We checked one piece of luggage in their secure storage room – when we came back it was gone. We filed a tourist police report for our insurance and the hotel manager lied to police trying to cover-up the hotel’s error. It turned out the bag was taken by some tour group and ended up in another part of the... more

All I have to say is that from start to end it was a nightmare. We arrived with our booking voucher, only for the receptionist to claim that he doesn't know anything about our booking through quick rooms. We payed for the night assuming it would be cleared by the next day, where we spent an entire day on the... more

The Philippe hotel, Luxor, Egypt - marvellous hotel though small in comparison to most. May 2008 The Phillipe wad a marvellous hotel, the staff very friendly and generous. The food was far better than expexted and the range of dishes varied tremendously. The costs for the evening meals was never in excess of £10 which covered 2 starters, 2 main... more

As you walk through the foyer area to get to the lifts, you cannot help but be impressed by the display of Egyptian wares. From colorful papyrus pictures, to statues and mosaic art. The hotel is in a great location, within close walking distance to the Nile or the local markets. Everything that you need is within close walking distance... more

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the Philippe in Luxor. What can we say? Excellent value for a budget hotel; it had the service of a more upmarket hotel. Situated in the heart of Luxor, away from the regular tourist hotel area (Downtown) with the temples and museums within easy walking distance, although taxis and caleches had... more

We were rather strapped for cash but desperate to have some form of honeymoon and we have to admit to choosing the holiday on the basis of the price. When we got there I was impressed with the service provided by the staff who are all very helpful. The room was clean but had no natural light as we were... more

Besides the comfy beds, there's really not much positive things I can say about this hotel. The breakfast was so-so. They always gave us one egg and bread. When I turned on the shower, the water was brown and I had to let it run for 10 minutes to get the water to clear up and get warmer. The room... more

We stayed at the Phillipe for 7 night and were very happy with all aspects of the hotel.It was clean,the food was very good and the staff were all without exception cheerful and friendly. The Hotel is very convienient for all the sights being within easy walking distance of most.Would recommend it to all. more

Staff could not be more helpful if they tried! Just remeber though if they do you a favour it will cost you :-). the hotel is basic but exceptionally clean. The food is also basic - but there was nothing at al that we could not eat! All staff had "family and firends" that had boats and taxis to take... more
