Karnak Hotel Luxor

Overall, it's okay, nothing special. Pros: The hotel staff were very friendly; they allowed me to check in early even though I arrived at 8:00 AM. Breakfast was served (enough to fill you up, but the selection was limited and didn't quite suit Chinese tastes). Luggage storage was available after check-out. Cons: The hotel facilities were quite old; the Wi-Fi was very slow, almost unusable; it was quite far from the city center (given the unreliable drivers in Luxor, I had to walk an hour to the temples during my stay); the soundproofing was poor, and I occasionally heard banging or knocking from next door or upstairs. Although the room had a refrigerator, it was broken.

The hotel facilities were extremely poor; the sheets and pillowcases were old and blackened! There were no slippers, mouthwash cups, face towels, bath towels, drinking water, tea, kettle, or Wi-Fi! There wasn't even hot water; I asked several times, but it never came! How could Ctrip recommend such a hotel???

Nice hotel, friendly staff. The rooms were cold; I stayed in December, there was no kettle, and the air conditioning didn't work. However, they brought a warm blanket, and the staff responded very quickly to my requests. That was nice. The Karnak Temple is about a 15-minute walk away.

It was nice to have a supermarket next to the hotel. It was far from the city center, so I had trouble exchanging money, but the hotel did it for me. However, the exchange rate was poor. My flight was early in the morning, so when I told them I would be leaving before breakfast started, they made me a bento for breakfast. The owner was kind. The sunset nearby was beautiful.

Fortunately, I chose a hotel on the east bank of Luxor, where both the attractions and living areas are located. There are many supermarkets nearby. Location: Not bad, but it is about one kilometer away from the train station. It is very convenient to the Karnak Temple, but if you go to the Luxor Temple and the ferry terminal⛴️, there is a distance and you need to take a horse carriage. Sanitary facilities: This is the hotel with the best sanitary facilities in Egypt for so many days. Although the sanitary facilities are equivalent to those of domestic three-star hotels, this hotel is very cost-effective for Egypt! There is a dressing table and a TV✌️ Breakfast: I like their fried potato cakes very much, they are delicious. There are also eggs, capsules🫓, etc. You can choose coffee or tea by yourself. Environment: There is an outdoor swimming pool outside the restaurant. Although you can't go into the water in Egypt in winter, it is still great to take pictures after breakfast❤️The sun is so warm☀️ Staff: Very nice. The room I checked in on the first night had no wifi at all, so I was asked to change the room. The last day was a 12:00 am go bus to Cairo, and we were allowed to charge our phone in the restaurant and use the wifi. The old man at the front desk also helped me boil water. It was so touching to drink a cup of hot water in Egypt with a low temperature of 5 degrees. ❤️ Disadvantages: They don’t have hot water 24 hours a day. The water is not very hot. After the shower time, all the water is cold…
