Hotels Near Aboudy Bookshop in Luxor

This is really a hidden gem in Luxor! It’s on the quiet west bank and near to Valley of king, queen, nobles, artists! The Arabic style room, building and garden meet all my imagination about Tales from 1001 nights! The owner is such a kind lady. She will arrange cars and tours at very reasonable price! They also have the best food and coffee in Luxor! The menu changes every day!! All the staffs are also so kind and helpful! They will have new buildings by end of 2024. If I ever come back to Luxor, I will definitely stay here again and longer! My best memory in Egypt!

We arrived in Luxor extremely tired after a 10hr journey on a sleeper train from Cairo. On approaching the hotel our taxi driver asked us why here? … I’ll tell you why here… The Jewel Howard Carter hotel is a dazzling oasis on Luxors West Bank. The staff that greeted us were friendly and welcoming allowing us to check in super early . Our room was extremely comfortable with a view of the garden and the sound of birdsong ( much nicer than the sound of Cairo traffic!) The staff were able to book us a wonderful driver for the 2 days we were here, he took us to the east bank for lunch, sightseeing , stopping at a local bar for Egyptian tea, then day 2 sightseeing on the West Bank. They also arranged for a tuktuk to take us to our sunset felucca trip on the Nile. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious and as we had an early flight they even gave us breakfast to go! Shukran Said and your wonderful staff for making us feel so welcome

Peaceful place on the bank of the Nile away from the busy areas where you can relax. The grounds and views of the Nile are beautiful. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and happy, especially Ahmed (nephew of the owner) who was lovely to me and my son and really looked after us when we went to have a look around the west bank. The owner and his wife were also lovely and we felt very safe there. You can get food there and they can organise cars and trips. If you like walking, you can walk and get the ferry or one of the many independent boats across to the east bank. Although it is away from the sites of the east bank, it is quiet and peaceful and you will appreciate that at the end of a busy day of sight seeing and haggling. Would definitely return.

The environment is very good. It shares a garden with the Hermitage and the swimming pool is great. The service is very good except for the receptionist who kept urging us to check out. When we checked in, we already said we wanted to check out late and the supervisor agreed. She didn't ask. He said we didn't have any and asked us to leave immediately. I called the front desk again and she said she would check in. This time there was no reply. The experience was extremely bad. Others were very nice. The breakfast was poor, but the environment was good. , I would like to give special praise to the guy from Jian Omlet. He is a nice person and very patient. The restaurant service is very good. It is not an exaggeration. He has been to all Egyptian hotels and has done a good job. In addition to the Winter Palace and the Old Waterfall, the Egyptian hotel service also includes the Mina Palace. Other services are very poor, including the Kapinski where I live now, but for the cost performance and this garden, I will still choose it.

A centrally located hotel next to the temple of Luxor and the newly opened avenue of the sphinx. Being so centrally located you will be at the mercy of the vale he drivers whichever way you turn, so prepare yourself. The room had two singles and the bathroom was quite basic but functional. It was missing a shower curtain and the grout was last it’s best. I could hear slight noises from the next room but no too a problematic extent. The staff were extremely good and helpful and one of them even helped to recharge my phone through his credit card and I paid him. I would stay here again but I’d have to prepare myself for having nowhere to hide from the caliche drivers and street hawkers here.

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel, for this price you get a lot: big well appointed rooms, balcony with sunset Nile view, coffee/tea maker, fridge, safe, good airco etc. Staff are super friendly and helpful, led by the guest relations officer Gigi. Biggest plus was the new gym and spa, where professor Ashraf and his helper Mustafa give you incredible treatments for even more incredible prices. Respectful and professional, they come highly recommended!! Ok,decor a little dated but refurbishment is under way. Wifi needs an upgrade though..

Muy buen hotel 3 estrellas para los estándares egipcios. Lindas instalaciones y habitaciones acorde al precio. Lo mejor de todo fue la atención de Ahmed, quien nos recibió con té y café de cortesía, fue muy atento en todo momento y nos ayudó con el almuerzo y el transporte al valle de los reyes y al aeropuerto. El hotel no sirve almuerzo, solo desayuno. Tiene una terraza hermosa en el techo desde donde se puede ver Hatshepsut y los globos aerostático en la mañana. Tiene un pequeño minimarket/panadería a la vuelta con snacks, bebidas y cosas de aseo personal, pregunten bien el precio de las cosas antes de comprar (como referencia, un jugo en caja o una oreo vale £10 libras egipcias). Recomendaciones: 1. el hotel queda en la costa oeste, a unos 300 metros de donde te deja el ferry público (que solo vale £10 libras egipcias para los turistas) por lo que es recomendable tomar un taxi (nos costó £450 libras egipcias) desde el aeropuerto hasta el ferry y cruzar y caminar esas calles, aunque la mitad de ese tramo es camino de tierra. Por la noche puede dar susto caminar por ahí, pero notamos que la gente local se conoce y no se corre peligro. 2. Si quieren facilit**** la vida, pregúntenle a Ahmed por chofer personal, quien también se llama Ahmed y vive cerca y es confiable. Pagamos $30 dólares para que nos llevara al valle de los reyes, colosos y hapshetsut y nos esperó todo lo que quisimos, además de darnos una explicación de todo el lugar mientras manejaba. Lo recomiendo para andar relajado sin esperar a ser estafado por otros taxistas. 3. La habitación solo trae una toalla y no tiene secador de pelo, pero simplemente hay que pedirle a Ahmed y los facilita. 4. Tuvimos que batallar contra unos pocos mosquitos en la habitación, pero nada que no se pudiera manejar. Obviamente no es algo que esté en manos del hotel, ya que estamos muy cerca del río Nilo y es obvio que habrá mosquitos. La habitación en general estaba limpia y libre de bichos relacionados a la limpieza. Recomendable 100%, si volviera a Luxor me quedaría ahí nuevamente.

This hotel is a special place. Its location is absolutely the best for the West Bank sites ( if you like to walk like we do, Valley of the queens, Valley of the Nobles, Deir el Medina or the Ramesseum are reachable within 20 to 30 minutes) If you want transportation you just go to the street and soon a tuk-tuk, car or taxi will stop and you can agree on a price. Just one warning : do not do this at 7.30 in the morning or so because everybody is rushing to work and there are no empty cars that will take you to a touristdestination or even to the ferry (3 kms from the hotel). The hotel of course can take you anywhere but you will have to give a notice beforehand, the price will be fixed and higher, but you will have a nicer car too. We had a room on the topfloor and we absolutely loved it. Very well furnished with a matching design, good wardrobe, big enough balcony with seating and functional bathroom. The view over the very well cared for property, the fields, the balloons in the morning giges you an instant holidayfeeling. The only thing that bothered a bit was the plastic cover of the matress because of the cracking sound but we easely understand the hygenic reasons for it. We had several dinners here and were honestly surprised by the quality of the food (crispy fresh salads, hummus with nice presentation, refined egyptian pastry) and the very nice and friendly service. The friendly service and quality is also present at breakfasttime with fresh juice and Lavazza coffee and more than enough food. There is one more very special thing about The New Memnon Hotel : Mr Sayed, the owner is besides his concern about the guests, also a very caring person for everybody who workes in this community of a small hotel that wants to give quality to its clients but also more quality of life through a better income for its dedicated workers. Instead of a tipbox you will be asked if you want to contribute an amount on top of your bill so he can distribute it to everyone who keeps this hotel such excellent value. Be sure they will be thankfull.
