3 Stars Hotels in Luxor Governorate, Egypt

This hotel is a hidden gem in Luxor. The hotel is in an excellent place downtown and my room was neat, clean, and plenty cool thanks to the AC. The manager Mustafa was also very kind and really helped make my stay here special. When I come back to Luxor, I will definitely come back here and enjoy the views from their pool balcony!

Stayed here as part of G Adventures Highlights of Egypt tour. Not much positive to say about the place except I've got to give accolades to the housekeeping guy. He was also friendly and even made some towel art creatures every time he serviced the room. A very nice guy. But you can't go past the ridiculous high prices for laundry. It's per item and starts at one US dollar for a pair of underwear. I mean I'm not from the US and we're not in the US so why are we using a currency that isn't Egyptian pounds? I went to Antarctica who have a monopoly for anything you buy as you're on a ship and their laundry prices weren't that ridiculous. If you're on the G Adventures trip do your laundry at the hotel before this, there it was also per item but only a couple of Egyptian pounds per item. So you can wash everything in your bag for the price of one or two pairs of underwear at Susanna. If you've left it too late the hotel in Alexandria is also quite reasonable. Breakfast was so bad I didn't go back after the first day. These guys couldn't care less about the environment, Every bit of stale bread and every other inedible thing is wrapped in multiple layers of plastic. You've got to pay extra (remember you paid for a room that includes breakfast) for a cup of orange juice. There's no water with breakfast either, you can buy bottles and other beverages in the foyer though.

I would like to say a big thank you to Mr Ehab, his lovely wife and fantastic staff! I was there for Christmas with a group of 23 friends! Firstly I would like to say that the services was excellent, and what value for money. It best I’ve ever had in a hotel in Egypt, even from some of the 5⭐️hotels I’ve stayed in. Nothing was to much trouble! The rooms were clean and the beds so comfy, everything I needed for my stay. It was a great location for seeing all the local tourist attractions and a short walk to the Nile. I will definitely be back again next year! Thank you Gaddis Hotel

I just love the Staff and other people around the hotel very positive happy 😊 and helpfull I have a problem getting around on my legs and the help was always at hand please came and have much fun on the roof top pool with view to kill for what can I say the manager on hand and around every day asking if every think is OK well what can you say but Thank you St,Joseph hotel

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. That being said, for the price, the room surpassed my expectations, in cleanliness and organisation. However, the staff was probably the best part, they helped us book various services in Luxor, including hot air balloon ride. They were very friendly and helpful, and I definitely recommend Shady Hotel as a place to stay for cheap if it is your first time in Luxor.

Located on the quieter West Bank, the hotel (more of a large guest house) is bang in the middle of a village of locals and gives this place a really authentic feel. The locals in the town centre can harass you extensively, but those in the neighbourhood just want to say hello or get on with their day. I haven't always felt safe in Egypt travelling solo, but here I feel completely at home! Every single member of staff is fantastic. Not all of them speak much English, but they'd do anything to make your stay more comfortable. At least three of the staff speak English well: The owner, Mahmoud, usually hangs around the hotel but also lives locally and treats his guests like family. Ahmed will always greet you with a smile and a warm welcome and Talab is a perfect gentleman who will drive you wherever you need to go. The rooms are divided into three blocks, which have been added at different times. Block one has the best rustic feel. My shower wasn't working properly and Mahmoud proposed a number of solutions. Eventually, I moved to a room in the newer block. Most rooms overlook a beautiful green courtyard with exposed and shaded outdoor seating and a pool. There is also a restaurant on site with indoor and outdoor seating. Everything is reasonably priced, tours can be organised in house, and there's a little shop around the corner for things like bottled water staffed by a couple of lovely ladies who speak no English but will not rip you off. Note, there is a mosque nearby which can be quite loud when announcing the call to prayer and that may not be to everyone's taste. Personally, I feel it adds to the charm and it hasn't yet woken me up at night. Access to the populated East Bank and museums is via a ferry that is a 10 minute walk away and costs just 10 EGP per way. Solo traveller, 34

The hotel is very good. The room in an alley is very big. It is similar to a domestic homestay. The boss is very enthusiastic and there is a letter. You can contact the elevator. It is very good.

