“Noisy and gloomy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

Agreed this hotel is cheap. You cant argue with that. Maybe my experience was a one off, and some would say I cant complain at that price. However, there is no way this could be a 4 star hotel. My wife and I stayed one night and then promptly switched to the Nile Palace next door (5 star). The main problem - noise. Firstly the ongoing unneccesarily lound 'ping' of the lifts - sounds pedantic but after the 50th time that night it was driving us crazy. Next - the hotel is open plan meaning theres only vertical distance but no floors between the lobby and any floor. Result = sound from the lobby carried everywhere. We could hear ALL guests coming in, rowdy or not at any time, the doors slamming etc. To top it off, they decided to start cleaning the floors at 2 am. The staff acknowledged that noise was an ongoing problem but obviously couldnt really do anything about it. So we switched. The Nile Palace is great btw. Finally the hotel purports to offer 24 hour medical cover. On my arrival, there was a frantic english lady telling the staff that her husband was really ill and couldnt walk. The staff tried calling the doctor who wasnt answering and said they couldnt do anything else and suggested taking him to hospital. All this was done in a completely unempathetic way. Being a doctor I felt obliged to help, and eventually although the man was OK, I wonder how the hotel would have helped in my absence. I was surprised due to all the good reviews, and maybe my expectations were too high, but trust me this is not 4 star, and the pictures are deceiving. The staff may be friendly and helpful - but clearly not all the time, and if youre a light sleeper - think twice. On the plus side, breakfast was OK, and the pool was OK too. Location is good, and the doormen are helpful.

Room Tip: go for a suite - more distance and 2 doors between you and the lobby. Hopefully means less noise.

“Pleasant stay but not 4 star, staff are great.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

Decided to treat my friend to a Junior suite as it was her birthday and asked for a suite overlooking the Nile. This would have been the same price as a 5 star for B & B so thought it would be a treat for us. Room was huge and had a fridge and TV in lounge and bedroom and a wardrobe in each room but these were a bit small if 4 people stayed in the Suite. It was a bit chilly at night but there were no extra pillows or blankets but I'm sure a phone call to reception would provide any additional items needed. My main dissapointment was the breakfast, there was little choice and most of the hot food was likewarm or cold. If you commented on this, the container was taken away and reheated but it did mean a wait. You have to walk a long way from the food area to your table and I felt this was dangerous as its easy to spill any drinks. Loads of waiters hoovering around so couldnt understand why they didnt provide table service for drinks as they had plenty of time and your drinks wouldnt get so cold. Had room service one night, grilled chicken and it was very tasty and good price, 96 for two people and a large portion.
Lounge bar is very quiet as not many guest there, so best to go out to eat and drink, plenty of restaurants right opposite the hotel and good prices but beware the hustlers. As soon as you step outside, they converge from all corners and this happened every time we left the hotel and it spoilt out stay. This is the same outside every hotel but i believe the hotels should do more to control them. I realise it's a difficult time for Egyptians and they are desperate for business as tourist figures are low but this hassling is not the way to go about it. My friend burst into tears one night when we got into the hotel lift, she found it overwhelming and it frightened her that you are constantly surrounded by men and she felt intimidated..........not the hotel's fault but they could do more to stop it.
Overall the hotel is good but not 4 star, more 3 star but the staff are so pleasant and helpfull but the Suite didnt have the slightly luxurious feel that I hoped it would have. I would go again as apart from the boring breakfast, I had no complaints but would try a five star first and see which feels the best value.

Room Tip: The Junior Suite was room 305 and is in the centre of the hotel , 3 floors up so quiet and overlooks...

“Lotus Hotel Luxor and honest taxi driver”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

Great shower in the room. Great swimming pool. Average room decore. Strict times for breakfast. Could not get a second cup of tea at 10.05 as breakfast finishes at 10! Cheap and tasty food by the pool.
If you want a reliable and honest taxi driver ask for Mohamed on 00 201003038649.
Good food at Deans, Jewel of the Nile, Taste of India and Italian restaurant called Roma in St Joseph St.
Great deals on leather handbags at bag shop in the Isis hotel.
Interesting jewellery shop down Murphy St(by passport office) on the other side of the road from Murphy's and further down.

“Perfect Cosy Hotel Daffo Going Back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

person found this review helpful

After my fourth visit to Loxur, so clad we found this hotel. Arrived here on the 9th Nov, we sent email first to ask for good rooms, we had 304 & 303, rooms were clean, bed was comfy, room view was excellent, rooms cleaned every day with fresh towels. Breakfast was ace with lots of choice from fresh salad and cheese, plus selection of cereal, coco pops, corn flakes also pancakes, boiled eggs, cooked while you wait omelets, there was also hot sausages, tomato with melted cheese, as much nascafe Coffee as you could drink, fresh orange juice, theres probably some things i forgot to mention, yoiu can daffo get a good feed before you hit the day.
The staff are friendly always about to help, reception staff always smiling.
The pool was deep enuff to dive in and shallow enuff for kiddies also was heated felt like a bath was lush, the Nile viwe from the pool area was amazing.
The only thing that i would say that i could give a negative comment on is the bath room, the bath little smaller then ours back here, the shower head could do with a up date, but there was red hot water when needed.
I rate this hotel a 5 star, stayed in a lot of hotels, the décor is daffo a 5*.
If your thinking about staying here and you not after paying a 5 star priced hotel then daffo get your self booked into this clean friendlily well situated, fantastic view of the Nile comfy cosy hotel.

Room Tip: We had 304 and 303 stranded.
