Le bon goût de l’hôtel, belle chambre, bonne literie.
Super petit déjeuner et repas, jus de fruit frais, produits du jardin de l’hôtel, très copieux et de qualité. Endroit calme. Bien placé pour les vites Louxor ouest. Personnel impeccable. Le responsable très attentionné envers les hôtes. Je le remercie personnellement pour avoir appelé un taxi pour nous déposer à la station de bus en centre ville à la dernier minute car le taxi que nous avions réservé nous mêmes n’est jamais venu. Nous avons réussi à avoir notre bus pour Hurghada à la dernière minute grâce à ce grand monsieur. Je vous recommande cet hôtel à 200%, les commentaires et les photos représentent la réalité Merci

Impeccable staff and service - helped us organize/book all aspects of our time in Luxor. Delicious authentic meals made from produce grown in their garden. Beautiful property and very clean. Would highly recommend!
Pillows a bit thick for me but really that’s all I can think of as everything was excellent

The property is excellent, and the staff were extremely helpful and attentive to our needs. Getting there involves going through a couple of smaller streets – so guests ought to be prepared for a stretch where they may need directions – but once that's done, there is a lovely view of the river, and a hotel placed around wonderful fields of bananas, mangoes and vegetables, which you can visit if you ask the staff. The rooms are generously proportioned, with clean bathrooms and high ceilings – at least the one we stayed in – and the food is genuinely excellent, both breakfast and dinner that we had there. Highly recommended for a quieter space to stay in on the West Bank, very close to things like the Colossi of Memnon and various West Bank temples and sites, and now not too far even from the East Bank sites given the new bridge that has opened. Highly recommended!

Helpful staff. Pleasant surroundings and building. Nice pool.
Terrible coffee. First we were given Nescafe. On complaint, we were given "American coffee" only slightly better. We've had decent coffee in egypt, so we know it exists. Also terrible stale bread, especially the European stuff.

Le personnel est aux petits soins, nous a proposé des solutions au delà de nos attentes et nous a grandement aidé pour nos excursions à des prix intéressants (montgolfière, déplacements, taxis...)
Tout est toujours propre, chambre de grande qualité et l'équipement est nickel.
J'ai voulu me baigner, et un membre du personnel m'a apporté une serviette de bain de son propre gré.

Room was clean and has a view of the Nile, booking didd it’s lie and said it was upgraded but every room has balcony with a view of river Nile Luxor or valley of kings… evening walks down agricultural environments to local ferries were great
Clean designed well good food affordable
Beds were stiff , mattresses could use some updating

We spent 4 nights here and could have staed longer. Luxor has enough sights and interesting places for an even longer stay and Jewel Howard Carter was a perfect choice. Relaxing, quiet, modern, convenient, nicely furnished - everything that you need for a memorable stay. Mr. Saeed helped us with ideas, organizing boat trasfer to the East Bank. We quickly felt like home, got to know the neighbours, children, dogs. Real rural surrounding, but very close to all the West Bank sites and an easy boat trip to Luxor temple. Highly recommended.

Honnêtement uniquement l’emplacement
Dès le premier soir lors de Check in, nous avions payé pour une chambre double lors de notre arrivé le manager said nous amène dans une simple chambre avec lit jumeaux et nous dis que pour avoir une chambre double il faut payé plus alors que nous avions payé sur booking le prix d’une chambre double. Sa solution a été de simplement colle les lits avec aucun dédommagement de sa part. ( le séjour commence mal). De plus dans la chambre nous avons trouvé un cafard et la douche de la salle de bain bouché avec énormément de saleté et cheveux qui bloquait l’évacuation. ( propreté qui laisse vachement à désiré)
Que dire de plus de leur restaurant d’hôtel qui est extrêmement cher pour l’Égypte puisqu’il affiche directement les prix en dollars, tout est très très cher et honnêtement la nourriture est fade voir pas bonne du tout, selon les jours les plats ne sont pas pareil et il faut attendre 1h-1h30 pour être servie. Le manager se tourne les pouces toute la journée c’est même le chef qui cuisine qui doit amené également les plats à table à certain moments.
Pour finir il s’agit d’un gros attrape touriste je ne recommande à personne di séjourner et surtout de ne pas manger à leur restaurant.

Just the heating in the bathroom was too hot.

I really liked the high quality and the cleanliness of the place. I was also gifted an even nicer room by the manager, Said, when I arrived who also helped me with arranging a taxi driver and other means of transportation such as boat and tuk tuk at a very good price. Much appreciated. So the room was very clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Wonderful bed and bathroom. I slept really well. The food was amazing, especially when it was done by Mohammad, who was also a lovely, helpful person. Another member of staff Ahmed, who was also really nice , attentive and helpful, went the extra mile.. I loved that the hotel was very peaceful which allowed me to relax .The people who run the place are very friendly, genuine, good hearted people. I had the pleasure to meet the owner, who was also a really nice person. There is also a clean and beautiful pool to be used. I would highly recommend this place, if you like a peaceful, clean place with good people.

