Assuan hotellia

Plussat: Shame we only stayed 1 night.

Plussat: Splendid location. Fantastic hotel. The view is breathtaking. The staff super nice helpful. They did everything to make our stay memorable.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and spacious. The breakfast view was incredible. The indoor pool was the highlight of my stay as I had it all to myself so I could take in the beauty of the area and just relax.

Miinukset: The shower water pressure was abit low and in the first night I didn't have hot water but thankfully the hotel send a plumber to the room who managed to fix this issue.

Plussat: Great location and superb room. Staff were helpful and food was good. The spa and gym were excellent and catching a boat on the hotels quay was handy.

Miinukset: You definitely pay for the location and lack of equivalent competition.. I would say the biggest annoyance was the influx of paying tourists who come for the sunset and afternoon tea. It wasn’t apparent to us that you received any benefit for staying there, such as a dedicated prime area for afternoon tea - discounted afternoon tea or something similar.

Plussat: The service was incredible, the view of the Nile was perfect and the rooms were excellent. We felt very accommodated and welcome at all times.

Plussat: Incredible location and history. Beautiful grounds and facilities. This hotel is an attraction in itself. Don’t miss the daily free tour of the Christie and Churchill suites.

Plussat: Great location on the edge of the Nile with good facilities

Miinukset: Perhaps a bit overpriced, the food, breakfast and evening meal, was a bit disappointing in comparison with a similar level of hotel in Cairo that we had just visited.

Plussat: The modern wing

Miinukset: The old wing where we stayed from October 10 to 12. Quite derelicted and in real need of some freshup.

Plussat: Breakfast was complete. Situation was very centrical and quite.

Miinukset: Rooms in not very state of condition. Quality a nice 3 stars in Europe.

Plussat: Regrettable that we were not offered the new wing. It seems the old wing is for groups and booking sites .

Miinukset: Pour condition and quite depressing inside .

Plussat: Location/staff/food

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Very friendly service, notably in the pool area by the recreation team and by the staff in the bar area Excellent pool

Miinukset: We were first given a room of a less comfortable type than booked Very little on offer in the a la carte restauranr

Plussat: Staff was very helpful! Relaxing atmosphere

Miinukset: hotel is not in good shape taking a ferry to get to the hotel not convenient if you're just staying for a night to go to Abu Simbel food was expensive and poor

Plussat: Everyone smile. Not many found in Egypt smile and good at service.

Miinukset: No staff ready at pier to help us bring our luggages up.

Plussat: Comfortable rooms, very good breakfast, nice gym, and fresh pool

Miinukset: No bathrobes and slippers in the room.

Plussat: Nice property beautiful setting by the river but outside no nice village

Miinukset: The little village full of garbage hard to get to it

Plussat: friendly staff as usual,,nile view,,delicious food,,good location,,kayaking (sport activity) ,, nubian beautiful design.

Miinukset: wifi was weak in the room.

Plussat: Amazing! Such a naturally beautiful landscape. The team was just amazing! 10/10! It really feels like an intimate stay, not at all hotel like. So if you’re expecting hotel amenities and facilities, this might not be for you.

Miinukset: It would have been nicer to have had some clarity on booking.com that they have several properties. We didn’t really know which one we were booked into.

Miinukset: Hotel was closed after booking with Orbitz and was in run down poor condition. They need to check their listings and make sure their hotels are still in business. Ana Kato did not answer my phone calls prior to arrival and Orbitz will not refund my money claiming I did not call ahead. How do you call a closed hotel? This hotel is unethical and will not refund my money claiming I did not call. The fact that Orbitz will not make things right makes it worse. DO NOT USE ORBITZ...THEY DO NOT CHECK THEIR PROPERTIES NOR TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH FAIRNESS OR RESPECT.

Plussat: It’s a beautiful location and it’s great to stay in the Nubian Village I highly recommend it. Anakato had nice people working there but there wasn’t really a manager so you were left to sort things out for yourself. I don’t think this place was value for money it felt more like an Airbnb over a hotel experience. It’s a great place but needs more work on customer services and the rooms were good.

Miinukset: I think it was quite expensive for what it was.

Plussat: Friendliness, and generosity of the staff. Cleanliness of hotel.

