    Incredible view, but performance seemed to be not meeting my expectations

    rating05 May 2026

    Visited in in April 2026 to have a drink and enquire about booking. The location and view of the Nile and Luxor’s temples are truly 5-star — you feel the history. However, my personal impression from reception was disappointing in my opinion. Staff I spoke with seemed unresponsive satisfactorily to basic questions, and I didn’t feel welcome. Based on that brief experience, I chose not to book. I booked a Nile cruise instead and found the staff more attentive and proactive. This location deserves service that makes guests feel valued.

    Great food in an iconic location

    rating27 Apr 2026

    We had dinner in La Corniche restaurant, which has been the main restaurant for 134 years.Superb service and great food, their signature dessert Opera Trio is a must.Very reasonable cost, worth making the effort even if you are not staying at the hotel

    Staying in History

    rating24 Apr 2026

    Historic decayed elegance are the words that come to mind. The location of the hotel walking distance to Luxor temple and close to Karnak is a major plus. Of the grand hotels in Egypt I would say that this one is in need of an upgrade especially with the four seasons slated to open next door soon. The staff seemed helpful but a little disengaged overall, without going out of their way as was typical on the rest of our trip. I guess it’s hard to review this hotel after coming from a really well run Cataract hotel in Aswan, but there is great potential here. I wish they would take more advantage of the potential views they have over Luxor Temple, better priced cocktails in the bar (why is a signature cocktail $40?), and elevating their pool deck food offerings.

    Avoid this place until fully refurbished

    rating04 Apr 2026

    The hotel is in tragic conditions. Délabré, run-down and decadent have now a new meaning after seeing how Sofitel is running this historic place. The manager and the owner should be ashamed of the state of the facilities. We were attracted here by the allure of the hotel’s history but it impossible to enjoy to stay here since the premises are close to fall apart and the carpets in the public areas and the room are very old, dusty and feel dirty. I am sure not a dime was invested in the hotel at least in the last 30 years. I have never been a fan of Sofitel but after staying here I will stay for sure at large from this brand forever.

    an oasis in amongst chaos

    rating02 Apr 2026

    Took my mum here for 4 nights as part of her birthday 'grand egyptian tour' trip. And it didn't disappoint. From the exceptional staff to STUNNING gardens and wonderful pool area. We had dinner and a fabulous breakfast in Corniche restaurant, both services were lovely. Food beautifully cooked/presented and again service was exceptional. They made a real fuss of mum for her birthday which was greatly appreciated. And the tranquil garden and relaxing pool area made an oasis in the heart of a chaotic city. Thank you all it was magical good old fashioned service and hospitality
