Just back from this wonderful hotel and would most certainly return there.
The staff were friendly and polite and the rooms were spacious and shining clean. We ordered room service on our arrival and it was delivered promptly, the food was lovely and the cost was very reasonable.
The breakfast was great, spoilt for choice.
Fully stocked mini bar which included two big bars of cadbury's chocolate. What more could a girl ask for!

The hotel could not be faulted,it was spotless,the hotel staff were second to none.
As for the location of the hotel great, but you must have a Nile view to really appreciate it.
Now as far as entertainment is concerned its really non existent,a bloke in the central courtyard sings the same songs every single night, [very badly]and yes I would visit the hotel again.

The Le Meridien is a lovely hotel overlooking the Nile(if you take a river view room which is a must)...The rooms, staff, pool area etc were all first class and very reasonably priced for drinks and food(although being B&B only ate by the pool on a couple of occasions)...
My only complaint was that on eating in the italian which was situated in the hotels courtyard(like a sauna in the evenings due to no air con)we were overcharged when paying the bill(as they had charged me for 3 starters and main courses,when there were only two of us eating)..
When I pointed this out,the staff were very apologetic(apart from the waiter who had overcharged us originally)...Across the courtyard is the hotels Lebanese which i couldn't fault...Excellent

Just got back from Le Meridian, spent one week there.
Hotel is fantastic 5*. Room we had faced the courtyard (patio). Had a very large room, two double beds, very large bathroom and large balcony.
Staff were great, could not do enough for you.
Would go again!
Had Italian meal on last night of stay. Great value, the sweets are great!

This hotel was fantasic!! Quite a big hotel basically right in the middle of Luxor about 15 mins drive from the temple of Luxor and 30mins from Karnak, close to shops and restaurants.
The hotel is extremely clean and very tidy, beautiful decoration on the walls and floor. Great size rooms very spacious tv, fridge, shower/bath very impressed with the room also you get a small balcony. You can upgrade to a room with a Nile view but you do have to pay although I'm not sure on the price.
Breakfast is out of this world so much to choose from salads, omeletes pancakes, sandwiches, egg on toast, cereal, plenty of hot food and free drinks refills. You can get as much or little as you want, everything is fresh everything I had was great, although we were only bed and breakfast so I can't mention dinner or evening meals.
Staff are extremely friendly will do everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible, many of them speak very good English.
Entertainment was a bit lacking they have singers every night from about 9pm - 10:30pm so you can get a good night sleep, pool table is avaliable in the pub

This hotel was fantastic. It was absolutely spotless, and we would return to our room after it had been cleaned to find everything on the bedside tables arranged by size. All shoes very neatly lined up and the toiletries in the bathroom arranged by size and colour!
The choice of food for breakfast was brilliant you could eat as much or as little as you want. We ate lunch in all the restaurant but our favourite was the poolside restaurant although the pasta at the Italian was pretty good too. The main restaurant in the evening - well the food choice wasn't overly exciting but there was always something we liked and the 'hot plate' section in the middle did a different special of pasta or Chinese every evening.
The hotel is a little way from the centre of town but this really was not a problem.
We had paid the extra for a Nile view and it was worth every penny, great sunsets every night, and a constantly changing view without us moving. Also we had the sun on our balcony for most of the day so if the pool area was crowded we didn't care!
The room was very comfortable and spacious.
Hotel staff were very helpful and very friendly, time permitting they were happy to chat about the resort, the history, their own lives and ours and Egypt and things in general, but they were never intrusive the way some people are if you talk to them, and they then make a beeline for you every time you appear - just friendly people.
We didn't bother with the entertainment which was a singer in the courtyard, fair better to relax in the bar, in the air conditioning, and watch the world go by!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone, when we return to Luxor this is where we will be heading.

Very impressive looking hotel, which makes the most of a fairly narrow plot of land facing on to the Nile. You enter into one build where reception is and then walk through a courtyard with a fountain in the middle where there is an Italian and a Middle Eastern restaurant into the rear building where there are other rooms, pub, shops, buffet restaurant. Through that is the swimming pool. We had a Nile view room which was very spacious with a large balcony, efficient air conditioning and double glazing.
The pool area was always packed during the day and you generally had to get there early to obtain the shade or sun you wanted. The pool attendants were very good, obtaining and putting up umbrellas when you wanted.
We weren't impressed by the food in the hotel. Breakfast was fine, with a good variety, but the food in the Italian and the Middle Eastern restaurant was very bland. (That at the Sonesta St George next door was much better!) The other gripe was that the Novotel hotel next door moored its cruise boat right next to the Meridien's swimming pool with its engines running all the time, so when you were by the pool you were inhaling exhaust fumes.

I would advise anyone asking for Nile View rooms to be aware that some on ground floor level may be noisy at night eg. near bar.
Food in main restaurant for evening meal lacking atmosphere and food variety poor if you are eating there every night and food left in containers too long.
Room service was excellent food arrived quickly and good value compared to other 5 star hotels we have stayed in.
Had to complain about not receiving wake up call. Anyone contemplating taking hot air balloon ride highly recommended booked at hotel reception an amazing experience.

We visited this hotel in June - July 2006 and we thought this hotel was outstanding.
The staff were friendly and helpful they couldn't do enough for you.
The food in the hotel was lovely and there was a great range to suit everyone. We recommend room service if you fancy a quiet night in.
The entertainment in the hotel is very low key but most nights this was good because sightseeing makes you tired.
This hotel is also in a great location for touring but be careful of some of the prices you get charged by the tour operators (shop around)! We will go back to this hotel but at a different time of year as it was very hot.
