瑕不掩瑜的老瀑布,80%是為了景色買單。硬件設施無功無過,我的房間馬桶沖水按鈕有點問題。酒店服務沒得説,職員素質高,餐廳也蠻好吃。但是我的箱子在退房行李寄存的時候疑似被翻了,沒丟東西,大家有寄存想法的還是準備個行李箱鎖穩妥一點。

The river view is very good, the service is also very good, I arrived at 1 o'clock and checked in early, so I had a lunch break. The welcome fruits and snacks were very rich. In the afternoon, I signed up to visit the Agatha and Churchill rooms, and the scenery was also superb

Bathroom faucets are complete! department! There are problems everywhere! There is not a single normal tap! The faucet of the basin explodes as soon as it is turned on, and it turns into a waterfall The temperature control of the shower faucet is a mystery. It takes half a day to get hot water. The shower head is broken. This is the Premier River View Suite I booked for 6,000

Long-awaited, the room has a strong sense of history and is really big. A strong French style. Although the room facilities are a bit old, it does not affect the overall stay experience. I have to complain that the breakfast is too bad, so I am sorry for the price.

The scenery and service are very good, and you can enjoy the Nile River view, but it is not recommended to book breakfast, there is nothing to eat. If you really want to eat, you can go to their restaurant, which is not bad!

The best hotel in Aswan, with unbeatable views, and the breakfast room is average. There are many photos in the corridor. The lobby facilities are also very good, and the Churchill room can be visited, which is great

It is very famous. The hotel is in a great location. It occupies the most beautiful section of the Nile River in Aswan. From the hotel balcony or restaurant, you can see the Nile sailboats and the sunset. The scenery is indeed beautiful, but the hotel facilities and services are just average. There is a dedicated butler who is very enthusiastic when checking in, but can't be contacted when something happens. We had two deluxe Nile River view rooms, but we didn't expect that the drains were all blocked after taking a shower. The water flowed from the shower room to the sink. Someone was called to check, and they asked if we flushed something and blocked the drain. It's so angry. Such an expensive hotel, but the room facilities are actually very old.
