This was my second visit to the Djorff Palace and it was every bit as good as the first. The hotel is in a beautiful location right on the Nile close to the valley of the kings.
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with an excellent air conditioning unit. Relaxing pool area with great sun beds set up daily with towels. Great breakfast and freshly cooked meals at lunchtime and dinner time, with daily changing menu. A huge bonus is the hotel’s own river boat that will take you across the Nile for free or down to the old town centre for a small charge and will then bring you back when your ready to return. Would highly recommend….

I will 100% stay here when I come back. The palace is CLEAN, QUIET, and BEAUTIFUL. The entire hotel was architecturally beautiful and clean. I was one of a few guests at the hotel and felt/was treated like royalty. The owner is a wonderful, kind, and helpful woman.

The hotel offers a free boat to cross to the east bank which was a blessing. With the hotel being on the West Bank, there is little noise at night meaning you can hear all the sounds the Nile has to offer.

Absolutely wonderful hotel - one of the best I’ve stayed at around the world.

A hidden Gem for those wanting a more authentic Egyptian stay. We travelled from hurghada for 1 night to do the sunrise balloon trip next day.
Wonderful building ,each room individually decorated with items from owners travels. Plenty of power sockets .mini bar with soft drinks chargable.
Hotel provides breakfast on the pool terrace and theres restaurant serving mixture of european Egyptian food in the evening. There is no alcohol but contact with hotel allowed us to bring our own
The hotel also runs a ferry taxi service for its guests until 1000pm if you wish to go to the tourist centre.
Theres also a pool with wonderful views over the nile.
We were treated with kindness, we had been changed to a better room than booked, as owner though given Ramadan it would be noisy and when she realised it was her birthday ,she brought her a small pottery vase made by local children , a very thoughtful gesture.
Would we go back, yes like a shot , its an amazing hidden gem if looking for something different.

Djorff Palace is a new and unique hotel in Luxor, set on private grounds quite far from the city centre. It’s isolated, hard to find, and getting there can feel like trekking through reeds and local housing. The hotel itself looks good – clearly a lot of money has been invested to make it feel luxurious.

Check-in was a strange experience, taking well over 10 minutes and the owner greeting us but didn’t introduce herself until quite late in the conversation. The room we were shown was just around the corner, but the lights weren’t even working. The room itself was fine, but nothing special.

The main issues lie with the overall atmosphere and service. The hotel has an eerie, almost unsettling feel: you rarely see other guests, and the staff who were local, while attentive, seem overly trained to follow English customs, which can come off as very fake and pretentious.

Food is a major disappointment. Meals were overly oily and unappetizing, and the buffet breakfast is poorly thought out – served near the water, surrounded by insects, and the muesli even had ants in it. The menu changes daily, but the quality doesn’t improve. The hotel’s free boat shuttle to the west bank is a genuine plus, and you’ll want to use it to dine at the Steigenberger across the Nile, which is absolutely unbelievable in comparison.

The hotel is conveniently located near historic sites like the Valley of the Kings, and while private taxis are available, local ride services are much cheaper.

Djorff Palace was a quiet oasis on the West Bank of the Nile away from the chaos of Luxor. The hotel is an Arabian architectural marvel, straight out of an Arabian story. The staff are exceedingly helpful and friendly. The room was clean and serviced daily. The hotel's boat service across the Nile which does incur a small fee takes you to any location on the East bank. The water meadows around the hotel, where the water buffalo graze ,are a haven for numerous species of birds. The lunch and dinner menus change daily, the food is fresh and tasty.

Djorff palace is stunning. It brings in an authentic and local vibe to an upscale accommodation than most templatized western accommodations don’t offer. The staff were very courteous and professional. The scenery was amazing and breakfast was simple but consistently high quality.

Here are some cons that would make me reconsider staying at this property.

- WiFi was not functional. I can’t recollect a single
time WiFi worked in our stay. We got by using patchy mobile hotspots.

- hot water and water pressure early in the morning was a consistent issue. We woke up most days early to get to tours and this was bothersome.

- the carpets could use some dusting. I developed mild rashes (bugs?) that subsided a few days after moving out.

The place was okay. There was an issue when they gave us the room. The bathroom was clogged and they asked us to wait until the plumber come and fix the bathroom. So it was very inconvenient. Also; the time that we stayed they were doing so much constructions so there was a lot of noise and taking pictures around the place made it difficult due to the renovations happening.

Weird place. One star because it is a beautiful property. One star because the bulk of the staff are kind and helpful.

The owner of this hotel treats the staff terribly. Spent an afternoon trying to relax by the pool but couldn't because she spent the entire time (two hours!) screaming and berating the poor staff over the silliest things (blue cheese, a cup of tea). Said such mean things to them in front of me and actually ended up saying mean things to ME when I had an interaction with her.

