Alam B&B Luxor

“Fake photos. One'd be happy to leave.”

The listing photos promised a great terrace view, but the reality was the opposite: the photos were fake, edited, and outdated. The property is old, miserable, and needs basic renovation to feel welcoming. The king‑size bed creaks with a light touch. Both of us slept there and had night itching, possibly from spiders or something else; I was afraid to lift the sheet to check the mattress. The blanket looked and felt like it survived two world wars. The wardrobe was broken, and there was only one bath towel for two people. The floor screeched. There were two bathrooms but only one heater. They charged a $50 extra fee for late check‑in because our flight arrived after midnight; we had to agree because the booking was non‑refundable. The manager unlocked the door and patiently waited for us to accept the disappointment, but he didn’t understand English, pretended to, and just waited for the money. Beware: breakfast is listed as included, but apparently it wasn’t in my booking and they showed us a screenshot on the spot as proof. Otherwise you’d have to pay $10 per person for breakfast (I can only imagine what it could have been). The worst part was the noise: the location sits on the corner of two main roads, so you can’t hear your thoughts amid nonstop honking, shouting, and motorcycles all day and night. The culture still can’t use turn signals properly, so it’s all honking. No window insulation and earplugs barely help. I can’t overstate how annoying and unnerving it was. Don’t recommend.

“A Luxor ci sono molte cose da vedere, sarebbe meglio fermarsi almeno un giorno in piu'”

The central location near Luxor Temple and the Nile, a nice terrace on the Sphinx Avenue, and a convenient restaurant below the hotel where you could eat discreetly at honest prices. The apartment was very noisy; at any hour of the night traffic from the street below could be heard. The mattresses were spring‑coiled, uncomfortable, making it hard to sleep. The stairs were very steep and a bit uneven, not recommended for anyone with poor knees.

The second‑floor location without an elevator made it a bit of a hassle if you had large suitcases, but overall the value for money was good because of the location, friendly staff, and the apartment’s size.

“Samira super smile😁”

The location was great, but the rooms faced the street and were too noisy. The staff, while friendly, seemed a bit intrusive, hanging around the property all day for no clear reason. The shared bathrooms were often broken and hot water was missing. The rooms and beds were uncomfortable and didn’t meet even the minimum standards.

We were a group of four and took up the whole apartment. The spot was very central, the team was kind, and the breakfast was plentiful. The apartment’s vibe in an old building, with a pretty terrace overlooking the Sphinx alley, a church, and a minaret, was lovely, and the view at night was beautiful. Value for money was excellent and there were four shower rooms! It was quite noisy from the street, but that’s normal in a city.
