The hotel is old and somewhat disorganized and not that clean, the food is good and it has s good location. Please do not book any tours with them, they not only overcharge you and tell you everything will be perfect since they want good reviews but the truth is after you pay they never answer your messages, if they come to do the tours they are always late and for the hot air balloons me and my family woke up at 4 because it was supposed to be at 5 and no one from the hotel answer or the guy who I booked with yunis even pick up after 40 minutes to finally tell me it was canceled which was a lie because I found out balloons dud fly that day and he didn’t even book that just to make you buy a package that its not even reliable

Room was extremely dirty, dusty and used. Linens were dirty, someone used the bathroom and was never cleaned. Extremely disappointed!

Great Nike location on the West Bank for trips to all West Bank activities. Friendly staff and great room rate with nice breakfast on the roof top terrace with views of Luxor temple and the Nile

I don’t understand why they don’t bring out your included breakfast all at once instead of doing it like it is a three course meal with the omelet as the last course. Staff need better customer service training instead of looking at “guest” like an ATM by certain staff. After giving out all tips with the head guy, this guy came back to ask for more once the head staff leaves. Said “need more tips for the chef.” No sleep to my last night of stay ( Thursday) as the roof top music is loud and did not stop till 1:30 am. Upon arrival they called another guy to make you sign up to their jack-up price tours but it does gives you the convenience and not to be hustle by the outside taxi operators or tour operators. Need to put a hot kettle in the room at least for access to hot drinks for those who needs it. Just FYI

I really enjoyed my stay and having previous been on the east bank the west was a very nice change and much calmer. The view is fantastic, and the beds and pillows very comfortable. As with everywhere in Egypt there is some noise, but I slept better here than anywhere else I stayed. Great location for visiting sites. Islam helped arranged trips and all the other staff were also very friendly and helpful. Dinner at the restaurant was very tasty and huge portions.

Egypt is \"Awesome\"!!!! Except for the Egyptians..

Egypt & its sights are awesome. Everything in Egypt is awesome except that 99.9% of Egyptian people are trying to scam money out of you. Yes, even your Hotel. Its exhausting & demoralizing, trying to keep a good mood & enjoy your trip while all Egyptians see \"all tourists\" as \"marks\". I have been all over the world to some of the most impoverished countries & never have I felt like I did in Egypt. There are scams all over the world, but in \"Egypt\", \"Everybody\" is trying to scam you. Anybody who has been to Egypt, can attest to this. Some people will say, \"oh, its what you make of it.\" Like I said, I have been all over the world ....etc, & always make the best of it..Long story short, Egyptians see it as a national pastime to scam tourists, they see it as their right, & they love it when you actually finally get upset when, after the 10th time telling them, \" no thank you\", you do. They act offended & cant believe that you got upset. Bottom line is, I have nothing but good things to say about all the rest of the countries I have been to over the last 20 years of traveling, & would love to go back to all of them...except \"Egypt\". I saw what I needed to see, & I will never go back.

DEFINITELY a great place! We got a very warm welcome. It’s directly across from the Nile. The manager had lots of good recommendations that were reasonably priced!

good for that price

Hotel with good location and unusual staff (it was not possible to find staff in hotel, i have never seen somebody on reception, the owner has changed for me some euro with low rate, in spite of i noticed about t, but he did not care. He offered me to left my luggage in the lobby, where as I noticed was nobody and even i asked to leave in safer place he refused me). Concerns to rooms, they should be cleaned more frequently, as they have heavy furniture it attracts a lot of dust. Breakfast was good enough.

Helpful staff and convenient location

I really appreciated the staff of this hotel, who were extremely helpful. In particular, I want to thank Kareem for his help with arranging a tour for me to the antiquities and also for his patience and help on my final night when it looked as if I might have a problem with my flight back from Luxor and I had to make contact with an Egyptair office late at night. The restaurant staff were also friendly - and the food was delicious, with very generous portions. From the restaurant there is a nice view out over the Nile and it is only a short boat ride across the river to reach Karnak temple. I was also grateful for the very pleasant driver whom the hotel found for me, to take me to the Valley of the Kings and other places, and also to go back to the airport. He arrived very punctually and was willing to wait for me patiently if needed. In all, this was a great place to stay in Luxor because of the kindness and friendliness of the staff and their contacts.

Great hotel! Location, clean, view, pool

This was a great hotel, one of the best of our Egypt trip. It overlooks the Nile and is located on Luxor's quieter west bank, just a short walk from the ferry to the east side. The West bank has the tombs and a few small restaurants; the East bank has temples, shops and traffic. El Mesala's owner was extremely helpful as we tried to figure out an affordable return to Cairo and one young man on staff there (named Islam?) stood out in Egypt by steadfastly refusing tips, saying all help provided was \"his job\". Room was clean, sunny and clean. It had a refrigerator and small balcony so was perfect for buying food and bringing it back for a quiet dinner watching the Nile. The included breakfast was very good and served in the rooftop restaurant. They have a lovely small swimming pool, perfect after a hot day of tomb visits.

Abbiamo soggiornato due notti all’Hotel El Mesala e ci siamo trovati davvero molto bene. La posizione è eccellente, comoda per visitare la zona e allo stesso tempo tranquilla.
Il personale è stato estremamente disponibile e gentile, sempre pronto ad aiutarci con il sorriso.
La vista dal ristorante sul rooftop è semplicemente meravigliosa e anche dalla camera si gode di un panorama bellissimo che rende il soggiorno ancora più speciale.
Un’esperienza positiva che consigliamo volentieri!
