Djorff Palace

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….

My check in was So Smooth & had a nice chat with Marina who is the owner

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.

Loved our stay here. Will definitely come back next time we are in Luxor.

A unique hotel in a fabulous position. All the staff are excellent- professional, helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

I had an amazing time at Djorff Palace. The staff were incredible and the room was amazing. I wish I had more time to spend there and really enjoy. I will be coming back for sure!

Is just a one night stay but this what i think Bed wasn’t comfortable, food disappointing, room is clean but a little old fashioned, night mosquitos. I got told outside food is not allowed in the hotel and the hotel is away from everything. Overall i think is a 3 star and you decide where you spend your money.

Everyone and everything was great!

Outdoor breakfast excellent. Waitstaff well trained and attentive. Rooms amazing and spotless. Pool fantastic!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with an excellent check-in experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming, especially the receptionist who handled my check-in. The owner Mariana,was also very kind and helpful. I had a fantastic one-night stay; the hotel’s architecture is beautiful, right by the Nile River.

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.

Gorgeous architecture! The staff was delightful and the owner, a charming lady from Manchester gave us the best advice to facilitate our visit to the Valley of the Kings. The cost was very affordable considering the quality of the rooms and all the amenities. We would stay there again for sure

All the staff were very helpful Hotel was good very different from the norm lovely views of the nile . Food was very good Pool was too cold for me as it was only February The ferry was very useful crossing the Nile The only negative for me was the beds were very hard

Everything was delightful. We were fascinated by the traditional character of the complex and the rooms were large and totally comfortable. The staff took good care of us. This place offered everything we needed. Mellow !! A good value bring your cameras.

The hotel is beautiful and staff are very friendly and helpful. The free boat service is excellent as well. Thanks a lot!

Interesting property, a lot of personal touches. Room was very spacious. Boat service to cross the Nile is convenient.

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. 2.75/10

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.

Fabulously designed and appointed, clean and spacious room with balcony. Friendly, helpful staff ready and willing to help with anything. Our knowledgeable and welcoming hostess was exeptional. Car & driver arrangements were perfect, and the complimentary boat to the East Bank made crossing the Nile both convenient and pleasant. Hope to visit again.

Excellent hotel, relaxing, brilliant staff and beautiful. Great boat service to East side and they can organise all transport to sights. Easy. Only negative (for me) was its a dry hotel (no alcohol served), as a beer at the end of a day sightseeing by the pool would have been nice.
