The hotel has balconies with beautiful Nile River views. It's a three-star hotel with an elevator and spacious rooms. Although I stayed on the 6th floor, I could still hear car horns on the street, which is unavoidable in Egypt. If you're sensitive to noise, wear earplugs. The hotel manager is very welcoming and will help you book hot air balloon tours. The price is very, very cheap compared to other websites. If you don't want the hassle of negotiating prices, you can book directly with the manager. They'll pick you up at 4:30 the next morning and take you to the hot air balloon launch site near the Colossi of Memnon on the west bank. Whether you actually take off depends on the weather. I bought a first-fly ticket and arrived early, around 6:00, but we didn't take off until 7:30 when the sun came out. If you're unlucky and there's no wind, it might be canceled, so it's all about luck. The St. Joseph's Hotel is conveniently located near Luxor Temple and the train station. The bathroom has a shower and bathtub, and the hot water is hot enough. The single bed is very large and fairly clean. For less than NT$900 during the peak season in February, it's a great deal. The downside is that even on higher floors, you can still hear the traffic noise from the street, but that's to be expected with a Nile River view from the balcony. Looking out over the Valley of the Kings, the value for money is simply unbeatable.
