Stayed here for three nights. By budget Egypt standards it was OK, nothing particularly nice or grim about the place. Staff were OK once they gave up on the hassling trying to sell tours. Most remarkable thing was that I saw a weasel in the ally outside the front door.

this place gives u the best value for money. very nice people. very interactive, cheap internet free tv and nice breakfast, clean rooms and v v friendly staff or shud i say friends! i wud recomend it to anyone travelling on a tight budget. dont look anywhere else. head straight for this hotel.

I am a single parent (mom) traveller. I spent a month backpacking around the Middle East with my 9 year old daughter. We just got back a week and a half ago.

For our time in Luxor, which was short, we stayed at this hostel. the owner, gaber, corresponded with us before we arrived, and arranged an inexpensive taxi to pick us up at the airport. As it turns out, he came with the taxi, helped with bags, and was so accomodating in helping us feel welcome. He pointed places out along the way, and made sure we knew where the key places were for when we settled in.

Upon arrival, he sent his younger brother out to get us a complimentary cold drink, and showed us to our room. We booked a private double with A/C. Sooo glad we had the A/C in the intense summer temperatures. The beds were fine, and there was lots of room to store our stuff.

Gaber was very helpful in helping me arrange the early morning hot Air Balloon trip and a day trip to the valley of the Kings & Queens, etc. since we only had 48 hours to pack aa lot of stuff in. He also arranged a sunset felucca for the first night for us, and helped us get to Karnak by horse after we arrived...all of the arrangements and prices were very reasonable compared to what i had found ahead of time and read on previous reports.

There was a nice breakfast available each morning..eggs cooked to order, bread, cheese, coffee/tea, etc. Wake up calls (actually a knock on the door) were available for our super early start on the second day for our balloon ride (we had to leave the hostel at 4 a.m.).

Anything we asked about, the staff were available to answer. Really great hostel, and I felt absolutely safe being there with my young daughter.

I know we will visit again to see the rest of Luxor that we missed!!

FYI - there is free WIFI available in the common area, and also a computer if you don't have your own wifi device.

Lastly, there is a really great rooftop to chillax on, albeit, too hot during the day, and better at night!!

Thanks to you Gaber for making our time in Luxor so great!!

It is nothing particularly special, the rooms are average but it is in a very good location 2 minutes next to the Luxor train station, as well as a 10 minute walk to the Luxor temple. The staff were very friendly and were very helpful. The most exceptional thing is its price, it is so cheap that if you are just looking for a place to crash without any extras then stay at this hotel!
