El Gezira Hotel

I would highly recommend this hotel. The staff are very friendly, especially Ragab, who was always smiling and making jokes. No problem was too big for him — he solved everything as if it were nothing. The accommodation offers excellent value for money. The location is perfect for visiting all the tombs and temples on the west side. They also provide excellent bike and taxi services, both of which I used during my stay

I had a wonderful time staying at El Gezira Hotel. The hotel is located on the West Bank, which is calmer than the East Bank. I found it a lot more relaxing. The East Bank is easy to reach by public ferry and the hotel is less than 5 minutes on foot from the ferry stop. I read a review by someone saying the area felt dodgy for female travellers - that wasn't my impression. I felt safe in the area and the hotel at all times. When I arrived, the hotel was fully booked, but I was told I could move to a better room the next day. It wasn't necessary, because my room was perfectly fine, but they did give me another room the next day. The new room was amazing: spacious, bright and with a balcony overlooking the garden. The garden is where you can enjoy your breakfast or other meals. Breakfast was included with my room and when I went out during breakfast times, they prepared a very generous breakfast box to take along. I booked a driver for a tour of the West Bank through the hotel without problems as well as a hot air balloon ride. The balloon ride was cancelled three days in a row, so when it looked like it might be possible on my last day in Luxor, they reserved a spot for me even though I hadn't confirmed yet, just to make sure I could go. I really appreciated how thoughtful it was! :) The best part of the hotel is probably the lovely staff. From Hamza at reception to all the other staff members I met, everyone was super friendly and welcoming, always making sure that I had a good time. I came back for a final night before returning home and I would absolutely stay there again during another trip to Egypt.

I have no complaints, everything was great :)

Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, sehr gut und nah gelegen an der Westbank an der Anlegestelle für die Boote, das Frühstück war draussen in einem schönen Garten und sehr lecker. Alle waren dort sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ich würde sofort wiederkommen.

El Gezira is in a great location, it is excellent value for money and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are large and breakfast is good. This was my second visit.

It offered everything I needed.
