“Looks good in the pictures but does not deliver.”
The location was ideal and on first glance the hotel also appeared great. But it did not deliver. *STAIRS! No lifts. Two flights down from reception and every room involved at least one more flight. Ours was three flights to our room from pool level. Terrible with luggage and no lift at all. *Room appeared nice but cleanliness was poor. Dust in all corners, carpet grubby, bathroom sloppily cleaned with no attention to detail. *On checking in reception did some very odd maths with the room bill. As is usual in Egypt prices are listed in other currencies. On our Booking.com reservation we had the amount quoted in Sterling. The hotel wanted to charge us in USD then convert to Sterling then to Egyptian pounds. Which would have added 1/3rd more onto our bill. *The Restaurant is like something from Fawlty Towers. First they ignored us, then the smiled and nodded as we asked for a menu. I had to chase them around the restaurant to get a copy of the menu. The staff kept disappearing into the back. Finally we managed to order (set menu, soup, salad, about 5 main choices and dessert) and asked for tray service to our room. When it arrived no cutlery. So three flights down, two up and it took three staff members about 8 minutes to give me cutlery and napkins. Food OK. The choices to stay in Abydos are limited but this hotel is overpriced and despite looking nice it does not deliver. I rarely write reviews but for this I make an exception. The Temple is spectacular but if you can skip the hotel.

“Great location for visiting Abydos.”
The hotel has a great location just a short walk from the Temple of Seti 1. It is peaceful and quiet. The rooms are situated around a clean pool with seating areas and loungers. Our room was spacious and reasonably comfortable with attached bathroom and a lovely large balcony where we could sip ice cold beer and watch the sun go down. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and helped us to organise our onward journey. The buffet breakfast was good and staff very helpful. The dinner choice was rather limited but the food was also good.

“I came to House of Life to bask in the energy of the Osirion and it was fantastic.”
Arriving at this hotel in the middle of Ramadan...mid-covid and as a woman traveling alone, who on arrival was the only guest at this hotel...I think most people might expect some interesting obstacles. However, the two nights I spent at House of Life were beyond all my happy expectations. The staff were so lovely and the food fantastic. The room was simple and comfortable with really great air-conditioning. I had the best massage of my life the second night there. Seriously, for the whole time at that hotel, I was captivated by the ambiance of the place. It was like staying in an ancient Egyptian healing sanctuary, with all the bells and whistles. Abydos Temple is literally across the street. A two night stay is essential. I would have been disappointed to leave after only one night.
