Originally we were assigned a room that was below the category we had booked, but the next day were moved to a better one. Except for the terrace the room and the common areas were clean. The breakfast buffet offered great variety and the restaurant, both the buffet and the a la carte was reasonable. Special thanks to Reham who made us feel welcome and at home.

The Hotel Basma was a lovely place to stay in Aswan. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. They helped me arrange tours to Philae Temple and Abu Simbel. They made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. The room was nice and had everything I needed. The views of the Nile from the balcony was the best.

Guest relation manager Reham had contacted us prior to our visit to ensure that any of our special requests could be accommodated. Maria was very helpful at check-in and offered us a complimentary upgrade and even arranged for a cake to celebrate our son's birthday. The location of the property on the top of the hill was quite unique and gave a view of the unfinished obelisk and the Nile, with good sunrise/sunset view. Would definitely recommend this property.

I didn’t have high hopes for this hotel based on the reviews so overall I wasn’t surprised or disappointed. We ended up staying here because our first choice was sold out. The breakfast buffet was really bad… the worst of our entire trip to Egypt. Our room was dated and we ended up with two twin beds. There is not a lot of food in the area when we asked the hotels for recommendations they said they only recommended this TGI Fridays rip off called makinis which was sub par but better than the hotel dinner buffet we had the day before. The prices for beer are good but other than that just be prepared for a dated hotel.

It is a very beautiful hotel in a great setting. The room was nice, spacious, clean. Staff who did the rooms failed to bring towels and a bath mat on a regular basis. Breakfast (included in the room rate), was good and we enjoyed the outdoors seating, with views of the river and their gorgeous swimming pool. I wouldn't recommend dining there. Meals were not very tasty, and didn't meet the menu's description. Having said that I didn't find any restaurants in Aswan that I would recommend. At check-out, they tried to charge US$89, which we did not owe!

Accommodating but less in professionalism

The location and view is great. Staff can be trained to the next level of professionalism compared to the other hotels I have stayed. At the checkout, the guy was so busy so even say thank you. Just handed me a print out and start talking to someone else. When I asked for an envelop , he just gave me one. There were other incidents as well… Rooms are a little out dated. Food was good but the cutleries, plates and the buffet area doesn’t meet the high standards.

This was a great stay at Basma Hotel Aswan. Check in was smooth, and contrast to other reviews our booking through expedia was recieved fine, with all requested extras fufilled. Lobby is manned 24/7 so our 3am check out was easy. The room was fine, for what you pay for we had no complaints. We got toiletries everyday the room was re-freshed/ cleaned well every day. We got a welcome drink and plate of food. Tea and coffee packets in the room and bottled water everyday. The wifi was good in rooms and shared areas. Pool was good, towels provided and beds comfortable. This area could of been cleaner, with the toilets here needing attention. This hotel has a great view of Aswan and the Nile. Its on a hill near the Cataract hotel. A good climb/ walk everyday into the town, about 30 mins to be central. The breakfast was good, buffet, could of done with more variety but we didnt go hungry. Staff are attentive and friendly. For the price point i would reccomend for a cheap and cheerful stay.

This is a very nice hotel! The staff was incredibly helpful and allowed me to check in quite early. My room had a huge balcony and a great view of the city and the river. Special thanks to Guest Relations Manager Reham, who made transportation arrangements, gave me tips for walking around the city, and treated me like a king. Highly recommended!

For the money you pay you expect a cleaner and better hotel. Our room was spacious with good beds, but it wasn't clean. Especially the floor was dirty... also in the corridor, next to our door, was waste on the floor. The breakfast was ok. Bad price-quality ratio.

Bueno

Me costó mucho trabajo encontrar una buena opción de hotel en Aswan. En general considero que es un hotel viejo, pero las habitaciones están muy bien, más modernizadas y eso si, limpias. El desayuno está muy limitado pero está bueno. Para tomar el crucero es una buena opción si solo quieres descansar antes de tomarlo o después.
