Jewel Luxor Hotel

Pros +

• The hotel is partly renovated with a nice garden and spacious room. Also has a position that allows walking distance to both Karnak, the Temple and ferries to the west bank (but this is only one side of the medal). Personnel at the reception very collaborative.
• View was lovely and where the hotel was located. Although difficult to find when driving to the hotel. The room was a decent size and spacious and bath. The view from the hotel was absolutely stunning looking over the river Nile. The cafe opposite HUAWI cafe very good for smoothies and hot teas. Staff were lovely there!
• the hotel is located in a very good place

Cons -

• Position is along the corniche which not only means easy access but ... lot of egiptian traffic: very noisy till late night. And the windows don't help reducing noise. We have been very disappointed by breakfast: no choice, bread not fresh, asked for eggs but were not available. Corridors to access rooms with an old, worn and in parts broken carpet
• The breakfast was not as expected, continental breakfast was offered full of dry bread and cakes, staff didnt bother offering buffet. The call to prayer was blasting out of the speaker right near the hotel, Friday prayer sermon was sooo loud and blasting over the hotel, ruined the peace, this is located right near the hotel. I respectfully I understand its a Muslim country however I just found it unnecessary, the rooms could have been a lot cleaner. Staff were very polite, however they always have a selling culture there! So just be aware, you dont need to take them up on the offer.