The room was so dark I had to keep the door open to see anything, even with all the lights on. The bathroom smelled so overwhelmingly of sewage it made me ill. The hotel was unresponsive on my day of check in and I couldn't get a boat across the river for two hours.

You're better off staying somewhere else.

Even though the hotel is a bit away from city center, the free boat provided by the hotel makes easier to get around.

Great location and wonderful experience

I had a wonderful stay at Djorff Palace this summer. It's a beautiful hotel in an incredible location -- right on the Nile River, the views are stunning -- and it was perfectly situated for my trip focused on visiting the temples and tombs of Luxor and surrounding areas.

During my 7-day stay at the hotel I also felt incredibly well taken care of. The staff were attentive and helpful and the service throughout my stay was terrific. Everyone made me feel genuinely welcome literally from the moment I arrived. The restaurant was also excellent. Overall Djorff Palace really was the perfect base for my visit to Luxor.

Whilst this would not be everyone's favourite location ot was exactly what we were looking for a, quite unique different hotel. Each room is different but decorated with excelent taste with a mixture of old and new pieces. For some a lack of TV might be a problem but for us this meant we actually talked and did not miss it. The choice of food on the menu changed every day with a daytime menu available at the pool as well as a different menu for the evenings available in the restaurant. The hotel.also has its own boat to take you across to the East bank if you want to visit.

Hotel Djorff Palace was one of the WORST experiences I've ever had. The website makes it look very nice but underneath the fairy tale Islamic castle appearance there is poison.
Arriving at night by boat, we found a dock in very poor condition, no lights, no railing and the dirt pathway leading up to the hotel was unlit..cell phone lights saved us.

Our bed, described as being a king was really a double and was rock hard (imagine sleeping on a yoga mat on concrete). My daughter and I were up all night in pain....she's much younger but still was miserable.

The lighting, or lack thereof, was disconcerting, especially at night...in the room and outside on the grounds.

Our Egyptian male friend was traveling around with us and showing us his country. He made a reservation at this hotel when I told him we had a room there. Shortly after this, the hotel cancelled his reservation because he was Egyptian and this British woman owner did not want \"that\" influence in her hotel!
After our first night we decided that we couldn't stay there...not only due to the bed but the Racist owner of this establishment.....absolutely unpalatable.
I went to the deck to check out and said we were leaving. We had a 3 night stay but couldn't do it. The owner knew who we were and lied to me and said all the rooms were booked which is why our friend couldn't stay.....with no apology about the bed either....her comment was \"most people really like our hard beds!\" DO NOT STAY HERE!

The best hotel with beautiful Nile River views!

The Djorff is an amazing place, the building is a literal work of art. It over looks the Nile River and has amazing sunrise/sunsets. The crew that works there is fantastic and their attention to detail rivals any 5 star chain. Breakfast, which is included with your stay is amazing. It is served on a patio which is next to the pool. It really is a special place. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels, this place is closer to a resort feel than hotel. 10/10 would recommend it to anyone staying in Luxor.

The architecture is amazing. A reconstruction of old style Egypt from a century back. Lattice work and decoration is great. However, there is ongoing construction at the hotel. Power saws cutting stone. There is a new building being constructed next door. Five stories. Construction begins at 7am. The bath in room Opal is leaking badly. Advised desk. The doors squeak badly. The bed squeaks horribly. The room has no support for carry ons. You are trapped for hotel food. Very mediocre. Service people friendly. Breakfast very good but simple. Very hard to get to from other side. No liquor there or around. No tv. Wi-Fi poor because concrete ceilings. A dramatic look but poor internals. Needs a professional overhaul.

What a gem in Luxor. So quiet and lovely to have the fields with oxen around. Felt very relaxing being on the quieter side of Luxor. Lovely decor and large garden with good size pool. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful. Ample breakfast and hotel restaurant was very good with a menu which changed daily and several options at a reasonable price. There is a boat available which is extremely easy to take across to the East Bank and back whenever you need it. The WiFi did not work very well in my room but worked well in the garden and pool / bar area so was not an issue. Recommend for those seeking a peaceful stay in Luxor.

Dreamy. Of our entire Egypt trip this place was our favorite place we stayed at. The staff handled all of our car needs and transportation via boat across the river. We loved that a gluten free cake appeared on the menu our last night. We wish we brought binoculars as the bird watching here is amazing. Highly recommend coming here with no agenda but to just enjoy.

I loved it!

If I ever come back to Luxor, I’m definitely staying here. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Food was delicious. And staff were so kind. They even brought me breakfast at night since I had an early morning flight to make sure I ate something. And I love how you can take a boat across without additional cost. Five-plus stars!