Plussat: Firstly must point out this is a big-ish chain of little B&Bs along this stretch of the Aswan West Bank, we stayed in Arti Ka specifically. Breakfasts were huge, varied and delicious, the room (a triple) was spacious and clean. The team running the B&B were wonderful! So helpful in giving information and helping us find reasonably priced tour options, and boats/taxis into Aswan. The fresh lemon and mint juice! The place was beautiful- well laid out with beautiful views of the Nile.

Miinukset: The mattresses were rock hard- literally like concrete. The little fridge in the room was very loud

Plussat: The Nubian people were extremely welcoming and the landscape looked something out out of a movie. If you’re looking for a relaxing experience somewhere so soulful and serene come here (the Nile river is right in front of the village).

Miinukset: Nothing really.

Plussat: Very quiet and nice Mohammed is very nice and will make arrangement for food and trips since you are far from the center. Guest house is very pretty and rooms very nice for the price.

Miinukset: You need to pay a lot of money for the taxi because in the nubian village they need to get them from Aswan.

Plussat: Typical Egyptian Breakfast. The bed and the room are clean. The goal is the options of lunch, delicious food with a good presentation.

Miinukset: The hostel is a litte bit far from downtown and there are no options of markets or restaurants close to the hostel.

Plussat: A very helpful owner. He will arrange our trip to abu simbel and luxor... and answered all my question patiently before our trip... very responsive person...

Miinukset: A bit far from Aswan downtown... need guest house owner to arrange for airport pickup

Plussat: The hotel is funky, relaxing and comfortable. Great views Aswam and the damn. Khaled is good, helpful and honest man. We ordered a meal that was Nubian and delicious.

Plussat: Awesome rooftop and quiet location! Perfect to recover after some days travelling. Staff speaks limited english, but is very helpful.

Miinukset: The place was a bit empty

Plussat: The room was huge and confortable, room and bathroom very clean. Views of Nubian village from the hostel are great

Plussat: Basic but clean.

Miinukset: The staff were not so helpful or friendly.

Plussat: Location is good Good breakfast

Miinukset: They didn’t provide complimentary water for the first night only.

Miinukset: The bedroom is so old and toilet also

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent! The rooms have a wonderful Nile view, perfect to watch the sunset. It´s possible to take a motorboat or felluca straight from the hotel.

Plussat: Location , and honesty of the house keeping staff. I forgot an envelope with money in it into the safety box and I was not aware of it, they notified us about the money and deposited back to our account.

Miinukset: At check in the front desk young lady made us paid the room charges for the entire stay without any receipts, also asked me to pay LE 200 only in cash for early check in ( although I called ahead and she told me to come and never mentioned about the charges till after we finished check in), also mentioned that she will talk to her manager and this will be returned to us, also without any receipt!, When I asked them about it later they were wondering why and then she came on the phone and said that she took this money as a tip for housekeeping girls for cleaning our room early !!!!! Also they do not have business center or computer to finish some business back home.

Plussat: Excellent location and view

Miinukset: Tea set was old

Plussat: Room size & cleanliness Excellent quality of furniture River nile view Breakfast buffet quality Bathroom size & cleanliness

Miinukset: Almost nothing

Plussat: Staff in the restaurant was really friendly. Also beautiful view from the balcony and our room on the Nile.

Miinukset: It sounds rather sad, but this hotel what was once a 5 star luxury hotel, is now a ghost town. It's empty, dirty, run down and most of the staff completely unmotivated. Our room was really dirty, the bathroom with still some traces of the precious habitant. All furnitures rather dusty. An embarrassment to call this a 5 star hotel, not even for Egypt (I've been to 4 star hotels which were way better).

Plussat: Nature

Miinukset: The tax is insane..not even 5 star,facilities is very old,not enough staff,poor customer service,the bed was uncomfortable,don't recommend others to come here

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: We had our room changes 3 times. All 3 rooms were dirty. Dirty bedsheets, towels, hair on the floor, refilled shampoo bottle and the list goes on. This hotel is 1 star at best. The worst hotel I have stayed in.

Plussat: Stunning location on an island in the Nile. The ferryboat operators were especially courteous and helpful, but the entire staff showed dedication to accommodating guest service requests.

Miinukset: Seedy rooms and infrastructure in the main building reflected the decline in tourist visits. Could use a major cleanup and renovation.

Plussat: The boat ride from/to the hotel is the best part about the stay. The hotel is in an island so you have to take a free (covered by the hotel) 15-mins ride in the Nile and it's breathtaking! Come to the hotel itself... it's not much to be honest.

