“An unexpected, wonderful surprise!! LOVED IT”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

I came here with my family (my 60 yr old parents + 21 yr old sister) based on TripAdvisor reviews. Having had a few previous disappointments regarding accommodation in Egypt, I was not sure what to expect. However, this hotel was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The service was excellent and attentive since our arrival ; the owner was always around and the management is very customer oriented, you can tell.

The hotel has a simple Lobby, good enough to wait for a few minutes or book excursions. The restaurant is lovely - you can enjoy a meal either at their rooftop (which has without a doubt, one of the best -if not THE BEST- view of the Nile and the Temple of Luxor. The food was very good, service very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was nice, included cold cuts, beverages, cereal, breads, mezze etc. Overall, it was good and more than we would've expected.

We booked a Quad room for 2 nights, and the room was outstanding. It seemed quite new, the decoration was just right: white, cozy, and minimalist. They bedsheets were new, and as comfortable as they get in any 3-4 star hotel. The bathroom was clean, everything inside the room worked perfectly and was in very good state (aircon, TV with satellite, telephone,etc).

I dont know if this hotel has been rated with stars, but it certainly is a 3star hotel in terms of quality and service. Therefore, the value for money is great. The hotel is an excellent base for you to discover Luxor, and just hang out there if all you want is to relax. I didnt take pictures, but their website shows some. I highly recommend this hotel for any sort of travelers- families, couples, young solo travelers and seniors. The hotel doesnt have an elevator just yet, so if you require a lower floor tell them in advance.

Overall, a wonderful stay that exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed it to the max and would definitely come back here again.

Room Tip: The hotel has no elevator, and there are 4 floors. Make a special request if you want to make sure y...

“Great place away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012 via mobile

Were there on honeymoon. We fell in love with the place once we set foot at the hotel. The staffs were great and awesome. They ensured that everything went well for us. Extended our stay from initial 2 nights to 5 nights. Good place to just relax and read a book away. An excellent choice of accommodation for anyone visiting Luxor. Sure to visit the place again when we are back!!

5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012 via mobile

Stayed here for just one night on my way to Aswan. Great staff, friendly and helpful without being pushy. Clean room and bathroom, fab roof top terrace with great dinner menu. Staff helped me book onto a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the valley of the kings, highly recommended. Top place!

“Great all round”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

Great value. Great location for Luxor Temple, near souk. Staff very helpful, especially Muhammad. Excellent restaurant. Hearty breakfast. Staff responded quickly to faulty light bulbs. No lift, so choose floor carefully -- note breakfast is on roof terrace. Wifi unstable. Hotel is in a lane, easy to miss. Wrongly marked by GPS. Be warned that Luxor has tons and tons of touts and hustlers, more than any other Egyptian tourist city.

Room Tip: Balance between low floor (no lift) and further from street noise.

“Backpacker´s paradise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 28, 2012

Nerfertiti was our calm oasis in Egypt. The hotel is modern and clean. Our room was comfortable with hot shower, satellite tv, towels, you name it! Nefertiti even had a delicious breakfast buffet, perfect for vegetarians like us! All the reviews are true, it is a very good budget hotel tucked away from all the noise of the bustling city. The roof top patio has stellar views of the Nile and Luxor temple.The owner Aladin and his wife Femke were always helpful, friendly and catered to all our needs. We booked a romantic felucca tour with them and was very happy. Great place to meet other fellow backpackers. Awesome location, walking distance to Luxor temple and Luxor temple. A gallop away from Karnak temple.

Initally we were going to stay for 3 days and ended up staying for a week! That´s how amazing this place was, they treat you like family. We highly reccomend staying at Nefertiti, you will love it! We´re glad we did! THANK YOU AGAIN!

P.S. This hotel is a 5 minute walk from the train station.

Room Tip: We we´re located on the 3rd floor, a floor away from the patio and good view of surrounding areas.
