We only stayed one night here, before we went on the Oberoi Philae, which I'd also highly recommend- the boat and itinerary were fabulous. Anyway, the hotel was lovely, the room was spacious and had views of the Nile. Room service was great too... However, I may be naive, but I was quite surprised how poor Aswan was, especially as... more

Stayed 1 night before our Nile Cruise and we were very pleasantly surprised- the front desk staff gave a very warm welcome and from then on this level of service was continued. Yes the buffet dinner is'nt great (the Italian restaurant is closed for refurb) but overall its a gem considering the nightly rate. The situation on Elephantine Island is... more

Beautiful location, we had a suite which was on two levels, pool excellent, only place to eat was a buffet, food was average to good but the staff appeared to be very poorly trained and service was very poor. One afternoon we had a mini tornado hit the poolside, and the staff ran for cover behind the bar, after it... more

awful food, awful service, awful concierge, ugly decor, unimpressive rooms. the sofitel was under renovation when we went so this was our best option. we had low expectations and we were still disappointed. other than the pretty views, i have nothing to recommend about this hotel. i advise you to either stay at the sofitel or don't stay overnight in... more

Good points for great view, good food, comfortable room, friendly staff. Let down: During my stay every single day there was a problem with the TV channels. It seems that the hotel couldn`t decide on the channels that should be available, it keeps on changing, the TV list was useless. Another weird thing – At any given time there is... more

Only spent one night here before our Nile cruise and wished we could have stayed longer. We actually looked at trying to come back for our final 3 days in Egypt but flights from Sharm el Sheikh to Aswan (via Cairo, Luxor and an 18 hour lay over) were pretty non existant. We walked to the hotel from the train... more

We stayed just one night spending the afternoon by the pool, having lunch and then had breakfast and left to board our Nile cruise. You have to take a 5 minute boat ride provided by the hotel. The boat leaves every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day so that it makes it very easy to go into the town of... more

Lovely hotel with great views in a lovely location. Breakfast spread was great. more

The hotel is really fabulous. We had a spacious room with a wonderful view on the Nile. Breakfast Buffet was really tasty with lots of variety. Pool Staff was attentive and really friendly. Check in was effiicient and friendly. The bar on the 13th floor offers great views of Aswan, especially during dusk. Some negative points that were in general... more
