Wonderful service - guard and porter at the front, efficient front desk, upgraded to a Nile room.
Pool side was great with a view of the Nile, plenty of chairs and fresh towels, although bar staff sometimes a little slow on drink and food refills this could be forgiven
Buffet breakfast had a good selection including eggs made to order, staff very attentive
Dinner selection was OK but again great service
Sehr schönes kleines Hotel. Die Zimmer sind in einem rustikalen Stil, haben aber alles Grundlegende vorhanden.
Einzig die Lage gibt dem Hotel hier deutlich Minuspunkte, da es doch sehr außerhalb und in einer ungeteerte Straße liegt. Ein Uber / Taxi zu bekommen war dementsprechend nicht so einfach.
The hotel is not as good as expected. There’s no Nile view from our room, located at 2nd floor nor from the restaurant, so we didn’t see Nile from the hotel at all.
The service didn’t make us feel welcomed. The receptionist didn’t say hello or welcome, and looked impatient. When we asked if the hotel has first aid kit, as my husband was scratched by a cat and needed sanitary treatment, the receptionist just directly said “No”, although he promised to check and came back to us, he didn’t…
The room is good but the bathroom is quite old and the AC heat function didn’t work - it’s just around 8 degree during night in Aswan.
When I read the reviews, I wasn’t sure if I should stay here—but in the end, I’m so grateful I made this amazing decision. I was traveling alone and prefer a slower pace rather than rushing from one tourist spot to another. I originally booked for three days but ended up extending my stay by one more night because I absolutely loved the environment here.
Transportation:
If you’re using INDRIVE, the correct location to input is Pyramisa Isis Island pick-up point. However, on Google Maps, you can also navigate to Travel with Weso—it’s the same place. From there, wait for the shuttle boat, which comes about every 10 minutes. The ride to the hotel takes around 7 minutes. During my stay, I visited Abu Simbel Temple and Philae Temple, but you need to first take the shuttle boat back to the city to start those trips.
Service:
Huge thanks to Manager Christine. After a 12-hour train ride to get here, her warm smile and kind service made me feel instantly at home. She arranged an early check-in and even upgraded my room to one with a beautiful balcony overlooking the Nile. The front desk staff were also incredibly friendly. The whole experience was so touching that on my last night, I had tears in my eyes as I passed the reception. They noticed, and when I got back to my room, I received a call just to check in on me.
During breakfast, the servers were attentive and often engaged in light conversation, which made the whole experience feel warm and relaxing.
Facilities:
As mentioned in other reviews, the facilities are a bit dated. But in my personal experience, the cleanliness was acceptable. Previously, I stayed in a Pyramid View room at Mena House in Cairo, and honestly, I found the cleanliness to be similar. Perhaps it wasn’t great in the past, but maybe they’ve improved. The breakfast is buffet-style with a modest but sufficient variety: about 5–6 types of bread, a salad section, hot dishes, and beverages.
Sailing Experience:
This was the highlight of my stay, and I highly recommend it. Ask for Captain SAFI—a reliable and professional Nubian sailor. You can find him right next to the hotel’s dock, so there’s no need to go all the way into town to book a sailboat. These boats serve only hotel guests, so the service quality is excellent. Just agree on a price you’re comfortable with—there’s no hard selling.
Even better, they are happy to tailor the experience to your preferences, including timing and what kind of scenery you’d like to see. I love the Nile, so I ended up doing four days of sailing.
• On the first day, I enjoyed a one-hour sunset cruise.
• On the second day, I swam in the shallow waters of the Nile for two hours, then visited a Nubian village, returning to watch the sunset on the river.
• On the third day, Captain SAFI introduced me to beautiful water-bound trees and I swam again.
I later found out they even offer full-day trips where you can drift along the Nile on the sailboat—but sadly, I was about to leave.
These few days were deeply immersive and serene. The gentle, peaceful Nile has become one of the most special and unforgettable memories of my life. I’m especially thankful to the thoughtful Captain SAFI for such a wonderful experience.
⭐️ I hope those of you choosing to stay here will fully experience the magic of the Nile. Wishing you all peace and joy. I truly hope to return again someday.
