Stayed here as part of G Adventures Highlights of Egypt tour. Not much positive to say about the place except I've got to give accolades to the housekeeping guy. He was also friendly and even made some towel art creatures every time he serviced the room. A very nice guy. But you can't go past the ridiculous high prices for laundry. It's per item and starts at one US dollar for a pair of underwear. I mean I'm not from the US and we're not in the US so why are we using a currency that isn't Egyptian pounds? I went to Antarctica who have a monopoly for anything you buy as you're on a ship and their laundry prices weren't that ridiculous. If you're on the G Adventures trip do your laundry at the hotel before this, there it was also per item but only a couple of Egyptian pounds per item. So you can wash everything in your bag for the price of one or two pairs of underwear at Susanna. If you've left it too late the hotel in Alexandria is also quite reasonable. Breakfast was so bad I didn't go back after the first day. These guys couldn't care less about the environment, Every bit of stale bread and every other inedible thing is wrapped in multiple layers of plastic. You've got to pay extra (remember you paid for a room that includes breakfast) for a cup of orange juice. There's no water with breakfast either, you can buy bottles and other beverages in the foyer though.
I just love the Staff and other people around the hotel very positive happy 😊 and helpfull I have a problem getting around on my legs and the help was always at hand please came and have much fun on the roof top pool with view to kill for what can I say the manager on hand and around every day asking if every think is OK well what can you say but Thank you St,Joseph hotel
At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. That being said, for the price, the room surpassed my expectations, in cleanliness and organisation. However, the staff was probably the best part, they helped us book various services in Luxor, including hot air balloon ride. They were very friendly and helpful, and I definitely recommend Shady Hotel as a place to stay for cheap if it is your first time in Luxor.
The hotel is perfect in all aspects: location, cleanliness, and space. The owner was very kind and trustworthy. I would highly recommend it to any traveler.
