Nile Castle

Incredible view

The view was too incredible that I couldn’t take it all in.

Mohammed and his family made this the best holiday ever. The service was excellent especially Adam and Mustafa. They made me feel like I was part of the family. The hotel is newly refurbished and you can tell. The views are amazing. From my room on the top floor you can see the opposite bank and the Nile for miles. The gents organised all my excursions including the Valley of the Kings, Queens and Workers, Luxor and Karnak temple. My guide Hadji was highly knowledgeable, caring and funny. The felucca ride with Cpt Ahmed was amazing. So I took it out again the next day but this time at night. Will be going to Luxor again and will definitely be staying at the Nile Castle.

Spacious room, very clean, great view over the Nile and towards Luxor temple. Large, comfortable bed. Got a free room upgrade because it was very quiet! Great value for money. Location is well-suited for tours on the west bank, and the public ferry to the city is a 5-minute walk away (or you can take a motorboat). Staff is very friendly and helpful in arranging tours and transfers, especially Adam was always available and willing to help. Breakfast was great, good variety (eggs, bread, fresh juice, yoghurt, rice pudding). Food in the restaurant was among the best I've had in my stay in Egypt!

Only a minor issue: the room had several gaps around the door and window, leading to bad insulation (room heats up quickly without AC on) and mosquitos were able to enter the room.

We've stayed a few times before the renovations and loved it. Right on the West bank (the quiet side of the Nile) overlooking the Nile. With the renovations - WOW! European standard rooms/bathrooms. Every room has a balcony. The property has a LIFT! We love this place so much, we extended our stay (again!). Peaceful environment. Wonderful owner, Mo. Fabulous staff - Mustafa in the restaurant; the VERY elegant older gentleman serving breakfast, the reception staff - very helpful to book trips and give information; the cleaners. Very good breakfast included. The restaurant is also open for purchase meals/drinks/dinner in an elegant, peaceful, air conditioned environment. We wouldn't stay anywhere else. Wonderful value for money.
