I really enjoyed my stay and having previous been on the east bank the west was a very nice change and much calmer. The view is fantastic, and the beds and pillows very comfortable. As with everywhere in Egypt there is some noise, but I slept better here than anywhere else I stayed. Great location for visiting sites. Islam helped arranged trips and all the other staff were also very friendly and helpful. Dinner at the restaurant was very tasty and huge portions.

The hotel is old and somewhat disorganized and not that clean, the food is good and it has s good location. Please do not book any tours with them, they not only overcharge you and tell you everything will be perfect since they want good reviews but the truth is after you pay they never answer your messages, if they come to do the tours they are always late and for the hot air balloons me and my family woke up at 4 because it was supposed to be at 5 and no one from the hotel answer or the guy who I booked with yunis even pick up after 40 minutes to finally tell me it was canceled which was a lie because I found out balloons dud fly that day and he didn’t even book that just to make you buy a package that its not even reliable

I don’t understand why they don’t bring out your included breakfast all at once instead of doing it like it is a three course meal with the omelet as the last course. Staff need better customer service training instead of looking at “guest” like an ATM by certain staff. After giving out all tips with the head guy, this guy came back to ask for more once the head staff leaves. Said “need more tips for the chef.” No sleep to my last night of stay ( Thursday) as the roof top music is loud and did not stop till 1:30 am. Upon arrival they called another guy to make you sign up to their jack-up price tours but it does gives you the convenience and not to be hustle by the outside taxi operators or tour operators. Need to put a hot kettle in the room at least for access to hot drinks for those who needs it. Just FYI

Helpful staff and convenient location

I really appreciated the staff of this hotel, who were extremely helpful. In particular, I want to thank Kareem for his help with arranging a tour for me to the antiquities and also for his patience and help on my final night when it looked as if I might have a problem with my flight back from Luxor and I had to make contact with an Egyptair office late at night. The restaurant staff were also friendly - and the food was delicious, with very generous portions. From the restaurant there is a nice view out over the Nile and it is only a short boat ride across the river to reach Karnak temple. I was also grateful for the very pleasant driver whom the hotel found for me, to take me to the Valley of the Kings and other places, and also to go back to the airport. He arrived very punctually and was willing to wait for me patiently if needed. In all, this was a great place to stay in Luxor because of the kindness and friendliness of the staff and their contacts.

Egypt is "Awesome"!!!! Except for the Egyptians..

Egypt & its sights are awesome. Everything in Egypt is awesome except that 99.9% of Egyptian people are trying to scam money out of you. Yes, even your Hotel. Its exhausting & demoralizing, trying to keep a good mood & enjoy your trip while all Egyptians see "all tourists" as "marks". I have been all over the world to some of the most impoverished countries & never have I felt like I did in Egypt. There are scams all over the world, but in "Egypt", "Everybody" is trying to scam you. Anybody who has been to Egypt, can attest to this. Some people will say, "oh, its what you make of it." Like I said, I have been all over the world ....etc, & always make the best of it..Long story short, Egyptians see it as a national pastime to scam tourists, they see it as their right, & they love it when you actually finally get upset when, after the 10th time telling them, " no thank you", you do. They act offended & cant believe that you got upset. Bottom line is, I have nothing but good things to say about all the rest of the countries I have been to over the last 20 years of traveling, & would love to go back to all of them...except "Egypt". I saw what I needed to see, & I will never go back.

Abbiamo soggiornato due notti all’Hotel El Mesala e ci siamo trovati davvero molto bene. La posizione è eccellente, comoda per visitare la zona e allo stesso tempo tranquilla. Il personale è stato estremamente disponibile e gentile, sempre pronto ad aiutarci con il sorriso. La vista dal ristorante sul rooftop è semplicemente meravigliosa e anche dalla camera si gode di un panorama bellissimo che rende il soggiorno ancora più speciale. Un’esperienza positiva che consigliamo volentieri!

Hôtel très bien placé Personnel pas très agréable Comme par hasard on a mangé au restaurant de l hôtel et le moniteur de carte bleue ne fonctionnait pas on nous a demandé un paiement cash. Ca nous a coûté cher en commission à la borne ATM au pieds de l hôtel, pour 20 euros nous avons été prélevés 25,6 euros.resultat 5.6 euros de frais et pourtant nous n avons pas de frais de carte à l étranger Personnellement je ne recommanderai pas cet hôtel vis à vis de leur pratique

Nous avons séjourné dans cette hôtel du 23 au 25 avril 2024. La préparation du séjour s'est fait via Expedia, puis en discussion directement avec l'établissement sur WhatsApp. L'hôtel nous a préparé les excursions que nous souhaitions faire, mais aussi la prise en charge à l'arrivée de notre Go-Bus en provenance d'Hurgfada, et le transfert vers notre prochaine étape, Assouan. De la prise en charge, aux visites avec chauffeur, et guide Francophone, des petits déjeuners aux dîners, jusqu'à notre départ, tout a été impeccable. On s'entend bien, si vous venez chercher ici un hôtel 4* au standard européen, ce n'est pas l'idée. L'hôtel est de taille raisonnable, notre appartement pour 4 était très grand, bien équipé, la literie est correcte (un peu ferme mais cela nous convient). Me petit déj a base de pain local, beurre, confiture, café, thé, une omelette par personne, du fromage, des légumes,.... Pour les repas, nous avons privilégié la cuisine locale, goûteuse, bien préparé, en bonne quantité. Nous avons tenté des spaghettis bolognaise, qui sont tout a fait délicieux, des pizzas , qui sont plus proche d'une tarte que d'une pizza comme nous en avons l'habitude, mais c'est fait maison, ça a du goût, ça passe très bien. Une glace pour finir, et le tour est joué. Tout cela avec une vue sur le Nil, juste en face du temple de Louxor! Nous avons également profité de la piscine, à l'ombre a partir de 15h, ça fait du bien. Le personnel est attentif, disponible, toujours de bonne humeur,
