5/5 — Amazing stay at Abu Simbel! I had an excellent experience at this hotel. The room was clean, and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was included and delicious. The location is perfect — it’s just a short walk to the Abu Simbel temples. The infinity pool overlooks the lake, and watching the sunset from there was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Abu Simbel!

This is a new and clean hotel with an unbeatable location—just a 5-minute walk to the Abu Simbel temples, or you can use their complimentary golf cart service. The staff are absolutely wonderful! We were warmly greeted by the manager, Aml, who kindly allowed us to check in early. Asma, the guest relations staff, was courteous, professional, and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. This hotel is also a perfect place to relax, especially with its beautiful infinity pool overlooking the area and the place overlooking Lake Nasser.
