“OK for a couple of nights”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

I stayed 2 nights here in November 2011. The hotel is basic and clean, OK for people who are in Aswan for a few days to see the town and sights accessible from Aswan, not to hang around the hotel and enjoy the amenities. The 2-bed room is clean and comfortable enough, with private bathroom and AC. Basic breakfast is served on the roof top, and there are computers in the basement for guests to use (for a very small fee). I like the proximity to the souk but it is also the drawback because the noise level is very high into the early morning. I made the mistake of embarking on the 15-minute walk from train station through the souk upon arrival on train at noon, instead of taking a taxi to the hotel. It was a very hot and miserable walk with the luggage. I’d advise everybody to pay the 5 Egyptian Pounds and save yourself the misery. There are many eating places and stores in the hotel area. Locals are friendly and it is quite safe to be out walking about after dark. Shop owners are not aggressive, but the felucca captains can be annoyingly persistent. Main reason why I picked this hotel is the low-cost tours they could arrange. I took the Abu Simbel tour and the 1-way drive from Aswan to Luxor, stopping at Kom Ombo and Edfu on the way. Both were comfortable, well-organized, and at a price lower than what other fellow travelers on the same mini van had paid to their hotels. I would recommend this hotel on the basis of the low-cost tours they offer.

“Not sure what to say.......”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011

Its clean, its painted, its has good service, it has wifi (albeit slow with limited coverage), it has security cameras, it has limited secure parking, its central, its has an excellent breakfast plate. After all that i'm a bit put off by the price. It seems to be twice the price of other hotels in town. So although i think its a reasonable hotel to stay in if you are in Aswan would you be better in one of the other hotels for a lot less money??? i'm not sure. The rooms have a safe which is welcomed and the hotel has a strict no guest policy for none residents. There is one parking space for a car outside with cameras and enough room for a couple of motocycles. Ideal for overlanders.

“Good and Central”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

Hotel located opposite entrance to Souk (you can walk from this entrance through the souk all the way to the train station) and near the river bank. Room was basic but clean with good air-cond. Booked the Abu Simbel tour from hotel and everything went without a glitch. Given a breakfast box as had to leave at 2.30am for the tour.
Will definitely return.

“Ok”

Stayed here 2 nights with the wife and 2 year old. This was the only place we saw in town. Ask to see a couple rooms. The first was windowless, the second somewhat better. En-suite room was clean with AC , if small and uninspiring. Everything worked. Front desk could have been a little less aloof and more helpful.

“Jail house”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

person found this review helpful

I didn't like anything about this hotel excepting the fact that the cars they hired for us was good and the rates are very reasonable. The windows face towards the back of another room and you can touch the walls when you put your hand outside. Their wasn't any air circulation inside the room and you always feel claustrophobic. The lighting was just like slums with low powered tube lights the only source of illumination and the toilet had no space to move about and there was spillage inside the room when you had a bath. One of our twin bed broke on the 2nd day and there was no replacement and both of us had to lie on a single bed. The breakfast was bad the coffee shop on the rooftop served us a cup each of coffee about an hour after placing the order. None of the workers seems to be interested in working and you will feel as if they are doing you a favour. The reception was dirty and the most horrible part was that they kept a no of birds which littered the whole area with bird droppings. Just simply disgusting.

Room Tip: Stay out of this hotel. You can have better deals.
