Charming, Traditional and Calm

Had an amazing stay at Jewel Howard Carter Hotel. We had incredible service the entire time we were there - the staff were amazing and accomodating and had amazing recommendations the entire time. Laundry service was available and great price. Swimming pool was beautifully kept, they even had an organic farm with bananas, mangos and herbs. It’s in a quieter area of Luxor, so if you’re wanting to explore East Bank (the busier side of the city) be prepared for slightly higher taxi fares back but it’s definitely worth the peace and quiet. We would happily come back, and recommend it to everyone.

Nice oasis within a real area of Luxor

Lovely common area. Good food. An oasis within a slightly out-of-the-way area; have a tour or self-transport if you are staying here. Room was clean but lacked warmth and charm.

WOW!! No other words This place is a true Jem. It’s nestled on the other side of Luxor in a very quintessential Egyptian village on the banks of River Nile . From excellent restaurant to amazing pool . This place is oasis !! I am a Canadian and travelled with Young family. This hotel beats any 5 star hotel in Cairo and Luxor.

This property is a country-side hideaway to which you have to travel narrow dirt roads. In stead of cars and their tooting, you hear moo’s and other sounds from nearby yard with mules, camels, cows, etc. the owner-family is very nice to you. They grow veggies and fruits which they serve at the restaurant. The restaurant is open deck and it was rather cold in early February.

Nice hotel

We spent only one night in this hotel and had to leave very early so we could not enjoy the hotel as we would have liked to. But the staff was very nice, we received a basket of fruits in our room as a welcome present, the cook even made us a coffee at 6am just before we left. The view of the room is amazing, unfortunately we could not test the jacuzzi in the roof top or the pool. The only down side of the hotel is that it is not easy to find (our driver had to ask people along the way) and far from the city. But if you want a quiet place to stay while in Luxor, this is the perfect place!

Great hotel with farm to table restaurant

This hotel is such a gem! The rooms are all unique, the pool is refreshing, and the food is delicious! I did not realize prior to booking that the hotel has their own small farm, and most (if not all) of the produce comes from their own gardens. Everything we ate was delicious! But most of all, the staff is absolutely wonderful! Everyone was so accommodating, helpful, making sure we were well looked after, well fed, and happy. The property is located on the West Bank, so it’s away from the city, and peaceful and quiet. The hotel can arrange a taxi for you anywhere you need to go. Don’t hesitate to stay here, it’s a fantastic value for your money.
