Nefertiti Hotel

My husband and I stayed here from April 14-19 2008. I had booked via the hotel's webpage after reading the reviews, and got a fast and polite reply. We were supposed to arrive from Cairo on the 15th, but changed plans since we got tired of the pollution and noice of Cairo. There were no problems getting the room sooner, and when we decided to stay a day ekstra it was fine too. We got a room with a balcony (facing north), two beds and a bathroom. Everything was very clean, even though a bit run down. The room was spacious and very nice,... more

We stayed here 4 nights and felt it was excellent value for money. The rooms are basic, but clean. The breakfast isn't bad, but extremely slow. We had an early start one morning and wanted a quick breakfast at "opening time". The "chef" told me I'd have to wait until he'd finished folding the napkins before I could even order! This alone took 15 minutes! Shouldn't he have done this before he "opened"? I digress... The location is ideal for seeing things throughout Luxor. The staff were generally superb and we arranged a great balloon trip... more

Stayed four nights with my wife and our children, who are young adults. A good value for this price range, with clean rooms and friendly, helpful staff. (Rooms on the north side of the hotel may be quieter.) A real plus at the Nefertiti is the associated travel service. This being our first trip to Egypt, we did the mainstream activities -- Karnak, West Bank tombs, balloon ride, felucca trip, etc. -- and in each case the hotel set us up with friendly, professional and efficient folks. (Thanks, Nasser.)

Fab hotel. We are just spending our last night of 4 here. Lovely clean rooms. Cleaned daily. V. friendly staff. Sight seeing trips a must. Excellent guide "Aladen" for the Valley of the Queens & Kings. Balloon ride nice but dissapointed with view. Excellent location. We are an Irish Family staying here with our 2 sons age 11 & 12. Took 2 rooms. The boys loved it, expecially the pool table on the roof top cafe. Woud recommed it to anybody.

This was a great budget hotel. Location in the middle of things with a view of the Luxor temple from the roof. That did make it a little loud, but no worse than other budget hotels we stayed at in Egypt, and earplugs solved the problem. Very friendly and helpful staff who helped arrange an excellent tour of the Valley of the Kings, etc. Very good breakfast each morning. Cheapest internet access we found in Egypt (LE5 per hour). Clean room with air conditioning, though it wasn't something we needed in December. The only complaint was the... more

The problem with Nefertiti Hotel is that the accommodation is great value for money and very comfortable but the staff (unfortunately, like many but not all Egyptians) attempt to scheme/deceive you out of money at every opportunity. The Accommodation: The accommodation itself is very good for a budget hotel. It is clean and with a powerful air con. For the price that we paid, and compared to other budget hotels, it was above average. It also has a nice roof bar, downstairs kebab shop, internet and even a pool table. The... more

Nice budget hotel, full of backpackers right in the center of Luxor. Excellent views from the roof bar...waterpipe smoking available!!

This is the best budget hotel I have stayed in *ever* -- and I've stayed in *a lot* of budget hotels all over the world. It had great reviews in the Rough Guide and Marco Polo, so I called the hotel directly and booked a room. My partner and I loved this place. Not sure what's changed in four years, but at the time, the rooms and linens were clean, the breakfast hearty, the service *outstanding*, and the staff genuinely friendly. We asked for a tour of ancient sites in Luxor and told Aladin what we wanted; he sized us up and booked us on a... more

In Egypt you get what you pay for. Despite their slick and friendly website this hotel was very low grade. This is a cheap hotel and the rooms reflect this. Bookings seem to make no difference in Egypt..especially if you specify where you want your rooms aspect. After booking months in advance and requesting a room with a view towards the valley of the kings across the Nile, we were put in the back. One of the rooms was much worse than the other, a bathroom that flooded to start with. In Egypt you need to see the rooms... more
