The architecture is amazing. A reconstruction of old style Egypt from a century back. Lattice work and decoration is great. However, there is ongoing construction at the hotel. Power saws cutting stone. There is a new building being constructed next door. Five stories. Construction begins at 7am. The bath in room Opal is leaking badly. Advised desk. The doors squeak badly. The bed squeaks horribly. The room has no support for carry ons. You are trapped for hotel food. Very mediocre. Service people friendly. Breakfast very good but simple. Very hard to get to from other side. No liquor there or around. No tv. Wi-Fi poor because concrete ceilings. A dramatic look but poor internals. Needs a professional overhaul. Do not recommend,

A gem in Luxor

What a gem in Luxor. So quiet and lovely to have the fields with oxen around. Felt very relaxing being on the quieter side of Luxor. Lovely decor and large garden with good size pool. Owner and staff very friendly and helpful. Ample breakfast and hotel restaurant was very good with a menu which changed daily and several options at a reasonable price. There is a boat available which is extremely easy to take across to the East Bank and back whenever you need it. The WiFi did not work very well in my room but worked well in the garden and pool / bar area so was not an issue. Recommend for those seeking a peaceful stay in Luxor.

Truly amazing, if you’re in the area stay here.

Dreamy. Of our entire Egypt trip this place was our favorite place we stayed at. The staff handled all of our car needs and transportation via boat across the river. We loved that a gluten free cake appeared on the menu our last night. We wish we brought binoculars as the bird watching here is amazing. Highly recommend coming here with no agenda but to just enjoy.

I loved it!

If I ever come back to Luxor, I’m definitely staying here. The place is absolutely gorgeous. Food was delicious. And staff were so kind. They even brought me breakfast at night since I had an early morning flight to make sure I ate something. And I love how you can take a boat across without additional cost. Five-plus stars!

The best place to stay in all of Luxor

We decided on staying at Djorff because it was such a different hotel than the others. It's location on the west bank made it really convenient for the valley of the kings. But the complimentary boat service to the east bank is really nice. The hotel was incredibly accommodating and organized our tours and drivers. Sadly my mom had a major flair up on her arthritis and was bed ridden for a few days. The hotel staff helped my mom to and from breakfast and the owner of the establishment checked in on me and her daily. She is such a nice lady. I highly recommend this hotel. The food is amazing, the location is amazing, the vibe is so relaxing.

Trip with freind

The hotel is amazing,so authentic STUNNING. Cant fault this hotel at all and i am a very strong critic but 5 star❤️ Staff are very friendly and owners treat you just like you were at home, cant help you enough. 100% recommend this hotel❤️

Non-existent or poor Wifi; breakfast taken outside in the cold; ultra-hard, uncomfortable mattress; very old, wafer thin bed linen and stained pillow case. Checked out after just one of three nights booked. Owner conceded the foregoing as true/agreed the issues, but made no offer of refund for the two nights not stayed as full payment taken on arrival. Poor, disappointing experience. Other hotels in Luxor and Aswan were excellent. In short, better value elsewhere.

Pros - Beautiful property located on the West Bank. Really unique hotel. - Free boat that takes you across to the East bank - spacious rooms and bathroom - Amazing view of the Nile - Really good quality towels - Great water pressure in shower Cons - Bed was very uncomfortable, small and squeaky. Felt as old as the place looks (Diamond Room) - Rooms are not well lit. - Wifi was non existent, couldn’t get any bars in the room.

This place is amazing! The Egyptian motif is breathtaking. The owner was there to greet us & she was great. I loved the Egyptian artifacts all around the place. The room was huge with a modern bathroom. Two towels and face cloths, so I was very happy. The restaurant food was amazing. I enjoyed the helpful staff & would recommend if you are in Luxor stay at this hotel, it’s worth the money!

