This review will sound like I am exaggerating, but I am not. Please read on, as I also give some advice regarding a short stay in Aswan. This is a budget hotel, but you should expect nothing but the best in service! We just returned from a 2 week trip through Egypt, and stayed in a wide range of hotels-... more

We have stayed at this hotel with our grandson on several occasions. It is always a very enjoyable experiance. The hotel is located on a quiet island with a regular shuttle boat service. It has several restaurants to choose from of various styles from Italian to Ala Cart. The food is of a very good quality and great value for... more

Very good, except....! The spray they use almost every night to ward off the bugs is dangerous for your health. They should be told that if they absolutely need to use this, it should be done in the middle of the night and not evenings when people are eating their meal, outside!!! The fog clouds emitted from these spray machines... more

We have just returned from a week staying at the Movenpick Hotel in Aswan. I was concerned about a week prior to going as our travel agent advised us that there was building work going on but it shouldn't disturb us! This was quite accurate. There is renovation work happening but apart from one night when we heard some hammering... more

I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews on here - we have stayed here at Christmas for four years running and are going back this year - we love the place! The siuation on the island is great, and the trips back and forth to Aswan town always interesting. The island itself is green and quiet, with superb views... more

it was a wonderful place to stay out on an island where you could only get there by boat. The boats run frequently. Views over Aswan and the Nile beautiful. We had lunch at the swimming pool and dinner at the hotel and both meals were lovely. Swimmimg pool area superb.Everything was of a very high standard of a very... more

In my review last year I said this place would be amazing once the renovations were completed. I was right! I regret that I only stayed two nights. I won't make that mistake again. The hotel grounds are still pristine and, upon entering the main building, I was pleasantly surprised by the new lobby. It is top notch and surpassed... more

Basma Hotel

Sep 9, 2008

I completely disagree with the bad reviews of this hotel, I recently spent a couple of nights in this hotel as part of a tour, this was one of three hotels I stayed in and was the one with the least stars (the other 2 being 5 stars), however this was nicest hotel of the lot beating the Sherraton. The... more

We stayed at the Movenpick for two separate nights, with a one night stay at Abu Simbel in the middle. The first night we stayed, we were upgraded to superior rooms, which were among the most comfortable and luxurious rooms I've ever stayed in. Although I'd booked a single room for my daughter, she was given a double room next... more

We expected much worse than we got, based on the reviews we read. Our tour operator even warned us that the hotel was not as nice as the one we had stayed at in Cairo (Le Meridien Pyramids). The fact is, the Isis Island is fine, not great, but fine. The grounds are very nice, the lobby area large and... more

Basma Hotel

Sep 3, 2008

Our fisit to the Basma was to be only a three day chill out before joining a Nile Cruise. it proved to not only be that but much more. On arrival at 7.30am, we were immediately allocated a large double room with a balony with wonderful views over the Nile, city and surrounding countryside. We found the staff to be... more

A truly 5* hotel. We were unsure of quality since we haven't visited Aswan for 10 years (normally stayed at Old Cataract Hotel every year). We now have a young family, so cleanliness, quality of food and pool etc very important. This hotel met all of our expectations and more. Quite simply, the Hotel staff made our holiday - previous... more

I only used this hotel for a day before catching a train back to Cairo, but was glad when the time was up and we were ready to go. The hotel is in desperate need of updating and has nothing more going for it than the view and pool area. The prices are out of line for the quality of... more

Stayed here as a two day break from the bustle of Luxor. Really nice friendly staff, very welcoming place, lovely pool area. My wife and I really enjoyed the hotel. Would certainly make a return visit. The peacefull surroundings are great, with all the bustle of Aswan only a three minute ferry ride away if you want it. more

Sit, sip some strong, sweet mint tea, nibble on some bakhlava or the excellent sandwiches and soak in the magical sight of faluccas with billowing sails floating down the Nile. more

It was quite some time ago that my better half and myself stayed here but i would doubt it has changed at all in that time. Amazing place,although the rooms were not the most comfy the ambiance of this hotel more than made up for that. The restaurant was like walking back in time,you can imagine people like Sir Winstone... more

a.c. did not work and we called reception. It was about 100 degrees F that day. Sent someone to fix it and he just cleaned the vents. Called again and he came and turned the dials and left. And he was their "engineer". Called again and asked to move rooms. They said no. When we moved the beds to try... more
