When the driver pulled up to the location to drop us off, I was a little confused. The front of the hotel faces the alley instead of the main street. Check in was easy and the staff spoke English very well. Everyone in the middle east uses WhatsApp to communicate including this hotel. This hotel is at the entrance to the souk and within walking distance of several restaurants. Also within 5 mins walking distance of Luxor temple and the mummification museum. You could also walk to Karnak but it be 20+ minutes. Or there are taxi drivers on the main street outside or carriage drivers eager to transport you with their "ferrari". Valley of kings, queens, and nobles is across the Nile so you would need to arrange a ferry or driver to get there. The hotel contracts with a travel service that can book excursions or transfers for you which we choose to do. We had them arrange our pickup at Qena station to take us to Dendera, then back to hotel. We had them arrange a sunset felucca ride and our transfer to Aswan. All transfers and excursions went well and all were on time with friendly drivers. One of them even stopped and got us all fresh sugar cane juice. Now for the hotel itself, breakfast was amazing. Lots of variety and on the rooftop with beautiful views. Everything was fresh and delicious. The shower in our room never ran out of hot water and had excellent pressure (this is rare to find in Egypt). In fact, we only ever used the shower at half pressure and half heat because it was almost too much. Our housekeeper would clean our rooms daily and even rolled the towels into animals. The first day, we came back to a crocodile. The second day was a turtle. We were leaving early the next morning and he was so upset because he was already trying to plan what he was going to leave us next. Very great staff for sure. We also dined at the restaurant that is in the alleyway in front of the hotel. The food there was also superb. Best value for money in Egypt

Since it is right next to the souk, depending on the room you are in, you can hear the music from the souk until pretty late at night. Also the touts from the souk can and will follow you until you are within the entryway of the hotel trying to sell their wares. This was mostly from the child touts. The hotel staff scares them off if they follow you into the entryway itself though or if you are dining at the restaurant. Lastly, the shower curtain in the shower is pulled around in such a way that it will stick to you while you shower. I don't know why, but this always gives me heebie jeebies. I started just leaving the curtain open and then squeegeeing the tile into the drain afterwards.

I liked many things about the Property. The staff is super helpful, polite and kind The manager Reem was excellent and all staff spoke english. The bedroom was comfortable and it has fridge, electric kettle and hair dryer. All works top notch. Air conditioner is also pretty new and excellent. Amazing Al Sahaby restaurant on roof top. My room was 4th floor and thats where restaurant is. The place isolates noise from outside so slept good. Local Bazar is downstairs. Breakfast is exceptionally amazing with views of hot air balloon, luxor temple, avenue of sphinxes and the Nile. Museum, Temples and Transportation is Excellent. Location is very convenient for pick and drop of many things. Dinner food in restaurant is excellent. The restaurant has roof top terrace (next to my room) as well as in street level. Horse carriages are right outside the hotel. So overall amazing stay.

1. There is NO LIFT. It could be problematic for many people. 2. Bathroom is tiny and claustrophobic- although bedding, towels and hygiene was excellent. 3. Rooms are old fashioned and don’t have basic latches from inside. You have to physically put key to lock from inside the room. On second day, my key got stuck in the locked door from inside and I was locked for 20 minutes while my guide waited outside. Staff came to help and I left. Upon my return, the whole lock of door was replaced new. It worked seemless and staff was very kind, considerate and cooperative. I would happily return to this place again.

The hotel is good. The room is clean. The bed is made daily. They also provide water and coffee/tea daily. The staff strives to meet our needs and do everything possible to please the customer. The view from the terrace/restaurant is simply incredible. The food in the restaurant and at breakfast is very tasty and you can see that everything is very clean. I was able to take a tour tailored to my interests instead of a pre-made itinerary for a much better price than with travel agencies (usually, when hotels offer tours they end up being much more expensive, but that was not the case here at this hotel, so I recommend researching the tours with them before booking somewhere else).

I found the room very small, with very little space to move around. It was cramped because we had to leave our bags and backpacks blocking the way. The view from the room was not the best, as there was a land full of rubbish next door. The bathroom was also very small, and the shower area was very narrow. I could always feel the cloth curtain brushing against my body. But these little details can be ignored of course, so we give 9 from 10. For the price, it is a good option in Luxor for sure.

perfect location and restaurant

Everything's good until the airport transfer. I payed 12 usd for the car to airport and I accepted the price. No problem. When I arrived, the driver asked me for tips. I refused and the driver seemed unhappy and annoyed. If the car is 100 egp, of course I can give you tips. But the car is 12 usd, the driver even wants tips? That's ridiculous. Please remember though we are foreigners, we are not ATM. Five stars for the hotel, one star for the driver.

This was the perfect location in Luxor and the staff were really friendly and helpful. I was checked in by Reem who was very friendly and was available for any issues I had, but I had none as the place was fantastic. Housekeeping (Muhammad) was excellent and went above and beyond, re-tuning the TV for me and keeping the room spotless during my stay. I could practically see my reflection in the bathroom floor. He takes pride in his work and I hope the hotel appreciates it. The room and bathroom were spacious and very good value for money. If I'm ever in Luxor again I will stay here again, and I'll be recommending this hotel to family and friends who are over that way. Thanks for a great stay. P.S Ask about the tours they offer. I did a West Bank tour of Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and Colossi of Memnon through the hotel and had the best time. One of the best tours I've ever been on and excellent value for money. You won't regret it.

The location is excelent, and personnel where very helpful, specially Mariana, they help me With everything I need, transfer, trips everything, the restaurant above is very good, I will come back again! If you book at this hotel talk with te hotel personnel for transfers from airport, they can arrange anything for you. Trust your hotel manager

don’t trust taxi drivers, don’t exchange money at them for eny reasons ! I had a very bad experience with taxi drivers that I randomly pick!

Loved the location, the friendliness of the staff, and the clean facilities. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. Breakfast was also very delicious, and served in the rooftop restaurant overlooking the Luxor temple and the Nile. Just fabulous.

The hotel has an authentic North Africa vibe, and is located right next to the souk, so there is some noise. I loved this, as it felt like a real adventure. But I can see it won't be for everyone.

*Restaurant and the roof top is amazing!!! Good Egyptian food, (Camel burgers, meals, desert,salads) awesome view. Breakfast is buffet and is Great as well. *Location is pretty good just some steps from the luxor temple and the staff eas friendly. (Just 1 guy at the restaurant was kinda rude but anyways...) *There is also complementary coffee and tea in the room and we love it!!! This is by far the best hotel we stayed in our whole trip to Egypt!!!!

The bathroom is very small and there's not a limited area for shower and toilet so you have to manage to get a shower in such a small place, and there is not lift/elevator even though is a 4 floors building.

We had the most fantastic stay at this family run hotel. The owners nephew (sorry I can’t remember your name) on reception a young man was so helpful and would go out of his way to make sure our stay was comfortable. Also the young lady on reception was amazing helping us with directions and any questions we had. The whole team at Nefertiti hotel were just the best. Do not let the scammers outside put you off! If you say no thanks and keep moving they will leave you alone. The location of this hotel is ideal opposite the Luxor temple and a 10 minute walk from the train station. The breakfast option - there’s just so much choice and it’s all delicious.

Nothing.

The hotel was very central. The rooftop restaurant had a great view over the luxor temple. There was a very good selection for breakfast.

There was a kettle with coffee available, and a fridge in the room, but nowhere to plug them in. Beware of the horse carriage drivers, taxi drivers and anyone else st the end of the lane, they just hassle you and try to con you.
