have nearly every interaction be with men. I continue to hope that hotels—particularly those with international ownership and clientele—will give greater consideration to gender diversity among their staff."

Hilton Luxor Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed five nights at the Hilton Spa & Resort in Luxor with my wife and teen daughter in two connecting rooms. The staff were attentive throughout, particularly those managing the pool and exterior restaurant. The property’s true strength is its waterfront location directly on the Nile: the infinity pools, outdoor seating, and sunset views are exceptional. All in all, an excellent stay."

Sonesta St George Hotel Luxor

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Hotel! Very beautiful, with spacious rooms and view from balcony towards the Nile River. Staff was very kind and helpful, as well as having a great variety of restaurants. Overall great hotel."

Pyramisa Hotel Luxor

10/10 Excellent

"I’m fully happy with Pyramisa Hotel Luxor. Words cannot describe the beauty of this location. If heaven on earth needs to be seen it is here. We stayed there for 2 days, my kids loved it . We could see fabulous Nile view from our room. The calmness of Nile with backdrop mountains is beyond description. Staffs were phenomenal. The manager Wael allowed us to stay beyond check out for easiness of travel before flight . I would definitely recommend and will be staying there next time as well. Keep it up Pyramisa Hotel."

Jolie Ville Hotel & Spa Kings Island Luxor

10/10 Excellent

"Our second visit to Hotel Jolie Ville and we couldn't be happier. The complex is stunningly situated next to the Nile, surrounded by tranquil gardens and nature. The staff are exceedingly helpful and friendly, a special mention to Patricia in the restaurant and Osama, the pool attendant, who both went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for us. The food is delicious and varied and the premises immaculately clean and well presented. We would definitely stay again!"

Steigenberger Nile Palace

10/10 Excellent

"J’ai beaucoup aimé mon séjour à l’hôtel. I will come back for sure"

Susanna

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly, the property was clean and the room service was amazing. The only thing I would comment on is the pool needed a little bit more cleaning but with how hot it is we did not care. This one minor blip didn’t ruin anything for us and we would highly recommend. It’s in good walking distance to places as well."

Al Moudira Hotel

8/10 Good

"you have to come in with appropriate expectations. This is Egypt and it's Luxor. The pictures make this look very beautiful, and a lot of the resort is picturesque, but what you don't see is you get dropped off on a street and walk through a metal detector, there are A LOT of mosquitoes, and the rooms are tired. I mean, I walked in and could see from across the room that the mattress was shot, with huge depressions where people had been sleeping over the years, and my back hurt all week. The air conditioners worked but were super loud. The rooms are huge but pretty dilapidated, with weird bathrooms. The pool was really nice and the staff were very nice. Our guide warned us that many of his clients staying here had gotten 'food poisoning', and I did indeed get travelers diarrhea here. I cannot be sure where I got it but we only ate at the hotel and Im a doctor who is very germaphobic and Im an experienced traveler, I never touch tap water even for the toothbrush. I was the only one of my family who ate salad twice, so that is a possible source. I should know better than ordering a salad, but I thought it would be safe in the hotel. Totally my fault, but would ask the hotel to make sure they are not washing vegetables in tap water. The doctor on site was super nice and helpful and gave me cipro/flagyl which took care of it in a couple of days. We ended our stay early. I will not be coming back. Its probably nice by Luxor standards, just set your expectations appropriately."
