Facility is good. Few shops inside which was good as the sellers are not pushy and they just let you in their stores and look around and buy when you like. Food is also good. But as with other high end resorts in Egypt the workers tend to entertain/care more for caucasians which is sad as we (asians) pay the same price as them but they dont really tend much to our needs.

Not as inclusive to all race. Hotel workers tend to entertain/care only for caucasians which is sad as we (asians) pay the same price as them. Workers dont really tend to our needs unless you give them money but you can see them circling around caucasians.

The view from the rooms in the main building to the Nile river is impressive, the restaurant and the terrace have the same view.

It is not exactly in the center of. The city, so you need to take a cab 10 min to the center (Luxor temple&museum), every time you have to call a cab (we used Indrive), it is very cheap: 1$ USD, but the taxi drivers outside of the hotel are not happy with us ordering Indrive, so share your taxi number to the reception to let him in to the hotel’s territory.

The Nile view from the balcony is the most wonderful experience, beautiful sights plus the special comfort in the room takes it to another level. I certainly did the best choice selecting this hotel to enjoy all the beauty from Luxor.

At the beginning my room didn’t exactly met my expectations but thank you to Mustafa Elganzory who was so so very kind and helpful; he listened to anything I need and he was the one of the main reasons to change my mind for this trip …if I will come back again next time it will be because of him…thanks to him I could get the best stay in Luxor; absolutely everything was in place and ready to enjoy at best my stay

I liked how Ahmed the Receptionist was kind and fast, to my request even though I arrived a bit earlier he manage to have a room available for me. And made all my stay very informed and comfortable. The place is actually really nice and the restaurant was what I was expecting and even more because food was really good. They also have tourist packages available, I already had mine ready before arriving but is good to have that option available. It was clean and not noisy.

The pool area overlooking the Nile is so peaceful. All the staff were very helpful and polite. Everyone gave us a service with a smile, in particular the pool staff and Ashraf at the restaurant who provided me delicious gluten free bread.

It is not walking distance to Luxor museum, nonetheless there are a lot of taxis and carriages ready to drive you there with reasonable fees. The buffet dinner had a limited choice in dishes on offer.

We loved everything about our stay at the Steigenberger Achti. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, from the lovely Magda on reception, to the restaurant and bar staff, pool staff and our room attendant Osama, whose wide-ranging repertoire of towel sculptures was adorable 😊 We booked all our excursions in and around Luxor through Nasco Tours, who have their own desk near reception. They were superb and we were fortunate to have a top notch tour guide, Nana, for all of our trips. Her depth of knowledge of Egyptology was astounding and she made everything interesting, fun and safe. Absolutely sensational. We booked half board at the hotel and I'd been a little worried by a few reviews here saying there wasn't much selection at the buffet (which is the only choice for half board as the pizzeria and middle eastern restaurants are not included). I don't understand these reviews at all. There was an incredible amount of choice, for all tastes, at breakfast and dinner. A special shout out to whoever the pastry chef is. Incredible range of desserts of exquisite quality. The location of the hotel on the Nile front was perfect and watching the sunsets at dinner with the feluccas sailing by and a live band playing Egyptian music on the lawn in front ... how can you not like this? Excellent value for money and a memorable experience all round.

The aircon in the room was a little noisy. We had to get assistance to get a decent download speed on the wifi (we were getting less than 2MB/s but they were very understanding and helped us to get 80MB/s on one device). As others have noted, whilst free bottled water in our room was plentiful, it felt a bit mean having to pay for just a glass of water with dinner when you're paying half board. But I guess you can always take a bottle down with you from your room!

The view ,comfort of the bed and staff are extremely helpful and understanding

Restaurant opens late after 5 pm not at lunch time so you don’t have a choice except for one restaurant or room service

The property was very clean, the staff competent and they offered multiple services for the customers, like tv, wifi, swimming pool facing the Nile river. The view of the room was stunning and the facility very comfortable.

I really liked everything, nothing I disliked.

Good buffet breakfast and evening meals on a terrace overlooking the Nile. Also Middle Eastern themed restaurant and a comfortable bar with a similar view. Local floor show entertainment on an evening. Two nice pools. Just a short taxi ride from Luxor and Karnak temples and walking distance to several good restaurants. Very good travel desk to organise your sightseeing. Excellent fourth floor spa with very reasonably priced facilities including sauna and various massage options, highly recommended. All staff are friendly and courteous. Ian

A/C did not warm the room in February so it was a little chilly on an evening.

Ckeaneless, location, great service.