Excellent room, and very friendly and sincerely caring staff. The Nile view from the balcony is amazing. Monica the Guest relation manager went above and beyond to ensure our stay is at its best. Ibrahim from the breakfast restaurant always prepare our breakfast to go as our excursions were very early. Thank you Tolip staff for making our stay memories unforgettable. THANK YOU.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel en vooral geweldige jongens in het Aqua Park die zorgen voor plezier, actie en veiligheid op de glijbanen. Een ruime keuze bij het ontbijt; er is voor ieder wat wils.
Okay, so the Basma Executive Club was really lovely. The service was genuinely great – everyone was so helpful and friendly, which made a big difference. The facilities were also top-notch. I especially enjoyed relaxing by the pool with its amazing view of the Nile, and the executive lounge was a nice perk. My room was comfortable and had a fantastic view too. Overall, it was a really pleasant and enjoyable stay in Aswan.
Deze B&B is een zeer ambivalente plek en ik weet niet zeker of hij een aanbeveling waard is. De zwakke en sterke punten zijn beide opvallend. Het is perfect voor influencers (de onderstaande foto's zijn allemaal origineel en onbewerkt), maar niet voor mensen die kritisch zijn over de ”accommodatie” zelf. Als je een goedkoper, schoon en vergelijkbaar schilderachtig alternatief kunt vinden, raad ik deze plek aan. Maar als je alleen op zoek bent naar foto's en het landschap, is dit misschien wel de beste optie in Nubian Village.
Ten eerste moet je het volgende kunnen verdragen:
1. De B&B rekent in het hoogseizoen vijfsterrenhotelprijzen, wat absoluut niet concurrerend is.
2. Slechte kamerfaciliteiten: sober meubilair, krappe kamers, onhygiënisch beddengoed en een badkamer met overstromend water en geen afvoer. Er zijn geen slippers, tandenborstels of föhns (bel hiervoor de receptie).
3. Het ontbijtbuffet is ongelooflijk basic en onsmakelijk, in tegenstelling tot sommige recensies over het menu en de onverklaarbare positieve recensies.
4. Je moet de klachten van de chauffeur van de charterauto verdragen, of er meer voor betalen, als je Nubian Village binnenrijdt. Dan midden in de nacht contact opnemen met je hotel en overstappen op een driewieler. Het duurt 15 minuten (een twijfelachtige tijd) om het hotel op de bergtop in de desolate, pikzwarte bergen te bereiken. 5. Andere prijzen waren ongelooflijk onredelijk. We wilden oorspronkelijk een diner reserveren voor ons oudejaarsfeest, maar dat kostte $ 100 per persoon...
Wat hebben we hier aan overgehouden?
1. De adembenemende zonsopgang boven de westoever van de Nijl was zichtbaar vanaf het balkon van onze kamer. We zagen het eerste licht van 2025 om 6:00 uur 's ochtends.
2. De verschillende fotomomenten in de culturele gebouwen van Nubian Village waren fotogeniek.
3. De woestijn naast het hotel was ook fotogeniek.
4. Een unieke culturele ervaring: een groep toeristen die op een rij driewielige motoren de berg op en af hopt.
5. Het hotelpersoneel was erg vriendelijk. Tot slot wil ik nog even benadrukken dat fooi geven in Egypte niet geaccepteerd wordt. Bagageafhandeling is een standaardservice in elk hotel daar, en gedurende ons hele verblijf heeft niemand om fooi gevraagd.
Na ruim een week in Egypte was hier de meest vervelende dagervaring. Kies zorgvuldig, niet aanbevolen, het is te afgelegen en de chauffeur in Zuid-Egypte rekent exorbitante prijzen, wat niet rendabel is.
Het hotel regelde zelf het vervoer naar de luchthaven. Er werd afgesproken dat het 50 dollar zou zijn, maar de kosten voor het inleveren waren nog steeds 75 dollar. De rit duurt 30 minuten.
Het hotel is groot en mooi, maar net als de onvoltooide obelisk in Aswan is dit een onvoltooid hotel. De tv is erg groot en heeft geen signaal, en de kamer is erg groot en er zijn geen pantoffels.
De chauffeur die me naar het hotel bracht, verhoogde ook tijdelijk het tarief met 1.000 Egyptische ponden. Het was erg onaangenaam. Vervolgens bleef hij me lastigvallen, bedreigde mijn persoonlijke veiligheid en checkte vroeg uit.
Er zijn zoveel verschillen tussen het noorden en het zuiden van Egypte. Als je niet de diepte in wilt reizen, is het aan te raden om na Caïro terug te keren naar Luxor. Anders is bijna iedereen van plan te misleiden en te bedriegen, en zullen alle genoemde prijzen veranderen.

