    Nothing to complain about

    Beautiful location! Just a short boat ride from the Philae Temple. I would choose this hotel ten times over staying in Aswan. The fact that it’s on its own island — only accessible by boat — makes it feel wonderfully secluded. We loved the boat rides on the Nile, and the hotel provides free boat taxis, making it easy to get around. The decor is beautiful, and the staff are friendly and helpful. A unique and peaceful place to stay.

    10/10 would recommend!! Absolutely beautiful spot, will never forget the views on the little shuttles approaching the hotel. Felt like a movie. Staff were amazing. Had no problems with shuttles, tuktuks up the hill, service. The food was also incredible! And very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend for staying in Aswan. It’s obviously relatively far away from the main city but once you’ve got the shuttle it’s only about a 15-20min taxi which is super quick. It’s right next to the Philae temple and that made it feel surreal. Would recommend to everyone!

    We loved that this property was away from the city of Aswan. It provided the tranquility and escape from the hustle and bustle of the city as we ended our time in Egypt. The accommodation was lovely, well designed and appointed and the staff afforded excellent care and attention, they too were exceptional. The views were gorgeous, including across to the Philae Temple. Food and drink was very reasonable and of good quality and variety.

    Our stay was too short!

    A magical place!! The views are spectacular (Nile and Philae Temple), the terrace with jet pool and incredible reprieve from the heat, the staff best of the best, we could not have asked for more. Loved so much we stayed 3 extra days! The spa is fantastic and overall the place just so relaxing and calm. One of the best parts is the adopted rescue pup ‘Hummous’ 🙂 What a sweetheart! Love, love, love this place.

    The property is a bit far of the main city, but if that is not an issue is an amazing experience.

    The property is amazing, haven in between the beautiful caos of Aswan. The hotel staff is really nice and attentive the honey face massage is amazing. Also the views of the Phile Temple are stunning, do not miss to catch the sunrise.

    We did have a long wait for lunch on our first day, but otherwise the stay was wonderful.

    We were upgraded to a huge room which had a lovely view over the lake. We loved the experience of boating out to the hotel and the food was also excellent! The staff were super helpful and positive! We received a special dietary-appropriate engagement gift of fruit.

    The jacuzzi was freezing cold so didn’t really get to use it during our stay, which is a shame as the view from it was very special.

    Luxurious retreat feel being away from the main Aswan town and needing a boat to get there. Rooms and restaurant were good and the nightly Nubian performances were entertaining and interactive. Great for some relaxation away from the bustling town.

    Boat: the connection by boat is not very effective. We had to wait at the dock on average 20/30 minutes each time. Moreover all other connections (apart from the dock), including the temple, are not free of charge and prices are much higher than other service provides; Restaurant: no much choice; Power cuts each evening and no water to wash hands at the restaurant

    Perfect location on an island next to the beautiful Philoe Temple. A wonderful and very special place. Go there and stay! Spectacular views and great spirits. We had a very good dinner in the very nice restaurant. We have got every assistance for our trips. Boat service is easy, very well organized.

    There are Nubian communities on the island, but you are restricted to the hotel property. If you want to go to tourist attractions in Aswan other than Philae, the hotel refers you to expensive tours. No help with do-it-yourself. No help at their boat dock to simply find a taxi.

    Beautiful place. Wonderful breakfast. Having a hot tub on the deck that actually got to 39 degrees was wonderful. Very easy to visit the Philae Temple from there--the hotel boat will take you for a very reasonable price.

    The location is simply breathtaking. All around the hotel the views are spectacular. Our suite was spacious and clean, excellent bathroom. The check in process was super smooth. The way to the hotel from the boat dock is steep but they have a complimentary tuktuk which helps if you don't want to hike up. The staff is excellent, attentive and very polite. One of the staff, Taha, stood out for us, he makes an excellent mint lemonade. The breakfast buffet has an extensive choice. Dinner choices are varied and decent tasting. Each night a dinner they have local musicians perform lovely music. Bed are comfortable.

    If I was being picky- sun-beds in addition to chairs - if you want tranquil this is the place

    I have stayed in over 400 5 star hotels - we loved this place - boutique hotel with 22-24 rooms - stunning architecture and gardens - unique location with awesome views - you won’t find many hotels like this - quite romantic - don’t go if you want to party!- very chilled and staff can not be more helpful- room and the plunge pool were lovely - we brought a couple of bottle of wine and staff were more than happy to serve it at dinner - very memorable stay - thank you
