General Comments
Just returned from a week in the Mercure Hotel booked through teletext holidays and had a great time. The hotel staff are excellent and very helpful.
The rooms are a little dated but fine and were cleaned daily with TV, Safe etc
The hotel restaurants are not great but the food is adequate. The bar is very nice and the reception area and pool are nice and clean.
The hotel makes a very good base for touring the sites around Luxor.
I must mention the tourist relations manager, he is one of the most helpful people I have ever met, nothing is any trouble and he will always advise on local pubs, restaurants etc.
I did have problems with the cash machine not reading the new chip and pin cards but just went to the bank next door.
Will definitely return.