The best place to stay in all of Luxor

We decided on staying at Djorff because it was such a different hotel than the others. It's location on the west bank made it really convenient for the valley of the kings. But the complimentary boat service to the east bank is really nice. The hotel was incredibly accommodating and organized our tours and drivers. Sadly my mom had a major flair up on her arthritis and was bed ridden for a few days. The hotel staff helped my mom to and from breakfast and the owner of the establishment checked in on me and her daily. She is such a nice lady. I highly recommend this hotel. The food is amazing, the location is amazing, the vibe is so relaxing.

Non-existent or poor Wifi; breakfast taken outside in the cold; ultra-hard, uncomfortable mattress; very old, wafer thin bed linen and stained pillow case. Checked out after just one of three nights booked. Owner conceded the foregoing as true/agreed the issues, but made no offer of refund for the two nights not stayed as full payment taken on arrival. Poor, disappointing experience. Other hotels in Luxor and Aswan were excellent. In short, better value elsewhere.

This place is amazing! The Egyptian motif is breathtaking. The owner was there to greet us & she was great. I loved the Egyptian artifacts all around the place. The room was huge with a modern bathroom. Two towels and face cloths, so I was very happy. The restaurant food was amazing. I enjoyed the helpful staff & would recommend if you are in Luxor stay at this hotel, it’s worth the money!

Our grand stay at the Palace

Our stay at the Djorff palace was simply amazing. The owner/ hostess, Morina, was a treat. She made sure that our stay in Luxor was a delight. The rooms are spacious and luxurious. They have limited rooms but that is by design. They have a beautiful pool and a great breakfast is provided. We also ate dinner as well at the palace. They provided a traditional Egytian menu each night. We wish we could have stayed longer. They provide a boat, for free, to carry you over to the east side of the Nile. Staying on the west side was peaceful as you are surrounded by small villages. If we stayed in Luxor again, there is little doubt that the palace is number one. We will never forget our memorable stay at the palace.

THE place to stay in Luxor.

From check-in to check-out the service was fantastic. A unique hotel in a perfect location led to a really enjoyable vacation. The boat across to the east side of the Nile was great and our driver (Kalid) was nothing short of brilliant to look after us on our trips. The staff were attentive and efficient and breakfast was both delicious and great fun. If you are travelling to Luxor, this is a must-stay location to make the trip both relaxing and enjoyable. 5 stars for sure.

The property is very nice and it feels like an palace. The staffs are super nice as well. Wifi is very good.
one issue is to find the location of the hotel. The last 300-400 meter roads are very narrow and google map is not showing the exact turn, so better call the reception and then get the instructions from them. Otherwise I will definitely recommend the place.

Nice Hotel friendly staff

Wonderful place. It had the vibe we were looking for, the reception and the rooms all had a great atmosphere with a great selection of furniture and art; the place will make you feel like you have stepped into history. The gardens and the pool were lovely, secluded from the hustle of the town but in close proximity by a quick boat ride ( complimentary for guests at the hotel)

The owner was very nice and involved with all clients, making sure everyone was having a great time.

The only feedback I would give is the linen in the bedrooms should be better. It felt old and worn. And the beds were not the comfiest.

My personal palace

This hotel is a gem. We were immediately greeted by the owner of this majestically built modern palace. Overlooking the grand river Nile, and the city of Luxor, we were treated to an amazing venue with great rooms, including a balcony and large vaulted ceilings, you are truly treated like royalty. Includes a great breakfast, if i lived closer i would make this detination a yearly getaway.

The property is unique thanks to the owners (Marina's) keen eye both interior and exterior design. The pool is relaxing and beautifully maintained. The rooms are all unique again showing the owners discerning eye. Being in the west bank of Luxor it is ideal for exploring the Valley if the Kings, Hatshepsuts mortuary temple ect all being within 15 minutes drive of the hotel. A driver can be hired for 4 hours from reception. All in all this is one of the most captivating hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at. Alcohol is not sold on the premises but you can bring your own alcohol and consume on the premises. If you want a change to the conventional mundane modern hotels then i cannot recommend the Djorff Palace enough.

A gem in Luxor

Djorff Palace is gorgeous. The rooms are lovely, the owners are warm and friendly, and the staff courteous. The hotel is a hidden gem surrounded by beautiful, lush fields, the Nile river, and is close to many of the temples. I wish I had stayed in Luxor for many more days, and cannot wait to return.

