Jewel Howard Carter Hotel

Meticulously clean Boutique Hotel with extremely attentive, friendly, proactive staff. Beautiful rooms and, probably, the best service I've received ANYWHERE IN Egypt. Excellent chef. SUPER beautiful, green, quiet location on the West Bank of the Nile ... and if you want to tap into the urban amenities of the East Bank, the concierge can arrange fast, easy, inexpensive transport at any time. This was my second stay, personally, but I have sent MANY groups of friends here since my first stay in 2022.

Breakfast was typically Egyptian, fresh juices and fruit every day. Every day a different kind of juice and fruit. They grow their own fruit, herbs and vegetables. Sustainable cooking for sure! The lunch and dinner were also very good. Varied choice and well prepared. The staff was very kind and friendly. They did their utmost best to make us feel at home. The manager always made sure that everything was done properly and he arranged all our trips. There was always someone to help and talk to. Everyone was very warm, kind and friendly. Our manager Said did a great job and Achmed one of the waiters made sure we enjoyed all our meals and stay. Rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious. The hotel has a spectacular view of the Nile. This hotel is a special place and I would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent time staying here. The staff was attentive to all our needs. They helped book taxis, hot air balloon rides, and pick up from the airport. Staying on this side of Luxor was a huge relief from the chaos of Cairo. They have their own kitchen so you don't need to run over to Luxor for an evening meal. The manager got back 50 dollars for our balloon ride when one of our group couldn't go at the last minute. They booked us our own taxi for the day to take us to the valley of the kings and queens. Wifi works fine. The pool was great.

This is a a true gem, a Jewel by the Nile. It's a bit harder to get to the West Bank when you have arrived on the East Bank. This place is worth that trip. The area feels a bit rural so when you arrive it's an oasis that unfolds. They have their own organic garden, which the staff will be happy to show you. Amazing restaurant in the patio, and service. Amazing personnel. All of them. High comfort. Attention to details. You will hear birds and some honking from boats on the Nile (instead of traffic on the East Bank). The manager Said will organise your private guide to all Luxor sights. The dialogue was so nice with them all, so I even told Said I would give him and his team a 10 rating. Good wifi in all areas is another plus.

The people of the hotel are very welcoming and helpful (but also a bit pushy sometimes). Rooms and beds are good. The pool and surrounding farmland are beautiful. Yiu are far away from the east bank of the Nile which is something to consider. But the we specificallt chose for this because it is more quiet and yiu have the opportunity to eat lovely authenitic food in the surrounding restaurants (which is actually eating at other peoples home)
