If you're looking for an affordable place to stay, this is one of the best options.

I found the rooms to be too small and the beds uncomfortable.

Excellent views of the Nile river and Luxor temple were enjoyed from the temple's balcony. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean.

Overall, it's good for a three-star establishment, but the wifi was extremely slow. It was less than 1 Mbps.

Stayed here for one night as part of an Intrepid tour. Overall hotel was looking a bit tired and could do with a refurb. Common areas were dusty and a bit gloomy although the rooms were clean. The rooftop has a great view of the Nile and Luxor Temple. Ate lunch and breakfast here, both mediocre. Wifi available in the lobby. Staff were friendly.

Rooms is too small and beds isn't comfortable but they are very helpful people

Luxor

This is a great hotel on the "calm" side of the Nile. The stuff is very welcoming and helpful, the room was always clean and the swimming pool is sufficient for a little refresh after a long day. There is also a nice terrace on the top where you can get sunshine whole day.

If you are coming by a bus or train, the local taxi drivers will try to push you to take a taxi for a huge amount of money. But there is a boat taxi which runs whole day (don't believe them that there is a lunch break as we did). If you use the boat taxi it about 5 minutes walk to the hotel, definitely worth saving the money. :)

Pay attention. I want to thank the staff for the wonderful hospitality. The ambiance is authentic, unique, the food delicious. Yard every honor to you. I have never run such a beautiful garden that a Hotel has. Quiet, peaceful place to relax and enjoy. I would especially like to thank the staff at the front desk, the man who works as a teacher and as a receptionist to support his family who helped us solve one problem. Always smiling, which is rare today. Big Thank you to the staff of the Hotel for the wonderful hospitality.

The rooms are a little small. You can definitely hear the other guests through the walls and the windows. However, it's very cosy. Bathroom could be cleaner though.

Absolutely amazing.  An exotic island away from the bustle of Luxor.  Beautiful gardens, 3 luxurious pools, right beside the Nile, amazing staff, bungalow style rooms, great bar - what more can I say.  I would recommend anyone to stay here  it is fabulous

Secluded location on a little island outside Luxor. Great location in the middle of the Nile if you are aware, that the city is 5 km away. You can order a taxi for 100 EGP. Spacious resort with several pools. Clean and large rooms. Food is good, that what you can and would expect.

This used to be a good hotel but not as good as it used to be. The room are looking dated nothing major done since the place was built. The pools could do with draining and a good clean the standard of the food is poor with stale bread and cakes. Took almost a week to fix the aircon in the rooms. I have been coming to this hotel since the late 80s it's beginning to lose it's charm. This will be the last time I visit with my family which is a shame after many good years

We stayed two nights there. On the positive side, it had clean and spacious rooms, a nice pool, large common areas and decent service. The breakfast was good, not perfect. On the negative side, the facilities are a bit worn out and no free wifi is offered in the rooms. Our room did not have a view to the river, instead it was on the street side which was quite busy and noisy. All in all, wet had a pleasant stay.

Make sure you ask for a Room with a view of the Nile, rooms facing the street have a view of the dirtier side of Luxor and you can hear the car horns / hooters and horse carts pretty much late into the night. Staff are friendly, but you have to still pay for WiFi.  The pool area and deck facing the Nile was probably my favourite part of the hotel though we did spend most of our time out sight seeing visiting the temples and valley of the kings.

Beautiful hotel with an amazing view of the Nile River! The shower had digital settings for the jacuzzi that was difficult to figure out but it was an updated bathroom. The hotel looks luxurious from the lobby all the way to the room and it was clean. Breakfast had a nice variety with lots of space for seating. Docking one star because the wifi was extremely slow that it was not working for even basic internet searches. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would come back the next time we are in Luxor.

November 2021 my partner and I have decided to leave for Egypt  to discover the land of the faraons.
we stayed 6 nights in the Mesala Hotel and to say it was a fantastic experience is an understatement!
on the roof there is a terrace overlooking the temple of Luxor, very good breakfast è vero morning, very kind and always available staff
and a proprietor who immediately proved to be fantastic by helping us on guided tours and always letting us be accompanied by people he trusts.

return? absolutely and I'm looking forward to it now!
highly recommended.
thank you el mesala hotel for this fantastic experience!

