Qasr El Nil

Yes, book it if you want a top-rated, low-cost room about 10 minutes on foot from Luxor Temple. Skip it if you want a pool or an on-site restaurant, or if a score built on only 66 reviews makes you uneasy.

Qasr El Nil is for travellers who rank location and guest score above facilities. Couples and families on a budget fit well: family rooms are listed, along with a garden, a terrace, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning.
What you will not find in the data is a pool or a restaurant. If you plan to spend hot afternoons by the water, our Budget pick at the same price lists a pool. And if you want a resort with a spa, the Luxury pick is a different class altogether.
Location and getting around
The address is West Bank, Al-Bairat, Ramla. Guests rate the location 9.7 out of 10, the best of our three Luxor picks.
Walking times are straight-line estimates. Luxor Temple is about 0.8 km away, roughly 10 minutes on foot, which is the shortest walk to a major sight among our Luxor picks. Karnak is 3.3 km, around 41 minutes, and the Ramesseum 3.7 km, around 46 minutes. Both of those are far, so plan on public transport or a taxi. Free parking is listed if you are driving.
What guests say
Guests give Qasr El Nil 9.6 out of 10, joint top score in our Luxor sample. The catch is volume: that number comes from just 66 reviews, the smallest count of our three picks here. A handful of new stays could move it.
Our review summary lists no specific likes or dislikes for this property. We cannot say whether guests single out the staff, the rooms or the breakfast. Read recent reviews for comments on room size, noise, cleanliness and how easy it is to get around.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
The reference price was €41.45 per night, about €83 for the stay. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November) for 2 adults in one room. They are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
That was 69% below the €135.25 median of the hotels we sampled. White Gorf Hotel, our Budget pick, showed exactly the same price with a score of 9.5 and a listed pool, but Luxor Temple is about 31 minutes on foot from there. Al Moudira Hotel, our Luxury pick, matched the 9.6 score at €486.74 per night. In short, Qasr El Nil gives you the top score and the best location of the three for the lowest price we saw.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible properties in Luxor, and Qasr El Nil shared first place on guest score. As our Best Value pick, it balances score, number of reviews and price. Its low review count kept it from being a clear-cut winner, but the combination of score, location and price was hard to beat.
