Iberotel Luxor by JAZ

Friendly staff and amazing property

When I arrived at the Iberotel, I did not like much what I experienced. My room was smaller than I thought it would be, with no desk to do some work. To get to the room, I had to go through a hallway with a strong smell of cigarette smoking. In addition, the room and the hotel looking dated. After staying there one night, my opinion changed once I got to experience more of the hotel. The hotel is well-located, near many restaurants. The breakfast spread was very good. I had a comfortable sleep and the smell of smoke in the hallway was gone for the remaining of my stay. The staff was genuinely helpful when I needed a place to work in the middle of the night that could maintain a good internet connection (Internet was solid in the room but I needed it to be flawless). Plus, the pool and garden areas are amazing. Swimming in the pool to the side of the Nile is just cool. So, I would go back here again and recommend to my friends.

We stayed for 3 nights. The rooms are rather dated but very clean. Excellent shower pressure and hot water! However the bathroom was a bit cramped. Definitely get a river view room if you can because the street view is not much to speak of. Our balcony door would not lock but we were on a higher floor and there is an in room safe so we didn’t feel worried about our things. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is great with many options to choose from. The gardens are extremely well kept and quite beautiful. The Sultana restaurant has a limited menu but the food was fabulous so we ate dinner there twice. There are many local and international restaurants within walking distance if you want something different. The best thing about this place is the location with close proximity to Luxor Temple—only an 8 to 10 minute walk. Karnak is also within walking distance if you want a longer hike (30 to 45 minutes) along the Nile but you will get harrassed by every boat captain and carriage driver along the way since they really need the business . In midday or late afternoon consider a carriage ride— the heat becomes oppressive. Avoid doing laundry here if you can. It’s very expensive at this hotel and we got much better prices at other places. Overall we had a nice stay.

Very nice 4 star hotel , good view
