The hotel was under refurbishment when we arrived, the manager upgraded our room to a small vila in the village. The service was the best among all the hotel we lived during the trip. when we arrived, the manager offered us cold drinks first, which was really considerate. The vila is in another location, but the hotel manager arranged staffs to come and cook breakfast for us. The breakfast was super good, even better than what you get from the restaurant. The day when we leave the hotel, the manager also arranged a transfer service. Many businesses in Egypt only want to get more money from your pocket. But this hotel, I felt that the manager put all his attention on making the guests more comfortable.

Nothing.

The hotel itself was my favorite of the 3 I stayed in during my Egypt trip. The owner and staff were beyond welcoming—I was taken on a personal tour of the area by the owner, including hearing stories about his family's life in the area over generations and having what I think were freshly picked olives from a tree we passed. He warned me about common local scams, recommended what's worth seeing, and personally walked me to the ferry so that I reach it without getting harassed away by motorboat/felucca owners. He was always ready to help, including when an excursion canceled on me last-minute, and checked in on how I'm doing throughout my stay. The majestic courtyard from the photos really is as great as it looks, and it was pleasantly cool sitting there for a post-breakfast coffee. Speaking of breakfast, it’s the best of classic Egyptian: 2 falafel (deliciously moist!), a small portion of foul (slow-cooked beans), cream cheese, sliced tomato and cucumber, Egyptian bread, and a 2-3 egg omelette, as well as pre-packed jam and honey. You’d get a pitcher of hot water, and can make however much coffee or tea you desire. Everything was “plated to order”, and I was always too full to finish all of it. I still dream of their falafel & foul today. I enjoyed breakfast indoors and in the courtyard, but I’m sure you could also take it up to the roof terrace for a great view over the town & Nile—I simply didn’t feel like climbing all those stairs first thing in the morning, but did head up there some evenings for nighttime views, and once at sunrise to watch the hot air balloons parade across. Re: location - the West Bank is a calmer spot than the East, but with only a 10-15min walk to the ferry thru mostly unpaved, but very comfortable streets, I'm very glad I chose it. Beware of a donkey one street over, by the stables: he started yelling from the shadows as I passed by my first night there and nearly gave me a heart attack!

The room was enough space for a solo traveler for a few nights, but I could see a couple struggling to fit open suitcases and themselves in without having to walk across the bed, at least in the room I had.

The hotel staff was genuinely interested in with my safety in the city and they helped me to organize my traveling inside Egypt. From day 1 till I leave, they offered their help to me and they were very helpful. I appreciate them. Mr. Makarious was a great host.

Near hotel area and generally in Luxor, locals sometimes make it difficult to just walk around city, they offer to sell you something a lot unfortunately but it's not hotel's fault.

I am glad to have spent 3 nights in Luxor at the Al Hambra hotel. It was basic and clean but very good value for money. Although I had breakfast included I did not use the restaurant as I had early morning start to the tours in Luxor. However the staff organised a pack for me to have after i came back from tour. The room was very clean had a balcony and aircondition since it was hot during the day. All of the staff were amazing polite and provided a very good hospitable service. They are so frienldly and geniuine that you feel you are patt of their family. Very good position on the westbank close to all cafes and eateries but very peaceful at night. Thank you for making my visit in Luxor an amazing one. I will stay here again when visiting Luxor in the future.

Everything was perfect.

The building is beautiful. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Has a good AC and good internet. Is very close walking to get a motorboat to across the Nile to Luxor East. $100.00 Egyptian pounds more or less.the owner and staff are very friendly.

Lot flies for everywhere so, is impossible open and enjoy the beautiful balcony. Ask an insecticide for the room or bring yours, we did it!!!.

From the hotel terrace, we could see hot balloons afar at sunrise time. The terrace view was good and the hotel building has a beautiful structure.

Towels were not provided in the hotel room. We also had to ask for a hairdryer and get it from reception by ourselves at the late night. Our sleep was bothered by mosquitos but there was nothing we can do.

great service the owner and staff were very hospitable the hotel was emmaculate be sure to visit notable sites like habu temple

the location is tucked away off the main road on the west bank and to the unfamiliar traveler may be a bit difficult to access. the main sites are on the east bank. which is a distance by minibus or taxi I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the minibuses the taxis will scam you. also it would be wise to install an elevator for travelers with excess luggage there was none when I visited. but hospitality was top quality many thanks they made the trip memorable.

Beautiful architecture and well located on the West Bank of Luxor (around 10 minute walk from where the ferry docks). Breakfast was great - consisting of a typical Egyptian breakfast of beans, tahini, bread, eggs and fresh juice / tea. A great driver was booked through the reception, to tour the Valley of the Kings and various temples.

Slightly earlier breakfast times would be great (from ~7am).

The staff was very nice and helpful. It's very astonishing to see such beatiful decorations once you get in the hotel. the location is very close to the Ferry stop, walking distance. Highly recommend it, you will find it very enjoyable.

Great place to stay when in luxor with nice rooms and rooftop area with good view. The hotel staff were very friendly, helpful and did not try to sell you anything unless you asked them to help you book.

Nothing
