I stayed as an independent traveller in the Sofitel Karnak in January 2013, which gave me a different perspective than when I was a group leader in 2012 (my review as such is also to be found attached to this site). Sadly the number of residents in the hotel was very low this past tourist season (about 40% of 2012's... More

This was our 1st time to Luxor and will definitely be returning. The Hotel was lovely with beautiful gardens and so beautiful chilling whilst watching the River Nile glistening in the hot sunshine. The staff was so friendly and helpful and food was suitable in buffet and lunchtime around the pool was yummy. Our tour rep Gabriel on behalf of... More

After being very disappointed with a cancelled 1 week cruise 3 days before we flew to Luxor we opted to stay at The Sofitel Karnak for 2 weeks all inclusive. We were so glad we did we had an amazing time here so much so we are going back for the Christmas week and taking our mums with us. The... More

This was a return visit to the Karnak Sofitel. Everyone went out of their way to make our stay welcoming, relaxing and enjoyable. The facilities at the hotel were outstanding and beautifully clean. The hotel manager Mr Hassam went out of his way to meet with us and to ensure that our holiday had been happy. Our taxi driver (Handy... More

So delightful coming back to the same hotel as I knew when leaving a Nile Cruise week that I would enjoy every day. Not only did I have great sunshine, the restaurant staff recognised me from the last visit and... More

Just returned from the sofitel Karnak , had a brilliant week. Our first week was aboard the ss Monica then we transferred to this hotel for the second week. We could not fault the hotel, location, service. The staff could not do enough to help, especially the pool guy and pool side bar staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The... More

Sofitel Karnak is set in beautiful gardens over looking the Nile rooms are a good size compared to other hotels in Luxor that we have stayed in however we did not get a good cleaner I had to complain to reception and apart from one day the room was not much better we found out that the day it was...

And weeks Nile cruise with a 2nd week staying at this hotel was heaven. Beautiful gardens, comfortable accommodation & exceptional staff (especially Araby at the sundowners bar who made our week 5star). Quiet location over looking the Nile - a perfect spot to relax in or a base to do trips from. Highly recommended. Excellent gardens promote fab wildlife -... More
