    Our experience: We stayed for a night at this hotel. With $65 a night for 2 adults and a kid, The hotel is over priced with very basic amenities. The room window couldn't be closed properly and there was dust inside. It's next to the main street and the railway station and hence was noisy. They provided paper cups instead of glass/ceramic for tea/coffee in the room. Not what you expect in a hotel of this price.

    The rooms are old and have not been refurbished for some time. I had to struggle with the lock every time I retuned to the room. The toilet was old including towels. The cleaning staff however was helpful and did the maximum they could.

    Best location overlooking the river Nile. I had a room with a balcony towards the river with an excellent view. Breakfast was elementary with an omelette or boiled egg with bread and butter.

    Firstly they accept only USD that too in Cash. For someone who isn't from the US it is a problem particularly when we reached the hotel in the middle of the night due to a delayed flight and none of the atm machine at the airport was working at that hour. So checking in the hotel was messy as they dont accept card or EGP currency, the irony of it. Secondly we spotted a few stray dogs around the entrance of the hotel, particularly a black dog was emaciated, sick and in skin and bones and when I tried to approach him to feed him he was so scared that he peed himself and looked traumatized, i work with rescue animals and I know what that means. It costs nothing to be kind to animals, I know this has nothing to do with the hotel itself but I am writing this here incase you plan to book this hotel please check in on the dog if possible and let their management know to be kind to those poor dogs.

    The location of the hotel is good, at the centre of the town.

    Repeated power cuts and cuts to the water supply, half the lights in the room didn't have bulbs that worked. It was a lack of maintenance not staff as there were plenty of staff idle in reception for the 10 guests in the hotel. Perhaps use the summer months to check the inventory for each room. Power cuts where they are not just isolated to the hotel I can accept but some were the fault of the hotel itself

    Nile view which was as described

    Not really clean, in all the common areas and sunbeds stained dirty, no but beds and room was clean, no air conditioning was on in the breakfast, hotel almost empty so maybe no point to put it on as we only ones in breakfast. it needs some renovation. It is expensive for what it is compared to other hotels. I have stayed in lots of hotels in aswan, including Marhaba a few times, but in the last 4 years it has really deteriorated unfortunately.

    Staff are nice. Location is almost next to the train station so handy.

    The location is opposite the Nile river very near to the cruise ships docking area. A standard hotel for a short stay if you arrive early and need a place to stay before boarding the cruise. Very limited menu for vegetarians in the restaurant.

    The staff are very friendly and welcoming especially Mr waleed. The hotel is in the centre of Aswan, next to Aswan train station. Quite close to fast food restaurants as well. The hotel room had a nice view of the Nile and the noble of tomps.

    This is an okay stay if you're traveling on a tight budget. The hotel is a bit old and the bathroom and beds are outdated, but it's cheaper than other hotels if you need a central place to spend the night.

    The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is very central, 3 minutes walk to the Aswan train station, and 5 minutes walk to the old Aswan market. Quite close to fast food restaurants as well. The hotel room had a nice view of the Nile.

    Very few guests, clingfilmed breakfast plates, soiled tablecloths, chipped cups, out of date yoghurts. The bathroom was tiny, shabby, very little hot water, and bedrooms very tired.

    The central location near the train station, tourist information, ferries and the souk gave us an authentic Aswan experience. The staff were attentive and friendly.

    The hotel has a good entrance and reception hall, so the first feeling is good compared to the standards, but the room in general and the bathroom especially is not maintened at all.

    The hotel is in a very strategic position, near to the mall and the suck, in front of the Nile.
