Top Hotels Near Qubbet al-Hawa in Aswan from NZ$35

"The room was clean and well equipped. The hotel is in an amazing location with a simple boat ride over to the island. This was super efficient and we were rarely left waiting for long. The hotel is quite dated in parts but you can sense its former grandeur. We enjoyed the little birding hut to look out at the river dwelling birds in the mornings. The grounds are well kept with beautiful gardens. Great breakfast buffet, even for vegans. The main panoramic restaurant was very disappointing with no vegan options readily available on the menu, but the chef rustled up a presto pasta which was nice. The lounge bar does a massive vegan wrap with incredible fries though so you won’t be disappointed with that after a day in Abu Simbel! The in-house tour company, Nasco Tours, were super friendly and reliable. They sorted our trips to Abu Simbel and at very short notice to Philae Temple also. They also sorted our airport transfer for us as well - Doha was great, thank you!"

"Sat on the bank of the Nile this lovely little hotel was perfectly situated for easy access across the city. Staff couldn’t have been more polite or helpful and the taxis ordered for us were well-priced and considerate. Food was good, and alcoholic drinks plentiful. We had such a good few days here. Thank you!"

"Excellent stay. 100% Recommend"

"While I enjoyed the cruise, I should note that 1. All numbers listed for the boat were disconnected and my messages through expedia were never answered. Expedia staff were also unable to reach anyone associated with the cruise. As the result, it was very difficult for me to find out the location of departure dock for the cruise. I eventually got the information from my guide from the previous cruise. Movenpick hotel in Aswan is not associated with the cruise in any way and was not able to provide assistance. This issue may be related to booking through Expedia, but their prices are drastically lower than those quoted by other travel agencies. The boat is quite old. It is very well kept, however. The staff was very helpful. Sightseeing and meals were well organized and ran smoothly. The pool was cold, but the hot tub was enjoyable. Due to recent events, there were few fellow travelers on the boat. I hope they survive this downturn. "

"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! "

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