The architecture and garden were lovely. There was a terrific orange tree blooming that filled the air with a lovely fragrance. The staff were kind, and we found the food tasty. They do serve alcohol, though it was a bit expensive. The hotel would be very conducive to families with children. The adobe architecture of the rooms were a cool... More

I can not speak highly enough of this hotel. On our last night staying in the Sheherazade my husband became very ill with Typhoid and if it weren't for the staff of this hotel, he wouldn't have survived the night. They went above and beyond their service responsibilities, for which I am very grateful. I really loved this hotel. It's... More

My wife and I enjoyed the stay so much that, upon leaving, were a bit sad. It's unfortunate that tourism is hurting as badly as it is when these wonderful accommodations exist. Room: A described and what we needed for a relaxing escape. Kept very clean and had water/electricity the entire time. Even if we did find a problem, the... More

This is the third time now that I have stayed at this hotel and it never lets me down. After having stayed in the majority of hotels in Luxor, I can definitely say that this is the best one in the area. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with housekeeping that prides itself on creating wonderful and dynamic sculptures with... More

I stayed here for a week in November 2012 with a group and enjoyed a very unique experience. After visiting some of the nearby temples and sacred sites I felt totally enlightened with the most profound ancient knowledge available about Egypt. The roof top terrace was a special place to relax and do some meditation as well as being an... More

Do you want a really good experience of what a hotel in Egypt should be like? Then this is the place for you. It's not one of your Western-type hotels with swimming pool and fitness centre that could be anywhere in the world. It's a place that shows the best of Egypt in atmosphere and friendliness. A great deal of... More

We stayed here for 2 nights over New Years Eve whilst in Luxor and very much enjoyed everything about it and would happily return. I spent a long time researching where to stay and with other positive reviews and deciding on the quieter west bank location decided on this one. We are very pleased we stayed on the west bank,...

Stayed here for 3 nights and was really really disappointed with the place given the earlier reviews on trip advisor and will try my best to articulate it. We had no water and no hot water when we arrived after a long trip and my friend had to take a cold shower after the water was restored. Toilet drainage was... More

I will answer each of the guest’s complaints one by one. 1. The problem with the water and electricity was a problem throughout the whole area when the guests arrived. It would have been the same in any hotel they went to on the West Bank, and unfortunately , this is now a widespread problem for the whole of Egypt.... More

The best thing about this hotel is its beautiful traditional architecture, it has fantastic paintings all over the stairs and sitting area, they depict illustrations from the stories of Arabian Nights. Pros: [*] They can arrange local tours on cab. It's really close from Colossi of Memnon, Ramasseum. [*] We liked the restaurant a lot - it was in the... More