Muy buen hotel 3 estrellas para los estándares egipcios. Lindas instalaciones y habitaciones acorde al precio. Lo mejor de todo fue la atención de Ahmed, quien nos recibió con té y café de cortesía, fue muy atento en todo momento y nos ayudó con el almuerzo y el transporte al valle de los reyes y al aeropuerto. El hotel no sirve almuerzo, solo desayuno. Tiene una terraza hermosa en el techo desde donde se puede ver Hatshepsut y los globos aerostático en la mañana. Tiene un pequeño minimarket/panadería a la vuelta con snacks, bebidas y cosas de aseo personal, pregunten bien el precio de las cosas antes de comprar (como referencia, un jugo en caja o una oreo vale £10 libras egipcias). Recomendaciones: 1. el hotel queda en la costa oeste, a unos 300 metros de donde te deja el ferry público (que solo vale £10 libras egipcias para los turistas) por lo que es recomendable tomar un taxi (nos costó £450 libras egipcias) desde el aeropuerto hasta el ferry y cruzar y caminar esas calles, aunque la mitad de ese tramo es camino de tierra. Por la noche puede dar susto caminar por ahí, pero notamos que la gente local se conoce y no se corre peligro. 2. Si quieren facilit**** la vida, pregúntenle a Ahmed por chofer personal, quien también se llama Ahmed y vive cerca y es confiable. Pagamos $30 dólares para que nos llevara al valle de los reyes, colosos y hapshetsut y nos esperó todo lo que quisimos, además de darnos una explicación de todo el lugar mientras manejaba. Lo recomiendo para andar relajado sin esperar a ser estafado por otros taxistas. 3. La habitación solo trae una toalla y no tiene secador de pelo, pero simplemente hay que pedirle a Ahmed y los facilita. 4. Tuvimos que batallar contra unos pocos mosquitos en la habitación, pero nada que no se pudiera manejar. Obviamente no es algo que esté en manos del hotel, ya que estamos muy cerca del río Nilo y es obvio que habrá mosquitos. La habitación en general estaba limpia y libre de bichos relacionados a la limpieza. Recomendable 100%, si volviera a Luxor me quedaría ahí nuevamente.

The boss is very enthusiastic to help us with a very reasonable price, arrange the transfer, chartered car to the Temple of Dandela, so that we can enjoy the journey very comfortably, do not worry about being resisted. The most worth mentioning is the location of the hotel. Many attractions are about10-20 minutes away, including the craftsman village of (golden city of stem), the giant statue of Mennon, Temple d'Amon, which makes pharaohs and noble objects in front of the hotel. You can also take a walk in the nearby village to experience the life of the locals. The only fly in the ointment is that the room and bathroom equipment are a bit old, and many lamps are broken, so at night, the room and bathroom light are a little insufficient, and dinner is expensive.

The worst part of the experience was the noise at night. Very difficult to get a good night's sleep. The numerous staff/family operating the hotel are constantly moving and talking, cleaning, climbing and descending the internal stairs. 1 am or 4 am, it doesn't matter, shouting on the phone is considered normal... The ”call to prayer” sounds at 5 am are actually familiar, nice and soothing to me (from hearing them for years in Asia). The loud street noises (motorcycles, boat engines, shouting and music) I can understand and accept. But the stair and courtyard noises and loud talking were completely avoidable, especially since they were not made by tourists (no keys turning, door slamming or trolley dragging). The problem is worse in the small bedrooms with the ”mirror” windows that face the internal stairs. Double the noise (we had room 555). Of course, I clearly and politely mentioned the problem to management after the first bad night. I cannot recommend the terrace restaurant except for breakfast. The view is quite good, the food was decent, but you can get a better, more authentic (and cheaper) experience in the restaurants on the East bank. Other than this, cleanliness was average and the facilities were satisfactory. The Nile balcony view is nice. Also the top terrace view, sunset, sunrise or hot air ballon view was impressive. The staff does seem to try to be accommoding during the day. I can't speak for the tours they offer, we eventually declined them and booked separate temple tours online, but I did not get the sense we were getting any good deals, actuality quite the opposite... We found good local shops in the area (especially the local falafel and sweets shops) and really enjoyed the experiences and products they offered. Overall, as seasoned, curious and open travelers, I wish we could, but we cannot really recommend Spring hotel, unfortunately. Not even if it was less than half the price... Spent 3 nights here in one apartment booked on airbnb (4 people, 2 couples) in December 2023. By the way, at this time you could rent 2 apartments for 2 persons each, at exactly the same price. P.S. I am writing this at 5 am because I cannot sleep, on my last night at the hotel, as someone takes a loud phone call outside...

