Amon Hotel

Amon was an oasis, a lovely peaceful spot to recover from long days in Luxor with friendly, helpful staff.

They go out of the way to make you feel comfortable.

I had an unfortunate experience with my reservation at Amon Hotel. Due to a mistake on my part, I accidentally booked my stay for a day earlier than intended. As soon as I realized this, I reported the issue to Hotels.com, and they made multiple attempts to contact the hotel administration to request a refund. Despite their efforts, the hotel refused to process my refund, even though there were very few guests during my actual stay. Hotels.com genuinely tried to assist me, but unfortunately, the hotel was unwilling to accommodate my request. I believe a more customer-friendly approach could have made a difference, especially given the low occupancy. Unfortunately, due to their lack of flexibility and understanding, I cannot leave a positive review. I hope the hotel reconsiders its policies in the future to provide better service to its guests.

Property is clean, staff is very competent and helpful. Clean, tranquil hotel

The hotel is located out of the way on the West Bank of the Nile, and in a place like Luxor, with no Uber, taxi drivers rip you off to get there. The neighborhood is not great, with unfinished brick buildings, but Amon Hotel is presentable, with a small front desk and finished outside. There is no elevator in the hotel. The room is nice, but basic - not even a telephone to the front desk. There are no dining options nearby, and the dinner we ate at the hotel was way overpriced - all the prices were in dollars, and equivalent to 5-star prices for 2-star food. The included breakfast was a bright spot in our stay - we ate in the hotel garden, and breakfast included an omelet, yogurt, breads, cheese, butter, etc. We used an app called InDrive (you bid on your ride) to get around in Luxor.

This is a family owned hotel on the west bank of the Nile. Just FYI - the Valley of Kings and Valley of Queens, as well as some other temples and tombs you'll want to see, are on the west bank. But most people live on the east bank, and you'll want to visit that side to see Karnak and Luxor temples. So first decide which side you want to stay on. Both have advantages, but in short, east side is busier but has many more options for dining. By contrast, west side is easy going, you are just a few kilometers from some remarkable historic sites, but don't expect to get a drink. If you decide for the west bank, then you can't go wrong with this hotel. It has a very lovely garden, staff is kind and helpful, rooms are clean and comfortable, breakfast is good, and there is a small pool (although it was too chilly for us to use).

We loved the service and the garden. Thank you, we had a great time

Our stay at Amon Hotel has been really amazing and quite memorable. From the service we received, the friendliness and welcoming of the staff, and the beautiful rooms and courtyard making our stay one of the most memorable and lovely times since we’ve been in Egypt. We also really enjoyed the food that was prepared (breakfast and dinner), making it very easy and convenient to have a meal without having to leave the hotel. The cost of the hotel for us was very reasonable. The staff were really nice and helpful. We highly recommend this lovely gem of a hotel for anyone staying in Luxor. It’s a ways out from all of the bigger and busier areas making our stay that much more relaxing and pleasant. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Although the Amon Hotel was a wonderful little oasis in the Westside of Luxor, the lack of means to get around made it hard on a daily basis. I think if any hotels in the area had contacts they could call when guests need rides to sites, ferry, shopping etc. this would bring in more clients. The staff were great.

Thank you so much for everything

Great place just an easy Uber ride from everything. Nice cold pool to jump into after a long day of heat. Clean,safe and secure. Highly recommended ‼️

The Amon hotel has an excellent reputation that is thoroughly deserved. It is basic compared to large hotel chains but very clean and the service is warm and friendly. The food at the hotel is delicious and inexpensive plus you can buy beer! The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot. An extra piece of soap would've been nice. Their laundry costs are quite expensive but their is a local laundry nearby that charges only EP10 per piece. Because it is located on the West Bank, you save lots of time getting to the main tourist attractions.

Amon Hotel is a very nice, quiet place to stay on the west side of the Nile in Luxor. It’s less than a 10-minute walk from the ferry and once you are off the main road, there are signs that point you where to go and the hotel is clearly marked. The owner is very nice and his kids are fun - they showed us all around the hotel and were very welcoming. It seems to be a very family-friendly place. The rooms are simple but clean and in good condition. The atmosphere of this hotel is very peaceful. And they were kind enough to arrange a driver for us for everything we wanted to see. We would stay with them again!

Authentic and rustic Located on the quieter West Bank, the hotel (more of a large guest house) is bang in the middle of a village of locals and gives this place a really authentic feel. The locals in the town centre can harass you extensively, but those in the neighbourhood just want to say hello or get on with their day. I haven't always felt safe in Egypt travelling solo, but here I feel completely at home! Every single member of staff is fantastic. Not all of them speak much English, but they'd do anything to make your stay more comfortable. At least three of the staff speak English well: The owner, Mahmoud, usually hangs around the hotel but also lives locally and treats his guests like family. Ahmed will always greet you with a smile and a warm welcome and Talab is a perfect gentleman who will drive you wherever you need to go. The rooms are divided into three blocks, which have been added at different times. Block one has the best rustic feel. My shower wasn't working properly and Mahmoud proposed a number of solutions. Eventually, I moved to a room in the newer block. Most rooms overlook a beautiful green courtyard with exposed and shaded outdoor seating and a pool. There is also a restaurant on site with indoor and outdoor seating. Everything is reasonably priced, tours can be organised in house, and there's a little shop around the corner for things like bottled water staffed by a couple of lovely ladies who speak no English but will not rip you off.

I am Japanese and came to Egypt alone. Amon Hotel is the best hotel. The owner and staff are all kind. Even though I couldn't speak English or Arabic, they kindly talked to me. There is air conditioning, the rooms are clean, and the food is delicious. It was a great memory. I want to go again. Sorry if I caused you trouble. Thank you everyone!

Attentive staff and beautiful courtyard to lounge around.

We loved getting to know Mohammed the owner as he took great care of us while we were there; always giving us local tips, making sure we had everything we needed, and going out of his way to make us feel welcome. All his staff are excellent as well!

Thank you Mr. Amon for having this small oasis on the West Bank. The staff could not be nicer or more accommodating. Will recommend your hotel to my friends. A lovely place to relax in Luxor.

This hotel is a diamond discovered by reading reviews and choosing one with no less than 9/10. Fortunately, Amon was the perfect hotel for us. The staff was friendly and always delivered what we needed. The breakfast and lunch was delicious and memorable. The simple room had everything we needed. Our balcony overt looked into the courtyard and when you’re in the courtyard you feel calm. Should I get back to Luxor, I’d be sure to stay here again.

I expected more based on the reviews. I was traveling solo and picked the cheapest room, but even so, in comparison to similarly priced rooms in Cairo, this room was quite bad. Maybe it was because I checked in late at 11PM, but that makes it even more important to have the room ready for a tired guest. The toilet seat had urine stains, there was no soap, and the shower was broken. All of this was fixed the next day, but these are basic things. And the hot water ran out in under 10 minutes, maybe the heater was old. The water pipes made this wailing sound whenever someone in the building used water I guess. And incredibly, the water was shut off in the middle of the night probably to stop the wailing. I had a bit of food poisoning (yeah, great few days), and I had to use the little water left in the pipes in the middle of the night. I also had to climb 3 flights of stairs to get to my room, in the older building, which is fine as I am fit, but still an effort when sick. On the positive side, the garden dining area was very peaceful, and the staff were friendly. And the breakfast was good. But I really can't recommend staying here based on my overall experience.
