"The room is spacious and the deco in the room makes a statement of quality. All staffs were ever so friendly. The swimming pool is so beautiful and water temperature was maintained perfectly at 28 degrees. The view from the bank of the pool over river Nile was stunning. The breakfast was full of choices of quality food. Restaurants serve tasty foods. The only point which could be better is that the sauna and steam room is not free for guests, these however may have been reflected in the good price. Overall, 5 stars!"
"Room there as beautiful and very clean.
Staff very friendly plus always happy to help.
The hotel has it's own water taxi so it makes it easy.
Good food at the restaurant.
Hotel across from main part of Luxor so it is nice and peaceful.
But on West side so very close to Valley of the Kings"
"The location of this hotel is perfect. Just over 5k from the centre of Luxor but a different world. The gardens are beautiful and it is so peaceful. There is no hassle and you can wander round the grounds without being bothered
The rooms are spacious and very clean
There is enough choice for breakfast and for your evening meal
The staff are very professional and cannot do enough for you. English is widely spoken and understood
We loved this place so much that we have booked another week later in December "
"Everything was great! The view was fantastic. I stayed here because it's close to the Luxor and Karnak temples. It has a beautiful rooftop view, and the restaurant is located here! The breakfast service was also very good!They cleaned the room every day, everyone was very kind. The man who cleaned always left a drawing on the paper and arranged the towels very nicely. 🙇 Thank you, I would definitely come back here. 🙏"
"We had a wonderful stay at Steigenberger Achti Resort—easily the best hotel of our entire trip to Egypt. Our room was very clean and included a thoughtful welcome treat of Turkish/Lebanese-style baklava. The view from the room was stunning, overlooking both the Nile and the hotel’s beautiful garden. On our first evening, we enjoyed an amazing sunset right from our window. The next day we relaxed by the pool, had ice cream at sunset, and watched the sky change colors from the poolside—truly memorable.
The breakfast at the Karnak buffet restaurant was excellent, with a wide variety of breads, spices, honey, hot dishes, and cold items. We also enjoyed the food at both hotel restaurants. The chicken at Karnak was juicy and delicious, and at Sofra we had lentil soup, yogurt salad, and BBQ chicken skewers—all very flavorful.
Most of the staff were polite and courteous, and the receptionist kindly helped us find a nearby pharmacy. The only negative was a waiter at the traditional café by the pool who was quite rude, but this was an exception in an otherwise fantastic stay.
Overall, Steigenberger Achti offered comfort, great food, beautiful views, and warm hospitality—we highly recommend it.

"I can speak to my experience of having breakfast in the main dining room, but not in the hotel restaurant. It had many offerings, some local and universal. The dining room was always clean and tidy. "
