"This hotel is being slowly shut down with no investment whatsoever n facilities. Pool bar is mothballed and pool unuseable and dirty! Was a huge effort just to get towels and toilet roll to the room!!"

"Shady hotel has a very kind manager, staff and service, but it is suffering from lack of tourists. The room is clean and nice, but the bathroom is lacking service of taps."

"If you only care about location and a cheap price, then this place would work for you. This hotel needs lots of TLC. For me it seems like this place used to be a very good hotel, but they have neglected maintenance. Everything was old (beyond usual wear and tear), especially the mattresses. The restaurant's prices are really inflated, and honestly for nothing. Anyhow, the reception and bell hop staff were friendly and helpful. "

"The hotel is a very old building.The location is in oldest district ."

Pics don’t do it justice

"The hotel is a lot better looking than the pictures suggest. It’s also in a nice and relatively clean area with shops that aren’t charging you tourist prices and the hotel room with the Nile view is a lot better if you can get them!"

"Staff and security were very welcoming.Check in was quick and very informative about activities and all the amenities they offer.Room was very comfortable with a mini fridge which allowed us to stay in and eat in after being outside in the Luxor heat.Swimming pool was so relaxing with nice view of Nile river and mountains in distance.Continental breakfast with fresh pastries,omelettes,and fruit was the perfect start to the day.Would definitely recommend and would stay again.Also very close to everything and great central point for all activities"

"Just checked out of the Old Winter Palace, a quietly dignified landmark built in 1886 for British aristocrats wintering in Luxor. Its faded grandeur still lingers—shaded colonnades, clipped gardens, and that peculiar hush found only in places touched by history. Howard Carter was staying here when news broke of Tutankhamun’s tomb; the echoes of that moment still seem to drift through the high shutters and marble halls. A retreat not of excess, but of atmosphere."

5/5 Excellent

"This hotel is centrally located just minutes away from Luxor Temple and adjacent to the town market for souvenir shopping. Breakfast is served on the roof, but after that it turns into a full restaurant which also provides excellent lunch and dinner options. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating and the rooms were very well maintained. The only item small negative was that the rooms are pretty small (especially relative to the size of the bed), which makes it difficult to move around and open up luggage. But this is a just a minor inconvenience and should in no way affect your decision to stay here."

MS Historia The Boutique Hotel Nile Cruises (3/4/7 nights from Aswan or Luxor)

5/5 Excellent

Absolutely Amazing 5* Cruise on The Nile.

"An Exceptional Nile Cruise Experience – Highly Recommended! We had the absolute pleasure of spending three nights aboard the MS Historia – The Boutique Hotel Nile Cruise, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped on board, the service was nothing short of outstanding. The staff were incredibly attentive, warm, and always ready to help with a smile. The ship itself is spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and offers a true sense of boutique luxury. The food deserves a special mention — each meal was a culinary delight! We were treated to exquisite 7-course meals that were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making dining a real highlight of the trip. Overall, this was a truly memorable experience and one we would highly recommend without hesitation. Whether you start in Aswan or Luxor, MS Historia offers a perfect blend of comfort, service, and authentic Nile cruising charm. We can't wait to return!"

Great Location, Good Price, 3 Star Hotel

"Hotel is in a great location in Luxor, super central with the opportunity for a river side Nile walk all the way down to Luxor Museum and Temple. Not the highest standard, but for the great price, fine for a couple nights while exploring Luxor."