Our grand stay at the Palace

Our stay at the Djorff palace was simply amazing. The owner/ hostess, Morina, was a treat. She made sure that our stay in Luxor was a delight. The rooms are spacious and luxurious. They have limited rooms but that is by design. They have a beautiful pool and a great breakfast is provided. We also ate dinner as well at the palace. They provided a traditional Egytian menu each night. We wish we could have stayed longer. They provide a boat, for free, to carry you over to the east side of the Nile. Staying on the west side was peaceful as you are surrounded by small villages. If we stayed in Luxor again, there is little doubt that the palace is number one. We will never forget our memorable stay at the palace.

Staying here is an experience. It is stunning and the owners are great- always present to make sure their guests are well taken care of. We absolutely loved this place!

THIS PLACE WAS LIKE LIVING IN AN ACTUAL PALACE YOU WOULD SEE IN THE MOVIES. IT IS AMAZING PLACE QUIET. I FELT GREAT ENERGY ALL POSITIVE. I LOVED HOW I WAS ABLE TO MEDITATE HERE. ID DEFINITELY RETURN & COME BACK.

THE place to stay in Luxor.

From check-in to check-out the service was fantastic. A unique hotel in a perfect location led to a really enjoyable vacation. The boat across to the east side of the Nile was great and our driver (Kalid) was nothing short of brilliant to look after us on our trips. The staff were attentive and efficient and breakfast was both delicious and great fun. If you are travelling to Luxor, this is a must-stay location to make the trip both relaxing and enjoyable. 5 stars for sure.

The property is very nice and it feels like an palace. The staffs are super nice as well. Wifi is very good. one issue is to find the location of the hotel. The last 300-400 meter roads are very narrow and google map is not showing the exact turn, so better call the reception and then get the instructions from them. Otherwise I will definitely recommend the place.

Nice Hotel friendly staff

Wonderful place. It had the vibe we were looking for, the reception and the rooms all had a great atmosphere with a great selection of furniture and art; the place will make you feel like you have stepped into history. The gardens and the pool were lovely, secluded from the hustle of the town but in close proximity by a quick boat ride ( complimentary for guests at the hotel) The owner was very nice and involved with all clients, making sure everyone was having a great time. The only feedback I would give is the linen in the bedrooms should be better. It felt old and worn. And the beds were not the comfiest.

My personal palace

This hotel is a gem. We were immediately greeted by the owner of this majestically built modern palace. Overlooking the grand river Nile, and the city of Luxor, we were treated to an amazing venue with great rooms, including a balcony and large vaulted ceilings, you are truly treated like royalty. Includes a great breakfast, if i lived closer i would make this detination a yearly getaway.

Beautiful architecture, great staff, lovely grounds. The bed was quite hard though and not as comfortable as it could be, also lighting was a little dim. It was however a gorgeous place if a little pricey.

The property is unique thanks to the owners (Marina's) keen eye both interior and exterior design. The pool is relaxing and beautifully maintained. The rooms are all unique again showing the owners discerning eye. Being in the west bank of Luxor it is ideal for exploring the Valley if the Kings, Hatshepsuts mortuary temple ect all being within 15 minutes drive of the hotel. A driver can be hired for 4 hours from reception. All in all this is one of the most captivating hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at. Alcohol is not sold on the premises but you can bring your own alcohol and consume on the premises. If you want a change to the conventional mundane modern hotels then i cannot recommend the Djorff Palace enough.

Brilliant stay in a fabulous hotel. Staff were great, facilities were great, food was great.... what more can i say? If you're looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of Luxor, this is the place to go. Absolutely loved it.

Amazing, beautiful unique property! Everything was perfect except I didn't stay long enough!

The quiet Nile setting was sublime. Tthe buildings and gardens were otherworldly with their artful elegance. The food and service were excellent.

It's an oasis on the West Bank with less than 20 rooms/suite - the service and dedication is superb, the food the nest we ate in Luxor - even the best rated restaurants can't match it. It lies very secluded but you easily reach the East bank by the always available free beart shuttle. We can highly recommend it for guests all age and will definitely come back A rare jewel!!!