GGuest UserOverall, the experience was just okay. We could take the complimentary boat shuttle between the dock and the hotel every day, which was a nice little Nile River cruise. The room facilities were a bit old but clean enough. The pool staff were quite enthusiastic. The only downside was breakfast. Perhaps because it was close to Ramadan, the dining area was overflowing with people. The food selection wasn't extensive, and the quality was just average. You even had to queue for a long time just to get coffee from the machine.
JjzycnThis is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village.
First of all, you have to be able to tolerate:
1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel.
2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide).
3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it.
4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel.
5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person...
What did we get here?
1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am.
2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic.
3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic.
4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles.
5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay.
GGuest UserThe hotel couldn't have been better. It's situated right on the Nile River in Egypt, and I highly recommend trying the Egyptian cuisine at the hotel restaurant. For around 50,000 KRW, a couple can enjoy a very satisfying meal. The accommodation itself has a cozy, almost guesthouse-like atmosphere.
GGuest UserOut of the five hotels I stayed at in Egypt, this one wasn't cheap, but the experience was just okay. The photos made it look great, but the hotel itself isn't that big. It's located on a hill next to the Old Cataract, so walking back means a steep climb. I even had an unreliable driver try to charge extra just because of the hill – unbelievable! 😓 The front desk staff's attitude was so-so, and they gave me a ground-floor room. I seriously suspect the housekeeping staff tampered with my foundation bottle. The cap was open, and a few drops had spilled out. The more I thought about it later, the more I realized it definitely wasn't my doing. If you're staying here, I'd recommend keeping your personal items locked in your luggage! The buffet restaurant's food was mediocre, but the coffee was decent.
GGuest UserThe hotel was excellent, very nice, clean and beautifully furnished. As for the services, there are literally uneducated people in the tourism industry working at the reception, such workers should not have contact with the client at all or should undergo training. On the contrary, the staff in the restaurant was very nice. Everything was great except for the staff at the reception.
GGuest Usersuper friendly staff, one of the reception, dina, was really friendly and happy to help with anything. she gave me her personal whatsapp number and i can just reach out for whatever needs i have and she is always happy to help
hotel itself is beautiful and comfortable to stay in
highly recommended
HHey-tripThe stretch of the Nile in Aswan is arguably the most beautiful, and the hotel's legendary status goes without saying, having inspired both the novel and film ”Death on the Nile.” The hotel has a very bright and airy feel overall, perhaps due to the intense sunshine outside; Aswan in September gets sun every day. The hotel itself is a special attraction.
Security: Strict security at the entrance. The hotel truly feels like a world unto itself.
Food: Breakfast has a good selection of cold dishes, and the service is excellent. The 1902 restaurant's style is a must-see.
Room: Large balcony with views of the Nile and desert. The design features a distinct North African style.
Service: I accidentally scalded myself with hot water in the evening, and the hotel promptly and professionally sent medicine twice, followed up on my condition, and offered further advice. It turned out that the medication and dressings provided by the hotel were the most suitable and highest quality for the rest of my trip. I sincerely thank all the staff who provided service. I believe one of the hallmarks of a truly 'good' hotel is its ability to handle customer emergencies like this. Thumbs up to the entire hotel.
If you're not driving, exploring Aswan's attractions can be a bit challenging, but the hotel's concierge staff provides helpful advice.
Overall, everything was excellent.
GGuest UserThe hotel is right by the Nile River. There is a large area full of his homes. It is a bit like a more distinctive homestay. It is in Nubian style, and there are many distinctive decorations in the room.
The hotel is located in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is deserted and remote, so it is also very quiet. The hotel we booked to pick us up from Cairo to Aswan was charged $55. It took about 40 minutes to drive. I felt cheated. In fact, you can call a taxi directly from the airport. It is not as chaotic as it is said on the Internet.
The breakfast in the hotel is not bad. The fried egg is very delicious. There is a waiter who is Nubian. He is very nice to me. He will take the initiative to help me carry things and remind me to pay attention to the steps. It is the most sincere and friendly service I feel in my trip to Egypt. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask his name. When I left, I wanted to find him to tip but couldn't find him.
GGuest UserOkay, so the Basma Executive Club was really lovely. The service was genuinely great – everyone was so helpful and friendly, which made a big difference.
