Beautiful and historic building, fabulous swimming pool and spa for relaxing (highly recommend Donya at the spa for massages and body scrub), fantastic restaurants (3), and the staff was so friendly and attentive. We spent New Year’s Eve and 6 days before on the property and it was a magical vacation. Visits of historic sites in the mornings and then relaxing by the pool in the afternoons. Perfect vacation ##### Ariane Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My wife and I stayed at this Historical hotel so look over the Niles, to experience a part of history, and also to enjoy a bit of luxury in a classy way. This hotel meets all of our expectation. About the only negative thing is that's a bit far from the airport, and haggling with the local taxi driver requires way too much effort. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki 22 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Truly magnificent with spectacular view Beautiful room with incredible view. Marina from Guest Relations was fabulous, organised a special cake for my husbands birthday which was most appreciated. Housekeeping and room service staff were lovely and helpful. Fabulous service from the bar staff. Gorgeous hotel full of history and beautifully renovated. We will definitely be back. ##### Vicki Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sahar 20 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Iconic place filled with historical and majestic vibes. Everything was great. Food was delicious. The piano player at 1902 restaurant at dinner was phenomenal playing um Kalthoum and other classic Arabic music. Really memorable. The staff is polite and extra kind and gracious. The wooden stairs were not so clean and had webs at some corners. ##### sahar Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Landon B. 8 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a most luxurious hotel with large rooms with balconies, huge bath. And the bed is the softest--like sleeping on a cloud. Love the public spaces. A gem to be found in Aswan on the Nile. The food was only ok. But the service was great. We had the most expensive martini I have ever had at the bar! $42! But I would still return if in Aswan. ##### Landon B.
