Well what can i say for a free stay in a hotel because our plane was grounded at London Gatwick for technical reasons.
We thought we may get a 3 or 4 star hotel, but when they said a 5 star, my eyes nearly popped out of my head. And we also got Nile View for nothing.
We had just finished a Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor and had been in Cairo for 3 nights what experience that was..
Only when i came back had the hotel changed management to the Nile Palace Hotel.
My opinions on the service was the reception staff were truly awful and this was at 7pm in the evening. As i was travelling with my parents we had especially asked for inconnecting rooms not to our ava, my room was up the hall being used by a separte traveller. We went back to reception complained no apology. Then our luggage got lost it when walkabout to the other side of the hotel as the reception staff had wrote down 151 and 161 instead of 15 and 16.
The facilities were great, massive big pool and they also do felucca rides down the Nile. Next to the hotel you have KFC, Hard Rock Cafe and a McDonalds down the road.
The food was ok even though it was buffet
I would stay again as the bathrooms were wonderful a massive sunken marble bath. Great Hotel if you wanna discover downtown Luxor at its best.
Unique Qualities: For me the it was great views of the Nile at night as the whole river was lit up. We was told the rooms which look out on to the city can be very noisy.
If you get a Nile View Room you get a lovely balcony/patio where you can sit and watch life go past.