This place is an absolute find. It has large spacious rooms, large seating areas downstairs. A gorgeous pool with view of their own vegetable garden across into the Nile. Syed organised a driver for us for valley of the kings and everything was perfect. Syed even organised a hot air balloon for us at a much reduced rate to online options, he was so helpful. All staff here were so friendly, chatted to us and were very welcoming. We loved the local dust street, farmers with their donkeys and carts, it was a real taste of Egypt local life yet it was only 60 to 100EGP or 5 minute spin to ferry or local town centre. We were sad to leave because this place exceeded our expectations on all fronts. The West Bank was beautiful and definitely our preferred option to the traffic, noise and husslers on the busy east bank. We cannot thank the staff and Syed here enough.
Nothing.

We loved this hotel, I can’t even say what we liked most because everything was incredible. All the team was amazing with us, simple and gentle people! Their hospitality was out of this world, the food delicious and the room was always so clean and with a bouquet of flowers waiting for us. They did their best to accommodate our needs and answer our questions. The pool was a big plus since it’s very hot in Luxor!
100% recommend to everyone!

Very nice and clean hotel. Big Nubian stile apartment with fridge and big bed. Balcony with amazing view of the Nile. Big and clean swimming pool. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good breakfast, you can get good food in the restaurant. Very peaceful and nice, we had a great time there. Really recommend it.
4.5
The hotel is located away from the bustle in the centre of Luxor in a quiet residential area between banana plantations and ideal to unwind and relax. The service was outstanding, the room and hotel very clean and the food in the restaurant excellent.
The hotel has views of the Nile river from the terrace, a nice little pool to refresh and a whirlpool on the rooftop.
Yes, it is a bit further away from the main tourist areas and on an unpaved street, but its easily possible to organize a Tuktuk ride of a few minutes to the ferry or get picked up and dropped of by your guide or a taxi.
Our children loved to see a donkey and a camel across the street.

Breakfast needs improvement

The staff were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. Wonderfully quiet and serene, great view of the Nile and East bank. Food was different and delicious and cooked from local ingredients. Bonus- There is a camel just outside the hotel, what a bonus!

Beautiful! Friendly! Good food!
When we decided, fairly late in the day, to visit Luxor Temple, our host was quick to arrange a delightful driver to take us to the east bank and the temple. When, on our way, traffic over the little canal was temporarily blocked (due to the visit of a British royal), our driver got us bottled water and bananas and helped my mother out in order to watch the surrounding scene. Spectacular!
When our host saw my 93-year/old mother, he changed our room to one on the ground floor; while this was done with the best intentions and a kind heart, we would have much preferred our originally-booked room up one flight of stairs. The room we were given was very dark with practically no natural light and no view. We were only staying for one night, so didn’t bother asking to be moved.

This hotel was a little quiet oasis in chaotic Luxor .Our room had a lovely view across the Nile which was just magical early in the morning .There is so much bird life in the area and the hotel is surrounded by quaint farmland .The owner organised a driver to take us around the sites for a reasonable price which was appreciated .The Wait staff and owner were very attentive and even insisted on making me mint tea when I had a bad cough .The dinner was fine and the beer and wine passable . The pool looked nice and seemed to be cleaned every day .
we arrived in the evening and hadn’t eaten since breakfast .We asked for a drink and a little food …even some bread and hummus would have been fine .The drink arrived and we waited for the food …and waited ..and waited .Finally we gave up and went to bed .There is a kitchen and a fridge in the room but no facilities to make a cup of tea .Not even a cup or glass . The breakfast was OK but the croissants were stale and inedible every day

I loved the place and the people, both in the hotel and in the surrounding area. The west bank is such a pleasant change from the noise and hassle of the east bank. My favourite part was starting and ending each day, walking to/from the ferry through fields by the river. Oh, and the invite to meet Achmed's family one evening, which was something special.
A tiny gripe is that curtains could be wider, to block out a bit more of the early morning sunlight.
4.5
We liked that we could tell that care had been taken to facilitate a great stay. The staff were kind and respectful.
The view on the Nile is beautiful, and the atmosphere is calm with birds singing while you have breakfast and watch boats on the Nile pass.
While we were traveling there were some renovations taking place downstairs, so for those sensitive to concrete dust I would enquire ahead and pick a room on the other side.
