Charming, Traditional and Calm

Had an amazing stay at Jewel Howard Carter Hotel. We had incredible service the entire time we were there - the staff were amazing and accomodating and had amazing recommendations the entire time. Laundry service was available and great price. Swimming pool was beautifully kept, they even had an organic farm with bananas, mangos and herbs. It’s in a quieter area of Luxor, so if you’re wanting to explore East Bank (the busier side of the city) be prepared for slightly higher taxi fares back but it’s definitely worth the peace and quiet. We would happily come back, and recommend it to everyone.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. They accommodated us 5 in a family suite in the building next to the main structure (with another privatised little swimming pool) that had even a kitchen. Some waiting time for dinner and breakfast but all was very good. Very confortable to get to the the king and queen valley's a bit less for Luxor city.

Nice oasis within a real area of Luxor

Lovely common area. Good food. An oasis within a slightly out-of-the-way area; have a tour or self-transport if you are staying here. Room was clean but lacked warmth and charm.

WOW!! No other words This place is a true Jem. It’s nestled on the other side of Luxor in a very quintessential Egyptian village on the banks of River Nile . From excellent restaurant to amazing pool . This place is oasis !! I am a Canadian and travelled with Young family. This hotel beats any 5 star hotel in Cairo and Luxor. Azza and staff are professional and wonderful. Thanks you for making our stay a memorable!! Mercy !! Thank you

This property is a country-side hideaway to which you have to travel narrow dirt roads. In stead of cars and their tooting, you hear moo’s and other sounds from nearby yard with mules, camels, cows, etc. the owner-family is very nice to you. They grow veggies and fruits which they serve at the restaurant. The restaurant is open deck and it was rather cold in early February.

The property is gorgeous. Management and staff had me feeling like a VIP. Everyone was attentive and friendly, while maintaining professionalism. If I go back to Luxor, I will definitely stay here again.

Great hotel with farm to table restaurant

This hotel is such a gem! The rooms are all unique, the pool is refreshing, and the food is delicious! I did not realize prior to booking that the hotel has their own small farm, and most (if not all) of the produce comes from their own gardens. Everything we ate was delicious! But most of all, the staff is absolutely wonderful! Everyone was so accommodating, helpful, making sure we were well looked after, well fed, and happy. The property is located on the West Bank, so it’s away from the city, and peaceful and quiet. The hotel can arrange a taxi for you anywhere you need to go. Don’t hesitate to stay here, it’s a fantastic value for your money.
Ashley, 3-night trip

Nice family hotel with wonderful pool and view of the nile and banana-garden. Staff is helpful, friendly and takes care about everything. As I haven’t arrived by car they helped me to get a taxi or transferred me by tuk tuk to the nearby ferry station. I felt home.
Beatrice, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I recently stayed alone for 3 nights. I was very satisfied with the hotel staff's response, room, and food. The location was on the west bank of the Nile River, so it was easy to access places like the Valley of the Kings, and unlike the east bank, it was quiet and comfortable. You will need a taxi to get around, but the hotel staff was very kind, so there was no problem. They took care of everything from taxis in the middle of the night to preparing breakfast in the early morning. This is a very satisfying hotel, so I recommend it.
HIROSHI, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely, quiet and friendly

Really nice, quiet and friendly hotel hidden away on the West Bank. Not an awful lot to do in the vicinity, the West Bank is a rural area of dirt tracks and banana fields so not easy to walk to anything else. However, It is an easy took took ride to the ferry, which takes you to the east side and the city proper. The staff were always helpful, arranging taxis and took tooks and offering advice. The food was all tasty and the pool was a welcome respite at the end of the day. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

10/10 Exceptional

I visited with my spouse for a couple of days. She mentioned this was one of her favorite stays of all time Sitting in the quiet evening eating a leisurely meal at the restaurant while watching different boats go up and down the Nile was memorable. It was also a welcome escape from Cairo and Luxor cities. The staff was nothing but gracious and kind. Service was top-tier and food was good. It's not too bad getting back and forth across the river - we'll worth it to experience the peace of staying here.
