Top Aswan Hotel Reviews

Pyramisa Island Hotel Aswan

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel itself is very clean and the food we ordered was very good. The bonus of the stay is that they have lots of shops that you can buy souvenirs and snacks. I needed a small suitcase and went to one of the shops and yes they had what I need. I will definitely stay here again when in Aswan. I want to say thanks to all the team that made our stay great."

Basma Hotel Aswan

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved my stay at Basma Hotel-Aswan. I celebrated my birthday at the hotel and was made to feel so special by all the staff. Special thank you to Miss Reham, guest relations manager, Felo from the Admin team, Mohamed from the night reception team and the wonderful Mr Waleed from the restaurant. I loved my stay so much that I extended for an additional three days."
