Shady Hotel Luxor

Отель в центре, просто и чисто

I don't recommend this place for Japanese people. Even though you are tired and want to check in, they try to sell you tours. The toilet doesn't flush and there are no beddings. The shower only has hot or cold water. The only good thing about it is that Luxor Temple is within 1km. Car charter is also a rip-off, so be careful.

Located in the old town, the price is very high, and there is a free breakfast in the morning. The breakfast includes local whole wheat cakes, with mashed beans, cheese, a few slices of tomatoes and cucumbers, a fried egg, and a cup of coffee. Although the room is a bit old, it has a small balcony and the price is very reasonable.

It's close to the station, but the road to the hotel is not well-maintained (this is true throughout Egypt), so if you have large luggage, it might be better to take a taxi. The hotel will arrange anything, including felucca, balloon, and transfer to the ruins. I had already booked the balloon and transfer to the ruins, so they arranged the felucca, but the time... I think the time was a little early. I came back just as other tourists were going out to the Nile to watch the sunset... To be honest, I think I would have been more satisfied if I had directly negotiated with the boatman along the Nile at the time of the scenery I wanted to see. Hot water came out well and the water pressure was perfect. The only amenities were bar soap. There was no hair dryer in the room. I used one I brought with me, so I'm not sure if I can borrow one from the front desk. There was a bathtub, but it wasn't cleaned. In fact, the drain was clogged from the beginning, and my hair got mixed in, which was awful. The refrigerator was very cold, but I wonder if the air conditioner is controlled by the front desk? It didn't turn on even when I pressed the switch, so I asked the front desk and they turned it on for me. There is an elevator. The clogged bathtub was the worst, but the hotel staff were all so kind (I told them I needed glue and they went out of their way to buy it for me!), and it was the only relief I felt in the rip-off town of Luxor lol. Thank you for your help.

When you check in, you are recommended to take a hot air balloon tour, but if you decline, there is no problem. The room key is difficult to open. When I broke the room key, the hotel owner Abjin and the other staff were very gentlemanly. However, they ask for a tip right away lol
