New Pola — Hotel in Luxor City

Location is good. At first I thought it to far from ferry, but we always walked and there are shared minibuses for virtually nothing, or horse carriages for 50 euro cent, or taxis for 30-50 euro cent. And center of town is too noisy. The hotel has Nile view on the front, but also a noisy street, we preferred garden view because it is quieter. Rooms have fridge, a balcony and good mattresses. Downstairs you can buy normal priced beer and drink that on your balcony. The room was fairly clean, not $100 clean, bur reasonable. Hot water is a maybe; in our garden view room only after letting the water run for 15-20 minutes, in our Nile view room immediately. Garden btw means a semi uninhabited area wit a few housing blocks or offices, some rubbish and maybe a tree or two. We didt recognize it as garden, but it was quit. The hotel has a shallow swimming pool on the roof with deck chairs and a fantastic view of the Nile and the city. For if you need a break from the stress of the city, where everybody is your friend and wants to sell you something and doesnt go away. Wen we were there his was the second cheapest hotel with a swimming pool on the east side of the river. Breakfast was limited, with instant coffee, tea, not so good bottle orange juice (I think), salad, yogurt, cheese, jam and not good white bread and a one egg omelette. For us acceptable. If you don`t require a luxury hotel, this is a really excellent deal where most of the...

I wouldn’t dare call this place a hotel. Everything was absolutely horrible - the beds, the bathrooms, the toilets that leak water onto your fingers as you flush, the ‘shower’, the stained towels, ripped bedsheets, the smell, and the staff (incredibly rude and laugh in your face). The doors are all broken, if you pull too hard the doorknob comes right off… honestly this place was straight out of a horror movie. The staff have no cares in the world - and after spending an entire day out, the door was still not fixed. The only decent thing about this ‘hotel’ is its location, other than that - it’s absolutely garbage. I was uncomfortable from the minute we checked in. The only reason we ended up here was because it was new years and everything was fully booked and our original accommodation fell through. Visiting Egypt and Luxor for the first time, this was truly disappointing and really ruined our trip. I would stay away...

New Pola has a good location in the city but beyond that, it’s NOT a good place to stay. |For starters, the servers act very cheeky with women. I was staying here with three other girls and we could sense the staff letching at us and ogling for no reason. ||The rooms have a terrible stink to them. The service is poor and overall the experience has been bad. |On asking them to bring us two plates and spoons, the servers refused to get it. |One of the waiters tried to overcharge us for water, 6 times the price. |The staff is trying to con the guests into paying extra. ||Another female guest from Mexico was staying at the hotel alone and she shared that the she was scared of being alone at the hotel. That one of the waiters tried to harass her too. ||I wouldn’t recommend this place, specially not for...
