Absolutely fabulous in every respect... A destination in itself, there was a day we didn't leave the place; just soaked it all in. Far and away the best hotel in Egypt.

The Hotel itself is very nice and feels like an oriental deam from 1001 nights. it is very beautifully architected and built, very colorful and has great facilities, incl. a fantastic pool. However, the best thing about the hotel is its location at the top of a hill with incredible views of the surrounding desert and the river Nile below. The views are absolutely stunning from everywhere at the property incl. all the rooms.

The location was perfect, on the bank of the river with lovely views. We were given a free upgrade to Nile view rooms and they were next to each other as requested and looking out over the river.
The rooms were beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The beds were confortable.

I love all of it! The location is perfect, the house is just beautiful with all the nice colors and paintings and amazing views to the Nile. I stayed in a very comfortable and big room with a small balcony. The staff is very friendly and helpful specially Aya and Tamer. And Tamer even speaks a bit of Spanish which is not common in Egypt. The breakfast is amazing as well as the Egyptian food options available if you want to have lunch or dinner. It is very nice to walk around the streets of the Nubian village and there is a local market very close where you can find lots of nice things.

Unlike Cairo, Aswan is much slower paced and people are much nicer. The city has several historical sites, temples, and islands. The views and food are amazing. I’m skipping Cairo on my next trip to Egypt and coming straight to Aswan and Luxor.

A very beatiful place to relax and enjoy the sun during winter.
We felt very safe and happy.
The local market is great it has unique and authentic goods.
The philae Temple is great it has spots to take photos and great views.
We enjoyed the Botonical Garden very much as it has plants from all over the world.
The feluca ride is one of the best things we enjoyed but first you have to agree on the price.

Tombs of the Nobles were really neat if you can make it over to the other bank. Watch out for the camel guys there though. We got roped into $50 camel rides.
Aswan was probably our least favorite stop in Egypt. Harassment by salespeople was higher here than at the Great Pyramids, and much higher than Luxor! We couldn't walk anywhere at anytime of the day without a salesperson walking with us for several blocks. And as soon as they were done, someone else would take over. Its too bad, I think the corniche could be a really pretty walk!

Aswan is pleasant pretty city on upper Nile within easy day excursion to Abu Simbel. Don't ride camel at Giza, ride one at Aswan out into the desert. Ride felucca boat around Elephantine Island. Eat at King Jamaica restaurant. Stop to see unfinished obelisk

Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
I didn’t realize that the hotel was undergoing a little construction. It looked like they were upgrading their ramp. This meant we had to carry our bags up the stairs to the lobby.
The property is beautiful and has a terrific view of the town and we could see the Nile from our room. The restaurant was very good- we had dinner there.
BTW the construction noise never bothered us. We couldn’t hear it at all.

