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.
I stayed here in early January, and while the location is convenient, my experience was mixed. Upon arrival, the reception area was surprisingly dark despite it being daytime—most hotels usually have sufficient lighting. The lobby area, right in front of the rooms, was also dim with no lights, which felt unusual.
The room wasn’t soundproof; I could clearly hear people talking outside, which affected my comfort. The window locks seemed flimsy—you could shake them, and I could feel cold air seeping in, making the nights especially chilly.
Overall, I’m unsure if these issues stem from budget constraints or just maintenance oversight, but better lighting, soundproofing, and secure windows would greatly improve the guest experience.
Excellent hotel with great amenities. The room was clean and very good sized. The bathroom was also clean. We had the breakfast once and it was decent- a live egg station and a large variety of baked stuff, fruits, etc.
However, the hotel had an issue with their water supply. One staff mentioned it was a problem with their water pump and another staff mentioned that it was a general issue in Luxor- I am not sure which is the accurate reason. They did provide water bottles as a substitution to the lack of water and opened up the spa on the mezzanine for showers. We had a 5:30am departure from the hotel so went to take a shower at 3:30 am after confirming with the reception. There was no staff at the spa and I had to figure out which shower to use and find my own set of towels. The least expectation during an issue like this would be to staff the spa and help guests out.
The hotel is located next to the Luxor Temple. You must have breakfast because the restaurant balcony on the fifth floor can see the sunrise, sunset, and night view of Luxor. The breakfast time is 7 o'clock, and the hot air balloons rising from the opposite Valley of the Kings are very beautiful. The hotel is still cost-effective if you book it in advance. You can eat the most authentic white rice in Egypt when you order dinner. The location of the hotel and the restaurant are plus points. There is a market similar to Khalili behind the hotel, which is suitable for souvenir shopping. The guest rooms and toilets are in average condition. Remember to get the room early and check the order. The room type may be different.
The building is very distinctive. In the morning, the light from the holes in the ceiling makes you feel like you are living in a castle. The garden outside is also very beautiful. The outdoor garden environment for breakfast is also excellent. The hotel is next to the river, surrounded by grassland, and you can see cows. However, don't think that what I said is a garden hotel. Because Egypt's overall infrastructure is similar to that of China's second-tier cities 30 years ago, the entire road to the hotel and the surrounding area of the hotel are very shabby and dirty. This is not a problem with the hotel, but a problem with urban infrastructure. The service is very expensive. The waiter is the most decent working state I have seen in Egypt. The attitude is also good, but not particularly warm. There is a sense of distance from the official business. But it is indeed a rare and professional service in Egypt that makes people feel safe. If I go to Luxor again, I may still be willing to choose him, but I have two complaints. One is the way to the hotel. If I take a taxi at night, I will feel scared. It feels like the car takes you to the countryside. The feeling of an alley leading to nowhere is not known. Fortunately, we chartered a car and there is a third party to supervise at any time, so there is no need to worry about anything. The other is the hygiene problem I saw in the comments before. It's strange. My daughter's face was full of lumps after sleeping. This has never happened in other worse hotels. I also brought disposable pillowcases because I read the previous guide. It's just that children don't sleep well and don't necessarily sleep on pillows, so I don't know if it's a problem with bedding or mosquitoes. We checked in January and there were really mosquitoes!
The hotel service is good. When leaving, a detailed feedback was left. I also reported this problem to the hotel and left contact information. The hotel manager is a British lady and feels very dedicated.
The photos are the faces of children after the first and second nights. It's really not easy to keep clean in Egypt. The environment and facilities are too backward, but I hope the hotel can improve. Everything else is perfect. It's one of the good experiences in Egypt.
Very mixed feelings about the experience. Overall I would give 4 stars.
