Nefertiti Hotel, Luxor

I had read lots of reviews for inexpensive hotels/hostels on the East Bank in Luxor, and one of them, the Nefertiti Hotel, stood out. It had all the things that we were looking for as well as a highly-rated restaurant and terrace on the roof that overlooks the Nile river. A huge breakfast buffet was included with our booking. The hotel, at the edge of the Luxor market is a 3-minute walk from the Luxor temple and the square and 4 km from the Colossi of Memnon statues.

Booking.com had this write up about it:

“Overlooking the ancient Luxor Temple, Nefertiti offers comfortable rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom. Luxor’s railway station is only a 10-minute walk away.
The rooms of Nefertiti enjoy a simple interior. Some of the rooms have a private balcony.
Nefertiti has a tour desk which offers Nile River cruises and several sightseeing trips in Luxor. It also has a convenient 24-hour front desk service.
A variety of drinks and Egyptian dishes are served on the rooftop terrace. Here, guests can also smoke a traditional Egyptian water pipe.
It is only a 20-minute drive from Luxor International Airport.”

The outside of the hotel is very old fashioned and unassuming and the rooms are small but the family that owns it have owned the hotel for a long time and have thought of everything. A kettle, hairdryer, toiletries, fresh towels every day, T.V., a balcony, comfortable beds, lights above our beds, a refrigerator, hangars in the closet, a safe box, and so much more.

It was perfect for us!Meer informatie
