3-Star Hotels in Luxor Governorate, Egypt

This hotel is a hidden gem in Luxor. The hotel is in an excellent place downtown and my room was neat, clean, and plenty cool thanks to the AC. The manager Mustafa was also very kind and really helped make my stay here special. When I come back to Luxor, I will definitely come back here and enjoy the views from their pool balcony!

Without a doubt, the best thing about the Hotel is its staff. Especially Wael and Mohamed, they made my stay worth it, great hosts, with amazing customer orientation. Great professionals. The rest of the staff very friendly too. The location is great, the pool views are the best you can get in Luxor. Best place to enjoy the most welcoming view having a Beer at the pool. You can see the sunset from your pool , room was clean and comfortable and breakfast buffet was good.

The hotel is not the best in Luxor. It is not on the Nile river nor does it have a fancy presence on the road. But for an inexpensive but clean hotel this is the best in Luxor. The prices are great, the location is within walking distance of Luxor temple, and the staff is excellent. We went with a business group of 75 people and they accommodated our every need and went above and beyond in the meals and dealing with all the issues that came up. Highly recommend.

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

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

It's been just over a month since our trip to Luxor with an absolutely wonderful stay at the Djorff Palace and I cannot recommend it enough. From the absolutely stunning architecture to the carefully appointed rooms - we had the pleasure of staying in Pearl, Emerald and Sapphire - which are all individually curated by the owner, to the wonderful menu that changed daily, I just cannot say enough. Our mornings were spent exploring sites of Luxor, and afternoons spent laying by the gorgeous pool as we readied ourselves for a cozy dinner either upstairs in the interior dining room or downstairs where you can dine under the stars at the main restaurant. On the topic of the restaurant, I need to reiterate again, the menu. Not only did it change daily, every item on the menu was absolutely delicious and never was there a repeat. Located very close to all that Luxor has to offer with either a short trip across the Nile on the resort owned ferry to the East Bank, or a less than 10-15 minute drive from the resort to the sites on the West Bank, the Djorff palace is where you want to be. On leaving the Djorff, it felt more like leaving family behind rather than a hotel and team of staff. Not only were all of Dr. Marinas team wonderful but the Doc herself is a beautiful person who is not just there to manage her resort, but welcome you to her home. I travelled from the Caribbean to this wonderful place, and I cannot wait to go back.

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.

Excellent west bank location, plenty of restaurants around. Good bed and warm shower. Easy access to Luxor East Bank using hotel recommended boat contact and the boat to yourself, inexpensive!! Very attentive host (can) arrange all for you, up to you. We took their recommended felucca ride at sunset, fantastic and good value. Their Temple visit to Dendara and Seti tombs, excellent, can be pricey as a private tour, well worth it. We had room 507 with stunning views across the Nile to Luxor palace. Always helpful staff

El Nakhil was recommended by our tour agency and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The place is clean, and comfortably furnished. Our room had a private balcony which looked out over a lovely courtyard. The bathroom was modern and boasted what had to be the best hotel towels ever--these were custom made for El Nakhil and are made of soft, thick Egyptian cotton. The hotel is located on a narrow road at the edge of the village. It's a short walk to the ferry and the riverbank past houses painted with colorful murals depicting the owners' journey to Mecca for the Haj. The area is very safe. Except for the cab and tuk tuk drivers at the ferry landing no one will hassle you here and even these guys will take no for an answer. The only down side about the location is that it's right down the street from a mosque so expect an early wakeup as the faithful are called to prayer. My husband called it ”the complete Egyptian experience”. I came to enjoy it--a reminder that we were immersed in a very different culture. Must of the time the cooing of pigeons interspersed by the calls of other birds in the hotel courtyard are the loudest thing you'll hear. The rooftop restaurant is first rate--a regular visitor to Luxor told us it's the best place on the West Bank--with a nice mix of Egyptian and European dishes all at reasonable prices. Beer and wine is available and quite affordable. They even had pizza! My husband gave it a thumbs up and he's from New Jersey where we take our pizza seriously. Finally, the staff is great! They truly go out of their way for you. Our time in Luxor was taken up with pre-arranged tours but if you want, the manager can help you arrange drivers, guides, horse and bike rentals--whatever you need. No pressure--no hassle. Need laundry done? You'll get it back the same day all neatly folded and for a reasonable price too. Do you have any special breakfast requests? No problem. Finally, the policy here is that tips are shared by the entire staff and given as a gift at the end of your stay. Once again--no hassle. If you are the kind of person who likes small hotels which may not have every amenity under the sun but does all the basics with style and where you are treated as an individual I think you'll like this place. We did.

