Villa Kaslan Apartments

This was like a little haven in the West Bank - with a verdant view from the top of the banana plantation. Highly recommend a stay here and all staff are helpful, especially Waled. We had organised our sight seeing tour and arrangements could be made for collection from the Villa Kaslan. It is well placed for the sights of Valley of the Kings, Deir el Medina - a must, Mortuary temple of Hatshepsut and others. Our stay was peaceful and pleasant.

Was recommended this place when in Aswan. Didn’t look at pictures and just turned up. Absolutely amazed. No problem with us just turning up and a really lovely welcome too. Complimentary drink also. No pressure whatsoever from staff like what seems the rest of Egypt. Staff were great with my little lad he wanted to stay longer. Another massive shock when they took us to the apartment! It was massive and done out beautifully, and really clean. A lot of time and effort has been put into to this little gem ! Food is fantastic too and very well priced. Can’t fault the place and will be back next year !

Simply fabulous! Villa Kaslan is a true gem located on the much less touristy West Bank of Luxor. The property is clean and very well maintained. The small restaurant cooks great food which is always really fresh and tasty. But it is the owner Abdul and his friends & family that make Villa Kaslan such a brilliant choice. Nothing is too much trouble and Abdul arranged all of our guides and sightseeing for much less than any of the online agencies. To top this, the drivers and guides we had turned out to be exceptional. If you are looking to both enjoy the amazing history of Luxor and get to know more about the people of modern day Egypt, then this is the place for you. The hospitality at Villa Kaslan was truly memorable. This was our first time, but will certainly not be our last. Sean & Ceri

Our studio apartment exceeded our expectations. A sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom plus an enormous terrace complete with clothes airer! The whole place was super clean and the staff helpful. A huge, delicious birthday cake came with the compliments of the owner. Our taxi driver, Yasser, provided by Villa Kaslan was excellent. We hope to return in slightly cooler weather - exceptionally hot at 37 degrees! The quietness of the area is wonderful with absolutely no hassle. Thank you all.

Great place to stay to visit Luxor. We were there 2 days with our 2 kids in a very well equiped appartement. The team of the hotel is very nice and efficient to organize tours for you: we did the king valey and other great places with a guide + chauffeur for a very nice price. I strongly recommend !

We stayed here 2 nights thanks to a friend's recommendation and had a really hard time leaving - our experience was absolutely amazing!! Abdul, the owner, is an awesome person and can't do enough for his guests. The staff, unchanged for the past 10 years, are equally fantastic. Food and fresh juices were great, rooms were beautifully decorated, clean and spacious, swimming pool was a delight. To top everything off, Spotty the dog and Minkish the cat were always around to be petted. Our driver, Sherif, took us everywhere with an impeccably clean car. They even organized the boat to cross to the east bank. The location is perfect: quiet and green, next to a banana plantation. Yet, just next to all main attractions of Luxor: Valley of Kings and Queens, Luxor Temple, Karnak, hot air balloon, among others. Dendera is an hour away but absolutely worth it! Best option in Luxor, can't recommend it enough!

This was easily our favourite place to stay during our entire trip along the Nile valley. Villa Kaslan arranged a very comfortable transfer for us from Aswan to Luxor, and the driver took us to visit two temples on the way. On arrival we found ourselves walking into a beautifully presented villa with an immaculate swimming pool and a delightful walled garden of flowers, fruit and vegetables, which housed the restaurant. We stayed in one of the two large studio units at the end of the garden. They came complete with kitchen, bathroom and a big wardrobe. The decor was modern, simple and stylish. The beds were large and comfortable with cosy duvets. The air conditioning worked well and the lighting was good. Each studio had their own veranda and roof terrace. The latter offered sweeping views over a banana plantation, a great place to sit and enjoy the sunsets. Do check out the pictures and videos on Google Maps as well as here.  
There was excellent fast Wi-Fi throughout the property.
We ate in the restaurant every evening. It is a roofed area open to the garden on two sides that can be closed off with cotton curtains if the breeze is a little cool. There are three large tables and they only cook for their guests. The menu offers a good range and the food is freshly prepared to order. The food is very high quality and it helps that you are eating it in a beautiful outdoor setting. The prices are very reasonable for both, food and drink, including wine and beer. For what we could see it was by far the best place to eat locally.
As for breakfast, it’s large and delicious, with omelette, salad, fresh fruit, falafel, cooked beans, local soft feta cheese, flat bread, yoghurt and cake.
But the best thing about Villa Kaslan is the owner Abdul and his crew. They really look after their guests and care about them. They are a close-knit team and one could sense that they all enjoyed working with each other. It makes Villa Kaslan a relaxed and friendly place to stay. The atmosphere is very much of a home shared rather than a more distant, formal hotel. The team became like friends and we were sad to leave them. Villa Kaslan organises trips to all the amazing cultural sights in and around Luxor, as well as wonderful trips to see the real Egypt of farming life in the Nile valley. If you need a taxi or boat transfer to anywhere they will fix it up, and all at fair, competitive prices. This took the stress out of our stay and allowed us to really enjoy exploring Luxor. We highly recommend Villa Kaslan as a truly special place to stay.

I had a very nice stay. The room was beautiful, spacious and clean with beautiful views over the fields around. Abdel the owner and his stuff were very attentive and made sure that I have a great stay. I highly recommend the breakfast and dinner. The food is delicious and portions are very generous. Highly recommend the place for the atmosphere, location, hospitality and great value for money!!
