Top Hotels Near Aswan Bazaar in Aswan from NZ$53

"**Beware of Theft** During our stay at Obelisk Nile Hotel, Aswan (11–13 March 2026), the door lock to our room suddenly stopped working on the late afternoon/evening of 12 March, the night before checkout, despite functioning normally just two hours earlier. The hotel provided a master key, but the issue was never properly resolved. After checkout on 13 March, we discovered that a pair of prescription sunglasses was missing from our suitcase. We immediately contacted the hotel and requested an incident report for insurance purposes. The hotel reviewed CCTV footage and claimed I was seen wearing sunglasses when leaving the premises. However, I clearly explained that the glasses in the footage were my everyday transition lenses, which darken under UV light, and are not the missing sunglasses. Despite this clarification, the hotel refused to acknowledge the issue and eventually stopped responding altogether. We also formally requested that CCTV footage covering our room and the corridor during our stay be preserved and provided for police and insurance purposes, but received no response. We are concerned that the lock malfunction may be related to this incident. This experience was extremely disappointing. I would not feel comfortable staying at a hotel that fails to properly address serious incidents and protect guests’ belongings."

"Clean room and helpful staff"

"Nice hotel although a lot more expensive than the 5 star hotels in both cairo and luxor"

"This would have easily been a 5-star review but for the inaccuracy of the property location listing. This property is located on Elephantine Island, not in Aswan proper as listed. If you’re packing with big roller bags, be aware of the walk to this guesthouse. It’s all dirt paths. That said, everything else was great. The place is clean, spacious and quiet. The host’s mom was as sweet and caring as could be. She cooked delicious breakfasts every morning and even volunteered to do some laundry for us. This Nubian island is an amazing cultural experience that should be on everyone’s bucket list. "

"This is by far the WORST Hotel I have ever stayed in my entire life! Location is scary, rooms we terrible and service was horrible! This hotel needs to be SHUT DOWN! "

"This one night stay was extension to our stay due to error in check out date . Packed breakfast was given as we need to start travel back home at 06:30."

"Very helpful staff. Good location and easy acrss to activities"
