Eatabe
review
Where
to
begin…
This
was
a
very
interesting
four
nights
we
spent
at
the
Eatabe
hotel
in
Luxor.
We
should
start
off
by
saying
we
visited
late
July,
which
is
definitely
the
lower
season
for
this
area
as
temperatures
are
very
hot.
The
hotel
is
undergoing
some
renovations
in
the
lobby
area
at
the
moment
so
some
of
the
aforementioned
restaurants
and
bars
were
not
available.
Pros:
The
Hotel
was
very
clean.
We
did
not
feel
uncomfortable
with
the
cleanliness
at
any
time.
The
rooms
are
dated,
but
still
in
very
good
condition
and
well-maintained.
The
pool
is
great
and
a
big
selling
feature
for
this
hotel.
One
of
the
concierges
Wael
consistently
goes
above
and
beyond,
and
should
be
commended
for
his
efforts.
By
far
the
best
staff
member
we
encountered
at
this
hotel.
The
location
was
good
and
the
hotel
felt
safe.
Cons:
The
moment
we
walked
into
the
hotel,
arriving
from
the
airport,
before
even
checking
in,
a
man
approached
us
with
pamphlets
speaking
about
the
massage
services
offered
at
the
hotel
spa.
We
politely
declined
and
took
his
pamphlet
and
went
to
check
in.
Within
about
an
hour
of
arriving
in
our
room,
we
get
a
phone
call
from
this
man
on
our
hotel
room
phone,
once
again
pressuring
us
to
come
to
the
spa
for
one
of
the
massages.
I
found
this
was
quite
inappropriate
to
cold-call
guests
in
their
room.
Over
the
span
of
the
next
four
days
of
our
stay,
we
were
approached
by
this
man
approximately
10
more
times
when
visiting
the
lobby
and
pool
area.
Every
time,
there
seemed
to
be
some
gimmick
or
discount
(but
these
seemed
to
change
every
day).
Every
time,
we
politely
declined.
I
found
this
was
very
pushy
and
inappropriate
to
be
taking
place
within
the
walls
of
an
established
hotel.
The
breakfast.
Our
room
did
not
include
breakfast,
which
we
knew
before
arriving.
We
figured
we
would
just
go
down
the
first
morning
and
pay
for
the
breakfast
buffet.
Upon
entering
the
buffet,
our
room
number
was
checked
on
a
sheet
to
be
sure
we
were
staying
in
the
hotel
and
we
were
told
it
was
250
Egyptian
pounds
per
person.
This
felt
like
a
lot
to
me
given
then
offering,
but
we
paid
anyway
(along
with
a
100
pound
tip).
The
breakfast
was
decent
with
a
large
selection
the
day
we
visited.
We
then
went
to
the
front
desk
later
just
to
check
on
the
price
of
the
breakfast
and
were
told
it
was
180
Egyptian
pounds
for
guests.
We
then
showed
them
the
receipt
that
we
were
charged
250
pounds
per
person.
This
clearly
embarrassed
the
staff
as
we
had
caught
them
in
a
scam.
The
restaurant
manager
came
downstairs
and
eventually
refunded
us
the
difference.
Overall,
it
was
just
a
very
awkward
and
uncomfortable
experience.
We
then
came
to
find
out,
that
based
on
a
placard
fixed
in
our
room
behind
the
door,
the
breakfast
is
actually
only
supposed
to
be
150
pounds
per
person
for
guests.
Even
with
the
“correction”
from
the
front
desk,
we
were
STILL
overcharged.
We
did
not
pursue
this
any
further,
because
for
the
sake
of
30
pounds
each,
it
not
feel
worth
creating
a
large
issue.
I
just
wanted
this
experience
to
be
heard,
because
I
feel
like
this
is
extremely
unprofessional,
and
the
price
of
the
breakfast
needs
to
be
sorted
out
and
explained
to
guests
upon
arrival.
The
wifi.
Wifi
extremely
slow
in
room
and
not
great
in
the
lobby.
We
really
recommend
visiting
Luxor.
It
was
a
great
place.
