Lotus Luxor Hotel Review| So-So Hotel, but Views Are Amazing

Egypt Travel Blog: 10 DAYS Egypt Explorer - Felucca Cruise & Red Sea

After leaving the Temple of Edfu, we drove through the local markets, along the rail tracks, mountains, and then the Nile to reach our hotel. I saw lots of ruins of half-constructed homes and totally abandoned homes along the way. This area was also close the mountains.

The Lotus Luxor hotel seemed to be very old. The building was a 6-7 storey building with 58 guest rooms. Its lobby was dark and unimpressive. However, the hotel had the advantage of offering a breathtaking view. If you pass the lobby and go through the glass door, there was a big open lounge facing the mountain range over the swimming pools and then the Nile.

The 2 outdoor pools looked like they were sitting right next to the Nile with the views they offered. The open lounge was on the first floor. The ground floor had nice sitting areas in the garden and next to the pools.

My room was a basic double bed room. There was a chair and a small TV on the wall. It was nothing to be excited about. The only feature of my room I liked a lot was the balcony.

The balcony was small. Half of its view was blocked by the wall, but the other half offered a view of the swimming pool area down below, overlooking the Nile and the mountains.

After my shower, I took pictures and videos of the hotel complex. I visited the balcony many times during my stay.

We would leave before evening to see the Karnak Temple and then the Luxor Temple.
