I have read some people say that because you get taxi and caleshe drivers hassling for custom outside the door - you should stay in a 5-star hotel. Why go to such a different culture and then lock yourself away from the world? My wife and I stayed there for a week. The room was not large, but had all... more

Given all the previous good reviews there is not a lot to add but it is worth mentioning that the air-conditioning looks to have been up-graded/replaced and is now perfectly quiet. Also the pack of 6 meal vouchers now costs £35.00 but this still a pretty good deal. Dining out is not one of Luxor's strong points and the St.... more

I speak as an ex-travel agent & have stayed in 5 star hotels throughout the world - in my opinion St. Joseph's (for a 3 star) beats them all for the excellence of the staff/service and generally friendly & helpful atmosphere - the rooftop pool is terrific with views over the Nile - the catering is excellent, extremely good value.... more

Having paid £193 for a week B&B from 13th to 20th July 2009, I have to say we got a fantastic deal. Better was to come as we paid £70 (£35 each) for 6 nights meals, of which was very good & included 4 courses. You just could not buy the food in at home for that money, incredible value... more