The Bad - only 1. The tour agency. We booked a tour guide and driver to take us to Dendera, Valley of Kings, Valley of Queens and Hatshepsut Temple - this was our itinerary. Our guide took us to all but refused to take us to the Valley of the Queens, instead trying to scam us by taking us to the Alabaster stone factory which was not on our itinerary and despite paying in advance to go to the Valley of Queens instead. The Alabaster stone factory is not a factory, it is a shop to coerce and scam tourists charging $150 for a small piece of rock which many tourists fall for. Tourists at other hotels also complained about this and saw many foreigners being scammed at these so called “factories”. So please be prepared for this and only stick to your schedule that you agreed beforehand.
The Good - the laundry, staff at the hotel (security, waiters, manager) was extremely helpful, kind and friendly. The rooms were amazing and the pool and location was great.
It's a beautiful hotel with beautiful hearts on the west bank of Luxor. It was a 20 min drive from the airport and 15 min drive from Karnak Temple. The view from the rooftop is amazing both morning and night! Great local breakfast too. The room was very clean and basic toiletries were provided.
The hotel is on the east bank of Luxor, by the river, close to the downtown area and not far from the attractions. The room has a river view, the scenery is very good, but the facilities are a bit old, the room is not big, the breakfast has few varieties and is not very delicious.
It is a fabulous raw and Rustic location in theHeart of Luxor. Just for an local life experience, we moved from exotic beach hotel accomodation to this Hotel. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly!! Best part was the Terrace, It is amazing. The photos we shot on it were simply mesmerising!!
The Staff were very very friendly and were always there for us in organize our trips, pick and drops!!
Overall we enjoyed our stay in Happy land Luxor!!

TThomas LudwigThis hotel is perfectly equipped with all you can imagine. Situated in a nice park on the Kings Island, a bit out of town at this splendid view on the Nile River. There are rooms with Nile view. Which are worth to be taken? Some building blocks are a bit apart style, but at economy price.
The hotel also facilitates an exhibition center at a time of exhibition it could be crowded and more pricey.
The personal and waiters on the terrace at peak times quite overloaded, but always very polite 
SSkee82Great Location on the more quiet side of Luxor, The West Bank with a 2 min walk to the ferry crossing point.
Only real issue was the dogs that reside outside had a barking match at 4am on night.
Stayed for 2 nights, as it was Low season (start of summer) There was only one other guest in the hotel so I had the place to myself inc the swimming pool which was clean and refreshing to use after a day trekking around the local sights.
The breakfast wasn’t great but understandable as they couldn’t do their full spread as there wasn’t enough guests to accommodate but it was adequate enough with Egg’s, bread, fruit with coffee and tea, I didnt get to check the rooftop restaurant as i didn’t want them to open due to its quietness,
They did accommodate me with a beer on arrival and later by the pool. No Wifi in room but great by the pool area.
Also the place a pretty dusty but everywhere in Egypt virtually was so this was not a problem, although the room was very clean with great air conditioning and view of the Nile.
Would certainly stay again on my next visit, the locals were fantastic.
There is currently construction in front of the hotel of a welcoming plaza for the ferry port which didn’t effect my stay/sleep but will be a wonderful addition once completed.would 100% recommend.

HHovisYasser and his team are amazing!
The location is brilliant tucked out of way from the busy areas of West Bank but only a 10 min walk to all the shops and restaurants you could want and 15 mins from the ferry to east bank
Mohammad is very polite friendly and also will give you a lift on his motor like to places if you like!
The food I had here was better than alot of the places I ate in my 11 days in Egypt easily top 2
The room was spacious clean and well equipped and the roof top pool and bar were brilliant with a pool table and table tennis.
I was a solo traveler so Yasser and the team offered for me to join them for some food and pool if I wanted to which I enjoyed!
If recommend this place for everyone and anyone 10/10
RRchiThe hotel has a good location. The room was not luxurious but reasonably clean. Hot water comes out well and AC works well. The biggest reason to choose this hotel is that the staff are very friendly. Also the breakfast was reasonably good. After a hot day of travel, it's great to swim in the pool. The boss of the hotel offered an affordable tour, which I liked very much. I want to say thank you.
