Can't say enough good things about this place! An oasis of calm in hectic Egypt, the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and organize our time in Luxor. It's right in the city center, the tours they arrange are great, and it was the only place in the entire country where we didn't feel hassled or stressed. For the price, you can't beat it!Can't say enough good things about this place!

Really nice guys and not pushy (a blessing in Luxor). They are reaaaally into Bob Marley but of course that should be no surprise. Very big breakfast. It's definitely a budget place, but if you're not expecting the works you'll be very satisfied with this hostel.Really nice guys and not pushy (a blessing in Luxor).

Awesome hostel. Staff was friendly and helpful, location was pretty good. We only stayed for one night but would have easily stayed longer if we'd had more time as the atmosphere was fantastic, especially up on the roof. We'll definately stay when we come back.Awesome hostel. Staff was friendly and helpful, location was pretty good.

Great place to stay with an amazing rooftop communal area. Laid back atmosphere with free breakfast. Massive, MASSIVE relief from the hassle other Egyptians like to inflict on foreigners.

A great hostel, we stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed our time here. Amr met us at the train station and we were given a free caleche to the hostel, which was really nice after being harassed constantly by touts from other hotels on our arrival in Luxor. When we arrived at the hostel we were offered breakfast and were able to rest in another room until our room was ready. Breakfast was good and the roof-top terrace was a lovely place to relax. A very laid back, friendly and welcoming atmosphere :)A great hostel, we stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed our time here.

A really nice place to stay in Luxor, everything was as advertised. There is no need to take a tour out of Cairo to Luxor, just hop on a train and stay here. Then do it yourself or these guys can help organise much cheaper trips for you. Recommended.A really nice place to stay in Luxor, everything was as advertised.

This place was great. The owners will go out of their way to help accommodate your needs. JUST ASK! There could have been a few small touches of cleanliness in the rooms and toilet that would have made it perfect... but otherwise it was "on point." One Love....This place was great.

The staff here is very friendly. They were extremely nice to me. The place is very clean and comfortable. On the top room is a nice lounge area with plenty of cool murals depicting Bob Marley. In fact all throughout the hostel there are beautiful mural and posters of Bob Marley and Che Gueverra. The owner was really nice and made sure that I ate breakfast in the morning. In fact, I was running late for a tour and he made my breakfast to go! I defiantly recommend staying here!The staff here is very friendly. They were extremely nice to me.
