It has taken me several weeks to calm down and write with a clear head after the horrendous stay we as a tour group experienced when we stayed here.
The hotel is located approximately 25 mins walk away from the centre of Luxor. It does look fairly inviting from the exterior and foyer, however the rest of the hotel is a complete let down. The reception manager is at best incompetent, his level of English is barely comprehendable and he is unable to give clear answers to any question posed by guests or our guide in Arabic. The rooms are small (we had twin share with barely room to place our two smallish bags) the airconditioner works however is so loud we couldnt hold a conversation let alone sleep with it on. The shower has little water pressure and approx 2 mins worth of hot water. There is a fridge which wasnt turned on initially and when we attempted to use it, it failed to chill at all - no major issue i guess, as the hotel forbids you bringing in drinks or food and are quite vocal about it.
True housekeeping does make interesting characters - but they will use anything they can get their hands on to be created - if you dont mind your personal lingerie being featured in a display or housekeeping going through your bag to get creative then i guess there is no problem? Perhaps not.
The hotel offers a "health and beauty spa" with options for massage, facials etc. After a hectic tour this was much neeeded so a few of us decided to use this facility. The problem is, there is no private facility for a massage, the hotel calls the masseuse, he sets up his table in the open on the balcony of the rooftop pool in clear view of the surrounding neighbourhood and other guests and staff of the hotel, and expects you to happily have a whole body massage in this environment. As a female i found this completely irrational and offensive as the staff frequently come up to this space (which anyone can walk into) and engage the masseuse in conversation or simply stand there for a look. When one is only in their underwear this is completely offensive and intrusive.
The hotel manager believes this is not unacceptable behaviour, so be warned if you choose to engage in this "extra curricular activity" you will be on display for all to have a peek at.
Internet access is a rort, it is 10 egyptian pounds for an hour (no less than an hour) and it is only accessible in the foyer. They dont work on a login/logout system, so if you only want a quick peek at your email (and trip advisor!) be prepared to pay. There is no wifi in the hotel and they dont make concessions.
I can only finish by saying i am bitterly disappointed in my tour company for continuing to support this hotel with their ongoing patronage and acceptance of the behaviour of the staff.

I‘ve been to Royal House Hotel during an organised trip through Egypt. The hotel had been the best one during this trip. It was completely clean and the interior had not seen generations of guests as in most of the other hotels. Double beds with a good mattress. The outside looks quite fancy, while the inside is average. My room was in the back of the building and very quiet, but had only a window to a “inner court” with the width of the window-size. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice roof garden with pool. The restaurant in the basement offers a small, average prized menu. The meal was really not bad, but seemed to be a bit too much a compromise between Egyptian food and international taste. Continental breakfast with a no-go: a bag instant coffee and hot water.
A good hotel for those looking for a convenient place to sleep for a reasonable price, not for those looking for a fancy location. Eat there if you prefer international cooking, don’t do it if you prefer local tastes.

The domestic staff must be well treated here - they have enough time to create lovely shapes with the towels they place on the beds: a crocodile with a toilet roll caught between its' teeth; a fish; a puppet with folded hands on lap, wearing a skirt! with a toilet roll as its head ... very inventive, very cheerful. The rooms were large and clean, the bathroom also was clean. However, we had only enough hot water for one shower, which we didn't know about till too late! The second day there we made sure we had 2 hot but very short showers. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We stayed here as part of an Intrepid tour. The room was small and had a television and a fridge. It was very average. It was a fair walk or a short taxi ride from the centre of town.
