I had an overall positive experience at the hotel. The first impression was really welcoming, and I felt at home right away. The staff were polite and attentive, always checking in to see if we needed anything. However, while the organization of activities was good, I think there could be more flexibility in options for excursions based on individual budgets.

Karnak Hotel offers a warm and homey atmosphere, with really friendly staff and a fantastic location close to major attractions like Karnak and Luxor Temples. While the hotel has a certain charm, it also feels quite dated, and there are definitely some safety concerns with the rooms. The dining experience left a lot to be desired, but the outdoor area is pleasant for breakfast.

However, the rooms are in dire need of updates and some safety issues really need to be addressed.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the location was fantastic and the staff were genuinely nice, the rooms were not up to standard. I had to switch rooms due to cleanliness issues, and the dining experience left much to be desired. The hotel has a lot of potential, but it's clear it needs considerable improvements to be comfortable and appealing.