A gem in Luxor

Djorff Palace is gorgeous. The rooms are lovely, the owners are warm and friendly, and the staff courteous. The hotel is a hidden gem surrounded by beautiful, lush fields, the Nile river, and is close to many of the temples. I wish I had stayed in Luxor for many more days, and cannot wait to return.

This is by far the best place I have ever stayed at. From the owners/ staff to the property. The Palace is an Oasis. Built and Decorated by the owners. Who are so extremely lovely and welcoming. If you need anything they are there to help you book it or show you the way. Theres a free ferry that can transport you fron east to west, vice versa across the river. They have a bar restaurant that changes menu daily by one of the owners. The food is again some of the best ive tried in my life. Very unique, fresh, (thing's my husband doesnt normally eat he ate up!) The view is spectacular. Theres a pool thats cleaned daily, extremely refreshing after the days in the Egypt sun. The staff are so friendly and nice. They always make sure you have everything you need. You can set up shuttles/taxis with them. Even guides. This property is safe, relaxing, beautiful, and all around made my experience in Luxor a 10/10. I am telling you, if you're going to Luxor, I wouldn't miss staying here.

Beautiful property right on the Nile. Tranquil, stylish, and overall a great base for exploring the West Bank. Great pool, a good restaurant, and passionate owners.

We Didn't want to leave!!

It is truly difficult to adequately express the unique and extraordinary nature of the Djorff Palace. From Mohamed's remarkable imagination, creativity, and knowledge that allowed him to create such a magnificent structure, to Dr. Marina's captivating storytelling about her life experiences and journey to Luxor, the two owners have gone above and beyond to craft an exceptionally welcoming and intimate experience for their guests. Their extensive network of local contacts ensures that visitors receive the most authentic and enriching experiences that Luxor has to offer, whether it be through excursions or personalized advice. The exemplary service extends beyond the palace itself, as each and every staff member demonstrates an unwavering commitment to ensuring that guests are constantly delighted and satisfied. We wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional establishment and eagerly anticipate our next visit. Our deepest gratitude to Mohamed, Marina, and the entire staff for making our stay truly unforgettable.

The property is unique and beautiful. Our room was clean and the breakfast/dinning was very good. The food was good and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our only setback is this is on the west bank of Luxor. if you want to be at the center of the city then you need to stay on the east bank. The hotel does offer a boat that can cross you over to the east bank but it is a little inconvenient as there is limited transportation (there is no uber here). Also, be aware that the owners reside in the hotel so you will see them around the property during your stay.

A bit of style on the Nile.

Newly built hotel exquisitely designed and traditionally furnished by the owners. Room was spotless and well appointed with a great shower and water pressure. Minibar in the room was refreshed daily and kept drinks nice and cold. Owners were very friendly and took the time to chat and advise/organise sightseeing trips and activities at very reasonable costs. The hotel provided a riverboat to take guests across the Nile and back whenever required free of charge or would take you down the river to the temple for 100LE (£1.40). Food was excellent and freshly prepared by the chef and the menu changed daily. Finally all the staff appeared happy at work and were always smiling and pleased to say hello. The rooms, food and drinks were all reasonably priced. Would definitely stay again.

The building is a work of art and the own was lovely.

Had free boat available all day for transportation across Nile to east bank. Boat was enjoyable for sunset cruise alone cost 300 lbs for an hour

A personal touch in all services. The owner Marina has a VIP treatment not only for the customer but for each and every employee. It was such a pleasure to stay and interact with all of these special people at the hotel. The hotel is the gem of the Nile and Luxor in general. Hope to be back real soon to Luxor and will look no further than this property for my stay!! Kudos to Marina and her vision for this property!

This is a beautiful property. The management and staff are super friendly and helpful in arranging tours and car service. I wish we had stayed longer!

Beautiful grounds and very friendly staff. Would love to bé back!

5 Star stay

Beautiful hotel, excellent breakfast. Easy free boat ride across the Nile with easy access to Luxor Temple and Luxor museum.

