Hotels near First Pylon Luxor Temple, Luxor

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.

On West Bank walking distance to 5 min ferry ride to East Bank!! Everything about this stay was absolutely beautiful. Don’t be fouled by the small dirt road off the beaten path, to the backroad entrance. Once you walk in and turn left WOW, stunning! Beautiful architecture with a fountain, plants, flowers, fruit trees, inviting rooms, some with balconies overlooking green fields. The meditation, yoga, prayer dome BEAUTIFUL such a gift and appreciated! There is a lovely pool in the shade with pool towels and lounge chairs. The food delightful cooked in a clean kitchen in an out building. Food was prepared with love 💕 the whole staff are so helpful and appreciative that we were staying at Embrace. We stayed in family room 202. King bed with 3 twin beds. Lots of space not crowded. A full bath (shower, sink, toilet) with another toilet room and an additional sink. View of Valley of the King/Queen mountain. Bedding is very comfortable and mattresses look new. Two floors with beautiful staircases and an elevator if needed. For my taste, likes, needs and comfort level, I can not think of a better place to stay and we travel multiple times a year to different countries.

We had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel. Food was excellent and reasonably priced, my children especially enjoyed the food. Service in the hotel was excellent with welcoming staff, good response times and what felt like personalised service from several staff members. We came to Luxor to see the historical sites and the location is well suited for these,. The hotel has a great view across the Nile..... our first morning we woke up to see the hot air ballons flying high above the West Bank.... beautiful.Transportation to these sites was really well organised and realistically priced, I thoroughly recommend the in hotel transportation service. A special mention goes to Clara who not only was very knowledgeable about all the trips but also went out of her way to ensure that if there were any issues with your arranged trip, she would do everything she could to resolve them satisfactorily and keep you readily informed. No negatives observed in our 4 night stay.

Lovely hotel right on the Nile in Luxor. Rooms are sufficiently spacious and very clean. They have everything you would expect from a five star hotel. Pool area was gorgeous. We at the Thai restaurant one night, it was decent although service a little slow. There are other good restaurants nearby within walking distance. Great base for our Luxor trip.

Peaceful place on the bank of the Nile away from the busy areas where you can relax. The grounds and views of the Nile are beautiful. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and happy, especially Ahmed (nephew of the owner) who was lovely to me and my son and really looked after us when we went to have a look around the west bank. The owner and his wife were also lovely and we felt very safe there. You can get food there and they can organise cars and trips. If you like walking, you can walk and get the ferry or one of the many independent boats across to the east bank. Although it is away from the sites of the east bank, it is quiet and peaceful and you will appreciate that at the end of a busy day of sight seeing and haggling. Would definitely return.

We arrived in Luxor extremely tired after a 10hr journey on a sleeper train from Cairo. On approaching the hotel our taxi driver asked us why here? … I’ll tell you why here… The Jewel Howard Carter hotel is a dazzling oasis on Luxors West Bank. The staff that greeted us were friendly and welcoming allowing us to check in super early . Our room was extremely comfortable with a view of the garden and the sound of birdsong ( much nicer than the sound of Cairo traffic!) The staff were able to book us a wonderful driver for the 2 days we were here, he took us to the east bank for lunch, sightseeing , stopping at a local bar for Egyptian tea, then day 2 sightseeing on the West Bank. They also arranged for a tuktuk to take us to our sunset felucca trip on the Nile. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious and as we had an early flight they even gave us breakfast to go! Shukran Said and your wonderful staff for making us feel so welcome

This is really a hidden gem in Luxor! It’s on the quiet west bank and near to Valley of king, queen, nobles, artists! The Arabic style room, building and garden meet all my imagination about Tales from 1001 nights! The owner is such a kind lady. She will arrange cars and tours at very reasonable price! They also have the best food and coffee in Luxor! The menu changes every day!! All the staffs are also so kind and helpful! They will have new buildings by end of 2024. If I ever come back to Luxor, I will definitely stay here again and longer! My best memory in Egypt!

One of the best hotels in which I have stayed. It was overall an amazing experience. First, professional staff and very friendly, from reception to restaurant and room service, all was amazing. The room was clean and fully equipped with everything that a guest might need. When faced with a problem they quickly try to solve it. Also they were very trust worthy. I happened to lose my sunglasses and they kept them safe for me to pick them up. The view from the nile side was stunning, I strongly recommend picking a room with that view, it’s totally worth the additional fee. The breakfast was also delicious with variety of choices and so was the dinner. This stay is totally worth 5 stars

This hotel is a special place. Its location is absolutely the best for the West Bank sites ( if you like to walk like we do, Valley of the queens, Valley of the Nobles, Deir el Medina or the Ramesseum are reachable within 20 to 30 minutes) If you want transportation you just go to the street and soon a tuk-tuk, car or taxi will stop and you can agree on a price. Just one warning : do not do this at 7.30 in the morning or so because everybody is rushing to work and there are no empty cars that will take you to a touristdestination or even to the ferry (3 kms from the hotel). The hotel of course can take you anywhere but you will have to give a notice beforehand, the price will be fixed and higher, but you will have a nicer car too. We had a room on the topfloor and we absolutely loved it. Very well furnished with a matching design, good wardrobe, big enough balcony with seating and functional bathroom. The view over the very well cared for property, the fields, the balloons in the morning giges you an instant holidayfeeling. The only thing that bothered a bit was the plastic cover of the matress because of the cracking sound but we easely understand the hygenic reasons for it. We had several dinners here and were honestly surprised by the quality of the food (crispy fresh salads, hummus with nice presentation, refined egyptian pastry) and the very nice and friendly service. The friendly service and quality is also present at breakfasttime with fresh juice and Lavazza coffee and more than enough food. There is one more very special thing about The New Memnon Hotel : Mr Sayed, the owner is besides his concern about the guests, also a very caring person for everybody who workes in this community of a small hotel that wants to give quality to its clients but also more quality of life through a better income for its dedicated workers. Instead of a tipbox you will be asked if you want to contribute an amount on top of your bill so he can distribute it to everyone who keeps this hotel such excellent value. Be sure they will be thankfull.
