Tours and prices for holidays at the hotel Amon Hotel 3* 2024-2025 Egypt, Luxor

+: We loved the location - on the quieter West Bank of the Nile, in a village where everyone knew each other and was so friendly. As we were there for two weeks, we actually felt welcomed into the community. People knew who we were and said hi - just from friendliness. There wasn't the stress of the highly touristic East side where the posh hotels are. We felt we'd made a great choice for our budget.The hotel itself was lovely. Clean and comfortable. Breakfast & the lovely evening meals we took in the gorgeous garden were great. They were made memorable by the kindness and friendliness from the staff. Staff were happy whether we ate at the hotel or chose to go out - we just let them know our plans in the morning. There are lots of good local restaurants - but we especially enjoyed 'Africa' and two right on the river 'The Lighthouse' and 'The Nile Rose'. We also loved a very nice cafe called Moon Cafe which had just opened. Good WiFi, lovely music, perfect cappucinos and amazing biscuits. We also ate there some evenings, and although the menu looks simple, the dishes were divine.Back at the hotel, hot water and WiFi were great 95% of the time. There was a fridge in the room and the staff gave us the use of a kettle - which we hugely appreciated.The pool was a boon for cooling off at the end of a hot day, and pool towels were provided.Mohamed, the proprietor, helped us plan our trips and sourced the most wonderful guide for us. As a group we were really interested in the historical and cultural details. Our guide, Mahmoud, had a PhD in the Coffin Texts. He was well connected and extremely well informed. We know from eavesdropping on other tours by less qualified guides that we had very high quality input. Mahmoud was very encouraging to one of the teenagers in our party with a passionate interest in history.

-: There was nothing that we didn't like (apart from an exchange rate hike - which made the trip much more expensive than we had planned for). The little sachets of shampoo provided had permanent black dye in them. I imagine it's a shampoo widely used in Egypt - but I only realised after using it twice, and others mentioning it, that my light hair had darkened significantly. Not a problem for me, but it could be for others.

+: 中庭での朝食は気持ちいいです。

-: 他の方のコメントにあるよに、チェックアウト時に事前支払いしているにも関わらず支払われていないと言われクレジットカード明細を確認して説明するのに時間と手間がかかった。

+: Hôtel bien tenu, confort de la chambre, propreté, bonne literie, bel espace extérieur arboré.

-: À peine arrivé, on vous réclame le prix du séjour. C’est extrêmement désagréable. Il n’est pas possible de payer par carte Visa, et il est obligatoire de payer en espèces (dollars ou euros). Je conseille d’avoir avec vous des dollars achetés chez vous au meilleur taux. La nourriture qui est servie est décevante en comparaison de ce que l’on trouve à l’extérieur, plus chère, même dans un autre hôtel (que je ne citerai pas) de plus grande classe, et très peu généreuse en quantité.J’ai quand même trouvé étonnant de pouvoir boire une bière dans ce même hôtel déjà cité (au bord d’une piscine chauffée) moins chère que celle de Amon Hôtel, et pouvoir y manger à meilleur prix et de bien meilleure qualité.Par contre, celle de Amon hôtel n’étant pas chauffée, est très peu praticable et ne bénéficie d’un passage du soleil que très fugace (période fin décembre 2024). J’y ai invité des amis, nous nous sommes baignés courageusement quelques minutes, ils avaient avec eux leurs serviettes de bain, et malgré tout, 200 livres égyptiennes (EGP) leur ont été réclamées chacun, pour ce « privilège ».Dans ce même hôtel toujours cité, avec une piscine légèrement chauffée et délicieusement attractive, et beaucoup plus grande, il nous a été réclamé 55 EGP par personne, et nous recevions chacun une serviette de bain. La dernière chose que j’ai trouvée complètement incorrecte, c’est qu’après avoir consommé une bière, il m’a été réclamé 160 EGP au lieu des 100 EGP habituelles, du jour au lendemain, sans prévenir. J’ai bien sûr refusé de payer cette augmentation arbitraire.

+: Nao conseguimos ficar no local. Procuramos rapidamente outro lugar. Saindo do hotel, barro na frente. Péssima localizaçao. O dono do hotel forçando para jantar no local. Mosca em todo lugar. Nao recomendo.

-: Localizaçao, limpeza, acolhimento

+: The room was very clean and the staff were helpful. I loved the location, which is very close to the ferry.

-: One of the staff members was romantically interested in me, which was very awkward because I have a fiance. He and the man next door both expressed their interest in me and did not stop asking even when I expressed I am not interested. However both men are very lovely people and so is the rest of the staff. I wish them all the best.

+: The staff were wonderful, the rooms overlooked a beautiful garden and dinner was the best!
