Plussat: It was wonderful stay. Every thing was perfect.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent.

Plussat: The staff are very friendly and helpful. The pools are great and there are nice views from the panorama restaurant.

Miinukset: I only stayed at this hotel because the Sofitel was fully booked. The building and furnishings are ugly and outdated. It claims to be a 5-star hotel but isn’t. 5-star hotels do not provide paper napkins at breakfast. The breakfast buffet was sub-standard. The bar staff are incapable of making even the simplest cocktails: every cocktail we tried tasted nothing like it should have. The WiFi was very slow and sometimes didn’t work at all. Our shower was either boiling hot and with no pressure or freezing cold and with high pressure - nothing in between. The gym is a joke. There are so many cardio machines that there’s no room left for the weights: no bench press, no barbells and many of the dumbell wights are missing.

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: Excellent everything! and with special thanks to the manager on duty Mr. Faroud he was so friendly and excellent, gave us strong support, we will surely come and stay again!

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Simplicity of check-in procedure

Miinukset: Ferry supposed to run 24/7 however had to call the hotel to send one boat (early check-out) from mobile, because no instruction were provided how to reach anyone when you are at the landing station (hotel side) No robes and slippers provided in junior suite Different type of light bulbs by the bed, not the same strength on both sides Sink seems to have draining issue

Plussat: Everything is perfect if the WiFi works better

Miinukset: WiFi network is always very weak

Plussat: everything Aswan itself, nature, staff, food, the room, the view..

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Khaled and his staff are very friendly and the place, rooms are clean I like the place

Plussat: The place itself was beautiful with a stellar view. The food was delicious. Most importantly, our host Khaled, was the most sincere and helpful person ever. He arranged Abu Simbel tour for us as well as made sure we went to the Kalabsha Temple with his car. He also dropped us to the train station himself and had his cousin pick us from the airport. Everyone else at the property is also very friendly.It felt like home and we would definitely go back again!

Plussat: Khaled who is owner of the guest house is main man. His attention to customers is everything. He doesn't have all ultra modern gadgets in hand but his attitude to help you makes all the difference. He treats his guests more like a family member.

Miinukset: Internet connection is poor. But tell you what I am glad I didn't have that to really bother about constantly updating folks back home. Enjoyed peace and serenity of a quaint village . Sitting on terrace day and night and watching Nile flow was amazing experience.

Plussat: My husband and I spent a vivid vacation at Eka Dolli guest house, one should say that this was real hospitality with kind and helpful staff Ibrahim and Tallat, in particular, were extremely nice and continued working all the time to guarantee that we have the best vacation. Khalid the owner is an honest and kind person with a wide smile. The food is beyond delicious thanks to the great Chef ♥ Rooms are clean with private bathrooms and AC . 4 days in heaven and we will be coming back next year! Thanks ♥ p.s this was my second visit to Eka Dolli and we are coming for a third longer visit:D

Plussat: This is a fabulous guesthouse. Yes, it is away from the centre of Aswan, but that is exactly what I wanted. Khaled is the perfect host, and I felt very welcome, especially as I was travelling solo. Khaled also provided transportation when need as well as arranging my tour to Abu Simbel. I highly recommend a stay at Ekadolli in the Gharb Soheil Nubian Village. It is peaceful, cultural and food is amazing. Great value for money.

Plussat: The room was fine. It was clean, had a Balcony with Nile river views.

Miinukset: The internet wasn't very good. Only one person at the reception desk, with a large aeroplane crew checking in, it took a long time to check in.

Plussat: Bathroom is nice and clean. bed is comfortable

Miinukset: Be Ware of the price. When I booked this hotel from booking.com , I was given a price, which I thought a little bit high, but acceptable. When I arrived at hotel, I was told that price was for Egyptian only. As a foreigner, I have to pay $35 more, which is a rip-off.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Very old and dirty. I cant believe howe 5 stars?

Plussat: exceptional view from the room , direct view for the Nile river , rooms are clean and big enough for 3 adults

Miinukset: nothing

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: 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: You really can't beat the location. The hotel is on an island so views of the Nile on both sides - sunset and sunrise! The ferry boat is free and runs frequently so no problem being on an island at all. Also easy to hire a boat or felluca from the pier at the hotel.

