"We were staying in large, impersonal hotels in every other location on this trip so the quirky, unique nature of Djorff Palace really endeared this place to us! Yes, some of it might be a bit gaudy and over the top, but it is also full of character, stunning architecture and inspired touches everywhere! It’s the kind of place where you can wander around at all times of day and night and marvel at the beautiful vistas and objets d’art. It must have taken many years, deep passion, a keen eye and a lot of money to gather all the beautiful things that make up Djorff Palace and we really appreciated the fact that it is clearly a labour of love.
We stayed in the Ruby Suite which was stunning, not least its wonderful balcony with its intricate woodwork and fantastic view of the peaceful Nile river. Yes, the lighting is on the “ambient” side, there is no coffee-making facility and you have to borrow a hairdryer at reception but really, those were relatively minor inconveniences.
We can’t speak highly enough of the staff who were lovely, especially in the restaurant/by the pool. While the dinner menu is limited, it is freshly cooked each night and we always found something we enjoyed. Same goes for breakfast. The boat service both across the Nile and down-river towards the Valley of the Kings was excellent and I enjoyed our boat rides and watching river-life at different times of day and night immensely. All in all, we loved our choice of hotel."
