I only stayed for one night but this is a lovely hotel right on the Nile. The room was comfortable and the restaurant on the terrace had excellent food and a wonderful view overlooking the river. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly.

Bitten by mosquitos in the first night but then hotel staff sprayed the room and all was then fine.

The location was perfect right beside the Nile - very accessible to the markets, restaurants and sights. The room was clean and modern. The facilities including swimming pool were excellent and very well maintained. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Restaurant was very good and great value.

Very old facility, lots of flies outside during sunset time. Check-in is a bit slow.

Great location, you can enjoy river view by the hotel restaurant. There’s a McDonald and also a KFC nearby. Helpful staff.

Everything except the view was bad. The breakfast was unbearable. The rooms and restaurants were all messy and not so clean. The bathroom shower booth was wrongly designed so the water did not go down well. The TV was not working and the safe was broken and it took almost an hour to get the management to respond to my request.

The Nile view from the hotel was nice.

The Staff, the room looked very old tired, we had no electric for most of the morning and no one said a thing until me and others asked, seems to be the norm so be aware, loads more but was an overnight stay so just put up with it

We didn't actually stay at the Obelisk Nile Hotel, we were moved to a 'sister' hotel the Basma. This is undergoing a refurb and so had some areas out of use. The rooms had poor sound proofing and were quite noisy. The room had tea making facilities, but no tea or coffee! We were too tired to phone down after a fully 13hr tour in Aswan/Abu Simbel. The breakfast was OK and completely self service, apart from omelettes/pancakes which prepared to order - if you stayed with the chef and waited for them, otherwise they would go to someone else! All coffee came from a Nescafe machine as did warm water for the tea.

The room was a good size and we had a view of the Nile from our balcony.

The phone, refrigerator, and, most importantly, the Air conditioner were not working in our room. I did not turn on the TV, but I would not be surprised if that was not working either. We did not get a queen bed, and our room was very old and run down. Smashed dead mosquitos all over the walls, gaps under the door that was letting in mosquitos. One of the twin beds had a dip in it. Front desk was not friendly. If you are listing AC under the hotel amenities, please make sure it’s actually working and is not there for just a picture. The AC in our room not only was not working but was blowing mildly warm moldy smelly air. We looked at the filter and it was super dirty. You need to realize that one of the reasons customers are choosing to give you business over the many other listings is the Air conditioner so, please meet the minimum basic requirements and show some hospitality. The place is NOT worth the price.

Location and pool are the only two good things about this hotel.

Too noisy, impossible to sleep without earplugs. Breakfast was not good at all, served in bedroom as no dining area.

Staff were very friendly and room was clean

If I'm being "picky", then the cats roaming around and jumping on guests laps, can be a pleasant or annoying experience depending on your tolerance or love for cats. I was not a fan unfortunately.

As you enter, up the stairs and start to walk, you just catch the most Amazing view of the Nile. Great move by the hotel as this steers your mood in the right direction immediately. The location of this hotel is Exquisite, the layout and styling is fantastic, somewhat of a "villa" kind of feel. At reception, the welcome and smiles are just so refreshing. This is the beginning as every interaction with the staff (especially those amazing gentlemen and chefs at breakfast) thereafter leaves you feeling so happy. The staff are sublime, polite, friendly, efficient and ever willing to just spoil every guest. The rooms are great, beds were comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and the shower was nice. We used to wait for breakfast, literally sitting on the edge of the Nile, that's special and quite a thrill. The breakfast was amazing with a generous spread and delicious meals served with oodles of love. The main street adjoining the hotel is an adventure and we were happily exploring till late hours, it's a great vibe and really pleasant experience. This is a great value for money hotel, you get far more value than what you pay for. We loved the experience and will be back if we can.

Nothing much really

It was amazing. It was a resort type accommodation located on the banks of the Nile. We didn’t expect such a luxurious accommodation and it was a pleasant surprise

room location

Good breakfast. Pretty unhelpful reception staff, very slow check in. Room location was dissapointing - not near the pool or with a nile view so felt these rooms should be discounted.

I booked this hotel last minute and the staff were very welcoming friendly and sweet They did everything possible for us to have a smooth check in and out Specially they prepared breakfast box for us because we have to check out before the breakfast buffet timing The facility is beautiful over looking the Nile and greenery.

Staff up talking every night outside until 3am which made it very hard to sleep. Slow reply to email comms but when they do reply they are pleasant and helpful. Shower broken, room condition generally very poor and needs updating.

Staff are friendly, especially the lady who helped resolve our lost luggage issue! Location good.

Bad receptionist attitude. Also, I paid a higher price than the one shown in booking which is not professional at all. In general I had a bad experience because of the stuff in the restaurant and in the reception.

The room is different from the picture shown. It is really old, and even worse it was dirty at our arrival (even broken bed sheets). The second day, after asking, they cleaned the room and it was ok. But still, do not expect the room you will see in the pictures. For us it was really disappointing.

The staff is really nice and welcoming. The hotel itself has really nice common spaces, from the hall to the restaurant, and the pool area (with an amazing Nile view) and the garden itself.