Miinukset: The toilets in the lobby and restaurant floors are not clean, at all... there are roaches crawling out of all the sewers in the ground floor bathroom.. all of them, not kidding. The breakfast buffet is really really poor compared to other hotels with THE SAME budget range. The rooms are old and the room's bathroom door didn't close properly.

Plussat: This place was a “splurge” for our typical budget travels and beyond exceeded our expectations. Great value! The staff was incredibly friendly and even let us check in much earlier than we expected. The breakfast bar was phenomenal. It is on its own island on the Nile and offers a free ferry every few minutes to get you to Aswan city.

Miinukset: We loved everything!

Plussat: I loved this hotel! Fabulous huge comfortable room with massive king sized bed; a balcony with views over the Nile; two lovely swimming pools. Really excellent value for money as well. The staff were all very helpful and attentive, especially Hamdy the housekeeping manager! The hotel is on an island so you can watch the sunrise and sunset from either side of the hotel. There's a very frequent little boat that takes you to the main town on the east bank.

Miinukset: Some of the fittings in the bathroom were a bit old and in need of repair.

Plussat: The staff was good

Miinukset: There was no wifi service

Plussat: Great view of the Nile River.

Plussat: the location is second to none,looking at so many trees and flowers with Nile views all around.Handy motorboat service to the town. Taking a leisurely motorboat trip into the area around the hotel was magic.I saw many birds and the time of day I chose to go,4pm is just perfect for photographing the area. The room had 2 balconies it also had tv fridge a large bed and a marble ensuite. This was a little tired though but anything required was seen to by housekeeping straight away. The food was good a nice varied buffet for breakfast and evening meal.A meal from room service was fairly quick and good value.

Miinukset: the gardening team starting to cut down some dead trees and saw up the branches (with a chain saw )at 8am on saturday morning.I know that radical gardening has to take place to encourage new growth but spring isn't the right time,anywhere!and 8am is very early. There was not enough staff for the restaurant service by the pool and I had words re a lack of change,later resolved.The food was good though. there was no a la carte restaurant,so wanting a simple meal one evening we took the motorboat to the town.

Plussat: Amazing hotel.. The fabulous view.. I really enjoyed my visit.. Thank you..

Plussat: Staff were very welcoming and kind.

Miinukset: I seemed to be allergic to something in the room.

Miinukset: The hotel was closed Permanently the day we were there to check in. They directed us to another one in the area with no transportation help.

Plussat: Staff was nice, setup a tour for us. Price was good.

Miinukset: Insects, had to kill 6 cockroaches during my 2 days. Bed was very uncomfortable. No Wifi in room, only in lobby, bar, and restaurant.

Plussat: 1-reseption staff espeaslly on first day was so great and helpfull thank you. 2- location

Miinukset: 1-C.cooling(Ac) not working well even on reception 2- Rooms very old need rehabilitation. 3-You will find dust every where and i was surprised when found on reception table. 4-Some buffet dishes not clean. 5-worker sound very loud. 6-Bathrooms was not clean.

Plussat: It seems like the hotel was nice years ago but now it needs improvement It has a nice swimming pool

Miinukset: Old building

Plussat: breakfast

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Staff are very nice, they really helped me!

Miinukset: Wifi is not available in rooms.

Plussat: Lovely attentive service from the wait staff at the pool and dinner. Location handy for the Nubian museum.

Miinukset: Lock on balcony door was broken and the room was quite tired

Plussat: Good location, near to train station. Staffs are very nice and willing to help. One of the staff even help me to find my phone. We have to checkout at 4 am for Abu Simbel Trip, staff packed a breakfast for us.

Miinukset: Sometimes lift is not working. We have to use stairs to level 3.

Plussat: Good location helpful staff

Miinukset: Bad quality wifi.... In the room we could not get internet! Only at the reception it was possible! Despite the efforts of the staff the problem was not solved for as long as we stayed there...

Plussat: Nice rooms for the price and the best value in th city side. Location is fantastic. Good koshary underneath. Very comfy stay

Miinukset: Still has pool and rooftop advertised but they aren’t in use. It was somewhat understandable though because the hotel wasn’t busy. But I would have enjoyed the rooftop being clean and open

Plussat: near to the train station and to the market

Miinukset: over all unclean discmfort place

Plussat: As we arrived by train, the proximity to the train station was a great advantage for us. At arrival we were asked if we would like to book a trip to Abu Simbel, which was great as we planned so and had no idea where to get a transfer. We started early in the morning and so we got a respectable lunch box for our breakfast. The staff was nice and helpful although …

Miinukset: … the communication was complicated as seemingly no one spoke English The breakfast in the hotel was very basic: you get three slices of cheese, a small portion of jam and some feta cheese. You could also take some warm, stale brown beans, mashed potatoes (presumably) and eggs smelling of sulfur.