The hotel is very good. The room in an alley is very big. It is similar to a domestic homestay. The boss is very enthusiastic and there is a letter. You can contact the elevator. It is very good.

Except that the neighbors are raising horses, the smell is quite big, and they are not bad together.

The entrance location of the Karnake Temple is about the middle of the temple on the road from Luxor Temple. The navigation is not possible. The free travel is paid attention to and a large circle is circled. All temple hotels can report small groups with cars and it is convenient.

An absolute charmer of a guest house in central Luxor, Maras presents a level of sophistication and style that’s usually well above my pay grade. Our suite (yes, suite - not just a room but an apartment) is a wall to wall mini museum of tapestry, carpets, classic furniture and local art, tastefully pulled together in a manner that makes you feel like a very honoured guest. And that feeling continues when you engage with Mara, Amr and the team - the most genuinely helpful and supportive people I have met on any holiday, and always willing to go the extra mile for your happiness. If you are reading this while planning a holiday - book it now. Suite 4 is a charmer, say yes when Mar offers you tea (the handmade biscuits were astounding), sign up for the feast and visit Abyssinian and Dendara too!

The hotel is very well placed for visits, located on the West River, and offers direct access to the valley of kings/reines, the Hatchepsout temple, the graves of the artisans, Medinet habu and Nefertari. The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre, and the hotel is located in the heart of the city centre. Family ambience or we feel comfortable with a team always laughing and that can help you organize your visits with excellent quality price ratio. The swimming pool and the charming and relaxing area after a day of sun visit.

Had a really great stay! The hotel is on the West Bank of Luxor which is really beautiful and is nice and quiet. It is close to the Valley of the Kings and also close to the nile which was super convenient. The staff were super friendly and helpful! I forgot my phone charger and one of the staff members let me borrow one from them which I thought was so sweet. The staff were always around to help and were very accommodating. Ate at the hotel restaurant the whole trip and the food was really good. Fahd helped with all of the tours and getting a driver and really went above and beyond to make my trip amazing. The hotel has two pools and the rooftop has beautiful views of the valley and the hot air balloons in the morning. All in all I was very happy with my stay :)

Great Location on the more quiet side of Luxor, The West Bank with a 2 min walk to the ferry crossing point. Only real issue was the dogs that reside outside had a barking match at 4am on night. Stayed for 2 nights, as it was Low season (start of summer) There was only one other guest in the hotel so I had the place to myself inc the swimming pool which was clean and refreshing to use after a day trekking around the local sights. The breakfast wasn’t great but understandable as they couldn’t do their full spread as there wasn’t enough guests to accommodate but it was adequate enough with Egg’s, bread, fruit with coffee and tea, I didnt get to check the rooftop restaurant as i didn’t want them to open due to its quietness, They did accommodate me with a beer on arrival and later by the pool. No Wifi in room but great by the pool area. Also the place a pretty dusty but everywhere in Egypt virtually was so this was not a problem, although the room was very clean with great air conditioning and view of the Nile. Would certainly stay again on my next visit, the locals were fantastic. There is currently construction in front of the hotel of a welcoming plaza for the ferry port which didn’t effect my stay/sleep but will be a wonderful addition once completed.would 100% recommend.

This location, I really can’t compliment it. I feel like I’m in a slum. I wanted to go out for a walk, but many people came to say hello all the way. Although I was not offended, this feeling made me very scared. The whole environment outside is dirty. There is a small room like a stone in the hotel. Fortunately, the garden is really good. The space is very large. The main reason is that there are too few people. It is a little panic. Let alone the wireless network. The whole mobile phone has no signal. . The whole is very depressed. . It was messy outside and the room inside was too small. I really thought about fleeing all night... The main location really scares me 😟

The room we booked was not what we got, but it was comfortable and large. The owner and all of his staff were super nice and he tried to make things right after I showed him the description of what I had booked. In the end, we didn't want to move but should have. The shower in the bathroom did not drain properly and even though we told staff every morning that the water overflowed onto the floor from the shower and they sent someone to fix it, it was never properly working and would overflow. The pool was nice and the location was peaceful, but the hotel was too remote and inaccessible to any restaurant but the hotel restaurant that had limited options on the menu -- probably due to the few guests there were. The breakfast was the same every day and that challenging. I would have loved options, especially fresh mango and fruit from their garden. The mango juice was tasty though and again... the staff was super kind and welcoming.