I had a wonderful experience at the El Mesala Hotel. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They are very respectful, friendly, accommodating and the owner of the hotel is very generous and hospitable. The location of the hotel is excellent because it is facing the Nile River which makes it easy to go to the East Bank.
We had a very memorable memories of Egypt because of the El Masala staff. They all treat us as one of their family member.
I highly recommend El Masala Hotel to all who would like to visit Luxor.

The hotel El Mesala is a great place to stay in Luxor. Located directly at the border of the Nile on the Westbank, this is a perfect spot to relax. The location is also very convenient to visit all highlights in Luxor and surroundings. Super friendly and extra flexible and very welcoming staff! A place not to be missed!

The Aracan is really a gem in Luxor. Conveniently located next to the Luxor Temple and overlooking the Nile River, its location is great and room is quiet. My room was really spacious, clean and bright - just as I wanted. The check-in receptionist was nice also to upgrade my booking from normal room to a river view room which has a cute balcony. The hotel also was so generous to allow me to check out late and hang around in the lobby until my evening flight.
Aracan really is 5 stars, and great great value for money for its price. Hotels staffs and crew were very professional, nice, curious and helpful. Super highly recommended!

Suggestion : Request for Non smoking rooms are possible.

Really nice hotel in a great location.
Room were very spacious, comfortable and clean and the hotel overall looks very modern and well maintained.
The hotel is very close to Luxor Temple, walking distance to Karnak temple and possible to walk to the markets too.

Our stay in this hotel was great but I think they have certain things which can be improved.
Regarding the room, we stayed in a room with a Nile view and a private bathroom. The bed was so comfortable I could sleep for hours. The air conditioner also works great. Be aware that if the balcony is open, the air con is not going to work.
The pool was a plus. We really enjoyed it and it is so necessary in a city like Luxor when the temperature can reach 40°.
Aspects they can improve in order to make easier the guest’s stay:

Wifi connection: The Wifi definitely does not work. If you log in and for 5 minutes don’t use your phone, the Wifi automatically logs out and you need to be every 5 minutes trying to reconnect. Furthermore, the way you log in is so annoying. In order to get the Wifi you need to fill in your “room number” and the password but you just need to write a random number. That really got on my nerves.
Please, improve your Wifi connection.
Breakfast: We stayed for three nights and the breakfast was included. The breakfast room is wonderful, you can pick a table alongside the window and appreciate the Nile river while you are having your breakfast.
The most alarming aspect I could notice is that they do not serve any FRUIT OR WATER!! The most common things you can find there are bread, jam, sugary juices, sausages, jam and cheese, potato, tomato, cucumber, eggs, cereals with milk, yogurt, among others. Yes, you might think: “Why is she complaining? Look at all this stuff”. I am vegan and sometimes my body doesn’t want tomatoes and cucumber at 6am. With tea, water, toast and some fruits I am happy enough. Not everyone likes to eat the same during breakfast and at least they could serve water and veggie milk so I can at least enjoy the cereals. I am talking about a 4STARS hotel where if you want water for breakfast they charge it to you.  If you see any fruits in my photos, they are the ones I earned after 10 minutes of bargaining with the street vendor.
Just a warning so you don’t get surprised.

Room is very nice size. Desk, bed, bathroom. Breakfast is amazing, freshly cooked when you want it, while looking out at the most spectacular view. Nassar, the owner, pays special attention to his guests, making sure that everyone is enjoying Egypt. Him and staff are willing to help with any of your needs. Great place. Would stay again. In the middle of town. If you stay there make sure to visit the little bakery around the corner. Delicious. Laundry right down the street, awesome couple that runs it. Only bad thing is no elevator, so you have stairs to walk up and down the stairs.

I had a nice stay at the hotel until today when I booked a tour through them and realized that I was charged the double than everyone else in the tour and the tour was half a day instead of the whole day. I would recommend the hotel yes but don't book tours with them!! I confronted them about it and they gave me back 50 egp instead of the right amount. I was planning to come back to this hotel with a friend in a few days and leave my bags here but the issue with the tour made me distrustful and I won't be coming back.

I was one night in Cléopâtra hôtel and it was great! Great location, very kind staff! On the last day of Ramadan we were offered a dinner we shared with other guests. Breakfast is consistent and delicious. Go for it!