Plussat: The staff is very kind, they offer tour to Abu Simbel for good prices, and they even can help you to get a ticket for a travel train.

Plussat: Excellent hospitality. We were given additional 4 hours for check out. We planned to goto abu simbel trip by morning 4 am, To our surprise, we had our breakfast box ready at 4 am to be taken with us.

Plussat: The hotel is right in front of the train station so it's very accessible... and it's very affordable too. Good for a work stay where you just want to go sleep at night.

Plussat: The location was so close to the station, supermarkets

Miinukset: The hotel is so expensive compare to the quality they offer.

Plussat: They gave me free bottle of water because I was from booking and prepared a breakfast box for me.Really kind in the reception

Miinukset: Really noisy.Dirty bathroom ,no towel I borrowed from the first room which I changed because window was broken and couldn't close.Old building and decoration . Neighborhood not for tourists.The Entrance look awful.No curtain in bathroom.Dirty floor.Smelly sheets.

Plussat: Owner was very kind, always ready to help whether it's giving the information you need about anything, booking tours without hassling or solving a problem in your room. He'll make sure your stay is comfortabel for you. The location is great, and the view of your room or the roof terras is a-ma-zing! It's near the ferry boat that brings you in 2mins or something to elephantine island. A lot of stores and restaurants around when you walk outside the hotel

Miinukset: I booked this hotel because it was near the ferry, but especially because they had jacuzzis and beds on the rooftop to relaxe, since i was exhausted after 2rough weeks and really needed a day to just relaxe. Arriving at the rooftop I discovered a mess of wooden dirty stuff, there were no beds and the jacuzzis were very dirty and not in use. You couldn't even walk there. The other side of the rooftop was good. There were seats and tables where you could enjoy the view over the Nile.

Plussat: Good bed with nice mattress. Fridge was also good and not noisy though it smelled awful. Air conditioner good but noisy.

Miinukset: Slow staff, kind of rude too. Asked me to pay for my whole stay two days before my checkout and refused to give me any kind of receipt. Also kept our passports for almost a day (which is illegal btw) because they needed to take a copy of them, something that you can do in one minute like any other hotel. On top of that they reported to booking.com that i did not show up, which is a lie and most probably a scam attempt. The restaurant is awful and the food the worse i ever had at a hotel. Bathroom doorknob almost falling apart and broken.

Plussat: the location was great. the view from the hotel terrace was great.

Miinukset: the music was loud sometime late at night. wifi was a pain . only worked on the lobby and was extremely slow.

Plussat: The room was big enough. It was very comfortable.and clean. It had a great view

Miinukset: The WiFi didn't work

Plussat: location is acceptable. others are not that gd.

Miinukset: only the location is acceptable.

Plussat: Nice roof top Beautiful room view Kind staff

Plussat: The location of the hotel is very good as it faces the river. The rooms were above average and were comfortable. It's a budget hotel and is complete value for money according to the price. I would like to specially thank the owner Mr. Mena Safawat for his wonderful hospitality. He provided us with amazingly good tour. At an extremely cheap cost of only 200$ he provided us with a Luxurious Toyota Hiace on private basis with an English Speaking driver for 3 days, covering a total distance of around 800km covering Abu Simbel, Luxor and many destinations on route. This was way cheaper than any other travel company and was 110% reliable.

Miinukset: There is a bar that is open all night but the restaurant closes very soon. Inform the Hotel staff few hours prior if you want to have dinner.

Plussat: The rooms were ok with great views. The staff were friendly and helped book our trip to Abu Simble and helped with taxi. The driver Nas who took us didn't speak English but was a great driver and pleasant.

Miinukset: The restaurant wasn't really working and we only got water, bread, spreads, juice and chippies for breke. The air conditioning sounded like a plane on take off.

Plussat: Location and cost.

Miinukset: No towels provided. Bathroom and room extremely basic. Didn't look like bedding was fresh.

