The street outside a challenge due to touts, boat owners etc, but all in good humour. Service was rather slow, but the staff were helpful. No tourist info at the hotel.

Fabulous location next to the NILE, marvelous sunsets, a cacphony of noise from the boats late afternoon, early evening combined with the town noise, all added to the atmosphere, bedrooms fairy quite., next to ferries, felucca so etc.

My partner and I received a renovated room but my father-in-law did not, which is something to consider. The shower in our room did not drain properly and I had to turn the shower off multiple times to prevent flooding. We were only here for one night so I didn't report this to management. Our room faced the Nile River and around 4am a boat playing very loud music with very heavy bass was cruising by, for what felt like forever. That is not the fault of the hotel of course but something to consider when booking a room facing the Nile.

We had a spacious room with a very large balcony facing the Nile. We had pizza for dinner at the Italian restaurant, it was good. Breakfast provided a variety of offerings including made to order omelettes. Staff was friendly!

The curtains - they had a big gap in the middle which didn’t meet so we used the throw across the bottom of the bed to cover most of it or we would’ve been blinded by light in the morning. The breakfast was average. There’s room for improvement there but it wasn’t bad.

The room was amazing and in fact we think was the best one we stay in over our 15 nights of Egypt. This felt more like a 5 star than a 4 star. Great views too! The location of yet was 10/10 & our guide said this is the best located hotel to get things. We were in the Nile River suite. Very spacious! Bed was very comfortable! Pic here is us on our room balcony with the Nile in view. Movenpick hotel on Elephantine island is directly opposite at twice the price!

The mattress on beds are very hard. Sitting at the coffee shop is nice. Although the smell if diesel from the boats is a bit much. Just one of the staff at front desk had some sort if attitude about him. The rooms could do with a chair at the vanity table. As you have nothing to sit on.

We stayed in this hotel for a night. It's a very nice clean hotel. It has an Italian restaurant though we didn't eat at it. We had deserts & coffee at the coffee shop on site, which looks onto the water. We had 2 rooms both very clean with a very modern clean bathroom. There's a McDonald's & kfc nearby to walk too. It's right on the water front where you can sit and watch the boats go by. We got a breakfast bag as we were going on a trip.which was ok. Though I would say to the staff, don't put a yogurt in a breakfast bag in a hot climate. It was disgusting and off. Yogurt needs to b kept COLD. The staff are all pretty helpfully.

Location

Stayed in November 2024

Rooms are a bit dated and could do with modernisation. The view, staff and cleanliness make up for it though.

Staff were super friendly. The view is excellent. The location is right in the centre. We walked everywhere! The restaurant is open 24 hours and the staff were accommodating and made special vegetarian dishes. I wanted to try some of the Egyptian cuisine, so they made them without meat.

It was a bit noisy, because there were some boats on the nile with loud music late at night or very early in the morning. So better to bring some ear plugs.

The hotel was really nice, the location was convenient and close to everything! The view from the room was amazing looking directly on the Nile. Food was decent and they had a pool which was good to use in the hot weather.

The room is old - cracked and rotted wall etc.

The hotel is of a great location by the Nile River. The staffs from reception and restaurant are enthusiasm and helpful.

A few small repairs to the property are needed. Work was being done while we were there, but it was not intrusive.

Loved the staff!!! Location right on the Nile was fantastic. Close to the Aswan market and the Marina. The Obelisk has its own docking area if you are renting a Felucca. They offered a free sunset tour with one non alcoholic drink included. They offer beer, wine and spirits in the restaurant. Pool was clean and cool. Our package included a Buffet style breakfast with an omelette bar. Fruit, yogurt, toast, cereal, pastries and other hot food.

The use of the swimming pool closes at 18h, I felt it a bit early.

Nice hotel located in the city center of Aswan, you can walk around the hotel without trouble. The view is fantastic as the hotel is located by the Nile. The room is spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable. We had to leave for a tour before the breakfast time and we could request a box earlier, which is very nice.

Mr. Hamdy and his staff were so wonderful! Took such great care of us. The pool ladders are broken. And the Obelisk boats come and idle and give off diesel fumes right at the diners. But really this was a wonderful experience. We spent 5 nights here, so plenty of experience.

Had to walk down several stairs to use the bathroom in the room. Pool seemed a little dirty and needs repairs. Balcony chairs were uncomfortable

We had the suite on the river. Had amazing views. Buffet breakfast was nice. Located across from night market. Close to public ferry

The cost of transport hired through the hotel or through tour companies is way over the top - if you can brave it, you will pay way way less for a taxi to take you the Philae Temple boat station (15 minutes) or to the Unfinished Obelisk (5 minutes).

We were very happy with our stay at the Obelisk Nile Hotel. We booked a room with a Nile river view and this was a very good idea as the rooms not facing the river were obviously not as good. The room was modern, clean, air-conditioned and with a big bathroom - it was an excellent room. The hotel has a restaurant with a terrace right on the river which was great (photo of river view attached) - breakfast was very good including there being an omelet chef. The pool is big, clean and with a poolside drinks service. The free sunset river cruise on the hotel boat for 1 hour was brilliant - it was free and no hidden cost or sell - just a delightful river cruise up and back the river at sunset. Rana the customer services manager was very helpful, even on her day off when we needed a little assistance, she was there on WhatsApp to help.
