Has anyone stayed in the villa/bungalow part of the Sheraton who could give an up to date report please ?
It isn't a great deal to upgrade to the villas/bungalows and I was wondering if people could explain of any advantages or disadvantages.
The main negatives in reviews of the Sheraton are the noise of the engines of the boats tied up ouside and I was thinking if by going in the villas/bungalows we would avoid this ?
Is the sheraton in a good location to walk to all the restaurants of an evening ?
Many thanks, Doe
I have a friend staying with me just now whose friend stayed at the Sheraton last year. It seems she wasn't impressed with the main hotel where she was staying but apparently the bungalow rooms are supposed to be better.
You can hear some engine noise from the cruise boats docked nearby, what made it so annoying was that some of the boat's weren't even in use and looked like they hadn't cruised for months yet their engines were still running!!!
Saying that because the hotel has no hotels either side of it the views from their Nile View rooms are spectacular and for me the view was more important than the noise made by the cruise boats.
I believe the bungalows have been recently refurbished and are now looking "very" nice. Only drawback is they don't have a balcony or terrace to sit out on. I also don't think you would be bothered by engine noise from any of the cruise boats staying in one of them.
The Sheraton is around a 10 - 15 minute walk from a wide range of restaurants, this map from Luxor Travel Tips should help further http://www.luxortraveltips.com/maps/southluxor.htm (if you click on the blue boxes a review of the restaurant comes up) The hotel also provides a free shuttle bus seven times a day to take you into Luxor.
Here are a few photos I took of the hotel in April (the photo's are of the Nile View rooms, I believe the bungalows are slightly larger)

They are coming up good for me chris . Lovely photos suzie. Maybe one of your programmes on your pc needs updating . Your avatar has gone walk about too . I'm completely pants at all that sort of thing but maybe Java, or the Abode thingy . Maybe we have someone pc savy here that will know what i'm talking about .
Don't think I can really get on to IT and tell them I need them to purchase a bit of softwear and update our systems so that I can view stuff on a holiday site
Goodness knows where avatar has gone Sanji very kindly made it for me yonks ago. It probably ran off somewhere due to neglect.
OMG I have just realised that I couldn't see them because I just hadn't scrolled down enough. i'm so sorry.
