Amazing location, overlooking Luxor temple and The Nile (ask for a room from second floor up to see The Nile.)

You are in de middle of the eastbank of Luxor, Luxor Temple in front with sight on the Nile, Valley of the Kings and the rest of the westbank and at the back the souq and the rest of the towncentre. The rooms are clean and the breakfast is ok. The staff is willing to help you with whatever you ask.

Great location! We were very glad that we asked upon arrival for a room overlooking the Nile's West Bank, the view from the 5th floor was breathtaking- it was well worth the some US$15 extra. We walked from the train station; it was easy to find. Our room was extremely clean and well equipped, with comfortable beds. The restaurant was very good and very reasonably priced- the Continental breakfast provided was better than anywhere I've stayed in the Middle East- and it offered a great range of Egyptian and "international" food.

Great for those looking for the security of home and a retreat from the Midday Heat (or hassling street vendors and taxi and horse carriage drivers). On the same token, a tad sterile if you are looking for an authentic Egyptian experience, but even we didn't begrudge it's creature comforts once touched by a a dose of Egypt-Belly each (from the food and/or water on the train from Cairo).
