It was one of the most amazing experiences I have had on vacation. It's more of a palace than a hotel. The pool area, the rooms, the architecture/design, also the quality of the food. The gardens, the breakfast inner court/patio left us speechless.

The place is really nice, a bit far from the center but they provide a free boat transfer to the other side. The food was very tasty, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. It was also really nice to enjoy the pool with a nice view of the Nile.

Perfect

Check-in We arrived quite late about 10pm but were greeted at reception by Marina who took the time to chat to us about what we wanted out of our stay. Room - Opal Opal was fab: big bed, wonderful air con, the shower had good water pressure. We loved the little gecko 🦎 couple. Breakfast/food Served down by the pool. Lots of condiments (butter, honey, 3 types of cheese, apricot jam, marmalade) and Egyptian bread are provided. We were given a choice of muesli, toast, different types of omelette, fresh bananas from the field next door(maybe?), sweet melon (honey dew or gala?) Lovely coffee. The menu was changed every day. Nice different salads, cooked meats with rice. I had a really nice beef and orange dish which was really good. A choice of a few desserts. My husband is vegetarian/vegan and Marina made such an effort to make sure he had some choices. He said no to the Okra tho! 😂 Excursions The first day we took the free ferry over to the east bank. Before we went we asked about coming back and they gave us the hotel WhatsApp number. We walked 2mins to the main road and there was a bank where we could get money and it was easy to get a taxi down to the temples. When we were ready to go back we got the taxi to drop us off near the bank and messaged the hotel. The boat was there in 5mins. We knew that the hotel offers to book the excursions so we asked for a driver for the West Bank one day. Tarek was so good at explaining everything and such a laugh. Lovely air conditioned car too. We also booked the hot air balloon too. We were the first balloon to lift off but not the last to land. It was amazing! Totally recommend booking through the hotel! Notes This boutique hotel is for people who want a peaceful experience. I loved the view, the birds, the quiet. Towels are provided by the pool and dressing gowns in your room to walk down to the pool. It was fab chatting to Marina, learning more about Egypt and having a laugh.

the quietness of the location and the facilities including pool.

Everything! reality is even better than photos.. starting from the initial contact with Danielle was super smooth and easy, then Mohamed and his team did a wonderful job in making our holidays unforgettable ! We were 3 families with kids of different ages , in total 14 person.. based on our request (with very fair additional cost) Mohamed planned a full program for us for 2 days including bus transportation , amazing tour guide, wonderful boat dinner by sunset , meals .. and more! We couldn't dream of better experience!

The location. The Staff The place

It is quiet and pleasant in the new residential aria in Luxor. Big apartment with big rooms and bathroom. The governor of Luxor is literally living next door and basically you have 24 hours live police guards.

We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Sayed was an extremely friendly and informative host, he helped us to rent bikes, sort out transfer to train stations and just a wealth of information. The property overlooked the nile which was beautiful during sun rise and sun set. As it is in the West side of the bank, it was very peaceful and away from any hustle and bustle which was exactly what we wanted. If you wanted to be close to the major sites, this is a little bit out of the way but definitely still manageable with transfers/cars. Cannot recommend enough and would stay here again.

The flat was very clean and spacious The arrival and communication was very easy
