Emilio Luxor

The good: -Central location in Luxor, very close to the Luxor temple The bad: -Very noisy from the outside -Poor breakfast in a room without daylight -small very dated rooms -not very clean -Unsafe Wifi -Lock of our door was broken, staff didn't manage to fix it during the 3 nights stay

My hopes weren’t high when we arrived in the tired, drab reception area and they weren’t lifted when we entered our room. The rooms are inadequately furnished with lack of space for suitcases and belongings. Everything is in desperate need of updating, including the bathroom. There was no shower curtain around the shower which was over the bath tub so the floor got soaked when showering. The shower head didn’t project enough to get under the water to actually shower. Not sure how we were meant to feel by the incongruous models made from the towels, topped with plastic flowers, which were displayed on the beds - a total waste of time which would be better spent cleaning the rooms - the wash hand basin remain uncleaned during our stay. The least said about breakfast the better starting from the plastic cups for very watery orange juice and tea made in a teapot and left to stew on a hot plate. Tables were covered in plastic sheeting I presume to save in replacing tablecloths. Everything was so unappealing - just don’t bother! The only saving grace was the rooftop pool - icy cold water but a great location overlooking Luxor Temple and the Nile. And a welcome relief from our room.

We had a great stay at this hotel where the staff is very welcoming and we appreciated their kindness towards us. The view on the terrace is beautiful. We recommend this hotel and we left with regret.