The owner, Marina, is a gem! Our flight arrived after the restaurant closed. Marina put 2 salads & 2 desserts in our room in case we were hungry - so thoughtful and much appreciated. The tour guides & drivers she arranged for us were wonderful (a breath of fresh air after having a bad experience in Cairo). The property is on the West bank but the hotel’s water taxi gets you to the town side in 10 min. Overall, beautiful grounds, spectacular views of the Nile and unique rooms.

The owner greeted us upon entering and made us quite comfortable. Loved that the dinner menu changed daily. The staff was very accommodating. The owner gave us a private tour of the new extension of the hotel. Definitely will be back after the new wing is completed.

A true gem! Lovely grounds, pool, boat to the other bank on request, and the room was outstanding!

Djorff Palace is a diamond of a place on the West Bank of Luxor: peaceful ambience; tasteful, eclectic decor and architectural design; excellent dining and amenities; and an attentive yet relaxed staff (a relief in Luxor). We wished we had booked more nights with them.

The view over the Nile was gorgeous, but I was concerned about the Animals and their care. I know they are not all yours, but please ensure they are cared for the best possible.

Paradise

Because of this hotel I’m now planning another trip to Egypt with not just myself. I travel all over the world with my job and for pleasure and this hotel is definitely in my top 3. The rooms are amazing, I think I even took a picture of the walk in shower. You are right next to the Nile with a hotel boat to take to the East bank if you’re going to see Karnak and the Temples (you can see Karnak in the distance from hotel) The owner Marina was very welcoming and a great source of knowledge and I hope to stay in touch. The staff are amazing, friendly and welcoming and I enjoyed my daily chats with them. The breakfast are fantastic and sets you up for the day. This was so good I stayed 6 days instead of 3 This will add to your Egypt experience- don’t hesitate, you’ve found your hotel

Beautiful hotel located on West Bank of Nile. Spacious room, polite people with excellent service. Car driver arranged by Marina for visiting local attractions are super. We enjoyed the place so much. Thanks everyone!

Amazing place

The building is beautiful. The food was very good It was convenient to get to the orher bank of the river by boat and to return. Unfortunately there was no hot water in our room during our stay.

comfortable and peaceful place

Excellent boutique hotel. Very traditional architectural style. Friendly staff. Want to go back.

Very dramatic and unique boutique hotel in Luxor. Situated on the western bank of the river it is surrounded by pastoral farms and overlooks the downtown Luxor skyline, a pleasant mix of timeless and contemporary. Our, Ruby, was large with a 28ft ceiling and massive bathroom. The second floor views of the Nile boats floating by were amazing. Furniture in the room was traditional inlaid dark wood and comfortable. The staff are all friendly and enthusiastic. Any requests were met with an immediate response. The only suggestions would be water kettles in the room to make one’s own tea, and an enclosed dining area. The pool bar is the only dining option but is open air. I’m sure in the summer it’s fine, but in the winter with a breeze it’s coat weather. Roll down plastic barriers would solve the problem. The food is abundant, good variety, and very tasty at all meals. There is no alcohol so bring your own beer or wine. Being on the western bank of Nile takes you away from the ‘action’ of downtown Luxor but the Djorff has it’s own shuttle boat so you can get across quickly. All in all we had a terrific stay and look forward to visiting again if possible.

Very nice but a bar would be much better

There is no bar. Nice traditional style hotel, great hosts with original touch. It's on the quiet side of the river

This property is beautiful itself, you get the Egyptian style housing experience. In room amenities be like 2-3 star hotel. You choose this one pretty much for this beautiful architecture building. It has pool and it’s own restaurant bar. Also boat crossing Nile river west and east bank is included.

An absolute dream of a hotel

This is a very special hotel. The location is absolutely wonderful. The hotel is stunning. The service is impeccable. The food is delicious.

