    Location did mean it was a bit noisey at night as Aswan “doesn’t sleep”.

    Central location was excellent. On the Nile. Across street from bazaar. Across the river from the Movenpick. 5 min walk to ferry to Elephantine island. Layout was relaxed. Staff friendly, helpful and professional.

    There were intermittent power cuts on two days and the WiFi only worked in the bar and lobby, not the rooms. The shower didn't drain properly.

    The views over the river Nile were amazing. Staff were friendly and the pool area was clean and modern.

    A bit noisy and not much space in the bathroom to put toiletries (another shelf / shelves would be nice) and additional towel rack. I couldn't get the AC / heating to work :-(

    The friendliness and kindness of restaurant and hotel staff especially the concierge Mohammed. AMAZING Nile view over Elephantine island, great swimming pool, lots of space & sunbeds available and they're very comfortable. The room is spacious and clean, large modern bathroom, I like the bungalow-style rooms, each of them has a small patio. The restaurant food was good and so was the service, although a bit pricey but that seems to be the case in all of Aswan's riverside hotels. Still worth it for the view! Like a lot of hotels on the east bank it has its own dock which is convenient if you want to book a Felucca or motorboat ride, they pick you up and drop you off right in front.

    Nothing that I didn't like. But hotel is a bit old. So it's not fresh looking. But it's clean and maintained.

    Easy location to commute, clean, breakfast was decent, staff is good. It's a decent stay.

    The hotel is located in Aswan city center. Very easy to commute to Aswan market. Has a restaurant that overlooks the Nile and has good amenities

    Some of the facilities are a big dated but they are doing some renovation works at the moment so expect this will be better soon. We did book a Nile view room which was unavailable due to the renovation works - we weren’t told beforehand, but we did have a lovely room next to the pool and we were offered a free dinner in the restaurant instead which was appreciated.

    Amazing location - hotel is right on the Nile and in the very centre of Aswan so easy to access everything. Pool area and view from restaurant was lovely. Room was big and comfortable and staff were very friendly and helpful.

    the deck of the transport ferry to movenpick hotel is right next to the window so can hear constant noise

    we got the room with both Nile view (right at the front) and pool view. it’s very convenient to just pop out the room to the pool. hotel location is perfect, we walked to the souk very easily and plenty of banks around. our bathroom is very big and everything is very clean.

    The rooms could benefit from an update and it would really make this hotel 5 star. The food was ok.

    Hotel is located perfectly in the center of everything yet our room facing the Nile was not noisy at all. Lovely balcony overlooking the river to eat your breakfast, grab a drink and watch the feluccas at sunset. The souk was located just behind. The staff were lovely and kind. They even brought us a surprise birthday cake.

    - shower was a mess, flooding, damaged, water was out everywhere - some staff at the reception desk was not that friendly or they seemed all the time annoyed - no WiFi on the rooms - REALLY annoying that they NEVER LEFT towels on the room, we had to call every day to ask for them. We had literally the same issue for the 3 days we were there, sometimes they did not even bring the right towels, our shower door was missing so the water went out and they never gave us extra towels for the floor

    - location - 24hs pool - the best! - restaurant, and their staff were really nice and welcoming, friendly people! - breakfast had a lot, some rotating stuff, we liked the chef serving omelettes

    Hotel needs renovation, especially the bathroom. The bathtub was leaking to the floor and the ceiling was dropping pieces of paint. There was no wifi in the rooms, only in the reception. Also, we had arranged a pick-up from the airport and no one showed.

    Swimming pool and balcony viewing the Nile. The hotel has very nice places to relax, and if you go in the Summer then having a swimming pool to cool down is a must. Staff was all friendly. The trips we booked while in the hotel were nice and easy to arrange.
