Hotel berhampiran Monastery of Simeon, Aswan

The hotel staff is very accommodating to all of your stay needs. Every has a smile and makes you feel welcomed everyday. The hotel grounds is clean, well kept and many walking paths with beautiful foliage. The food is excellent and the rooms have spectacular views of the Nile River and the city of Aswan.

I arrived from Luxor after staying at the Luxor Pyramisa Hotel and I have to say this place is sooooo much better!! Not just the location or the size of this place but the most important thing was that all members of staff are really friendly, welcoming and always smiling, greeting you when you walk past. A few members stood out very well to me, who are Carlos & Christine from guest relations, who are really friendly and made sure that I had everything I needed and my stay was pleasant. They also sent a complimentary drink to the pool when they saw i was taking a swim. I think these guys definitely deserve a reward!! Mostafa and Ahmed from the taxi/souvenir shop booked a few taxis with them and also an excursion to the Nubial village. Good prices and the taxi were always on time and waiting for me. Finally, I can't forget Faisal, the lifeguard/swimming pool guy. Very friendly, and as soon as he knew I couldn't swim that well, I decided to give me a couple of hours of lessons! a shame. I only went to the pool once on my last day at the hotel. But in general all staff are great but these guys are the ones who I spoke with on a daily basis while staying at the hotel. The hotel, in general, is kept in immaculate condition. The gardens are nice and green and perfect for an evening walk. It's on an island, so no one to haggle you outside and the crossing is free, runs 24hrs, every 20/30mins. Rooms are a bit old but you have to remember we are not in New York or London and in fact very south of the country where its remote and for the price its a good deal!! Views are good, and sunset and sunrise while crossing on the boat to mainland is a view for sure!! I had half board so that was breakfast and dinner on a buffet service. Good selection of hot and cold food at both times. Can't say anything bad. Drinks are extra and the fresh juices are great! Will definitely be staying here again for a longer time when I visit next time!!

Magical property in magical land. Extremely professional and accommodating staff and service. The ground floor spa equally impressive where I enjoyed full body massage on consecutive days. One small issue with thermostat was dealt with promptly and to full satisfaction. I don’t believe you can improve upon The Old Cataract in any stay in Aswan..

1, location: very good. Not far away from train station (1km) and 400m from KFC (ferry point). 2, Room a bit old 3, no WiFi 4, Breakfast is good. 5, The reception has nearly no clue about the Abu Simbel tour. They will probably offer you private tour but you do have other choice. Try going to Hotel Philae (400m from Hotel Obelisk) and ask the tour there.

The Basma Hotel Aswan is a mid-range hotel that offers a comfortable and convenient stay in Aswan. The location of the hotel is ok, with easy access to the city's main attractions and the Nile River. The staff are friendly and helpful, always willing to provide assistance and recommendations for things to do in the area. The rooms at the Basma Hotel Aswan are decent with comfortable beds. However, the rooms are a bit dated and could use some modernization. The bathroom facilities are functional but could also benefit from some updates. The hotel offers basic dining options, including a buffet breakfast that is decent but not particularly outstanding. The rooftop restaurant is a highlight of the hotel, offering stunning views of the city and the Nile River. However, the food quality and selection could be improved. The hotel has a lovely swimming pool and a rooftop terrace where guests can relax and enjoy the views. Overall, the Basma Hotel Aswan offers a comfortable and convenient stay in Aswan, with a friendly staff and good amenities. While some areas could use improvement, the hotel is a decent choice for travelers who are looking for a mid-range option in the area.

This hotel was definitely a step up from Pyramisa Isis Island, which was the worst place I have ever stayed in my life. The room was comfortable enough, the price was good, and there is a decent pool and a fabulous view of the Aswan Corniche. It was walking distance to the Nubian Museum and to the local McDonalds. As a tourist, you will get harassed constantly by the vendors as you walk, and it is very annoying. The food was not very good, but we found enough to eat. The shower was very weird and would go from unbelievably hot to cold. The worst part was that we were cheated by one of the male receptionists for a purchase at the Italian coffee shop in the lobby. He charged us 6 USD when the cost should have been under a dollar. Not a big deal for us to be charged 6 dollars for decent coffee, but it was the fact that he deliberately cheated us that really bothered me. I didn't throw a fit and let it go, and we just went to breakfast at McDonalds after that experience. The hotel lost money for that reason, as we certainly would have purchased many cups and coffee and pastries from them. Their loss. We also felt that one of their staff members was trying to scam us by asking (insisting) for change for a $20 US bill. The way he acted with us was very suspicious.

This hotel is one of those ”5-star hotels” in the city, and it offers nice views of the Nile River, and on top of that, they also own the other side of thstreet through an underground passageway. That was actually interesting to see. The pool was pretty cold and a welcome relief for the sweltering heat during our stay in Aswan, in the mid-40s! The staff helped us assist in our luggage and did not ask for tips afterwards. Finally! Professionalism right there! The breakfast was of great quality and also offers a nice view of the river. The breakfast room has an outdoor balcony seating if you want that fresh Sahara air! One downside though was that the washroom was pretty dated and you can tell by how old the door was due to repeated exposure from humidity. Also, their spa is not free unlike my hotel in Cairo. The staff were initially excited that we went there to have fun, she even turned on the music to set the mood, only to find out that the service was paid and we all rushed out of there. Haha that was funny!

The choice of accommodation in Aswan was varied, but I wanted to find something special. And it was during my research that the Nubian Palace, in Nubian Village, came up. How wonderful it was to arrive at the hotel, do the check-in while drinking a welcome hibiscus juice, and then find a wonderful room Nubian style. The bedroom, with 2 super comfortable single beds, also had a desk, chair and closet. Outside the bedroom, but within the area corresponding to the bedroom, in a small patio also with a table and chairs, was the private bathroom with shower. On the first morning, because I had a trip to Abu Simbel that started at dawn, the hotel prepared some breakfast boxes that were very useful. Furthermore, all the meals (open air) I had there were very good and in large quantity. Last but not least… The entire hotel staff was extremely friendly and efficient. They contributed to making this experience at the Nubian Palace a very successful one, which means that I definitely want to return there again in the future.

酒店位置有點偏，一些問題在之前研究過評價，所以有了心理準備，比如沒有拖鞋，電吹風插座不適配，房間分散，卧室沒有電話，聯繫服務員不方便吃早飯的地方離房間遠要等車接送等。但是所有的不滿都因為度假村裡和早餐廳的景色抹去了。真心推薦多留一些時間給早餐，清晨坐在清風微拂的尼羅河邊真是太舒服了。

It's a decent new hotel with clean facilities, and quite hotel. The staff are very polite, smiling and very helpful, I thank the reception team for everything, really all of you were wonderful. There is a hotel car and sometimes a mini bus that transported us to and from the hotel and its available at all times. I recommended this hotel, and will visit it again. Thank you again
