Steigenberger Hotels in Luxor

The hotel was okay. The facilities were good and the staff are very helpful. The room is a little dated but still very nice and clean with an amazing pool. We were upgraded to a Nile view which was nice. The sunsets by the pool are also gorgeous. Great location as base for day trips in Luxor. The only annoying thing was being pestered by vendors to buy at their shops inside the hotel(some wouldn’t take “no, thank you” for an answer), I understand they need to keep business going but all I wanted to do was relax by the pool after a long day of touring and fighting off vendors all day. The food here is also awful (gave free school hostel food vibes), we tried dinner twice and room service in addition to daily breakfast . We paid about 3000EGP for 1 buffet dinner and it was definitely not worth it. Our least favourite food from our 2weeks around Egypt. You can pay less for delicious food elsewhere. The stay here was okay and staff were generally friendly and nice. No expectations of or demanding tips.

This is a hotel with a great view along the Nile River. In the morning you can see the balloon climbing. When I asked to book a transfer to and from the airport, I was told that the hotel would not be able to accommodate me. They told me to find my own travel agent or negotiate with a cab outside. The city itself is touristy and the beer was more expensive than at the Cairo Hilton.
