Domina Inn Emilio Hotel, Luxor

A very good hotel in Luxor. The price is cheap if you book online. The facilities is also good. But the room is little small for a triple room, but it is enough for rest. The hotel is in the city center, though the city center is not so prosperous in Luxor.

Great value hotel, very friendly staff, ideal location. Sometimes things go wrong, but they are typical for what can happen in Egypt, so don't be annoyed but see the humour of it. For example: we were waiting for someone to pick us up and informed reception that we would be on the roof garden; at one point someone telephoned the waiter there, he looked at us and then put down the telephone. Later we we informed that reception had called him and asked if two people were on the roof garden, which he confirmed; instead of warning us that our pickup had arrived he disconnected, and the pickup went away. Also funny is breakfast buffet, where two pots of coffee and two of tea are not sufficient for so many people, so when new tea and coffee are brought they are finished very quickly, but no one thinks of putting on the kettle again before those pots are empty; as a result most of the time one has to wait, wait, wait for tea or coffee. Same with the cook who is making omelets: equipment for one omelet only, and a cue of maybe ten people wanting to order one. Again: don't be annoyed, smell the roses, this is Egypt! All in all a very good hotel.

At the time we were there, the hotel was under construction. The outside was completely covered in scaffolding and was very dirty and dusty. Could not use the our patio, covered in electical wire and very dirty. While using the pool they were drilling the cement and we were breathing it in. The drinks at the pool ie: rum and coke was hot - and no the Hotel does not carry ice apparently? The hotel staff would not give us any idea about what was charged for taxi's to sites or how to use the buses. We probably would not stay there again.
