Aswan Hotels with Balcony

"The location is excellent, right on the Nile River. However, the rooms are quite small. The breakfast restaurant was good, offering outdoor seating right by the Nile to enjoy your meal. A ferry to Elephantine Island is conveniently located right next to the hotel, which was very handy."

"The Old Cataract Hotel was *the* reason I came to Aswan!! The ambiance is simply unparalleled. I highly recommend staying in the new wing; the views are even better! For those who want to experience the old building, you can book a tour to see Agatha Christie's room. And the breakfast was absolutely divine!"

"After reading the mixed reviews online, I decided to book the hotel after some consideration. The experience wasn't as I'd feared. I called ahead and the hotel sent a car to pick me up at the airport on time with a sign (20 dollars), which was about the same as a taxi, but saved me a lot of hassle. The hotel was newly renovated, the rooms were spacious, the air conditioning was powerful, the facilities were good, and the rooms were clean. This is a rooftop guesthouse with a small pool and direct access to a large terrace, similar to the Basma Hotel below. Breakfast is served in a restaurant with stairs down to the main floor. There's a wide variety of dishes, but it's a standard European breakfast, which Chinese people might not be used to. If it weren't for the intense sun during the day, it would be quite relaxing to just lie outside. The river views were great morning and evening. The hotel staff were very polite. Although the language barrier was a bit high (my English was poor), they were always helpful with any requests. In the evening, they even offered welcome fruit, wine, and snacks. When I arrived, they also offered me wine and drinks while I was relaxing on the terrace. For the price, it felt like excellent value. I don't get this kind of service in China at this price."

"This is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village. First of all, you have to be able to tolerate: 1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel. 2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide). 3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it. 4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel. 5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person... What did we get here? 1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am. 2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic. 3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic. 4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles. 5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay."

"My stay was amazing, i enjoyed every moment in this hotel the breakfast was amazing, also the roof with a beautiful view for the nile , the staff was super amazing and nice also helpful they prepared a trip and they have a free tour to the nubian village 😍 By the way the hotel manage my new founder they make renew for all the hotel , highly recommended love you all ♥️♥️"

"The scenery of the hotel is very good, the Nile River can be seen from the restaurant, and the breakfast is not bad. The room facilities are relatively simple, similar to those of old domestic 3-star hotels. The bedsheets are a bit lacking in hygiene. Bring your own bedsheets. There are no USB charging ports, slippers, etc. The hotel is in an upper location, 20 minutes away from KFC, and there are few restaurants nearby. My friend who was traveling with me booked a room at Qunar. When I checked in, I was told that there was no reservation, so I almost didn't get it. Ctrip is relatively reliable."

"The boss is very welcoming, the balcony has a great view, and although the luggage is heavy, the boss will help with it. He is a very nice person and highly recommends everyone to stay here!"

"It’s one of if not the best hotel in Aswan, situated in an exclusive island with an amazing view of the Nile and Nubian village. The staff was super comforting and lovely. There’s a shuttle boat that runs 24 hours to the main center of Aswan. I had an incredible time here. ＜3"

"The design of the room is very beautiful, the design of the hotel is also very beautiful, but the breakfast is very simple (coarse grain pancakes every day), it is cold when I wake up at 8 o'clock in the morning, there are few varieties, and the layout is also rather random. No one cleaned the room on the second night, and no mineral water was provided. Flies came into the room at night when I lived on the first floor, and I was asked to check out at 11 o'clock in the morning. The transportation recommended by the hotel to Philae Temple and the tour to Elephant Island were all charged higher than the market price."

"Very good hotel, very convenient for travel, the scenery is also good, good value for money, economical and affordable, the room is very quiet, the food is also delicious, you can drink duck, it's great, hehe, happy"
