Scenic Hotels in Aswan

"Wonderful service - guard and porter at the front, efficient front desk, upgraded to a Nile room. Pool side was great with a view of the Nile, plenty of chairs and fresh towels,  although bar staff sometimes a little slow on drink and food refills this could be forgiven Buffet breakfast had a good selection including eggs made to order, staff very attentive Dinner selection was OK but again great service "

"This hotel is something else. I was completely fooled by the scenic pictures. You can indeed see the Nile River, but only from a distance. Up close, it's nothing but ruins. The hotel is incredibly, incredibly, incredibly remote. If you're traveling independently, I wouldn't recommend staying here. You simply can't find the place, and the surrounding area is as run-down as it gets! Once you're in, you're stuck because it's so isolated and messy! The room itself was okay, a decent size, and the balcony offered Nile views. Other facilities were just average, and breakfast wasn't good either. Basically, I just don't recommend it!"

"The hotel is quite old, both physically and morally outdated. The buffet breakfast and dinner were delicious. The staff were friendly. The air conditioning was a bit noisy. We were given a huge two-room suite by the Nile, but for this price, we're used to staying in newer hotels."

"The hotel is very closed to the Nile Cruise dock area, it is located just across the road from the river. Very busy street, plenty of shops around and there is a shopping center in the building as well. Our room is very clean and big. We had 3 single beds and it is still very spacious. A little noisy outside especially at night because our room is street facing but very manageable. The reception staff were very helpful.The place is very safe. We only had a short stay after disembarking from our Nile Cruise, visiting Abu Simbel on the same day and flying out early from Aswan Airport back to Cairo the following day."

"This is a great place. The island where the hotel is located is the best spot in all of Aswan. The people here are nothing like the Egyptians who constantly bother you. Here, you can relax more. There are many good places to eat nearby. The room is comfortable, clean, and has Nile views. You have a shared 'kitchenette' with another room in the hallway just outside your door on the same floor. The rooftop terrace is great for sitting and having a drink (which you bring up yourself) and enjoying the Nile views both day and night. The staff are very friendly and even give you a farewell gift – a bracelet with a scarab for everyone in the room. Plus, you get a welcome drink both when you arrive and when you leave. The bathroom has a shower gel dispenser and a shampoo dispenser. They also provide tea and coffee as amenities, and there's a kettle and a fridge to store your things."

"Facilities: Excellent. The rooms are located on higher ground with flowerbeds outside. The hotel has its own restaurant; the grilled fish and rice is delicious! Breakfast is a bit simple, but the service is excellent. Cleanliness: Very clean. Even a grain of rice on the floor was cleaned up by the staff when settling the bill. Environment: You can see Philae Temple in the distance. This is a huge plus for those who have seen too many temples to take a boat trip to see them again. Service: Excellent! The owner and chef are very attentive. Upon arrival, they inquire about the next day's itinerary and flight schedule, arranging the boat in advance. If you want to return after exploring Aswan city, it's recommended to contact the hotel half an hour in advance to arrange a boat pick-up. For the taxi location to the hotel's boat dock, I suggest using InDrive or Google Search for ”benben hotel taxi spot”—local drivers will know it. For this price and view, there's really nothing to complain about. I recommend watching the sunset directly from the hotel and not going into Aswan city. My biggest regret this time was going through all that trouble to take the sunset sailing trip at the Old Falls Hotel. It wasn't as beautiful as sitting in the hotel restaurant and watching the sunset. It's a pity I missed it."

"The rooms weren't as good as Atour or Ji Hotel, and at 1300 RMB a night, it was definitely a bit pricey! I stayed for two days. The hotel is a short walk from the Nubian Museum, and a short walk further down is the Old Falls, making the location very convenient. There's a Carrefour supermarket opposite the Old Falls, and a pretty good Chinese restaurant across from Carrefour. Waking up in the morning and opening the curtains to see the Nile River was quite breathtaking. The breakfast was so-so, but there's not much good food in Egypt, so I guess breakfast is included if it's included. 😂"

"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."
