7.8/10 Good! (94 reviews)
Our stay was good. The air conditioner in the main bedroom of the suite stopped working on our last night. I tried to adjust the temperature but was unable to cool down the room. The driver that they have is great. Very knowledgeable about the area and other cities in Egypt. I highly recommend using the driver service they offer as it is more safe to use than taxi service.

Our stay at the Obelisk Nile Hotel in Aswan was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. We came to Aswan as part of our Egypt trip, and this hotel ended up being one of the highlights of our time there. The location, food, atmosphere, and especially the staff made our experience truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout our entire stay. Everyone we interacted with was willing to help, answer questions, and make sure we were comfortable. It was the kind of hospitality that made us feel like guests rather than just customers. The hotel is located right along the Nile, which gives the property a beautiful atmosphere and makes it a great place to relax after spending the day exploring Aswan. One person who really stood out to us was Hadra. Hadra was absolutely amazing and deserves special recognition. He was extremely kind, welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and always made us feel comfortable and welcomed. If you’re visiting Aswan and want a hotel with a beautiful Nile-side location, great food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, Obelisk Nile Hotel is definitely worth considering.