I stayed here for a couple nights on my first time in Luxor, and when I come back I will definitely be staying here again. The rooms were very cleans, the staff was very friendly and helpful with what we needed (tour guides, transportation to and from hotel) and it is located in a convenient spot near a small supermarket and a fantastic restaurant called Al Sayeda Zainab Restaurant. This hotel is located on the West Bank of Luxor where it is more countryside as opposed to the city side (East Bank) which was nice because it is a quiet area. Also, the hotel itself is very beautifuly designed. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting this historical area.

I don't normally write reviews while still at the hotel,  but the so far amazing stay at this hotel has made me. First off this hotel, even compared to some western ones, is beautiful looking. It's nice Court yard and balconies really make it seem like a higher end hotel. Rooms are spacious,  and really clean. The roof top terrace is nice and offers great seating and views around.
The hotel is a short walk up from the ferry (about 5min) so although it's on the west Bank it very easy to just get on the ferry and cross to luxor Temple and all the shops are restaurants.

While staying here the staff has been absolutely amazing. No joke, they try had to make you feel like family and I have been absolutely welcomed. I honestly can not think of a hotel where I had better hospitality than this al hambra in all my travels. If you have the opportunity,  choose this hotel.

Very enjoyable stay, only stayed two nights. The room we stayed in was clean. The staff especially Mohamed were friendly, last day enjoyed tea and coffee on the rooftop with very nice views. They were situated near the sites we wanted to see valley of the Kings, Queens and the other tombs. Nicely priced drinks and the Egyptian tea was very nice. Overall a nice hotel with staff to match. Definitely would recommend.

This is an excellent hotel. We only stayed here a single night while waiting to board out Nile cruise. The rooms were well appointed and clean. The guest staff was accommodating and kind. There are extremely aggressive shop owners who heckle you if you get within 20 feet of their shops. It’s extremely off putting considering your walking from the lobby to the stairs and you’re not in a bazaar in the city. If they would have just left us alone I might have actually gone into the shops but I wasn’t interested in high pressure salesman in a very small shop.

The breakfast was very nice with more than European fare - I was pleased to see Egyptian food offered as well. The waitstaff did seem a little confused and would simply disappear for extended periods but overall they did a great job.

The pool and grounds were lovely and on the banks of the Nile at  Luxor. The pool is beautiful and not overly cold. The children had an excellent time.

The rates were excellent. I highly recommend staying here. I would have been happy to simply remain at the hotel instead of going on the cruise

This hotel is very nice. I will say the buffet could be better - they recycle food a lot from previous days and it’s obvious. However they have a great station for omelettes, pancakes, and freshly made meats for dinner.

Otherwise, the grounds of the hotel are absolutely stunning, right on the Nile with a wonderful pool. The gym also looks right out on the Nile.

Rooms are a bit small - especially the ones meant for 2 people - and on the older side in terms of renovation. But everything was very clean.

The best decisions about our trip to Egypt was to stay for 5 of 6 days in Luxor at the Luxor Hilton.  The location on the Nile was amazing, so beautiful and relaxing.  It was a great resort experience with all the lovely staff.  We loved the food options and ate nearly the entire time at the hotel.  We looked forward to breakfast every morning as well as chatting a bit with the lovely staff.  The pool and spa were fantastic and made a great combination of site seeing nearby and relaxing.  Truly unforgettable experience.

Wow this hotel is fabulous.
I loved the garden. A very well maintained garden.
The breakfast was outside on the garden with the fresh air and sun so perfect.
The room are spacious and well cleaned. We had enough space at the pool to enjoy with my friends.
The location was great walk distance for Luxor Temple and also near to the Nil. Everything was smooth.

We had a very nice stay in this hotel  Room was great, service was perfect. I really liked the garden. You can relax yourself anytime there. The reason for 1 star minus is the food in the barbecue/buffet restaurant for dinner in garden. I had a spaghetti which is so hard that it was not chewable. As a restaurant in a 5 star hotel this is not acceptable at all. Apart from it the hotel itself is just perfect.

Great service and attention to customer satisfaction at any time. The room is nice and spacious. The corridor has an old moquette that should be changed. There is a gorgeous garden and a nice swimming pool with a restaurant where delicious food is prepared. Nice service also at the check out as, due to an early check out, they prepared a box with breakfast. A nice oasis in Luxor!
