Look no further. Stay here!! This has been our favourite accommodation in Egypt. Hands down. The staff were exceptionally polite and helpful. The views of Hatshepsut temple from the roof terrace was amazing. We enjoyed the views from the pool as well as over breakfast. The breakfast was plentiful and they aimed to please us. They took time to get to know our preferences and adapted things to help us such as making scrambled eggs instead of omelette for our fussy children! The room we had was enormous and clean. We ate dinner here both evenings because we could order Egyptian food for the adults and Western food for the kids and it was reasonably priced as well as being delicious. For a family of 5 a private boat to the other side of the Nile worked out cheaper than the ferry. We just hailed taxis and haggled for a good price to visit Karnak, Luxor Temple, Felucca ride, Valley of Kings, Colossi of Memnon, Hatshepsut Temple and Medinat Habu. All were amazing....but a bit hot in August!!

The rooftop bar and swimming pool are an oasis. Good sized pool, beautiful Mountain View and quiet by Egyptian standards. There are many staff but they just want you to be comfortable. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and an ensuite bath and shower. They are cleaned thoroughly daily. There is a kettle, fan and balcony

The internet was intermittent for 2 days and there was a bit of maintenance noise. I suspect this is typical for Egypt - it is a noisy country compared to Europe and the technology isn’t always reliable. The manager did everything he could to resolve issues and ensure comfort.

The rooftop pool was great and the views at anytime of day were incredible, especially during breakfast when the hot air balloons are out. Staff were always helpful and all made me feel at home! Ali and his father were there to check me in and out, they are more than happy to organise transport and tours for you. Service wasn't forced, but the team will help with everything you need, very laid back. Rooms were kept clean and new towels daily. The ferry to the east bank is a 20ish minutes walk from the hotel and runs 24 hours.

WiFi was not great in the rooms, majority of my plug sockets weren't working and the location was fine for me but might be challenging others.

We really enjoyed our stay at Thebes Hotel. It was very clean, with a fantastic rooftop restaurant and rooftop swimming pool, overlooking the Valley of the Kings. Our room was spacious, quiet and very comfortable. Breakfasts on the rooftop were great and the owner kindly provided free tea and cakes on Thursday afternoons. He also made a point of greeting us personally which we thought was a nice touch. He also kindly organised a sunrise hot air balloon trip for us, which was superb. The hotel has lovely gardens on the ground floor which you could easily miss. From top to bottom, we thought the Thebes Hotel was a lot tidier and aesthetically pleasing than many others. Also, the hotel benefits from being down a short path (approx 75m) off from the main road, so we didn't here any road noise at night. Access from Thebes Hotel to the hot air balloon site, and to all the west bank attractions could not have been better, and way easier than travelling from the east bank. Within minutes we were exploring Valleys of the Kings, Queens, Nobles, and Workers, Memnon, Hatshepsut and Medinet Habut. It was all so quick and easy. In the evenings we could have eaten at the rooftop restaurant, but we wanted to explore. We found a number of great restaurants on the Nile, just 5 minutes away by tuk-tuk. We had no trouble getting tables on the riverbank at Thebes Restaurant and Nile View Restaurant, both superb. It's a similar short trip to and from the ferry terminal on arrival and when its time to leave.

Nothing not to like.

Arguably the best place in Luxor to visit the West Bank. Located at the end of a side street off the main road near public transportation (mini busses and taxis) and small shops. Less than 5 minutes by car to the Colossi of Memnon and just a little further to the ticket office. They have a vast choice of services including a laundry service, taxi to the airport or any other destination, the rental of a felucca. You name it and they most likely will be able to help you out. We stayed in the junior suite. It was clean, cool, spacious and quiet. The food is good and reasonably priced. We planned on staying for just 5 nights, but extended our stay with 2 nights just because they were so nice. The owner Mohammed and the staff were very helpful, polite and kind. Always ready to help us out. I am not much of a breakfast person, but really enjoyed the nice variety of food... coffee, tea, water, feta cheese, freshly baked bread, eggs, jam, etc... The views from the rooftop across the Valley of Queens and the Valley of the Kings are simply breathtaking. It is so nice to wake up every morning to this beauty. And to make things even better, you can take it all in with a cool drink from the side of the pool and if you wake up early enough you can even see all the colorful hot air balloons take off and fly by. A truly amazing sight... just a few a few steps away.

