We spent almost a week here in January 2009. Paid a bit more (but really, it was only about $20USD/night or something ridiculously cheap) to get a Cat2 room on the top level. Absolutely breathtaking! The rooftop terrace is calming with unbeatable views of the Theban hills. The hotel is quiet, cool and the garden restaurant is actually very good!... more

This is an attractive property on he West Bank of the Nile where it is much quieter and more rural. The owners and staff are friendly, helpful and gracious. The restaurant in the garden is well-run, has tasty food and is cheap. Braziers keep you warm on cool winter evenings. We had a superior room which cost 150 Egyptian pounds.... more

I have been in this hotel for the third time around New Years Eve 2008/2009. The hotel is located very close to the ferry from Luxor to West Bank (Gezira). The ferry runs every 15 mins (24x7) and costs just LE 1 (~ US$ 0.20) ... or you take a "private" boat for LE 5. So the hotel is perfectly... more

We stayed at the El Fayrouz for two nights in December 2008. Our taxi driver had a little trouble finding the hotel as it is tucked away in a little side street. The hotel itself looks lovely, with a garden out the back where breakfast and restaurant meals are served. We were given a room right at the front of... more

This is the most amazing little hotel and if you are staying in Luxor and want something a bit more authemtic then try this. Egyptian/German owned in the middle of Gezeria village on the West Bank, 3 minutes from the local ferry and surrounded by everyday life. I stayed there with two female friends in October and we had a... more

The El Fayrouz was the perfect place to begin our trip to Egypt. The rooms were spacious, nicely appointed and very clean. The garden was lovely and a wonderful place to relax in the afternoons. And the breakfast was definitely far above average! (The best we had during our entire trip to Egypt.) The hotel is about a five minute... more

El Fayrouz is a small, cute hotel on the West bank of Luxor, so easy access to all the ancient sites. Less than 5 minutes walk from the ferry stop (which goes over to the east bank) and the ferries runs very regularly. Rooms were beautiful, comfortable and each have their own hot water tank so no worries about other... more

Nice quiet clean rooms, best garden, awesomest food, serve beer (at a good price), owner and staff are super helpful at the hotel and arranging trips (they'll pack you egg sandwiches, mmm). You eat bananas under the tree they grew on, get pudding for breakfast, and be sure to order the combo Egyptian appetizer platter (feeds 4 easily!). Rooftop lounging... more

In December 2007/January 2008 I spent nearly one month in Luxor and most of the time in El Fayrouz hotel. I was delighted by the hotel itself, the garden, the kindness of the staff (all boys), the cooking was excellent. I stayed long in Luxor and I had the opportunity to meet so many people even living there, who enjoy... more
