Sofitel Properties in Luxor

I stayed with my parents, three adults in total. When booking, the page stated the room had two 0.8m beds and could accommodate three people, with an extra bed costing more. However, upon arrival, an extra bed had already been added to the room at no additional charge. It was a proper mattress, not a sofa bed, just a bit lower, and quite comfortable. The hotel breakfast was mostly cold, except for hot eggs and one type of hot pancake. You could request hot milk, and the staff were very friendly. Personally, even for cold items, I felt the overall variety was too limited. About 70% were different types of bread, 10% different cheeses, and 20% salads, fruits, and other items. The garden environment was absolutely stunning, but the facilities were a bit old, though still functional. The cleanliness was a bit rough around the edges, typical of some international standards; surfaces seemed clean, but I'd recommend either re-cleaning detailed spots yourself or avoiding touching them. Even the toilet, despite appearing clean in detail, I'd still prefer to use a cover. We had an issue with a missing item in the room. My English isn't great, and after a difficult phone call for 40 minutes with no resolution, I went to the front desk. The issue was resolved within about 10 minutes there. Compared to hotels in China, the value for money isn't great. However, for Luxor, it seems even four or five-star hotels are like this, so others would likely be even worse. It's mainly due to local conditions.

This is a hotel with a rich history. From the overall design and decoration style to the service atmosphere, it feels like stepping back to the Belle Époque in Europe in the late 19th century. The style is luxurious and elegant, and the waiters are polite and well-mannered. Staying in a room facing the Nile, you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset, which is a picturesque sight. In Luxor, you are busy visiting the temples and tombs on the east and west banks every day, but taking an hour to explore the hotel, or taking a nap by the pool, and watching the sunset from the hotel around 6 o'clock is also a wonderful experience. P.S. Leave home early and walk to the Luxor Temple for 7 minutes. You can enjoy a private tour of the temple before it opens. It's just in time to go back to the hotel for breakfast after the tour~
