This efficiently run hotel which we have visited over many years, with both our friends and family, has yet again proved to be as wonderful as ever. For the first year it offers an all inclusive alternative. Something which we were a little apprehensive about as it would not be our normal choice, but we (the family) all agreed it... More

Having just lterally returned last night from a weeks all inclusive stay I would thoroughly recommend the hotel. We travelled as a couple and were very pleased our choice which proves that you cant rely on Tripadvisor as we saw it had had some very negative comments in the past. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean, staff are all fantastic... More

This hotel is an ideal base if you want quietness away from the hustle & bustle of Luxor. For some the distance from the centre could be a handicap. However there is a free boat and a free road shuttle twice per day each. There was a small initial problem that I won't dwell on because it was dealt with... More

I stayed at this hotel with my partner last week and we both had a fantastic time. The setting, (on the bank of the Nile) was tremendous and watching the sun set over the Nile from the 'sundowner' bar was an experience not to be missed. The facilities were many and excellent and the staff were more than helpful, all... More

In our experience, the Sofitel Karnak Hotel holds a 5-star ranking solely on the basis of its amenities, not on its rooms, which we would rate 3-stars, European style. The hotel has a large swimming pool, a separate “kids pool,” several shops, bar, large dining room, a bar and restaurant near the Nile, and (apparently) tennis courts and spa. However,... More

I stayed with my mother in the Sofitel Karnak hotel during my our trip to Egypt in 2008. During this trip we already thought that the hotel is really fantastic - the pool area is large and beautiful, there are several restaurants, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff is friendly... The following years we tried several other hotels... More

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Sofitel Karnak. The location is wonderful, with lovely gardens overlooking the Nile. The accommodation was very good, and the standard of housekeeping excellent. The bar service was ok, perhaps a little pricey, and I found the reception staff to be very helpful, especially helping me to get set up on the... More

Having stayed at the Sofitel Karnak, Luxor, ever since it opened...both as a couple and also as a family at least once (sometimes twice a year) we still keep returning because it's always a peacefully relaxing and throughly enjoyable place for a holiday. The warm and friendly welcome each time we return, the clean and well maintained rooms, the beautiful... More
