The sofitel is a strange hotel on the outskirts of Luxor. It’s way past its prime and the staff are very weird, but the grounds are nice, rooms are comfortable and taxis are readily available. Firstly, if you’re British and/or you like spending all your time with British people, this is the hotel for you. We’re Aussies but it was... more

Booked online through Thompson and had a great time. So much to see and do in and around Luxor, I wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel resort is beautiful: The rooms are clean, spacious, light and airy and the beds are comfortable. They do come quite early to clean them but are happy to come back later if... more

I would just like to start by saying a huge thank you to Hotel Sofitel Karnak staff and Discover Egypt staff for an absolutely fantastic holiday. We stayed for two weeks and were treated like royalty. The Hotel is in such a beautiful setting on the banks of the Nile and the grounds are very well looked after. We had... more

We arrived at this supposedly 5star luxury hotel/resort we lasted one night and soon moved, the room was filthy dirty, the curtains had holes in them, the warddrobe handle was hanging off, and the safe was broken, we eventually got our room changed to another room which was no better, the whole place was dull and gloomy and extremeley dirty... more

Just returned from the Sofitel Karnak and have to say we absolutely loved it ! We had a really big room with an enormous bed and best of all 24hr air conditioning which you really needed because the weather was sweltering ! The room was cleaned every day and towels replaced every day, overall we were very pleased with the... more

This hotel was selected from the Thomson brochure as a special, luxurious treat. It was 100% disappointing. Crowded, noisy and right on the outskirts of the town, down a long drive and shut off by high walls and guards, you really could be at a cheap European resort as it fills up with large tour groups. Rooms, in blocks with... more

We spent a week a the Sofitel Karnak at the end of July '08. As I had made all the decisions with regards to the hotel, I was nervous but I needn't have been as the hotel totally exceeded both mine and my family's expectations! We booked the hotel and transfers seperately with Hotels4U.com (owned by Thomas Cook) and booked... more

My wife and I decided to go on a holiday without our two daughters and selected this hotel over many others after careful consideration - and I must say we read a few things on here days before we left (6th August 2008) and worried about our choice. However there is no need to worry - the Sofitel Karnak was... more

Arrived at the Sofitel for the final leg of our stay in Egypt. We picked the hotel after hearing the Sheraton was having building work and I'm very pleased we did. As you travel out of town and then down the drive to the main building you can't help but notice the fantastic gardens. The hotel is a sprawl of... more