Muy buen hotel 3 estrellas para los estándares egipcios. Lindas instalaciones y habitaciones acorde al precio. Lo mejor de todo fue la atención de Ahmed, quien nos recibió con té y café de cortesía, fue muy atento en todo momento y nos ayudó con el almuerzo y el transporte al valle de los reyes y al aeropuerto. El hotel no sirve almuerzo, solo desayuno. Tiene una terraza hermosa en el techo desde donde se puede ver Hatshepsut y los globos aerostático en la mañana. Tiene un pequeño minimarket/panadería a la vuelta con snacks, bebidas y cosas de aseo personal, pregunten bien el precio de las cosas antes de comprar (como referencia, un jugo en caja o una oreo vale £10 libras egipcias). Recomendaciones: 1. el hotel queda en la costa oeste, a unos 300 metros de donde te deja el ferry público (que solo vale £10 libras egipcias para los turistas) por lo que es recomendable tomar un taxi (nos costó £450 libras egipcias) desde el aeropuerto hasta el ferry y cruzar y caminar esas calles, aunque la mitad de ese tramo es camino de tierra. Por la noche puede dar susto caminar por ahí, pero notamos que la gente local se conoce y no se corre peligro. 2. Si quieren facilit**** la vida, pregúntenle a Ahmed por chofer personal, quien también se llama Ahmed y vive cerca y es confiable. Pagamos $30 dólares para que nos llevara al valle de los reyes, colosos y hapshetsut y nos esperó todo lo que quisimos, además de darnos una explicación de todo el lugar mientras manejaba. Lo recomiendo para andar relajado sin esperar a ser estafado por otros taxistas. 3. La habitación solo trae una toalla y no tiene secador de pelo, pero simplemente hay que pedirle a Ahmed y los facilita. 4. Tuvimos que batallar contra unos pocos mosquitos en la habitación, pero nada que no se pudiera manejar. Obviamente no es algo que esté en manos del hotel, ya que estamos muy cerca del río Nilo y es obvio que habrá mosquitos. La habitación en general estaba limpia y libre de bichos relacionados a la limpieza. Recomendable 100%, si volviera a Luxor me quedaría ahí nuevamente.

Good, big apartment, we slept in the nearest bedroom (they only 3). Mattress, pillows comfortable, great sleep. Water pressure is good, towels, bed linen clean, cotton. Each room has a heater. A beautiful living room, there is everything in the kitchen to cook. We have arranged a transfer to the airport, thank you.

Currently staying here and this place is great. Mahmoud makes you feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble. He arranged a hot air balloon trip for us and he did not disappoint. We will definitely come back here. The rooftop is amazing and so is the view of the Valley of the Kings.

This location, I really can’t compliment it. I feel like I’m in a slum. I wanted to go out for a walk, but many people came to say hello all the way. Although I was not offended, this feeling made me very scared. The whole environment outside is dirty. There is a small room like a stone in the hotel. Fortunately, the garden is really good. The space is very large. The main reason is that there are too few people. It is a little panic. Let alone the wireless network. The whole mobile phone has no signal. . The whole is very depressed. . It was messy outside and the room inside was too small. I really thought about fleeing all night... The main location really scares me 😟

Great 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.

The hotel is very well placed for visits, located on the West River, and offers direct access to the valley of kings/reines, the Hatchepsout temple, the graves of the artisans, Medinet habu and Nefertari. The hotel is located in the heart of the city centre, and the hotel is located in the heart of the city centre. Family ambience or we feel comfortable with a team always laughing and that can help you organize your visits with excellent quality price ratio. The swimming pool and the charming and relaxing area after a day of sun visit.

Had a really great stay! The hotel is on the West Bank of Luxor which is really beautiful and is nice and quiet. It is close to the Valley of the Kings and also close to the nile which was super convenient. The staff were super friendly and helpful! I forgot my phone charger and one of the staff members let me borrow one from them which I thought was so sweet. The staff were always around to help and were very accommodating. Ate at the hotel restaurant the whole trip and the food was really good. Fahd helped with all of the tours and getting a driver and really went above and beyond to make my trip amazing. The hotel has two pools and the rooftop has beautiful views of the valley and the hot air balloons in the morning. All in all I was very happy with my stay :)

It's been just over a month since our trip to Luxor with an absolutely wonderful stay at the Djorff Palace and I cannot recommend it enough.

Not only were all of Dr. Marinas team wonderful but the Doc herself is a beautiful person who is not just there to manage her resort, but welcome you to her home. I travelled from the Caribbean to this wonderful place, and I cannot wait to go back.

We stayed at the Jewel Howard Carter for two nights and had an absolutely fantastic experience. It’s in a beautiful spot, across the river from the center of Luxor, and very easy to get to and from the main historic sites. The Valley of the Kings is a short drive away, and to get to Karnak and Luxor temples is an easy boat ride. The staff at the hotel are extremely welcoming and helpful. The receptionist Azza did a great job arranging our visit to the tourist sites and generally making sure we had a good stay, and the service staff were great both in the mornings and the evenings. The restaurant onsite serves delicious food, a lot of which comes from the hotel’s own garden. Strongly recommend this place!
