The hotel is superb. Beautiful architecture and rooms in a very relaxed and welcoming setting. The outdoor pool and well sheltered garden area are perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing in the hot sun. The staff are amazing, incredibly helpful and friendly and always on hand to offer advice and assistance with the local area. The hotel's pet cat and her kittens were also friendly and a great addition. The families living around the hotel are wonderful and very welcoming, it is a very safe area of Luxor. The hotel manager very kindly organised a car and driver for us to take us to the sights we wanted to see, without sending us on a pre-determined tour of souvenir shops that other tour operators will sometimes do, this was wonderfully helpful and allowed us to make the most of our days in Luxor. The Embrace Hotel is the perfect place for anyone travelling to Luxor to see the sights, or just looking for somewhere to relax for a few days while traveling, we had a much better time in the area than other tourists, thanks to the Embrace.

Location is great, walking distance to the public ferry and in a quiet street. Rooms are clean, spacious, quiet, cool and comfortable. Pool is a bonus in the afternoon after the site visits. Breakfast is correct, just make sure if you want to start early to let them know the night before otherwise it might not be put out yet. even though they say they start at 6am (but we were there during Ramadam so that might have caused delay in the morning).

Attention to detail during the day could be better. Tables outside had dirty table cloths and on one of our mornings were not cleaned from the day before. Swimming pool is great, however would be better if staff could attend during the afternoon and remove the used towels from the chairs. Garden is lovely but would look even better if a gardener gave it some TLC. Small details though, overall we loved our stay.

We loved the staff at the Embrace! They are honestly the best thing about the hotel! They made staying at the hotel so welcoming. Mohammed makes the best strawberry shake and Egyptian tea. The facilities (rooms and garden) are beautiful! and buffet breakfast is really enjoyable. It was easy to book hot air balloon trip through the hotel at a good value and was a great trip!

There were a few things that didn’t work 100% in the hotel, but even with this I would still book and recommend this hotel in Luxor! 1. Inconsistent internet coverage in rooms and public areas. 2. In-room mini refrigerator did not work 3. Pool was not clean enough for a swim (acknowledging that we went in Egypt’s winter so this could be why the pull wasn’t ready for guests)

Cozy and beautiful hotel. The staff is very nice and helpful. The rooms are big and the bathroom is awesome. There is also a pool were you can relax after a day visiting monuments. They have filtered water so you can have tap water with no problem. The breakfast is also quite good. Very healthy and varied. The location is also very good. Close to the west bank sites, and close the ferry to the east bank.

The taxi for visiting monuments is quite expensive. For one morning is around 40 dollar (ending at 13.00), and all sites are very close. The longest ride is just 10 min by car. Incredible. I think they have a pretty big commission. It is a pity that Uber is not here yet. They have to serve breakfast earlier during summer. The sun rises at 5.00 am and the sites open at 6.00. They do not serve breakfast until 7.00 and I know is already early, but summer in Luxor is too hot. They should serve breakfast at least at 6.00. The street close to the hotel has no road so you may think you are not in the right place...

Hussain the manager was welcoming and extremely helpful. Unfortunately I had missed a connection so lost my first night there. My breakfast was good but the best part was being with Mohammed who works there and Jackie the cat who were in the garden when I arrived for breakfast. Jackie helped me pack my bag in my room and I would have loved to take her with me. Embrace Hotel is in the peaceful and village-y side of Luxor, riding stables, holiday apartments, fields of crops - hugely nicer than the 'wild west' side.

What will be even better is when the new addition, adding even more rooms and facilities, is complete.

Beautiful hotel and outdoor dining area, great pool. Very close and convenient for accessing all the historical sites on the west side of the nile.

The hotel bar does not serve alcohol which was a big disappointment when you're hanging out at night. The barking dogs and fighting feral cats make it kinda hard to sleep. The room was small, not much room to move around between the beds and the walls. The bathroom is very dark. It's abt a 45 minute drive from the east bank of the nile and there arent many options for restaurants or nightlife. Buildings surrounding the hotel are mostly vacant and not places tourists would go.

The hotel and staff were great. Embrace offered a full nutritious breakfast and sitting in the beautiful garden was a perfect way to start the day. We really felt sad to leave this place as it is a hidden gem. Don't overlook this hotel while in Luxor. The west side of the nile is far more relaxing judging from what others have told me.

Two things...the internet was poor. So forget about doing anything substantial on their wifi. Secondly, the dogs barking late at night and into the early hours of the morning made it difficult to sleep in.

Nice rooms, lots of space, comfortable beds. Friendly staff. And what a beautiful garden! - an oasis in the neighbourhood.

Breakfast was quite good, but presented in a rather sloppy manner. Hard to understand that they only serve instant coffee at breakfast while they serve good (Turkish) coffee at other moments. When I asked the answer was: "only instant coffee is included in breakfast". The showers are very hard to regulate: water tuns ice cold one moment and boiling hot the other. Also: no hot water in the morning and late evening (because water heats with solar panels).

A beautiful hotel in a friendly village a short walk to the river to take you across the Nile to Luxor. We arrived early from the overnight train and instantly relaxed in the garden over coffee -what a peaceful spot. We hadn’t booked any trips before arriving but Karim sat down with us over coffee and within 30 mins we had the perfect itinerary - a felucca and souk that eve, hot air balloon and Valley of the Kings the next day and then Luxor. No pressure - and professional and fun trip planning - and SO reasonably priced. Build in some time to just relax in the garden - it’s beautiful and Mohammed will look after you with drinks and food! The rooms were beautiful and the ones with the window seats rather than a balcony just lovely. Felt relaxed, safe, welcome and looked after!

The hotel was absolutely stunning with a fantastic ethical ethos, from solar panels on the roof to the adobe plastered walls and filtered tap water so that it’s safe to drink, this is an oasis of calm and tranquility. The pool was clean and refreshing after our trip from Cairo, and the meditation room was an absolute bonus. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious and plentiful. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially being on the West Bank and away from the noise and bustle of the East. We had a fantastic view of the balloon rides over the Valley of the Kings from our balcony, completely breath taking…

Wi-fi was hit and miss which was frustrating at times…
