"Our room was very nice. The overall interior and landscape design of Al Wadi is very charming. Although this property is located in a rural area, it is quite urban in its design, featuring a modern, antique, and chic aesthetic in this boutique hotel. All I can say is that we were pleasantly surprised by Al Wadi. "

"The front desk staff, particularly Ms. Magda, provided an exceptional and highly professional welcome. The accommodations, though standard, included a very comfortable bed and pillows, and presented a stunning view of the Nile. The pool area offered a remarkably relaxing environment, enhanced by impressive landscaping. The breakfast buffet merits a five-star rating."

"Really lovely hotel. My room was spacious and spotlessly clean. I ate in the roof top restaurant which had an amazing view. Food was freshly prepared on-site and was delicious.
The pool was very clean and well maintained. The manager and staff were very friendly professional and hospitable. I would recommend."

"This is an amazing oasis in a quiet area of the West Bank conveniently located near the Valley of Kings and Hapshepsut’s Temple. If you tire of the hustle and bustle and continuous hassle on the streets of Luxor, this is the right place for you. It may be pricey but there is no end to the luxury of this hotel. The pool and spa are wonderful. The gardens are beautiful. The setting is serene. The rooms echo the Ottoman and Omani influences seen in Dar es Salaam. And the food ( particularly the Ottoman Restaurant) is superb. Don’t miss the lamb shank there. It is amazing! The staff are kind and attentive. My travel companion had his birthday there, and without any prompting, the front desk noticed his birthdate on his passport and surprised him with a gourmet birthday cake at breakfast. That type of attention is unusual even at other 5 star hotels. We greatly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful hotel."
"One thing I would strongly suggest to the hotel management is addressing the issue with the horse drawn buggies and the taxi drivers waiting outside the property. Unfortunately, having a gate is not enough when, the moment you step outside, they immediately approach you, pressure you, and aggressively try to force you to use their services instead of apps like inDrive. The hotel should work with the tourist police to remove these individuals from the street leading to the hotel entrance. Tourists should be able to walk freely or order an inDrive without being harassed. At one point, I even witnessed two taxi drivers verbally confronting an inDrive driver for picking up a couple, as if they owned the entire area.
We stayed at the Steigenberger Resort Achti and walked several times to dine at the Steigenberger Nile Palace, which is only about 0.8 miles away. However, because of the intense heat, we often had to use inDrive, which cost around 50 Egyptian pounds each way. At one point, the taxi drivers pressured us so much that we almost got into one of their taxis. When I asked for the price, the driver quoted 500 Egyptian pounds for the same ride.
This is exactly why traditional taxi drivers are losing business and why services like inDrive are becoming more popular. Unless they start being honest and charging fair prices, they will continue to lose customers."
"expect OK receptionist but all staff are rude and racist and don’t want to work. The way my mother was treated, absolutely unacceptable. What I mean by they don’t want to work. I was turned away from two separate restaurants on property claiming you needed a reservation when there was clearly open tables. I walked out and found a manger. She follows up with, “we’re not busy enough right now to need reservations”. Very unfortunate and comfy feel that I ever had to deal with that."
"Hotel was nice but huge event in our last night outside our window kept us awake until after midnight. Hotel said they would credit our last night through Expedia but at this stage we have not seen any refund. We suspect they lied about the refund so we would not make a scene when leaving."
"This hotel is atrocious. The positive reviews on Expedia are fraudulent. The entire hotel (our room included) smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. The towels and bedding are stained brown. The AC barely works and the WiFi is nonexistent. The food was terrible. cold, stale, and bland.
I’m a seasoned, international traveler. This hotel is much worse than an $11 hotel room in Vegas."
"We stayed for 3 nights. The rooms are rather dated but very clean. Excellent shower pressure and hot water! However the bathroom was a bit cramped. Definitely get a river view room if you can because the street view is not much to speak of. Our balcony door would not lock but we were on a higher floor and there is an in room safe so we didn’t feel worried about our things. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is great with many options to choose from. The gardens are extremely well kept and quite beautiful. The Sultana restaurant has a limited menu but the food was fabulous so we ate dinner there twice. There are many local and international restaurants within walking distance if you want something different. The best thing about this place is the location with close proximity to Luxor Temple—only an 8 to 10 minute walk. Karnak is also within walking distance if you want a longer hike (30 to 45 minutes) along the Nile but you will get harrassed by every boat captain and carriage driver along the way since they really need the business . In midday or late afternoon consider a carriage ride— the heat becomes oppressive. Avoid doing laundry here if you can. It’s very expensive at this hotel and we got much better prices at other places. Overall we had a nice stay. "
