“Good location, but very basic.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Now you can hardly get any views of the Nile river from the hotel rooms due to some construction works on the river shores. However the hotel is just a few steps away from Nubian museum and within walking distance to the Corniche-the Nile embankment.
I've been to most of the hotels in Aswan and must admit that food is not bad at all, both buffet and a la carte.
Also the hotel has a nice swimming pool area and they offer good massage at only 20 euro per hour.

“Beautiful view from room”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2011

person found this review helpful

Our hotel room had the best view! It was beautiful! Just what you would imagine an oasis to look like. Unfortunately we only spent one night here as we had to fly back to Cairo but enjoyed the location and the view! The only down side was they couldn't get wifi for us and we only had our phones with us not computers. But would certainly recommend this hotel.

“Good Location, Beautiful Views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011

Good location on high ground overlooking the nile, brilliant views of the botalical islands and the feluca's sailing at sunset, very close to the nubian museum ( which has good displays and lovely gardens/waterfalls). Had a lovely room on the 4th floor with terrace balcony, including sunbeds and dinning table ideal for a private meal overlooking the nile. Staff were very helpful, very large, quiet pool with swim-up pool bar and plenty of sunbeds. Breakfast was good with varied choice,omelettes, cheeses, salad, breads etc and lots of fresh coffee, would definatley stay again, November was a good time to travel ( averaged about 25 so not too hot ) lots to see in Aswan, especially Phillae Temple and Kalabsha, Markets much larger and more traditional than Luxor lots of bargans to be had, especially silver jewelry and egyptian oils.Recommed a felluca trip to the botanical islands, and sailing back by the old Cateract Hotel and Elephantine.

Room Tip: High floors are quieter, ask for Nile facing

“Beautiful Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

Wonderful hotel, views and staff very good. Food in the restaurant for breakfast was perfect. The room was clean and up to par.

Room Tip: I do not think you could find a bad room in this hotel.