Plussat: location ,transportation was easy,the receptionist was friendly and helpful

Miinukset: elevator’s smell, breakfast was poor

Plussat: Just control on hotels.

Miinukset: They are always ask taxes after booking on your web. Not Happy to booking again of your booking web. Always disappointed with your service.

Plussat: The rooftop was really good to enjoy the nile view day and night. Good location if you go train station.

Miinukset: Bed and blankets were old. A little bit noisy at night.

Plussat: i

Miinukset: We ordered tour to absinael. Hotel staff tried to cheat us. tour fee should be 200egypt pondo but they offer us 30 dollar for each person. Also they said they will use private buss for 8person, however there are around 15person. To make matters worse, they were late more than 90 minutes. This hotel is terrible so i reccomend you not to book. moreover, the electricity has stopped 4 times for each night.

Plussat: The Nile view room with a big terrace

Miinukset: Found a bug,

Plussat: The furnishings cleanliness, staff curtesy and location.

Miinukset: The food, but then it's the same type all over. Too much Egyptian style and no European style.

Plussat: The hosts speak english very poorly, but really tried to make the best of it. Welcome drinks were nice. We checked in 1.5 hour early, wich was not charged. They offer options for day-trips around Aswan, although the prices are debateable.

Miinukset: We booked a room for two persons with two seperate beds and Nile view. We paid in advance during booking. Now we've learned a lesson. We were very tired by arrival otherwise we would have changed hotel. Poor hygiene, dirty mirrors (to the point we cleaned it ourselves), dusty television, refrigerator not clean and not in function when we checked in. Somebody had left a meal (I hope) in a container on the closet, don't want to know what it contained. No minibar or glasses/cups in room, no sitting area (except for two worn out chairs on balcony, not ideal in 43 degrees Celsius). Airco is loud, but worked fine. Taking a shower is at risk, since the electricity cable from the boiler can get wet. We decided to turn off the boiler during shower and be careful. There was no daily cleaning, no fresh towels or bed-linen. We had to ask for more supplies after two nights. We did not use the swimmingpool for obvious reasons. Breakfast for foreigners is very minimal: prepared in advance and therefore veggies, cheese and yoghurts are not fresh. Bread is ok, cups and glasses not clean... After finishing the last breakfast on day four, we found out fellow Egyptians do get a traditional egyptian breakfast. At the reception they wanted us to sign a creditcard confirmation, which had nothing to do with our booking (as said we already paid in advance). The hosts speak english very poorly, so we're not sure whether the understood what we were saying. Aswan has a lot to offer, but to fully enjoy it you should book a more comfortable room.

Plussat: The central location permitting to visit most sights by walking. A helpful staff that organized my visit to Abu Simbel efficiently for a reasonable price but probably not the cheapest either.

Miinukset: The AC was extremely noisy. Like said by other travelers, the pool isn't clean as there is no filtering unit installed. The breakfast was not great, but that seems to be the case in most budget hotel in Egypt.

Plussat: Location, and cleanliness were great and staff was super friendly

Miinukset: I didn't like that I couldn't pay throw booking or using my Visa card, had to pay cash

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Rooms very basic

Plussat: Location is great, 2 minutes walk from de Nile shore. Some shops, banks and places to eat very close. Is not a luxury hotel, but for the price it’s an excellent option. It’s was clean, it had warm water and air conditioning. Personnel is so friendly and helpful. They can help with tours to Abu Simbel and transport to Luxor via Nile valley (stoping Kom Ompo and Edfu). I would definitely go back or recommend to stay if travelling with a budget or practical way (not for a honey moon stay).

Miinukset: .

Plussat: Nice, friendly little hotel. Helpful friendly staff but sometime language is a problem. Not often though. Location is good, close to Elephantine Island ferry and Aswan Moon restaurant. There is also a coffee shop at the top end of the lane on the left.

Miinukset: We didn't try the pool on the roof, but swimmers may be disappointed.

Miinukset: This place should be call a motel. Smelly dirty and dusty room. The pillows are stinky, bed sheets and covers are old . Looking out of the window, sores in eyes to see trush all over on the roof top down below in the neighborhood resident.

Plussat: The hotel was very handy to the bazaar, and access to getting where we needed to go. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The neighborhood is very run down, the hotel pool is nothing like it’s pictured. It is a place to get wet if needed but there is no ambience and you can’t see anything sitting in the lounges which are very old. Lots of junk around. It is not worthwhile to pay extra for Riverview,
