Luxor Hotel Hurghada

Conveniently located near the city center and the sea, with nearby shops, restaurants, and a family beach. The staff is exceptionally friendly, helpful, and provides excellent service, including assistance with excursions.

I had a great stay at Luxor Hotel. I stayed for 5 nights while spending time diving and was very satisfied with everything. The hotel is located in El Dahar which is in the old town, so there is little of touristic interest nearby, although there is a family beach along the waterfront a 10 minute walk away which charges 50 LE entry, around £2 GBP (most beaches in the area charge admission). There is also a cool English bar (Egyptian version of English rather, so actually very Egyptian…) called Dabbie’s Cafe/Old School close by, as well as “Hurghada City Center” about quarter of an hour’s walk - a large shopping mall with coffee bars, shops and a large cinema. Funny Divers next door to the hotel also offers well priced diving excursions which was very convenient. For the price, the experience was great at the Luxor. The reception is stylish and comfortable, the staff are extremely kind and attentive (they often offered me mint tea), and my room was basic but had everything - a comfortable double bed, furniture and a private bathroom. The AC was good although did become a bit strong at times and didn’t seem adjustable, so I made good use of the bed blanket! There is also a nice roof terrace with sun loungers to use (albeit old rusty ones with paint which sticks to you…). I was able to order an airport shuttle through the hotel also for 200 LE. If splitting hairs, it was occasionally annoying only having WiFi in reception, but it did mean I got to see the staff and their adorable hotel kitten! The bathroom could’ve been cleaner also, and once or twice the attention from the staff was a little overwhelming. All in all, a great hotel and I would definitely recommend to everyone, as long as you don’t mind being a 15 minute drive from the Marina and new town where all the action is (Hint: Uber is crazy cheap!). Thank you guys!