If you are doing the Initiatic path, Elephantine Island is so perfect. We stayed at Mango Tree (feel like exotic move stars) and Nubian Dreams (also a restaurant but we scored their top floor room and that is super fun) We also stayed at Nubian Palace, oh my gosh. Take a little private ferry and go to that place. Its so memorable. Philae temple was set up from our host at Nubian Palace (which we usually never do but she is a badass and handles it so you don't have to negotiate to and from the ferry marina) Stay on the west bank. Never the east. Its so loud and full of hustle. The west bank is like real Egypt. Lovely. Easy to start the temple path to Abu Simbel by hopping on a local large bus. Fun, cheap, easy. (Its a little more coming back but its all very cheap so be nice and accept the system) From here you can take a train, bus or private taxi to Kom Ombo and Edfu as you make your way to Luxor. (ALSO STAY ON THE WEST BANK in luxor) What a lovely quiet and profoundly spiritual adventure.
Amazing service from the staff (Rena&Rena) and the managers Tahir and Esraa for sorting out a booking site issue with no problems My deepest thanks :-)
It was no problem leaving at 4M for an early drive to Abu Simbel - the 10 minute ferry runs all night and a continental breakfast from 3am with a foil takeout box upon asking.
The 360 panorama is absolutely spectacular and a great choice over the Cataract Hotel - thankyou for the room upgrade to a wonderful garden suite - it was greatly appreciated 😊
Very lovely people, helpful manager that kept checking on us. We arranged everything from the hotel manager Othman himself, and it was done at great prices. The rooms were very clean and the view is fantastic. Will sure come back for an extended trip again in the future. There is so much to do Aswan.
On also they picked us up from the hotel to the mainland for the Abu Simbil tour which usually starts at 4 am, there are no public boats at 4 am in the morning.
This is smaller hotel is connected to the large luxury Basma hotel. We got an upgrade, so our room was really more like a small apartment with two bathrooms, kitchen, living room and garden terrace. It’s on a hill, so the views of the Nile and the city are spectacular. The staff is very friendly and professional. Communication through Booking was quick and easy. They booked our trip to Abu Simbel at 3:45 am and prepared our boxed breakfast.
This hotel is a jewel. Beautiful paintings, sense of detail, quiet and clean room, splendid terrace (i stayed hours gazing on it), and most of all, lovely staff. Saïda, the manager, is exceptionnal ; worth a 5 stars prestation.
Elephantine Island is nice to wander around Aswan. But to chill and gaze, Nubian village is way beyond in my opinion. I could seriously consider to spend an entire week in it, with a proper fruit shop !
EVERYTHING! Literally everything, the location was just amazing.. true, it's far away from central Aswan, but waking up every day in a small island in the middle of the Nile was magical!
Staff were very attentive and helpful: Mahmouda, Choura, Nardin, Fadi, Eman, and the rest!
Unfortunately, we discovered the spa on the last day.. so please do not miss it.
Food is delicious, and the menu offers good Egyptian food.
Clean place, friendly host, flexible arrangement, with foid on site to buy. Location is great, safe. Close to a fantastic restaurant. Near a great 5 star hotel for a fancy night out. It is quiet at night. Wifi is great. Deko is also gratefully extended my stay to more nights. Cleaning stuff are diligent. Nice view over the Niles,. A 5 pound ferry from the center of Aswan. Few min walk from the ferry.
Peaceful. Lovely view over Nile to botanical gardens and desert behind. Nice to have breakfast or just hang out each day admiring the view from rooftop Easy access to Aswan via ferry for 10 Egyptian pounds. No cars on island. Amongst quiet Nubian village. Walk to many restaurants within 5 to 10 min.
Well looked after by Mata and Osama.
Its a super lovely place, way better than the pictures. The personal is amazing, friendly, kind and always ready to help with a smile (special mention for Ibrahim, Mohamed and Ahmad). Its EXTREMELY clean, the cleanest place I have been in Egypt so far. I will definitely repeat it and Aswan best place in Egypt. Thank you all
Best hotel so far in Egypt! The location in the Nubian village of Elephantine Island is great/calm and the rooms are clean.
The highlight is really the owner Saef who is the kindest person we met: he welcomed us with delicious drinks and was so helpful in organizing trips to Abu Simbel and felouca.
Highly recommended!
The view is breathtaking! Most hotels are located in Aswan’s main avenue and you won’t get a chance to see how beautiful the city’s scenery really is. Also, the staff Kamel and Hares were 5 starts. They helped us with everything, we even got a boat trip with Hares. Don’t miss the chance to stay at this hotel!
I visted Basma Hotel with my father.The warm hospitality of the staff who were attentive to all our needs and attention to details was superb. Our meals were servrd on time and the food was delicious. They also helped me book the ticket to Cairo. I'm defenitely visiting again 😍. Thank you Basma Team.
The location is great, the hotel is on an island and to get there is a short boat ride. The staff was very nice specially Ms Christeen Geres who helped us modify our reservation and gave us an upgrade room with magnificent views.
Thank you and see you on our next visit to beautiful Egypt
Hotel was nice and clean. The best thing is the view to the Nilo, so the location. The hotel is rather old style and it’s not perfect but is the best you can get in Aswan considering Egyptian standards… believe me. Ahhh…. Dinner and breakfast are amazing!
the hotel was very nice. Staff was very friendly and helpful. we only stayed for one night when we arrived to Aswan, but would love to have an opportunity to stay longer next time. Breakfast was great.
The staff were very friendly, kind and helpful. The hotel and room are very simple to stay short trip in Aswan. The restaurant is at the 6th floor, so the view was so wonderful.
