Hotel Aswan dengan Sarapan

The best surprise of my trip to Aswan was choosing this hotel. I honestly can’t recommend it enough! The room was covered in beautiful, locally inspired murals, and I loved the atmosphere as soon as I walked in. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into every detail, from the natural lighting to the decorations and everyday items in the room. Everything works together beautifully, and it feels completely different from a generic chain hotel. It has such a relaxed, welcoming, home-away-from-home feel. The owner is incredibly kind, reliable, and helpful, and he helped arrange everything from meals to transportation. During my trip to Abu Simbel, whenever I had a question or ran into an issue, he responded very quickly through the app and always offered practical solutions, which made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. The food at the hotel was also delicious and really suited my taste. Overall, my stay exceeded all expectations. I felt comfortable, well looked after, and completely at ease. If you’re visiting Aswan, you really can’t go wrong with this place!

Hemos estado tan bien en este hotel en nuestra primera estancia que no dudamos en volver. La calidad del servicio, la comodidad de las instalaciones y la atención al detalle nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Sin duda, repetiremos siempre que podamos, ya que es un lugar que nos ha dejado una experiencia muy positiva. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

世界上最好的酒店之一，埃及最好的酒店沒有之一。老瀑布給了我們在埃及最好的旅行體驗： 1. 首先是完美的尼羅河風景，清晨在陽台上聽着鳥叫，看着陽光一點點灑在尼羅河和對面的估計上，喝着茶，真是感歎，人生最美好的生活不過如此。哈哈。房間夠大，有沙發客廳和衣帽間。也很乾凈衞生。 2. 我們特意安排了2月14號情人節，和2月15號我生日這天在老瀑布度過。酒店真的很用心，送了生日蛋糕，蛋糕很好吃。開心😄 3. 酒店的Spa棒極了，我們做了45分鐘的scrab和按摩30分鐘的組合，推薦，如果時間允許可以選擇60分鐘的按摩。舒服極了，世界上最好的Spa之一。一定要提前預約哦。 4. 1902餐廳不接待12歲以下的小盆友，正好我們也沒帶正裝。不過早餐棒極了，也可以體驗1902餐廳厚重的歷史感。 5. 洗衣服務很划算，而且洗的很乾凈都給熨燙了，我們洗了5、6件衣服10幾美金，很划算。 強烈建議，在老瀑布住的兩天不要安排行程，因為酒店裡的體驗很多，泳池很棒有加熱，spa也很好，4點有room tour 十幾分鍾，參觀丘吉爾和阿加莎的套房。晚上在酒店做帆船有點貴，但是省時間。酒店的治安也很好，門口有嚴格的安檢。衹是落日時候拍照打卡的網紅比較多。不過總體很安全，衞生。 6. 員工也很友善、幫忙。 唯一遺憾的就是我們衹住了2晚，時間太快了。要是能多住2晚就更好了。

食物：提供當地食物，價格公允，味道不差👍 服務：服務不錯，部分工作人員會英語，溝通無障礙；來回一次坐船免費，住店期間出去坐船的話來回200磅，去菲萊神廟來回400磅（好像是因為神廟碼頭要收取一些費用）；我們問酒店預訂了車輛去阿布辛貝神廟，4100埃鎊，略貴但是好像是正規公司提供的服務，駕駛員人很好👍 環境：酒店正對菲萊神廟，從碼頭坐船到達酒店所在的島，大約需要十分鐘，尼羅河的景色很美：房間裏會有一些壁虎出沒哈哈哈，但是上廁所和洗澡沒有問題，比想象中的衞生條件要好一些。 總體來説值得推薦，沒有wifi，但是是有趣的自然體驗。

聽説阿斯旺較為繁華的是尼羅河東岸，但這是一家在尼羅河西岸努比亞村裡的一家小旅館，如果有包車的話可以住在村子裏感受一下努比亞文化（進村有一段路在修，不好走晚上很黑），清晨出門就能看到尼羅河日出，很安靜，小村子也很美。服務特別好，早上出發的早會打包早餐（一些麪包酸奶盒裝果汁），有獨立衞浴，衹是光線比較昏暗，降低期待，在埃及是很正常且不錯的條件，至少乾淨，洗澡水熱，和衣而睡一晚問題不大。

