Emilio Hotel Luxor

If you’re here as part of an Egyptian tour (eg. Intrepid), ask your guide to speak to Reception to move you to a non-smoking room, if they do indeed exist. According to trip advisor they do but I’m doubtful. I asked to move room due to the stench of smoke in the room. I’m more sensitive to second-hand smoke than most, so I took my inhaler down to help with my case. I was told i can go to the room balcony. Blasted the air con and left the door open which helped with the smell. But the pillow still stank so had to cover it with my own clothes. Had a few hours to wait until our tour left the hotel. Tried the lobby for the air conditioning but got stuck breathing in other guests second-hand smoke. Tried the pool area but the only smoke free area was in 40+ degree heat. The breakfast packs provided by the hotel were three different types of stale bread wrapped in polystyrene and plastic and an old apple. Food and drinks we ordered were good, and some of the restaurant staff were nice. They were the only redeeming factor. If you’re a smoker, this place is probably fine.

We came to this hotel as part of a tour. My main complaint about this hotel is that they allow smoking everywhere, or they don't police it so you cant enjoy being there if you are a non smoker, my partner who has allergies could not escape it. The staff will barely serve you at any location throughout the hotel either - you must go up and ask. Not a problem but most hotels have better service than this. Mostly the building is run down, the pool is nice but the people trying to sell massages will harass you constantly even when you say no thank you. Our room stunk so badly of smoke and they would not move our room. We also discovered late at night that the balcony door did not shut, letting in hot air and noise. Our actual room was clean but you could barely navigate past all of the furniture. Overall this place is awful and I could not recommend it.

Location is very good, easy to get to all amenities Hotel badly in need of refurbishment and some painting was being done leaving an overwhelming odour throughout. Rooms were clean enough and staff were friendly, alarmed that most fire doors were propped open Breakfast was very average with many of the components being left in their dishes overnight The rooftop pool looked very inviting and there was a great view from there

This hotel was simple and dated but nevertheless totally adequate for a budget tour; very central and easy to find. I was perhaps lucky with a single-use room, but it was absolutely fine with loo paper and hot water in the bathroom, and great balcony -- yes you could see your neighbours, and so what? -- overlooking the temples and the Nile. Breakfast inauspicious but adequate, fresh omelette and plenty of tea/coffee. No problems with reception -- key worked intermittently but always someone around to assist if needed. Should mention we had a great tour guide to help out if any problems, but really no problems.

Hotel placé en centre ville, pour ceux qui aime tant mieux. Par contre si vous aimez le charme des petits oiseaux, passez votre chemin, car hyper brillant, avec des fenêtres qui ferment mal ou pas du tout. Ambiance dans les couloirs et chambres glauque et lugubre. Tout est vieux et moche. Il vaut mettre un peu plus cher et se payer un autre hôtel. A virer des guides touristiques.

Het hotel is prima en het restaurant ook. De afwerking van het gebouw is zoals bijna elk hotel in Egypte niet compleet volgens de westerse maatstaven, maar het is prima en schoon. De ligging is vooral geweldig! Je kijkt uit op Sfinx Avenue en het hotel ligt tussen de Tempels van Luxor en Karnak in. Naar Luxor is te lopen, naar Karnak zou ik vervoer aanraden. Wij hebben de heenweg wel gelopen, maar werden niet heel fijn benaderd op straat. Taxi is ook niet duur. Voor drinken en een snack kun je het beste in de straat van het hotel terecht. Het is een klein winkeltje, maar de man is erg vriendelijk en het zijn de Egyptische prijzen en je betaald dus niet de toeristenprijs.

Situado a 4 minutos del templo de Luxor y a unos diez del are aeropuerto. El exterior es fantástico pero el interior es viejo, las habitaciones están muy descuidadas. La comida nos pareció correcta. Lo peor: el insoportable ruido de la calle que nos impidió dormir. Era una incesante sinfonia de bocinazos y gritos.
