Made the mistake of being unaware of ‘Trip Adviser’, if I had, I would never have stayed at this 3 star hotel. I would give it 1 star nowadays.
I was shocked at the room I stayed in, it was very shabby, the carpet was dirty and stained even with toe clippings on the floor, and I couldn’t open the curtains properly as they were jammed on the rails. The mini fridge was unclean; the furniture was worn and tatty. I managed to negotiate a different room the next day with only slight improvements. No hot water in the mornings, in the evening I would have to make a request at the reception for them to heat the water so I could shower normally 30-40 mins later.
The roof terrace/café bar does not exist, just a pile of rubble and building work, no apologies from management.
Checked out the roof top pool, the sunbeds were disgusting!! Photo’s included!
At least the bedding was clean in the rooms, though I would have preferred the cleaners to spend less time making origami shapes out of towels and provide a cleaner room?
The evening meal was unavailable in the hotel, I had to take a 5 min walk to El Kababgy Restaurant on the Nile and choose a plate of food from a limited selection, the food was edible though.
Overall I thought the hotel was the ‘pits’ maybe 10-15 yrs ago when the hotel was built it may have been delightful? The owners just let everything deteriorate and expect tourists to put up with it.
The only thing it had going for it, it was only 10 mins walk from Luxor Temple, the local ferry, rail station and the use of a fabulous swimming pool at the Winter Palace Hotel!
