    A bit far from the central area which usually means adding the stress of dealing with taxi drivers, but this is nothing to do with the accommodation.

    The owner and his family were very kind and helpful.

    The former name is Hoppa Guest House that can find in Google map but not so accurate. The gate is also difficult to be found. Please check attached map. The room is big but the air conditioner is not sufficient for the bed far from it. No private refrigerator in room but the shared one is in kitchen. There is no shop and restaurant around. There is small shop, bakery and take-away shop in the north by walking around 400m.

    Many bottles of water in the refrigerator are free to use. It is very helpful to us. The exhaust fan is not working but it is still ok as the humidity is low. When go to hotel by taxi from north, such as Luxor Temple, Goggle map or InDrive try to suggest go by shorter way through Khalt Al Sharaton which is too narrow. Luxor Bridge is much better as in green dotted line in attached map.

    The main area with pool was a bit more run down than the pictures show, although they were doing maintenance on the pool. Still great value and facilities, first impressions just threw me off.

    Private, separate property in safe location just off the beaten path. Beautiful partial sunset views from upper floor(s). Very friendly and helpful staff.

    To leave the place

    This place & the owner Mr.Mohammed & the lady deserve utmost appreciation for their humble & kind nature, wish I could rate more than 10. The hotel is absolutely wonderful & peaceful with all kitchen facilities. The room I stayed in was a suit & it was really a big sized and huge bathroom with a hot water shower at full force. All the staff members are super attentive & helpful. Definitely coming again to stay in my next visit. Gem of a Luxor, that's the tagline should be.

    The owner was amazing—super friendly and welcoming! We arrived early and he let us rest in another room, which we really appreciated. The room we booked was spacious with comfy beds. There’s even a pool, which was a nice bonus. Only downside was the toilet—it could’ve been cleaner. But overall, great value for money!

    Staying here was the highlight of our 5 day luxor trip. Amazing friendly and kind family. Mohamed is a proper gentleman who is very informative and kind. Invited us to eat with his family too. Lovely swimming pool after a scorching hot day touring the main tourist spots. We were so happy with our room spotlessly clean. High european standard with lovely shower, towels, toilet rolls, soap you want for nothing here. Even an english channel on tv which shows english films. Amazing stay i genuinly dont know what else to say. If we come back to luxor we will stay here nowhere else. Ask mohamed about the 3 egyptian pound buses. Saved us a fortune on taxis. Btw its only a 2 minute walk to the banks of the river nile.

    The place is far removed from similar accommodation, it's quieter and located about a mile from down town.. I was welcomed but not pestered, I was given free reign to use all facilities. My room was perfect and I rested well as the two days were spent resting after 18 days of travel and excursions, so much appreciated.. The cost was minimum and my rest was peaceful and cathartic. The landlord is very helpful with information,...just ask. Mark

    No such things

    The accommodation was a very cozy place with a small private pool for the house mates. The accommodation was super clean, and had a separate kitchen set up with Microwave, Kettle, and cooking facilities. The room was very comfortable, clean, furmished with chairs, AC, with a private toilet with shower with beautiful pool View. There were towels in the bathroom, but make sure you carry your own toiletaries as the accommodation provided only hand wash and tissues. The location of this property is around 3Kms from the Luxor Temple or the City centre, however, it was worth the price. We recommend staying in Sofia Guest House instead of choosing an expensive accommodation just for the location near city centre (hotels will be too small or very expensive). You can commute to places by booking your ride through an App - suggested by our host Sir, Mr. Mohammad called “InDrive” for a cheaper price rather than an expensive ride with out side taxis. Bargaining with drivers for a ride can be exhausting at times in any city in Egypt, but In Drive works cheaper as well as the App works just like Uber or Ola. This accommodation has a cute cat called Beeka in their sitting area can be an add-On for animal lovers. They have Shisha pots, and drink Menu in case you need any. Go for it, we highly recommend this accommodation. Love from India 🇮🇳

    Allah prayers from a close mosque, I guess, woke me up at 5am twice. One day I got just two minutes of hot water.

    I have stayed in 8 hotels in Egypt and this is by far the best one. Nice location, just 6 minutes by car from train station or Luxor temple. Great owner, very welcoming and polite. Nice pool. Good price, great value. Big, clean room. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in East Bank who is looking for a nice an affordable place to stay.

    The room is pretty nice. I would suggest upgrading the bedding.

    Genuine experience: we had a fantastic stay, and the host was incredibly kind and helpful. On our first night, he assisted us with the SMS verification for inDrive. On the last night, I accidentally left my jacket on the chair, and the host went above and beyond by sending it to us via GoBus Express while we were heading to Hurghada. He really did more than he had to. The price of $20+ per night is very reasonable and definitely worth it. It’s a great deal—no complaints at all.

    Friendly host, he helped us arrange our transport to Aswan at a more than reasonable price. The place has a kitchen, laundry machine, pool. It definitely exceeded my expectations for the price we paid. The area is outside of the city center, but it's very easy and cheap to take an Indrive to wherever you want to go (less than 1 USD to downtown, 10 min away)

    Bathroom door didn't close properly. It's not a good idea to walk around in the neighbourhood at night, you're dependent on indrive or taxi.

    Friendly staff, he was kind and always around for questions. Nice swimmingpool and lounge area. Room was big, nice hot water in the shower. Bed sheets weren't very clean upon arrival, but he changed them kindly. Wifi is available. Also nice to be able to order some drinks or water for a good price. It was no problem to store our luggage for the day after checkout.

    Uber does not work in Luxor, use inDrive instead.

    It is not 5 star hotel! The place has a very good value of the money. The place was very nice, comfortable, clean, and affordable. The host is respectful and helpful. There is a nice cafe in the street! For host: thank you for your hospitality. I only have a few suggestions: please buy dark curtain, as the current curtains don't make the room fully dark. Please increase the charge of the room by 50 cent and always add toilet paper. I suggest that you buy spring mattress + bigger bed sheet for the bed to ensure the main mattress stays clean and in good shape for long time. I hope you find my suggestions helpful.

    Very quiet, clean, good value, there is also a kitchen if you need to cook your own food, I had my flight in the afternoon and the owner let me stay until 17.00 without charging me for more. The boy that helps is very kind and not for the tips. My room had a beautiful Nile view. I was ill and the owner prepared special tea with herbs for me.
