Delicious Rooftop Meals

“I thoroughly enjoyed dining at the hotel’s rooftop restaurant. The view of the Nile, especially during sunset, was absolutely stunning. The evening meals were particularly good, especially when I opted for the chef's special, which was delicious every time. One of my favorite experiences was ordering a fresh Egyptian breakfast, which included an array of flavorful dishes like falafel and fuul. Everything was prepared with care and made my stay feel special.” view full review

Comfortable and Inviting Rooms

“I stayed in a cozy room with a amazing view of the Nile. The room was clean and comfortable, complete with efficient air conditioning which was a relief from the heat. I loved sitting on my balcony and enjoying the serene atmosphere. It really added to the overall experience, and I felt quite at home every time I returned to my room.” view full review

Relaxing Poolside Vibes

“The small pool at the hotel was a fantastic place to unwind after a day of exploring. It was clean and well-maintained. I enjoyed spending my afternoons lounging by the pool, refreshing myself with a pressed lemon juice. There’s something truly relaxing about cooling off in the water while taking in the beautiful surroundings and the view of the Nile.” view full review

Fun Felucca Trips

“One of the highlights of my stay was the two-day Felucca trip on the Nile, arranged through the hotel. It was a unique experience to swim in the clean waters of the Nile while enjoying freshly cooked meals right on the boat. Sleeping under the stars with the gentle sounds of the water around me was lovely—and having a knowledgeable guide enriched the experience beyond what I expected.” view full review

I had a mixed experience at El Mesala. The views of the Nile were stunning and the welcoming atmosphere felt like being with family, especially since the owner, Mohammed, made me feel at home during my stay. However, the hotel was a bit run down, and I faced some issues with service consistency, particularly regarding room maintenance and breakfast availability. Despite this, the rooftop restaurant dished out some delicious local food, making it a decent stay overall.

I had a mixed experience at El Mesala. The view of the Nile was absolutely magnificent, and the location was convenient, making it easy to hop on a boat to the east bank. However, I faced some issues with my room, such as no hot water, and the hotel could use better soundproofing. Overall, it had its ups and downs but the charm of Luxor shines through.

Staying at this hotel was an amazing experience! The views of the Nile and Luxor Temple from my balcony were simply breathtaking, especially during sunset. The location on the West Bank is perfect for exploring Luxor, and the friendly staff made my stay even more enjoyable. The only downside was the occasional noise from the road, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience. For anyone looking to soak up the charm of Luxor, this is a fantastic choice.

My stay at this hotel was mixed. On one hand, the location is fantastic with stunning views of the Nile, and the dining on the rooftop is enjoyable, making it a great spot to relax. However, the room we received didn’t match what we booked, and the service was inconsistent, leading to a less than ideal experience overall. While the hotel has its charm, there are definitely areas that require improvement.

The el Mesala is a charming family-run hotel on the West Bank of Luxor, offering a clean and comfortable stay with a breathtaking view of the Nile and Luxor Temple. The rooms, while a bit dated, are well-kept and the hospitality from the staff, especially the manager, makes for a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, the Wi-Fi can be quite unreliable, and some maintenance issues were not addressed promptly. Overall, it’s a great value for the experience, particularly if you enjoy local hospitality and laid-back surroundings.
