This is my second visit to El-Nakhil. The place has not changed much - the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff & management attentive and friendly. However the breakfast could be improved with an offering of fresh fruit.

I found this place one of the best to stay in the whole of Egypt. I was warmly welcomed with a refreshing drink and the staff were very friendly and helpful, even going out of their way to take me to a doctor. The food was excellent and was served on their rooftop dining area which had stunning views of... More

We loved El Nakhil for its tranquillity, West bank location, spacious room with a balcony overlooking a garden filled with sparrows and doves, and the best shower we had in Egypt.

Before we arrived I must have sent dozens of emails to Birgit, the owner, asking hundreds of questions but she answered every one of them with the utmost patience! Birgit and her husband Salah run the hotel and between them they can organise anything for you. They organised... More

was worried about taking my two teenaged daughters to Luxor for a week (my minimum stay in this place). How will they cope with a quiet (so I thought) west bank stay on their first trip to Egypt? Well, we did escape most of the hubbub of this active tourist resort. We even managed to get a few quiet visits... More

This Hotel has so much potential and with a few little added touches It would have scored higher. The Good: The Hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful. The actual grounds are beautiful and the rooms are clean. They have a sweet little cat that I being a cat lover enjoyed. The Not so good: There were no frills, no... More
