Aracan Eatabe Luxor Hotel

Good clean room, bottle of water left in room each day. Breakfast was plentiful, the restaurant staff (Karim, Mr Tot, Ali etc) always attended to my requirements, bringing food to my table as well as a pot of tea each morning (great service). All the staff we excellent, shout out to the Porters, Guest Relations guys (Aly and Gigi) who made sure I had everything I needed, the lovely reception ladies (Rana & Virginia) who always had a smile and a hello Mr Robert. They all help to make my stay pleasant. The WIFI has been changed and is better than a previous stay. Overall 9.5/10

I was allocated a beautiful room with good facilities, all that you could need. Excellent standard of cleanliness not only in the room but throughout the hotel. Plenty of choice for breakfast. I would like to give a special mention to the staff all of whom are a credit to the hotel being genuinely friendly, kind and caring. A special mention for Aly - guest relations manager, readily available to help, friendly, polite and professional, Ahmed and Aly who work in the restaurant, both friendly, polite and professional and Ehab the hotel lifeguard, again friendly, helpful and polite. The hotel has beautiful gardens that are well cared for and a lovely swimming pool. The location is perfect being away from central Luxor with its noise but close enough to walk to the souk, temples, restaurants and the local ferry. Beautiful view of the Nile !

All staff are lovely. Especially customer service manager Ali(not sure how to spell) was so caring. I didn’t have a chance to tip him but he was so nice to me. Also other staff are wonderful. And I loved the location. 2mins walk from Luxor Museum and I could see the Hatshepsut Temple from my room. Spectacular!! If I can come back to Luxor, definitely Eatabe hotel is my choice.

I stayed here with my 10 year old daughter recently and we had the most magical stay of our whole Egyptian adventure! This was the best hotel out of our 2 diff locations, everything about it was perfect for us! The location is top class, with amazing views of the river Nile. I often sat myself at night when my daughter was asleep and just watched the world go by and it was so fascinating to watch! It’s so close to both Luxor and Karnak temple you can walk to them yourself. We walked back from Luxor temple and it only took us about 10 mins. The museum and mummification museum are both within a 5 min walk also. The best part of the hotel was absolutely the staff! From Ali the manager, GiGi in guest relations, Nouby the lifeguard, the waiting staff were all so attentive and too many to mention! We also booked our trips with the hotel through Hassan and Mansour and they were so helpful it sorting out what we wanted and when. They delivered spectacularly, especially the sunset boat trip on the Nile. The pool is very child friendly with a part sectioned off to make sure they can’t wander to the deep end by mistake. There was always a lifeguard on duty as well. As a single parent, they went above and beyond to help me out with bringing things to my room for me instead of my daughter having to wait, like an ice bucket from the kitchen. It was no problem to call reception for anything to be sent up. The chef and kitchen staff were also very accommodating with our requests and the food was always fresh and tasty.

The hotel is perfect for seeing the sights of Luxor.It is located adjacent to the modernised corniche which now has more shops and restaurants overlooking the Nile. The ferry across to the West Bank is only a five minute walk along the corniche. The Temple of Luxor and the Souk are easily walkable from the hotel, no need for a taxi or carriage. Karnak Temple is also walkable taking approximately 15 to 20 minutes along the corniche. It had been 12 years since we last stayed at the Eatabe and although some refurbishment had taken place the ambience of the hotel remained the same, comfortable, friendly and welcoming. Location, comfort and friendly staff are what made us come back. We were so pleased to meet up with members of staff we had interacted with over the years. Aly, guest relations, greeted us like family and made every effort to ensure our stay was like being at home. Gigi, Salwa. Manar, Mostafa, Islam and Shazly were very attentive to ensure our breakfasts were enjoyable.The buffet breakfast offers a wide choice for guests of different nationalities but don't expect a full English. Our room was as we remembered 12 years ago, comfortable, with a spectacular view of the Nile, busy corniche, and the Valley of The Kings. The hotel's garden and pool area is a relaxing oasis where you can enjoy the sun and take advantage of having lite bites in the poolside restaurant and drinks from the bar. Ehab, Zain and Noby took great care of us and we enjoyed time catching up with them. We had always felt secure staying at the hotel and we were very happy to see the health and safety measures, in place for visitors and guests, were still being maintained to a good standard. In our opinion our 7 day stay was value for money. To some the hotel may seem dated but its location, welcoming staff, comfortable ambience override such concerns.
