We really enjoyed the extremely friendly attitude of the staff, wonderful Nile view, and very worthy value for money paid. The hotel has just the ideal location since it is located first view by the Nile as well as at the center of Aswan where you can experience the authenticity of the Pharaonic history. Its advantage is that it's at... More

This hotel was really lovely, the small details made such a difference, from tea kettles in the rooms to the service with a small, our stay in Aswan was wonderful and the hospitality in this small and very nice hotel definitely contributed to that. More

This hotel was easy to overlook if you were passing by in a car, but it is located right on the main road across from the Nile among many shops and banks. It is a nice clean hotel, with a good breakfast, decent amount of room, especially in the triple room and the hotel staff do a wonderful job of... More

Arguably one of the best hotels we stayed in on our trip to Egypt. Clean and very friendly staff. The difference was the personal attention given be Hanan. Our rooms were on the 2nd floor. A little noisy if you open the balcony door as the hotel is right on the main street, however not so much of a bother.... More

Stayed here during our intrepid trip for two nights. We received a very nice welcome from the owner, including some hibiscus tea, and an introduction to the hotel and its facilities. The rooms were bright, clean and comfortable, with absolutely beautiful views right out over the Nile. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and really made the stay... More

This hotel was a beautiful place to stay, looking out over the Nile and the main street of Aswan. The breakfast buffet was really good, and would be a $20 US breakfast, but is much cheaper. My girlfriend and I stayed there two nights, as she had a bout of Cairo belly. We were lucky that she chose there to... More

My husband and I stayed at the Philae Hotel for one night in early December; the hotel was very quiet, clean and the hotel staff and management were friendly and did their absolute best to make our stay a great one. Would definitely return :-) More

If you cannot afford the Sofitel Old Cataract Hotel (I cannot ...), this hotel is the place to be in Aswan. Extremely clean and large rooms, very good free wifi in the room and decent breakfast. Staff is very helpful. The best rooms have a view on the Nile but the traffic is very noisy. Anyway, this hotel is highly... More
