  • Nicholas from rainham reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "Excellent hotel - probably one of the best (if not the best) situated in a very covenient location for all the major sights. Only downside was the hotel food was not the best. Even though there was a lot of choice our group always struggled to find something suitable. The carvery was usually the best but would only satisfy those with stomachs the size of a humming-bird ! "

  • Top Tip:

    "The excursion to the Valley of the Kings were superbly organised. Quite costly but worth it. "

  • Robert from York reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "Sofitel Karnak Hotel was a great place for a visit to Egypt. The facilities are excellent for all ages although I thought personally teenagers would struggle to entertain themselves after dark. Although a bit out of the way, the shuttle bus & boat offer a free ride into Luxor - and the taxi back once this stops is about E£25 (£2.50). Food a decent standard and did not experience an upset stomach the whole 2-weeks. Bars reasonable if not a bit over-priced comapred to bars in Luxor, but not that much different to home. The staff are very welcoming - but if you are blonde and blue eyed expect a lot of attention for them. Nothing too over the top, but if you are female travelling on your own (or with another woman) be prepared to be treated like royalty!"

  • Top Tip:

    "MAny people experienced stomach upsets by chosing to eat outside the hotel, but in a country like Egypt I think food hygiene is pretty pot luck. If anything stick to the hotels as the hygiene standards tend to be better - would recommend the Winter Palace for a coffee just to experience the Colonial feel of a hotel set in a time warp...however dressing for dinner is a bit over the top when on holiday - long trousers and tie!"

  • Sandra from Stalybridge reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "This hotel is supposed to be 5* but the service is not good enough for it to be 5*. It is about 3 miles outside Luxor so you will need to take a taxi into town to eat or to see any of the sights. There is a courtesy bus but the last bus into town is 7pm and they are quite infrequent. The pool if fantastic and is quite clean."

  • Top Tip:

    "The Lantern in Luxor, near to Sonesta and Nile Palace. Debbie cooks brilliant food at reasonable prices. Try to fish, chips and mushy peas."

  • Raymond from Alexandria reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "Sofitel Karanak Hotel is a first class complex to just chill out and relax. Staff are excellent and helpful. Rooms are kept clean and tidy. The free shuttle bus between the Hotel and Luxor is a godsend and not only allows you to explore Luxor historical sites (The driver will drop you off at key sites), it also allows you to be taken to other types of venues (see top tip below). This is my third year in a row staying in the hotel and although I will go to another part of Egypt next year, I do plan to return to the hotel in next 3-4 years"

  • Top Tip:

    "1.5 litre bottled water costs £1.20 in the hotel. If you shop locally in shops you will pay less. Best advice I got from a local - go to Al Ola Market, Luxor - Elkarnak (opposite Hilton Hotel) and you will pay 60 pence for 6 litres of water ! The shuttle bus driver will drop you directly outside the shop - it's clean, staff helpful and prices of crisps, soft drinks and foodstuffs very cheap. It's a twenty minute walk back to the hotel (or wait for the shuttle bus to pick you up on it's return journey back to the hotel!)"

  • James Stewart from Morpeth reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "The hotel was nice, could do with some updating, however the food was rather disapointing with not a very wide choice. It was very quiet, if you want to go to clubs and bars then dont go here but if your aim is to relax then this is for you. "

  • Top Tip:

    "Most of the people in Luxor think people from England are extremely rich and therefore try and take your arm off for whatever their selling. They also all want tips for doing the smallest of things for you so be aware of this, although this is only true outside the hotel "

  • Nicholas from Wareham reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "Hotel was really nice, right on the banks of the nile. Eating dinner watching the sun go down was beautiful. Only downside of the hotel would be that people were allowed to smoke in the restaurant, which wasnt always pleasant whilst trying to enjoy a meal. "

  • Georgina from New Malden reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "I have visited Luxor many times and I prefer to stay away from the busy part of town and relax right next to the River Nile looking towards the West Bank with the farms and sandy mountains behind. The gardens are so relaxing and the sundowner bar and restaurants all have views overlooking the Nile. I live in Egypt on the Red Sea Coast so go to Luxor for a reality check for the country I live in. This is an excellent hotel to make you feel you are really in Egypt."

  • Top Tip:

    "Karnak Temple is my favourite temple in Egypt and only a short distance from the hotel. I have visited many times but enjoy going alone without a guide so I can explore away from all the tourists taking photographs and enjoying the peace and tranquility."

  • Philip from West Malling reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "Booked whole package and it ran smooth as clockwork.Could not find fault with anything except evenings were chillier than expected.Egyptians are very friendly and hospitable and cannot do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay.All in a great winter sunshine break( it was clear skies and 20 + degrees every day).The icing on the cake is the areas 4000 year history which was just breathtaking so whether you want to crash round the pool or do all the tombs and temples you will have a great time.!"

  • Top Tip:

    "Visit the Souk/Market on Caleche(horse drawn carriage)-it is an experience.The cotton,Pashminas,herbs and spices are fantastic value."

  • James from London reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "This was a last minute booking and so it was potluck but I can happily report that everything was excellent. I was met off the flight at Luxor and taken very quickly through immigration to a car that whisked me to the hotel. The staff at the hotel were very welcoming and efficient. My room was lovely and quiet and cleaned every day. The main dining room was fine for a buffet breakfast but the O'Nile restaurant was superb for dinner. Salleh and his team kept one entertained and although the food wasn't all Egyptian, there was sufficient choice to keep it interesting. Snack lunches were also available at two other restaurants, both outdoor. You can lounge by the pool or by the Nile. This hotel is good enough for the Egyptian President who was staying the week I left. The courtesy shuttle bus into Luxor was very useful although taxis are very cheap. I had never heard of travel Republic before nor booked a complete holiday over the internet. Full marks to them, I would do it again tomorrow if I could."

  • Top Tip:

    "There are enough wonderful sights to see in Luxor that a week isn't enough, but the obvious ones of Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings are must sees. The hotel shuttle bus will drop you off on the way past the temples or the Museum if you ask the driver. Visit Sofra Restaurant for a truly wonderful Egyptian experience (sit on the roof terrace if possible) or Oasis Cafe for a welcome break from the "no hassle" shopkeepers! And speak to the locals, they are lovely people. Yes they are out to sell you things but engage them in conversation and you can have a great time."

  • "Our transfer from the airport did not happen as the courier TRAVCO, were not told of our arrival until the Friday 2 day after. They said it was a prob at your end??"

  • Top Tip:

    "The free boat taxi from the Sofitel is well worth using for the view. also, if you happen to be birdwatcher, it is very good for viewing a couple of sandbanks that has one of the must see birds of the area on it."

  • PETER from CORBY reviewed the Sofitel Karnak Hotel

  • "Hotel was lovely and clean staff were very good and helpful. food was good though buffet could get a bit samey after a couple of weeks, and not much choice if you were a vegetarian. Bedding was cleaned every day and towels twice a day. Rooms were on the small side compared to other hotels in the same category, but as I said earlier lovely and clean which was the most important thing to us."
