Luxor, Egypt

Rooms vary widely in quality and age, so request a modern room with Nile views. Staff excel at service and food is excellent, especially breakfast. Some guests found furnishings dated and the overall vibe less luxurious than expected for a 5-star property.

Rooms vary widely: some guests loved them while others found outdated, small spaces with dirty windows and cramped bathrooms. Staff consistently impress, the Nile views and pools shine, but the elevator system is broken and restaurant food quality is inconsistent.

Newly renovated rooms are comfortable with great Nile views, but major construction noise and dust plague the pool area. Staff go out of their way to help, though billing issues and maintenance problems persist for a five-star property.

Rooms are small, dated, and thin-walled with old bathrooms and weak showers, but the Nile location is excellent and staff are genuinely helpful. Book a higher floor Nile-facing room and expect to pay more than the condition warrants. The breakfast and views make it work for a short stay.