The decoration of the hotel is super unique and lovely! A different stay. Service is great overall and the owners wonderful people that would solve any issue you might have. My only comment is about the alcohol permission, since the hotel is on the west side they can't sell alcohol in the property as in the other hotels in the east. Besides that, Id highly recommend to stay here.

Awesome hotel in Luxor. Very unique. Staff were outstanding and very helpful.

The stuff where friendly and helpful. The room and the facilities were clean. I love the building and the views from the cafe and the swimming pool. The location was the best part for me. We had food a couple of times and there was good choice and the food was delicious. The only thing that I would have liked to make it perfect would be more choir at breakfast or a more traditional Egyptian breakfast.

We stayed at the Djorff Palace for 2 nights. The staff were excellent. Very friendly and accommodating. Marina (owner) reached out to us via email before we arrived to see if we would like to arrange guides and drivers during our stay in Luxor. She gave us some great suggestions. Once we arrived at the Djorff she was there to greet us. It was lovely. The room was very clean and interesting. The Geckos did come to say hello but they did not stay long :) The hotel offers breakfast and lunch. The food was good, fresh and well presented. The lunch menu is available until 9:00 p.m. Alcohol is not available at the hotel but you can purchase it from some of the restaurants in Luxor. The water taxi is a quick and easy way to get back and forth from the East Bank. It is free from the hotel. It was very peaceful and serene which made a lovely change from the hustle and bustle of the East Bank and the temples. There is a pool on site as well. I would suggest that you bring your own blow dryer and iron if these items are important to you. I would highly recommend this hotel.

This is a great hotel to stay at while visiting the west bank. The rooms are comfortable and well decorated. The management and staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant served delicious food. The desserts were wonderful. After a day of sight-seeing, this was a quiet and restful place to return to.

Surprised my partner with this palace and he was in awe. This is a true palace with amazing architecture to admire. The property owner was kind and fun to chat with. The workers are so attentive and you can’t ask for better service. The views of the Nile are stunning and when you face the palace in the evening you’re in awe. The palace brightens up and makes you feel in safe solitude. Have been raving about how beautiful our room and this palace was. Thank you Luxor!

unique hotel with excellent mgmt antique rooms i love it

Possibly one of the best hotels in Luxor due to the beautiful location and even more beautiful staff. The boat that takes us to the other side is very convenient. The hotel manager was very understanding about my mosquito allergy and tried her best to help me. She even arranged for us to leave our luggage for a tour which was very kind. it's great that breakfast starts so early. I would like to stay here again but the insects might not want me to. The room we stayed in had no wifi connection. The geckos in the ceilings are adorable but very loud. they added joy and a bit of drama to our stay tbh. I like them but if you're scared of geckos I would not recommend the room. This hotel is the most organised hotel I stayed at in Egypt. Check-in and check-out were quick and simple no problems. Great first and last impression of Luxor.

Super design Hotel in Luxor on the Bike

Beautiful hotel in very quiet location overlooking the nile. Super design and very unique. Stayed only one night but would have stayed longer. Convenient free hotel boat to Luxor harbor.

Stunning hotel, stunning surroundings great staff.

The hotel is off the beaten track. No track or cars around. You're in the middle of nature. The building itself is stunning and the surroundings match the elegance. The views are relaxing and comforting. The staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. The location is good with easy access to many of the sites and attractions of Luxor and reception will plan and organise any excursions you want to partake in. Overall I loved and plan to go back soon.

Enchanting, peaceful hotel, with amazing service.

I accidentally left a small bag with important things in the hotel, when I called them 3 hours after I left the hotel, they were very honest and said, they had thrown it away as garbage ..... Also, there are so many mosquitoes that they can take you fly~```

A truly unique experience. Beautiful grounds and phenomenal staff. The food was great and the location was quite good. They have a water taxi that will take you to the East bank as needed.

