Booked this 'just in case' and I stayed 1 night. Drab and shabby reception area and the bedroom was no better. All I can say is the bed was clean because the whole place was truly awful The bath had paint patches over the chipped enamel and the towels were grey, unusable. Window onto the balcony had no lock and... More

This hotel has amazing views as it has a rooftop swimming pool (as does every rooftop pool in Luxor lol)............... BUTTTTTTTTTTTT the staff are not friendly at all, unless you're showing that you're naiive and never been to Egypt before. They trick you at every opportunity, including never giving change. Swimming pool staff take 30 minutes to fetch even the... More

Located in the area know as "little Britain " and within walking distance of Luxor temple temple and some nice restaurants nearby, the Lantern being my favourite. Room was clean and large enough but very noisy with traffic from the street, and unless you have a room above the 5th floor, you cannot see the Nile due to the large... More

There are many reasons for choosing New Pola if you want to go to Luxor. First of all: It is very good value for money. You stay extremely cheap in a clean and nice hotel with a comforting swimming pool on the roof.Next: The location is ideal for trips to the most exciting places of interest as well as to... More

I have stayed at the Pola on four occassions most recently in April 2012, and have found it to be very good value for money and an excellent base for exploring Luxor. The Coptic owners are very nice and friendly, and despite the dark reception area, this Hotel is very clean and well cared for. The rooms are clean, basic... More

Nice comfy rooms and standard breakfast. But travel republic rep made us move after a morning as too few guests and too dark. We however were enjoying the place. Great views and clean pool area. Moved to St Josephs which was super.More later

I usualy stay in the New Pola overnight or at most a couple of days on my arrival in Luxor whilst my flat is being prepared,I have always found the rooms very clean with freshly laundered linen,The breakfast is very poor and I usualy just have coffee and cereal,The waiters can be a bit persistent trying to get you to...

Dreary reception, dreary, room, dreary service! Having said that, the hotel was fairly empty in March/April 2011, but the reception desk remained unhelpful when we asked to change room. Breakfast was okay - if you like mashed potato and salad and cheese and Egyptian 'ful' beans and bread. Actually I did, but it would have been nice if anyone had... More

We were very impressed by the quality of room and location of hotel. Outstanding. Staff were quite enthusiastic overall. On the other hand, breakfast was about worst I have experienced. Toast and coffee (surely a bare minimum) was difficult to obtain. How do you run out of instant coffee? Wifi was free but did not work... and don't let them... More
