The hotel is a bit difficult to locate as its entrance is from a small lane, but a large board on the main road advertises their restaurant, Al Sahaby Lane. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful.
One major disadvantage is that they do not have a lift to go to the rooms, which are in the first to third floors, and so if you have a mobility issue, do not book here. The room was small, but well appointed. The bathroom was clean and had all amenities. I was disappointed with the bath area, which was a tiny square with a shower curtain on 3 sides. Once your body got wet with water, the curtain tended to stick to your back, making the whole bathing experience so uncomfortable that I pushed the curtain away, resulting in the whole bathroom becoming wet by the time my shower ended.
The main attraction of the hotel is its proximity to the Luxor temple, market area and railway station all of which are within 500 meters or so from the hotel. There are plenty of eateries all around, including some in the Nile Corniche, which are within walking distance.
All in all, it is a wonderful area for a budget traveller, or for anyone who does not mind the minor inconveniences that I described above.