This is by far the best place I have ever stayed at. From the owners/ staff to the property. The Palace is an Oasis. Built and Decorated by the owners. Who are so extremely lovely and welcoming. If you need anything they are there to help you book it or show you the way. Theres a free ferry that can transport you fron east to west, vice versa across the river. They have a bar restaurant that changes menu daily by one of the owners. The food is again some of the best ive tried in my life. Very unique, fresh, (thing's my husband doesnt normally eat he ate up!)
The view is spectacular. Theres a pool thats cleaned daily, extremely refreshing after the days in the Egypt sun. The staff are so friendly and nice. They always make sure you have everything you need. You can set up shuttles/taxis with them. Even guides. This property is safe, relaxing, beautiful, and all around made my experience in Luxor a 10/10. I am telling you, if you're going to Luxor, I wouldn't miss staying here.

We Didn't want to leave!!

It is truly difficult to adequately express the unique and extraordinary nature of the Djorff Palace. From Mohamed's remarkable imagination, creativity, and knowledge that allowed him to create such a magnificent structure, to Dr. Marina's captivating storytelling about her life experiences and journey to Luxor, the two owners have gone above and beyond to craft an exceptionally welcoming and intimate experience for their guests.

Their extensive network of local contacts ensures that visitors receive the most authentic and enriching experiences that Luxor has to offer, whether it be through excursions or personalized advice.

The exemplary service extends beyond the palace itself, as each and every staff member demonstrates an unwavering commitment to ensuring that guests are constantly delighted and satisfied.

We wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional establishment and eagerly anticipate our next visit.

Our deepest gratitude to Mohamed, Marina, and the entire staff for making our stay truly unforgettable.

The property is unique and beautiful. Our room was clean and the breakfast/dinning was very good. The food was good and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our only setback is this is on the west bank of Luxor. if you want to be at the center of the city then you need to stay on the east bank. The hotel does offer a boat that can cross you over to the east bank but it is a little inconvenient as there is limited transportation (there is no uber here). Also, be aware that the owners reside in the hotel so you will see them around the property during your stay.

A bit of style on the Nile.

Newly built hotel exquisitely designed and traditionally furnished by the owners. Room was spotless and well appointed with a great shower and water pressure. Minibar in the room was refreshed daily and kept drinks nice and cold. Owners were very friendly and took the time to chat and advise/organise sightseeing trips and activities at very reasonable costs. The hotel provided a riverboat to take guests across the Nile and back whenever required free of
charge or would take you down the river to the temple for 100LE (£1.40). Food was excellent and freshly prepared by the chef and the menu changed daily. Finally all the staff appeared happy at work and were always smiling and pleased to say hello. The rooms, food and drinks were all reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again.

The owner, Marina, is a gem! Our flight arrived after the restaurant closed. Marina put 2 salads & 2 desserts in our room in case we were hungry - so thoughtful and much appreciated. The tour guides & drivers she arranged for us were wonderful (a breath of fresh air after having a bad experience in Cairo). The property is on the West bank but the hotel’s water taxi gets you to the town side in 10 min. Overall, beautiful grounds, spectacular views of the Nile and unique rooms.

Because of this hotel I’m now planning another trip to Egypt with not just myself.
I travel all over the world with my job and for pleasure and this hotel is definitely in my top 3.
The rooms are amazing, I think I even took a picture of the walk in shower.
You are right next to the Nile with a hotel boat to take to the East bank if you’re going to see Karnak and the Temples (you can see Karnak in the distance from hotel)
The owner Marina was very welcoming and a great source of knowledge and I hope to stay in touch. The staff are amazing, friendly and welcoming and I enjoyed my daily chats with them.
The breakfast are fantastic and sets you up for the day.
This was so good I stayed 6 days instead of 3
This will add to your Egypt experience- don’t hesitate, you’ve found your hotel

Very dramatic and unique boutique hotel in Luxor. Situated on the western bank of the river it is surrounded by pastoral farms and overlooks the downtown Luxor skyline, a pleasant mix of timeless and contemporary. Our, Ruby, was large with a 28ft ceiling and massive bathroom. The second floor views of the Nile boats floating by were amazing.
Furniture in the room was traditional inlaid dark wood and comfortable.
The staff are all friendly and enthusiastic. Any requests were met with an immediate response. The only suggestions would be water kettles in the room to make one’s own tea, and an enclosed dining area. The pool bar is the only dining option but is open air. I’m sure in the summer it’s fine, but in the winter with a breeze it’s coat weather. Roll down plastic barriers would solve the problem.
The food is abundant, good variety, and very tasty at all meals. There is no alcohol so bring your own beer or wine.
Being on the western bank of Nile takes you away from the ‘action’ of downtown Luxor but the Djorff has it’s own shuttle boat so you can get across quickly.
All in all we had a terrific stay and look forward to visiting again if possible.
