This was a return visit to the Karnak Sofitel. Everyone went out of their way to make our stay welcoming, relaxing and enjoyable. The facilities at the hotel were outstanding and beautifully clean. The hotel manager Mr Hassam went out of his way to meet with us and to ensure that our holiday had been happy. Our taxi driver (Handy... More

We spent one week in Sofitel Karnak, the location is very nice to the Nil , very quiet place (vs noisy city center in Louxor), the only detail is the staff of the hotel that was very not helpful (first day we had a transfert of the room, and they lost my jacket in the transfert, they didn't find it...

My 2nd visit first week in May 2013 was just as brilliant as the stay way back in September 2011. So delightful coming back to the same hotel as I knew when leaving a Nile Cruise week that I would enjoy every day. Not only did I have great sunshine, the restaurant staff recognised me from the last visit and... More

And weeks Nile cruise with a 2nd week staying at this hotel was heaven. Beautiful gardens, comfortable accommodation & exceptional staff (especially Araby at the sundowners bar who made our week 5star). Quiet location over looking the Nile - a perfect spot to relax in or a base to do trips from. Highly recommended. Excellent gardens promote fab wildlife -... More

The Sofitel in Luxor is the most beautiful hotel I've ever been. The coloured flowers and trees, the birds and the Nile give a very special natural atmosphere. The stuff is always very friendly and there is a rich selection of food. Having been there for several times, returning is now like coming home.

This hotel is a few miles North of Luxor and about one and a half miles North of Karnak temple. The hotel and its grounds could seem like an oasis of civilization in the comparative poverty of Karnak if you are not used to everyday life in ordinary Egyptian towns. It is best to take a taxi rather than walking... More