Miinukset: Wifi was off and on and never great when it was on. Hard to control the temperature of water in the shower - other reviews complained they only had cold water, after a minute my problem was really hot water that was hard to control (but better than cold :)) The food is not good at all! Breakfast is free so just make the most of it - only one of the restaurants was open, a buffet of sorts - desserts good, salad good, but the hot items were unpalatable

Plussat: Atmosphere, service and view fron sunset room.

Miinukset: Air cond didn't work. Fridge hot, not working when out of room, due to power saving system. Shower not up to standard

Plussat: Very Bad Hotel

Miinukset: 1- Too late for check-in, I reached 3:0 pm as they mentioned and stayed about 3 hours in reception waiting to prepare my room. 2- Room is very dirty, while I was booking the best room and rate they had. 3- Furneture is very loose and broken, once open anything, it’s fall down. 4- Bathroom is dirty and it’s ceiling and walls are not cleaned at all. 5- Unorganized staff. 6- They have a big problem hosting the groups and they can’t manage. 7- Very slow action and response.

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: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Breakfast

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: The terrace is beautiful, truly. Sitting out on the terrace in the morning enjoying an expansive lunch and some tea is wonderful. The staff are very attentive also, they are doing their absolute best. They are very kind and are the heart and soul of this place. The views over the Nile river from all over the hotel are wonderful, really you could just sit and contemplate for hours. It is a very impressive location. It is walking distance to a number of sites in Aswan - right opposite the Nubia Museum (always worth a visit), close to the Old Cataract Hotel (for tea in the afternoon) and to the Korniche (for felucca rides on the Nile). Go out and explore, you won't be disappointed. Aswan is one of the best places in Egypt.

Miinukset: WiFi. Single biggest issue is the lack of WiFi in the rooms. I know this is a perennial problem in Egypt (or at least I have experienced). The Hotel is a bit too tired and old to be considered a luxury hotel. All of the facilities are well maintained by the staff, however the facilities themselves have not been updated in decades. This hotel very much has the feel of faded glory - a place that when built in the 1970s was that absolute typification of luxury. The years since then have not seen the Hotel evolve in step with the times. In many ways it is an interesting cultural artifact! Also be aware that the prices they charge at the hotel for things like food and drink are far more expensive than you can get in Aswan town.

Plussat: The Location

Miinukset: 1. Staff are not helpful at all 2. Well in the first morning; I couldn’t have a shower because there was no Hot water!!! 3. I booked a triple room, and it supposed to have three shower towels; but we found only two, we asked for the third, room services promised to get it in 5 minutes, and we didn’t have it until we left the hotel 4. We asked for a new batteries for the TV remote control unit; I called the Receiption; they said “in 5 minutes you’ll get new one” and we didn’t get it until we left the hotel 5. I asked for an invoice since the moment I reached the hotel and paid for the rooms, they didn’t made it, and I had to wait extra time (long time) at the check out because they didn’t do it.

Plussat: Breakfast Very Good location Very Good

Miinukset: need more experience staff in front Disk

Plussat: Location Room

Miinukset: Service

Plussat: We stayed in the Basma for two days and found it okay. First of, the location. Aswan is a fairly small city and while the Basma is walking distance from the Nubian museum, it's also located on the top of a hillock and makes for a decent walk to the Corniche and docks. We used to book a Careem for 15-20 EGP for each side to get to the city. The view from the hotel is excellent! They packed us an excellent breakfast pack for our trip. You can simply request one in case you have an early morning flight/trip to Abu Simbel and they're happy to help you out! The staff is super courteous and happy to help you out.

Miinukset: Early check-in is not an possibility, they will give you the room at 2 only and not even 15 minutes earlier.(Again a problem I faced- despite calling up earlier and requesting since we had been awake since 2am and had been travelling non-stop, we did not get our rooms earlier and had to sit in the reception area for half an hour) The hotel is clean but somehow lacking in amenities- towels were missing, in one of the rooms- they had provided a hot water kettle but no tea/coffee satchels, our shower gel's etc were not refilled on the second day etc. The Wifi is only accessible in the lobby.