Relaxing & traditional hotel with a pool

Lovely hotel built in traditional style on the Nile ( West Bank) with a pool. We really enjoyed our stay here. The English lady who runs the hotel is very funny and she manages the hotel well. It’s a new hotel but it was built in a traditional style with the help of local craftsmen. The pool is fantastic! It’s located on the West Bank of the Nile so much calmer than the other side. The hotel manager gave us useful tips to discover the numerous sites in Luxor and she suggested a very good driver.

Amazing!

Beautiful and peace property. After a long day of walking around temples and noise. This place was a piece of heaven! A gem! I was greeted by the owners on my arrival, offered some delicious hibiscus tea! The room was beautiful, spacious and very clean and the atmosphere was so peaceful. I will definitely be going back there.

There were a lot of things we liked about the Djorff Palace and a few things we didn't. They offer a shuttle from Luxor International for $21 and the driver was waiting. It's about 30 minutes to the hotel because it's on the East bank and in a very rural setting. Don't freak out over the area. Check in went pretty smooth and they got our room ready before check in time. We booked a Saffire room overlooking the Nile but the description doesn't mention it's an obstructed view. The hotel, especially the lobby, and the grounds have quite a charm. Unfortunately there is bird poop running down the walls about everywhere. We could understand the outside but in the lobby too??? Breakfast was a typical Egyptian meal with breads, jams, fruit, olives and eggs made to order. It's actually more than you can eat and good. Lunch and dinner on the other hand share the same menu and it's not much for a lunch menu. There were no sandwiches on it the 4 days we were there and we elected to take the free shuttle across the Nile and ate at restaurants two nights. When we asked about the lunch member the workers actually said the queen makes the menus and that's what they make. The queen being Marina the owner. We checked out early in the morning and the boy at the front desk asked me how many sodas I drank. I told him I had no idea and it wasn't my job to keep track. We also couldn't exchange USD to Egyptian pounds. We were told only Marina could do that.

I appreciate the amount of space in the rooms and the decor and uniqueness of their design truly like being in a palace

The hotel is beautifully designed, all the staff are extremely kind. The check in was easy and the owners came to personally greet the guests. The hotel is located on the West Bank, and I took a car to get to the hotel in the West Bank which was hard for the driver to find. It would have been easier to take a cab to the Nile Queen Restaurant on the East Bank and call the hotel to take their free motorboat service which pulls up to the dock at the hotel. You can take their boat back and forth between the two side of the River when exploring the city. The have a nice restaurant and the food was delicious. Nice pool. The comforter and towel wasn't the cleanest; one of the towels had stains on it and I had an allergic reaction when trying to sleep, wasn't sure if that was the dust or sand in this area. I only stayed for 1 night so didn't bother letting the staff know but I'm sure they would've swapped out if I communicated this to them.

Poor internet condition

Awesome accommodations

What a gorgeous place. Not only was the staff more than friendly but the location, while slightly out of the way, is superb. But the rooms and amazing architecture is the grand hit. Do not miss this place.

Gorgeous boutique hotel, wonderful service and restaurant. Boat to take you across the Nile to the East bank included. Lovely pool, could have stayed and relaxed much longer.

The Djorff Palace was our favorite hotel in all of Egypt. The architecture is magnificent, the view of the Nile superb, and the surrounding farmland is so serene. It is an oasis away from hustle and bustle of downtown Luxor. The owners, Dr. Marina and Muhammed are both very interesting people with magnificent life stories. And they'll take great care of you. They can arrange transportation to and from Luxor airport, set you up with a guide for the Valley of the Kings, and even book a hot-air balloon ride! But you might just want to stay at the Palace and enjoy a relaxing day by the pool - with full-on English High Tea! The food and staff are excellent as well. Overall, this was the best place we stayed in all of Egypt (the Ruby Suite is amazing!)

Great hotel and amazing service!

Great hotel with a lot of charm. Beautiful grounds, lovely made to order breakfast, and away from the hustle of Luxor. Mohamed and Marina will go out of their way to ensure you are happy and enjoying your stay. They also offer a free motor boat transport from east to west bank, making it easy to get around. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Luxor.

Loved the owner, would book again.

Lots of character