The hotel itself has nice facilities. The pool is great after a hot day sight-seeing. It's a reasonable size for an adult to swim in. Terrace has a wonderful view towards Hatshepsut. The garden area well cared for. My daughter was delighted with the library shelf. I chose to be on the quieter side (West side) of the river. Once you leave the road, the area is quiet, with a rural views to the rear and animal noises. It's a short tuk-tuk ride to the river ferry. We stayed on the east the last night due to an early flight, but I preferred the west. We got good advice from the owner & family.

The plus out weighs any negative. Other than the hotel, there wasn't places that we were confident to eat in the area. I'd like a fridge in the room.

Thebes hotel offered the best service and more. We don't have anything to complain about. From the bedrooms, facilities upto the employees, they offer us a great stay. What I found really nice is, there was sandstorm on our first day until 9pm. And the pool closes at 7pm. But the bartender was really nice and told us we could come back when the storm subsides and can swim. Even the next night, he encouraged us to enjoy the pool and swim. Unfortunately, we were too tired. Also the chef and the bartender in the morning even speaks Dutch 😱😍I really think the employees made 50% of the stay in this hotel really memorable. They gave the word "customer service" a whole new meaning. We would lovero stay here again. Highly recommended!

The location of the hotel is probably the best in Luxor with magnificent views over the Valkey of the Kings. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Organised transport and balloon rides. Lunches and drinks.

Cold showers and bathrooms needed a little upgrade. But work going on in hotel so that is maybe happening. Don’t want to say anything negative as the staff and location more than make up for any small shortfalls.

Thebes Hotel is a charming place hidden somewhere between the Valley of the Kings and the Nile. Our stay was very nice and comfortable. The personel was friendly and helpful. The rooftop view and the swimming pool are a fantastic bonus after a day of sightseeing.

It gets pretty noisy from the nearby school sometimes. Breakfast could be more diverse.

This was my first visit to Luxor and to this hotel. My train was extremely late from Cairo and i arrived 3am. I had no problem what so ever, even i was allowed to get to room and sleep ...and pay/check in the morning at my convenience. This was the start. Breakfast...i was satisfied. It ia not high class continental but it is wonderful if u ask for flafel and other Egyptian items. Pool very good. Rooftop seating very enjoyable. In all respect, overall i was more than satisfied. Please remember these people are human. May be at peak season everyone might not get 100% perfect service. But i would rather live in a place like this than a corporate chain. Thats just me. Loved each day there. Only drawback, its on west bank, however, most major attractions are on west bank. Hotel offered taxi to major west bank attractions. Cost of taxi was excellent and worked for me. Also, for anyone, local transport is available and very cheap, from hotel walking distance to main junction. Most blue ribbon vans go to public ferry - al bahar- 2 Egypt pound for tht travel, public ferry each way to east bank Egypt pound 5. Takes you to east bank and vice versa. Also, from hotel 15 egp toktok to west bank public ferry, if needs be. At east bank, again blue ribbon vans 2egp for Luxor train station or go bus stop or city centre. But must ask -el mahatta- the station- all blue ribbon vans might not go there. Not related to this hotel but to Egypt in general, ppl find selling tactics in Egypt a wee bit aggressive but thts their traditional cultural way, as other cultures have extravagant way of selling as well. Please don't mind it. Say no with clear concise assertive but respectful manner and all will b good. Anyway all sorted. Hence no issue staying at this hotel.

Nothing. Drawback mentioned in other comment with its solution. I read reviews as well before booking. I do not regret my decision to stay here.