酒店就在尼羅河邊，很大一片全是他家，有點類似於比較有特色的民宿，是努比亞的風格，房間裏有很多特色的裝飾。 酒店位置比較郊外，周邊荒無人煙很偏僻，所以也很安靜。從開羅飛阿斯旺我們預約的酒店接機結果收了55刀，大概開車四十多分鐘，感覺被坑了，其實可以直接出機場叫車，沒有網上説的那麼亂。 酒店的早餐還不錯，這個煎蛋非常好吃，有一位服務員，是努比亞人，對我特別nice，會主動幫我端東西，提醒我注意台階，是埃及之旅我感覺到最真誠友好的服務，可惜忘了問他名字，走的時候想找他給小費也沒找到。

Pros The hotel facilities were absolutely beautiful with an amazing view. Traditional Nubian style house. Every corner makes you want to capture the space. We had a rocky start but the hotel staff tried to redeem themselves. We lost an apple watch which the hotel helped us get back ASAP before we reached Luxor. We are grateful for this. Cons Awful communication and hospitality. We were the only guests in the entire resort because of low season but still received shitty service. The hotel is in a secluded place making it difficult to reach.It’s on top of a mountain on a dusty rocky road. The hotel offers a tuktuk. We did our research prior and contacted the hotel to arrange getting to the hotel from the village and check in since we knew we’d land in the AMs. We were ignored. We arrived at the village meeting point at 1:45 but only ended up getting to our rooms around 3:50am because reaching the hotel via call and WhatsApp was so difficult. The staff had no sense of urgency. We were frustrated and anxious in this wellness resort. Our taxi driver refused to take us up the mountain and the tuktuk refused to take us because of our many bags (which is understandable). I’m very disappointed in the service and I know the staff has lots of potential to improve on their service delivery. The hotel needs to be more cognisant of their customer service and guests hospitality. Staying here was stressful. Recommended if you want aesthetic vibes,a beautiful picturesque hotel with good breakfast. Don’t recommend if you prioritise great guest services, comfortability and peace.

We had an absolutely AMAZING TIME! From our airport pick up (which I recommend). Even though it was 2am we were still greeted with fantastic Hibiscus tea from Edres he was fantastic. We were shown around even at that time. In the morning we asked for a call to see the sunrise and that was fantastic as well. In the morning we had a great typical breakfast and then a fantastic tour as well. Rowan and Aya also were wonderful. I would recommend this place to see the true Aswan and tour the Nubian Village. Also, the lunch was fantastic as well. Next time we want to spend more time. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Our stay at Benben was a bit of a mixed one. If you are someone who has a lot of time on your hands and you want to take photos for instagram and do not care about water supply/shower issue, this may be the right place for you. On the other hand, if you have travel schedule planned and not too flexible with time (e.g., Abu Simbel day trip) and care about sleep quality, this is not the place for you. We stayed here for 2 nights, on our first day, we arrived around 3pm with sweats and heat exhaustion from our Philae temple visit. After being sent to our room, we realised the water wasn’t working. Hotel told us to wait as they had some water supply issue, after waiting for 5 hours, we called again and were told they are still fixing it and could not tell us an ETA on the fix. With frustration and massive migraine from heat exhaustion and no clear ETA, I figured I had to sleep with sweats and anger. The 2nd issue we encountered was the ferry to the dock. The hotel is on and island which means every time we want to go in and out, we would need to contact the hotel to arrange for the boat for transfer). On the day we need to leave, we were waiting on the boat with a Danish couple but we could not depart after waiting for 20 mins (post the initial agreed departure time). Even though the other couple made a complaint to the hotel staff, they did not care or give a clear answer on when we can leave. Another 20 mins later, we we realised we were waiting for another couple to come onboard (and confirmed with them that they were 20 mins late to their original appointment). At this point, we were already very late to meet our own driver and start our 8 hours trip to Luxor. Most hotel staff could not speak English, the only ones we can communicate to was Nirvana (from front counter) and the restaurant manager. The rest of the staff were not well trained to do basic communication. So… If you have time, ok to deal with the above potential issues (oh…and lots of stairs!), go ahead and you will enjoy the amazing views from the hotel.

I stayed at Marhaba Hotel Aswan and found the location to be its best feature. Situated near the Nile, it offers easy access to key attractions and beautiful views. However, the facilities were terrible and in urgent need of improvement. The rooms felt outdated, with worn-out furniture and poor maintenance. Cleanliness was lacking, and the bathroom conditions were disappointing. The air conditioning barely worked, making the stay uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi was unreliable, and overall, the hotel didn’t meet basic expectations for comfort. With some serious renovations and better management, it could be a decent option, but in its current state, I wouldn’t recommend it. Definitely not worth the price.