Plussat: Excellent view, too good The location and the reception persons r too helpful

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: The hotel is great. The staff is really helpful, the rooms are clean, and it's just a really nice atmosphere. It's a great place to be. And the location just on Elephantine Island is also great: a calm part of town all of a sudden :). Breakfast was amazing. First of all on the beautiful rooftop terrace. But the amount of (different styles of) food that we got was amazing. They really know how to cook. Definitely recommend this place!

Plussat: The location The cleanliness

Miinukset: Breakfast time There was no water early in the morning. Took time to solve the problem. The missing light bulbs The lift needs maintenance. WiFi not functioning TV sets are poor quality.

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 staff are absolutely lovely and helpful

Miinukset: Well most of the reviews are right with what they say

Plussat: Location very convenient near train station

Miinukset: Rooftop and pool are out of order. Room was never cleaned. Towels were never changed. Elevator doesn't work well. Employees act strangely toward guests

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

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

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: 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: 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: location

Miinukset: not clean, furnitures outdated, busted lamp, restroom is leaking. the water flows on the floor. they need to fix the bathroom fixtures.

Plussat: breakfast was good and the hotel is directly at the corniche. Stuff was very friendly and helpful especially Peter at the reception.

Miinukset: please more sockets in the rooms. tourists have to charge handys kameras ebooks....... and one socket next to the bed would be good

Plussat: The amazing staff and the location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The property was close to the train station.

Miinukset: The rooms are in a state of disrepair yet the price of room is high compared with Egyptian standards. Bathrooms are mouldy and old. Flat sheets are used on the bed with no mattress protector meaning the mattress is regularly exposed. Staff are only helpful if they can sell you tours (at inflated prices)

Plussat: We had a huge, comfortable room. Staff were friendly. Great location by the train station, ferry to the West Bank and souk.

Miinukset: No WiFi (it exists n theory but it’s too slow to even browse email), very expensive for a 3 star hotel, horribly designed bathroom, hard to get hot water

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 hotel is in a good location, the room was nice enough and I thought the food and service at the restaurant was surprisingly excellent. (The best Egyptian lentil soup I'd had the entire trip!) The manager was fantastic and was extremely helpful in arranging day trips and a Nile River cruise. (I'm sorry I can't remember his name!) After leaving the hotel he'd checked in with me a few times to make sure that all was well on the Nile cruise as well as my arrival in Luxor, which was nice.

Miinukset: The rooms are pretty noisy. I'd looked at one with a Nile view and there was a lot of street noise. I'd chosen another on the 2nd floor but I could hear the motor (a kind of roll and crash noise) from what I think was the elevator throughout the night. When I but on the AC, the noise from that drowned it out though. My shower was really powerful but came out boiling hot-unreal. It cooled down but its something to check on.

Plussat: Great location, felt safe and clean, people are friendly and helped us with a tour to Abu Simbel for a good price.

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

Miinukset: The WiFi didn't work

Plussat: Staff was very helpful and courteous

Miinukset: Electric Kettle to be provided Alley leading to the hotel was not up to the standard.

Miinukset: Wi fi so bad Ther is 10$ extra when you book for one night

Plussat: Great location in a no frills cheap hotel that has the basics of what you need: bathroom - clean sheets, warm blankets, good internet, great location and friendly staff who try to work with you even if their English isn't great and neither is your Arabic.

Miinukset: Bathrooms needed work. Dirty dirty walls. Shower curtain hanging by a few broken hooks. Toilets and sinks, etc. were clean, but everything is in desperate need of refurbishing. But then again, times are tough for the Egyptian tourism.

Plussat: 1- We spend a complete day without internet due to a problem & they not able to fix it. 2- Water has been disappeared from 9 pm till 6 am morning (Only for one night)

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Outside the location, the rest is rubbish, all very dirty and disgusting. Too expensive for what you offer, don't trust the pictures.

Miinukset: It is expensive. The whole building is old. Small room. The receptionist was not good at English.

Plussat: Basic budget hotel with a good location and a friendly staff who will try to help you out when possible.

Miinukset: The whole place needs a freshening. Times, though, are tough for Egyptian tourism. Nonetheless, it doesn't cost that much to clean bathroom walls and get new hooks for your shower curtains.
