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!

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

The Old Winter Palace is the grand old dame of Luxor. The hotel is extremely atmospheric. However, it needs to be clearly said that an upgrade of the rooms will soon be needed. However, this did not impact my general impression of the hotel. I had a classic room on the third floor, with Nile view. The room had a balcony, which was brilliant. The hotel staff are all extremely kind and helpful. The restaurants (I tried the 1886, the La Corniche, as well as the pool-side restaurant) were all very good, and the service was excellent. breakfast in la corniche was good. What I would suggest here would be to open the windows for some fresh air - and possibly even considering an the construction of an outside terrace. Variety of food and quality of food was great. Coffee was served in a French coffee press. - It feels hard to describe the hotel - it just felt ”right”. I would defnitely stay there again, and will recommend to others.

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.

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

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

We arrived at midnight for a one night stay and left in the morning to see the temples. Good location. Friendly staff. My only suggestion would be to provide better directions to find the 6th floor as the elevator stops on the 5th, and there was no signage to direct us towards our room. It was confusing and took longer than expected to find where we needed to go even with directions from the front staff.

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.

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

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.
