We stayed here for one night before moving to the reasonable but more expensive Keylany Hotel. We were given a room on the front with a great view of the Nile but a very loud moored ferry kept us up nearly all night, as the windows were so thin.
It had evidently not been cleaned for our arrival as there were other people's hair in the sink and on the floor, and overall dirtiness in the room. There was a fluorescent tube for lighting and grubby walls and curtains.
Would never recommend this hotel to anyone unless you are on a severe budget and do not care for cleanliness or service. There are better places in Aswan!!

Nice staff, discrete and kindness, clean room and bathroom. sufficient breakfast, what more for that money..

Clean, cheap and sufficient hotel for any budget traveler in Aswan, superb Nile-views from the rooms, very good location. Unfortunately the rooftop terrace and the pool are not in use (no water in the pool and dirty) but still a good place for even better Nile views! The tours they offer are reasonably priced and ok (we did Abu Simbel, a 3 hour tour to high dam, Philae temple and unfinished obelisk and a sunset felucca tour around Elefantine island) BUT: what they completely cocked up unfortunately was our planned trip by felucca to Kom Ombo (incl. an overnight stay and continuing transport to Luxor with visiting temples on the way). Achmed, who arranges the trips told us a very good price for 2 persons which we accepted and an even better price if we would be more people and adviced us not talk to any other felucca captain who would only give us unreasonable offers. So we totally relied on him (as mentioned above all the other tours were fine and the price was good) with the result that at 21:30 before the day of our departure we were informed that the felucca tour was cancel for lack of participants. We talked about this trip many times with Achmed before and there was never a mentioning of a minimum need of persons for this trip. Given the short notice we had no chance to make other arrangements with felucca captains of our choice (maybe would have been more expansive but easy) and ended up going to Luxor by train – so please triple-check your arrangements!

We stayed at the Memnon in Aswan for 4 nights. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. They picked us up at the train station even though the train was 2 hrs late. The staff organised some great trips for us. An afternoon trip to Abu Simbel in a private taxi, we had Abu Simbel to ourselves, and also a great nile cruise which was fantastic value at £100 for 2 people for 3 nights. The hostel has a good location. Our room had a fantastic nile view. We were very pleased with our room which was air conditioned,en-suite and breakfast was included. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Memnon as very good value for money.
