Top Philae Temple Hotel Reviews

Pyramisa Island Hotel Aswan

Pyramisa Island Hotel Aswan

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a wonderful hotel. Nothing negative to say about it!"

Kato Waidi Nubian House

Kato Waidi Nubian House

10/10 Excellent

"We really loved our experience at Kato Waidi! The staff were so kind and helpful, the food was delicious, and the location was both peaceful (it’s right on the river!), as well as interesting (it’s right beside a Nubian craft market). Our only challenge was that the AC had a hard time cooling our room, but it was also 117 degrees so I think any AC would have struggled :)"

Obelisk Nile Hotel Aswan

Obelisk Nile Hotel Aswan

10/10 Excellent

"This is hands down the best value in Aswan if you want the feel of a luxury hotel at a reasonable price. The rooms are not huge but extremely well designed and tastefully decorated. We booked a garden view but got upgraded to a river view room, which was great because the views of the Nile from this hotel are peaceful and gorgeous. We will always book a river view in the future. The staff at this hotel are phenomenal! Very friendly and very helpful. In particular, we want to compliment our dinner waiter Hadra , who went above and beyond to make sure our meals were enjoyable and special. Other memorable staff are Farouk, the front desk assistant/porter and Asma, one of the room cleaning staff. Both made us feel very welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant is open 24 hours, which makes eating very convenient! The food varies depending on the chef working that day, but I had the best lamb tajine I have ever eaten at this hotel. The location is fabulous—easy access to the museums of Aswan, boat rides, etc. Since it’s right by the Nile (literally) you can easily escape the bustle of town here and really relax. If you walk into the town directly across the street you will quickly be in a bazaar that goes on for several blocks. Don’t be afraid to bargain at the bazaar and definitely check out the spice shops. When we return to Aswan we will definitely stay at Nile Obelisk again! "

Eco Nubia Ecolodge

Eco Nubia Ecolodge

8/10 Good

"Amazing location with fabulous views of Philae temple. Staff were friendly and extremely accommodating. In fact, we were the only guests that night so they offered us a room from an adjoining property that had air conditioning since most rooms only have fans. Views from the room overlooking the lake were gorgeous. The breakfast was wonderful with generous portions of delicious Nubian dishes. The hotel provides boat transport to and from the hotel which makes things very easy. This was a great place to relax for a day away from the continuous hustle and bustle of Aswan. It was a memorable experience."

Dolty Kato Nubian house

Dolty Kato Nubian house

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed just one night here but wish it was longer. Beautifully decorated room, with a wonderfully comfortable bed looking directly out onto the river Nile. We enjoyed sitting out and enjoying the view across the river and watched the sun rise the following morning. The staff could not have been more helpful and did everything they could to help us. The food was wonderful - we had tagine and it was up there with the best we’ve eaten. We really could not fault Dolty Kato Nubian House and would highly recommend it."
