Dear Jason, I'm sorry you feel that way and I'm even more sad you did not mention anything to me or the receptionist when i met you before you went on your west bank trip. The room you were staying is a large room, quiet, was painted last month, has new curtains and a large bathroom with a balcony to the Nile and temple. I would like to know what did not meet your expectations. Best wishes, Karin

There was nothing that we didn’t like. The room was a little dated but comfortable. Our shower was very small, but my dads room had a giant walk-in shower. The balcony overlooked the pool and the Nile. The restaurant food was great and inexpensive. (Our average meal for 2 people was under $20 for all.). The breakfast buffet was yummy as well. The staff was great and friendly.

We loved our stay at this hotel. Reasons: The staff from the two owners, the manager, all the resteraunt staff and domestic staff were kind, helpful and efficient The breakfast was excellent and the rooftop terrace had spectacular views across The Nile to Luxor The cost was modest considering the facilities eg lovely pool I cannot recommend it highly enough

Average hotel
We upgraded our room to the best new room on the top most 4th floor by paying extra per night. The room was spacious with a separate sitting area by the balcony and the view was great, although the amenities and toiletries were very inadequate. No free water and very poor internet connection.

As soon as we arrived we felt like part of the family. Harmada and Karin (spelling?) are the nicest couple you could hope to meet and their staff are a credit to them. The hotel is ideally located right by the ferry so Luxor temple and the museum are just a boat ride away. This is a great base for the west bank tomes and the east bank temples. Good food and great price accommodation definitely make it worth a look. The suprise birthday cake really made our stay special.

I stayed at the Nile Valley Hotel for three nights. It's located on the west bank, so it's closer to the Valley of the Kings/Queens/Nobles, but it's farther away from the majority of restaurants, the airport/train station, museums, Karnak, and Luxor Temple. However, the ferry port is just a short walk away from the hotel and getting across the Nile is cheap and easy. The staff was friendly and the room amenities/cleanliness was decent, about what you'd expect for the price. Overall, I was happy with my stay at the Nile Valley Hotel.

Nice quiet hotel near the valley of the kings
This was a great hotel stay at to be near the valley of the Kings. I had a very nice sized room with a balcony and nice view of the Nile. The place is a bit dated, but they keep up nicely. WiFi did not work in my room, but they tried to get it to without success. The pool was very nice and refreshing.

Karen the owner greeted me when I entered the hotel. I felt safe and welcomed. The restaurant on the roof was very nice and the service and food was excellent!! The only negative was the last night I was there, the laundry they did for me stunk, it was never cleaned. A few days earlier the laundry they did for me was perfect. The view of the Nile and East bank from the hotel was great and access to the water taxis was a very short walk away.

Great Place to Stay
Lovely little inexpensive hotel with very friendly staff. The hotel is across the river and very close to the landing area of the boat. Our room was very comfortable with a good hot shower and located next to the pool. The terrace is a lovely place to hang out and have breakfast or dinner. Food is great. On our last night, the owners put on an Egyptian evening which was great fun. The young boy who looked about 10 and was the son of one of the musos was absolutely unbelievably talented. The staff are very kind and helpful and most speak very good English.

The pool is fun and clean enough :) we had the idea we were the only ones in the hotel whilst in high season but we absolutely loved it! Located nearby the ferry station if you want to go to the East bank so very handy! The prices are very very reasonable, you’ll get a lot in return.

Meilleure place de Louxor.
L’établissement est une pépite. Les chambres sont grandes et propre, conforment aux photos sur le site. Le coin piscine est excellent, la terrasse du restaurant avec vue sur le temple de Louxor est également un gros plus. L’établissement est très proche du ferry permettant de rejoindre l’autre rive du Nil pour 5LE seulement. Mais malgré tout cela, la meilleure chose dans cet hôtel est le personnel. Tout le staff est exceptionnel, souriant, agréable et à votre disposition pour que vous passiez le meilleur séjour possible de n’importe quelle façon. Je recommande fortement.

This hotel has BED BUGS :( After staying here for one night I was covered in bites from head to toe. I checked the mattress and sure enough: bed bugs. I had to find new accommodation and spent the rest of the trip feeling itchy and gross. It's a shame because the people that worked there were really nice.

Petit déjeuner complet. Le restaurant est très bien également, avec une superbe vue ! Extrêmement bien placé, proche du ferry et des commodités. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour et nous reviendrons dans cet hôtel si nous repassons un jour par Louxor.

Dear Sir, thank you for staying with us, we understand the dissapointment that we cannot find a car for you at 1:30 AM, as we have warned you that Carim Taxi does not work on the west bank, our night manager was not able to find a car in the middle of the night and has told you to take a motorboat to the other side and take a taxi from there, we have warned you that this was going to happen. There is no need to leave a negative review because of something that is not our fault. best wishes to you,

Séjour agréable, même cet hôtel aurait besoin d'un sérieux rafraichissement. Cela dit le personnel est extrêmement serviable et prévenant, particulièrement Khairy le manager qui peut vous aider à organiser vos activités à de tarifs compétitifs, quoique toujours négociables. De plus, l'hôtel est situé dans un quartier vivant et agréable de la rive Ouest de Louxor, tout prêt d'un embarcadère très fréquenté pour la rive Est, et à loin du bruit et de l'agitation du centre de Louxor.

Le Nile Valley, vaisseau amiral des hôtels du West Bank, dresse sa proue en première ligne des rives du Nil. De son gaillard d'avant, somptueuse et imprenable vue sur le temple de Louxor, en face. Le ferry et la station de bus sont à un jet de pierre et la Vallée des Rois à une poignée de kilomètres. C'est dire que c'est hôtel jouit d'une belle rente de situation ! Y petit- déjeuner (copieusement) sur la terrasse panoramique, au soleil levant, dans le ballet des montgolfières est un pur régal de tous les matins. Les chambres sont correctes, certaines plus que d'autres. Le service y est assuré. Évitez celles côté nord et privilégiez celles de la nouvelle aile. Le cas échéant n'hésitez pas à en demander une mieux située. Vos hôtes se feront un plaisir de vous en proposer selon leurs disponibilités contre un modeste supplément. On y mange à la carte, généreusement et pour un bon rapport qualité-prix. La piscine, un véritable atout, est propre et chauffée. Elle dispose d'un généreux pool house. L'ensemble correspond aux standards d'un 3 étoiles egyptien. Seul bémol, les installations techniques sont capricieuses... Mais Karin et Hamada, très sourcilleux sur la qualité de leurs prestations, ne manqueront pas d'y remédier rapidement. Aux alentours, ambiance bon enfant qui n'a rien à voir avec le stress de l'East Bank. Plein de petits commerces et d'endroits à découvrir. Enfin l'hôtel peut organiser toutes vos excursions. Un grand merci à toute l'équipe, a la revoyure !

Great place for many reasons
Nile Valley is a Great Place for several reasons; Location on the quiet West Bank is perfect in relation to boats across the Nile to the noisy city and Karnak Temple, visit to Valley of Kings and early balloon ride. There is a little town with shops. Management is very helpfully and arranged tours, pickup in airport, guide and balloon ride for us. Staff is nice, helpful and charming and there is always someone around. Rooms are large with balcony and nice bathrooms and the beds finer than most places. Pool area is fine, you can rest and sunbathe on clean towels and have your lunch there Restaurant is roof top with a view over the Nile, food is great and cheap, available early morning till late night and they serve alcohol. Strongly recommended!
