Happy Land Luxor

The rooftop was very comfortable. The room was just the right size. It had a bathtub and was very comfortable. However, it was noisy outside until late at night.

I highly recommend this place for solo travelers. The owner listens to your requests and responds appropriately. You can also rent a bicycle. And the breakfast is a la carte and excellent.

I am a 25-year-old East Asian backpacker. I stayed in February 2015. [Cleanliness] It is clean above the price range, so you should not feel uncomfortable. *The shared bathroom may vary depending on the hotel mate you stay with. The beds and futons are clean. There were no bed bugs, and I have not heard of any such things. [Location] It is conveniently located in an alley in downtown. It is about a 10-minute walk from Luxor Station, so access is good. *It may feel dangerous because it is a dimly lit alley, but it is not dangerous because only locals and children are staying there. There is a little noise because children play with firecrackers, but if Cairo is 10, this hostel is about 2. [Service] Many of the staff understand English and communication is easy. They are used to arranging tours, so if you actively use them, you should be able to have a fruitful stay. *Depending on the number of participants, the hotel mates will arrange tours for you, so there are many opportunities to make friends through tours. [Amenities/Facilities] The shared bathroom is inconvenient because it is integrated with the toilet, but there are many in the hotel, so there is no waiting. *Hot water is available. Soap is not provided, but previous residents may have left some. If you buy it at a nearby store, it costs about 65-70 EGP. The breakfast menu is basically the same, but it is delicious so it is not a problem. *I have never had a stomach ache from breakfast, so please eat it with peace of mind. The rooftop is a dining area and community area where you can exchange information with hotel mates. *This is the best and distinctive feature of this hostel, so please spend more time on the rooftop than in your room during your stay. There are cute dogs and cats. This hostel is recommended for backpackers and solo travelers. I did not feel any bias in the nationality of the hotel mates, but I think your satisfaction will change depending on whether you can communicate in English or not.
