    - the rooms may require refurbishment

    - Ali and his family's warm hospitality - the breakfast was good (omelette, cheese, bread and coffee) - the location was close to everything

    Nothing

    The location was perfect. Right next to the markets and restaurants within walking distance of the intercity buses and the train station. Our host was so kind I got food poisoning on the trip and he let us stay in our room after checkout before our train left to rest, and gave us coffee and lemon tea. Highly recommend if you want a great budget experience in Luxor.

    The sink is leaking. The trip offered by hostel sounds a little bit expensive. They only accept EGP but booking show foreigners only can pay by dollars… one male staff continue ask us personally questions (we are female)

    Very close to train station, bus station and Luxor temple. In this price is good. The young staff offering breakfast are so kind.

    The hostel can check you in 24 hours a day, I came in at 4 am as my bus came from Cairo. The staff are trustworthy people who you can count on to not rip you off. Like other hostels and places. There are plug sockets near beds so you can charge your phone. The hostel is cleaned from top to bottom every day by the cleaners. The toilets and bathroom are clean but outdated. Hence the low price of the hostel. Understandable with the concept. I did a lot of work on my laptop at the hostel in the main area and it was safe to leave the laptop unattended. A decent bunch of guests and staff. You will meet a lot of interesting like-minded travellers with whom you can engage in conversation make lifetime friends and share stories and experiences. The staff are helpful and advise advice on good places to eat nearby. The price is fair for the dorm and is really good value for money for solo travellers. I stayed here 6 nights I think because it was so good and booked multiple times. 3 boking in total. I would recommend this hostel and give it a 10/10. Negatives The mattresses in my male dorm were worn out and very springy, but it was manageable. The pillow was good. A lot of static shocks from the blanket duvet during the day and night, something new I experienced. Never experience static electric shocks. The bathroom is outdated, but that is the concept and how it is. The kids on the street outside are noisy and cheeky to tourists. But that is the odd one. Not the hostel's fault. Most kids are friendly and curious. Dog and animal noises sometimes during the night, but that is all over Egypt. No air conditioning in the summer I think you are in the bedrooms.

    One of the friendliest enjoyable family-feel hostels. Clean, safe, secure, and value for money, with excellent Wi-Fi all around the building. Several Wi-Fi networks to connect to. The team who run the place are lovely the Bad Boy Alpha Male Leader, Mohammed is a cool guy who can organise many activities e.g. hot air balloon e.g. for 1500 EGP at a fair price for second-day flights. Able to hire a taxi for the day trip to Edfu and Kombo temple and finish at Aswan for a fair price with other like-minded travellers. Organised trips to Valleys of Kings and Queens, Hatshepsut Temple, Habu Temple and many more. Nothing is impossible for the team here. Mohammed has a nonsense straight-talking, direct and fair approach. Ensure he provides you with the best service and tours available at the time. Jamila the mother figure and angles of the hostel is nice and friendly and easy to talk to. You can easily ask her for any advice and tips on tours and activities and willing to help you and ensure your needs are met. And finally, the best bit is a young Man called Yunus. Also known as Top G and Boss Man, Yunus. Man of several talents and an all-around loveable character of the hostel. A lovely, hard-working good person. He is a good guy please tip him and the rest of the staff at the hostel. They are hard-working. The breakfast is simple and effective, one egg omelette, tea or coffee, processed cheese, bananas or cucumber or strawberries Egyptian bread and some black stuff. Simple, but does a good job to set you off for the day. Served on the rooftop from 7 am to 10 am. The location is good. Close to Luxor train station, 5 minutes away. Fried chicken shop 2 minutes away. Very good and cheap. Luxor temple is 8 minutes away by walking and many other e.g. McDonald's, Mosque the Nile crossing and Go bus drop off and on station and ticket office. The Luxor market is around the corner 8 minutes. Plenty of small shops to buy drinks snacks and water from.

    There was nothing bad. Felt good from minite one.

    The stuff was proffessional and always available. They were kind and fair. Adviced us on how to navigate the city. We arrived too early and offered us free breakfast in the wonderful rooftop. The hostel is a little spot of tranquility, located very central and really close to both Luxor Temple and the Gobus station, all shops are nearby but the hostel is in a small street with no traffic so that it is very quite. They have fan and air conditioning that works very well. One feels really safe in this hostel. I needed an enveloped and the person in the entrance went himself to buy me one free of charge. Then I also forgot my inalambric headaset in the room and I headed to Hurghada. They not only found it, they also arranged shipping so that I could get them back in Hurghada, also free of charge! Very affordable place, very honest and kind people who are not trying to scam you and always go the extra mile. Thanks so much Sweet Hostel!

    This is a good option for traveller because the nice guys and service. The bathroom is very clean. You also can see them map the floor everyday. The hostel location  is near Luxor temple and Luxor train station. You also could book hot air balloon/king valley/boat on the Nile to see the sunset. And the price is reasonable and the service is pretty complete. All of them are really patient to help me! I really have a good experience in here. Especially Jamila and Mohamed, they give me a big hand. It's also suitable for a girl who travel alone. It makes me feel safety and relaxed! I'll come back this hostel again and again.

    Breakfast was basic and cheerlessly served. I booked a 4-person dorm for 3 nights. Upon arrival to a 3-person dorm, the woman in the room was asked to change rooms with no explanation. I assumed it was to avoid male/female mix. So 2 other males moved into the dorm. No problem. Two days later, I was asked to switch to a 6-person dorm, and the hostel was far from full. I complied--it was only for 1 more night. But the hostel staff seems to care little about shuffling guests around. I can only assume that they wish to pack the most people they can into the fewer rooms, so as to avoid some minor cleaning. This hardly seems right.

    Good location. Wifi good in rooms but not on roof. Rooftop hangout pretty good. Decent value

    Room doors are not closing properly, weak wifi signal. There was also a tent put up on the corridor in front of my room that they rent out.

    Very central, few minutes from the train station, and Luxor temple is also in walking distance. Friendly staff, very helpful. It's not a 5 star hotel, so don't expect too much, but perfect for a few nights.
