Being a natural Lara Croft Egypt has always been on my list of adventures and what better than to book at the Sofitel Karnak to stay for a week. However, if you just feel like leaving your walking shoes at home then look no further than you’re perfectly placed sunlounger that overlooks the Nile with an Agatha Christie novel by... more

Where to start! The hotel looks nice and modern as you are driven up to it, the airport style metal detector at the entrance is a novel touch as are the armed guards. (The only Egyptians at the Hotel who will not constantly hassle you for "Baksheesh") The rooms although small are reasonably clean, they are "serviced" daily, ours was... more

We stayed at the Sofitel Karnak end May/beginning of June. Its one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. Lovely, clean rooms, polite and very helpful staff and good food. It is slightly out of Luxor, however there is a shuttle bus and boat that go at regular intervals foc to Luxor. We visited Karnak and Luxor temples,... more

It was immense relief to arrive at this hotel after catching the 11 hour local day train from Cairo. At the same time, it was a Las Vegas feeling - so weird after traveling independently in Egypt through poverty stricken dusty towns where women have to jostle for enough bread, to arrive here where people fly straight in from Europe... more

This review is a little late (only because i;ve just found out how to do all this; im new to tripadviser!) but still valid i hope! Sofital Karnak - great hotel. good facilities, fabulously welcoming staff. We made friends with everyone and were even given typical egyptian names they would call us. The road leading to the hotel may have... more

Just come back yesterday from spending 2 weeks at this Excellent hotel. All I can say is, it is one of the best hotels I have stayed at. The rooms are a good size and were cleaned everyday to a very high standard. I would say the hotel has of the biggest and best gardens in Luxor, which are very... more

Have just arrived home from a 2 week stay at the Sofitel Karnak. This hotel is fantastic. Cannot fault anything. The staff are amazingly friendly, particularly the waiting staff in the Opet Restaurant (10/10 guys!!!). The food was plentiful and cooked to perfection, with loads of variety, satisfied even a fussy eater like myself. The hotel is slightly out of... more

We have just returned from a wonderful week at the Sofitel Karnak! The hotel was magnificent, immaculately clean, friendly staff and the architecture was stunning! We couldn't of asked for a more beautiful, friendly, clean and amazing hotel, honestly. With a huge array of activities, a large choice in resteraunts and the most beautiful pools I've ever seen it'll make... more

Staff were excellent. From cleaning staff to management. All genuinely polite and courteous. Could not do enough for you. Only snag is that they should have an on-site pharmacy. Though nothing too serious (ocassional insect bite), popped into local store to the left on exit of the hotel, Elasil Supermarket, run by a very pleasant and helpful guy, Youssef. Totally... more
