Nothing

Superb views and it feels glamorous to arrive by boat

While I’ve never had housekeeping randomly deliver extra towels when not asked for (it felt more like a request for a tip then just going above and beyond - but this may be my bias), still, the hotel is overall lovely and the little things like having a chocolate hour or ice cream available in the lobby says so much about the impeccable care and service they aspire to.

This is a wonderful property overlooking Elephantine Island and the Nile. Fantastic breakfasts, and I appreciated the humor and service of our breakfast server, Ramadan. If you can, go to the restaurant Panorama or just that and great food!

Its very picturisque.

Electricity was cutting out and the lighting in the room was not very good overall. Food at the restaurant was not as fabulous as other hotels we stayed at in Egypt.

We got an upgrade to a fabulous room. The decor was very inviting and all amenities were provided. We even had a plug converter on loan from the front desk. Staff were very helpful and efficient. They seemed all very cheerful The hotel is very beuatiful and the space relaxing and romantic. Note to travellers- it is very hot and the temperatures don't cool down until after sunset. The view and location in the Nile was a wonderful experience for us. Sustainability seems to be a good focal point for this hotel, which is good.

Excellent location on the island, very easy to transit with the hotel boat shuttle service.

The hotel was excellent, beautiful room, superb breakfast, and the location made it even more perfect and relaxing. The staff went above and beyond to help us: the airline lost my suitcase and they all helped to get it back to me. I can't recommend this hotel more!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Ashrif served me in the restaurant and Habiba helped at the reception. Both were amazing. The room service also worked very well. I especially enjoyed the swimming pool and the beautiful garden.

Restaurants strangely only average. No bar open late. A bit massive for those who enjoy a more intimate setting.

Excellent facilities, rooms, and good service. Easy and fun access to the city via boats. Beautiful views of the Nile.

We were expecting something slightly run down but in fact we had a lovely spacious room with a fantastic view and a lovely balcony. The boat to and from the island was frequent and it was a beautiful sanctuary in the middle of Aswan.

Top top, wonderful experience and the Panorama restaurant the little cherry on top the cake. Really really recommended.

If you’re looking for one of the best luxury hotels in Aswan, this is the best. Everyone is very friendly and hospitable. There is another big-name 5 star hotel in Aswan, they charge almost triple the price and you get less than this hotel. Save your money and choose Movenpick. It is the superior option. Taysser the guest relations manager went above and beyond during my stay and I would come back to Aswan just to see her.

The room was lovely and the view from our room to the Nile river was very picturesque. We spent a night in Aswan and I’m glad we chose this hotel. The staff is very friendly as well.

Service was a bit hit and miss in the restaurants. Was expensive.

Location is excellent and so was the family villa. Pools were nice too.

Honestly, everything exceeded expectations. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

Miss Esraa went above and beyond to ensure this was an unforgettable experience. Her warmth, dedication, and attention to detail truly made all the difference. The location is absolutely fabulous, and the dinner was nothing short of fantastic. Every moment felt special, highly recommended!

Loved the view of the island with the nobles’ tombs. Suite was perfect in every way. Highly recommended to stay here. Chocolate bar was a plus. The entertainment was nice (I even got to “perform” twice. Playing the drum was a lot of fun as was twirling in the lighted skirt.). The staff is very nice and helpful.

Just a minor inconvenience worth mentioning—the bathroom lights were quite bright, and with a glass panel at the top, the light spilled into the room at night, which made it a bit tricky to use without disturbing others. The shower drainage was also a little slow, but neither issue took away from the overall comfort and enjoyment of our stay.

Our stay at this resort was truly exceptional, and the location played a huge part in that. We were lucky to get Nile view rooms, and waking up to that breathtaking scenery every day made the experience incredibly memorable and well worth it. The sense of peace and serenity from the view alone added so much value to our stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. They were warm, professional, and went out of their way to accommodate our needs—including a late check-out, which we really appreciated. Every interaction we had with them reflected their sincere commitment to hospitality and guest satisfaction. The breakfast spread each morning was impressive, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. What stood out the most was their thoughtfulness in catering to guests with early excursions—particularly for Abu Simbel. They not only offered a 3 AM breakfast service but also provided packed breakfast boxes for those on the go, which was incredibly convenient and thoughtful. The resort itself is tucked away in a location that feels very exclusive and peaceful, far from the noise and crowds, yet it remains accessible. The private ferry service to and from the main parking area was prompt, well-managed, and added a touch of uniqueness to the experience—it made us feel like we were on a private island retreat. After long days of sightseeing and travel, the resort’s spa was a true sanctuary. I had one of the best foot massages I’ve ever experienced—deeply relaxing and much needed after a full day of walking. It was the perfect way to unwind and rejuvenate. Also they have a 4 pm chocolate hour which my kids loved! All in all, our stay here was more than just accommodation—it felt like a peaceful escape that left us refreshed, well cared for, and full of beautiful memories. We would absolutely love to return and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Food in the Egyptian Meze restaurant was absolutely awful. Dry and tasteless, very disappointing. On the plus side breakfast was fabulous.

Pool area and the bar. We were upgraded to a suite which was great. Unfortunately the air conditioning was extremely loud so made sleeping difficult.

Highly recommend this Elephantine Island hotel for its spectacular Nile views. Reserve a full day to enjoy the property and take evening walks around the island—you won't regret it. Staff service was excellent and rooms were modern. Note: The hotel has two buildings with different designs; request the newer section for more contemporary styling if preferred. Aswan offers a refreshing change of pace in Egypt, and this property perfectly captures its tranquil charm.
