My son and I had a wonderful time at Philae Hotel. The staff and management are lovely. They arranged for us excursions on the Nile using local boats and were very helpful in giving advice. Our room looking over the Nile was very comfortable and nicely decorated with Arabic calligraphy prints on the curtains. Thank you for making our stay in Aswan memorable.

Lovely place to stay at

This is a local hotel so remember this when booking it. There is no elevator, wifi only in the lobby and breakfast packs are given if you have an early departure. Yes, the breakfasts are 90%carbs but hat is true for most breakfast packs given in Egypt. Our room faced an alley that had a view of rubbish (common in Egypt) and a few shops, comfortable bed and a bit dusty.

Fine for one night

Stayed here 1 night on an Intrepid tour (Egypt Experience). No elevator . No Wi-Fi signal in my room so I had to go down the corridor to the stairwell to connect (slow speed). No toiletries provided & the soap dispensers on the bathroom walls were empty. Apart from those things no issues.

1 night, some minor issues

Not sure how they even have this rating. If you are visiting as a family with kids pls AVOID this hotel. Doesn't have anything except NILE view (which you may or may not get). We were given a stuffy room on other side with no sunlight.

Overall this hotel has NO wifi, NO elevator, NO sunlight, NO dinner arrangements and most importantly NO CARD MACHINE!!

Toile and rooms are so congested and tiny!!

AVOID this place!

Simple hotel on the Nile. No elevator and no wifi except supposedly in the lobby. The room was ok and the nicest thing about the hotel interior are the charming light fixtures. Checkin was easy. Electricity was not working for a few hours but was restored thankfully. 
The front desk gentleman arranged a taxi to the airport and had our breakfast boxes (90% carbs) waiting for us. Overall a good one night stay for the price with a central location and pretty Nile views.

Good not great. No wifi and for a bit no electricity.

Positives of this hotel: reasonable cost, friendly reception, updated bathroom, good location.
Negatives: no elevator and many stairs, weak internet, room badly in need of updating.
Perhaps an unusual situation, but the power was out for most of the day of our check in. 

A little overrated, but pleasant stay

We were really impressed with this hotel. We got upgraded to a suite :)
Our room was lovely, breakfast was tasty and there was a crib for our baby which was perfect. Definitely recommend staying here!

Lovely stay

This hotel is centrally located and a good value. Our room had a kitchen area and strangely a full size refrigerator that did not work. There was a small refrigerator that did the job instead. The room also had a washer which is a nice touch.  The hotel is located in a busy street so expect some noise but it is also nice to walk out your door and everything is close by. We did not try the breakfast- it consisted of a hard boiled egg and a yogurt that you pay for. Hotel personal was helpful and arranged for a driver who we loved.  We recommend staying here if you are looking for a good value for a few nights.

Clean hotel in Aswan

Excellent place, enjoyed our stay. We were able to walk around the area and enjoy dinner not too far from the hotel. Also, great views of the Nile river! Thank you again for the friendly staff and hosts!

Very nice and cozy place, friendly staff and in a central location overlooking the Nile

We booked this hotel sort of last minute and paid about $190 for two nights (3 adults). Arriving for check-in around 12-1pm, our room took about 15 minutes to get ready. Have your passports ready at check-in. This hotel only takes cash payment. So be sure to have your EGP ready when you arrive. There is no elevator. Luckily we were on the second floor so it wasn't too bad. Upon arrival a staff member brought our bags up, but at checkout we had to carry them down. We booked a room for 3 adults, but the standard sleeps 4. So a little added space. When you enter, there is a room with 2 twin beds and tv. The tv never turned on, but its okay since we were out most of the day. To the left there is another room with a king size bed. Continue forward and there's the restroom. There was a plate of welcome cookies for us and wrapped with plastic over it. That was a nice touch to have after traveling all morning. On a small table just outside the bathroom was a tea kettle and tea/sugar since case you wanted to make something hot to drink. We never used it, but nice to have. The bathroom is pretty basic with no hairdryer and only a 3 in 1 liquid soap option they refill daily. This is used as soap, shampoo, and conditioner. I'd pack my own if possible. The shower is a tub with a half covering so be careful not to go too wild or the water could spill out on the floor. The water never got hot. Seemed to stay lukewarm. The toilet is in a tight spot next to the shower and they provide toilet paper daily. There is a small window above that draws in all the noise from the street. However, if we kept the bathroom door closed, then it blocked the sound. The AC worked great even though they made noise at night. I think after a long day of tours, you'll fall asleep and not notice sound. The only major problem here was the lack of good WiFi. This may be a problem in Egypt overall? Regardless, it was really spotty and might take forever to sent a message. Forget about uploading videos to your social media. haha 

The front desk staff is always smiling and ready to help. We had a 4am tour pick up and informed them we would miss the free breakfast. So they prepared nice to go boxes for us in the morning. Boxes include bread, date jam, honey, a juice box, and banana. The breakfast buffet doesn't start until 7am I think? Its just one level up from the front desk. They have plenty of seating up there and a restroom. The hotel sits just opposite the Nile. So you can walk across and get a felucca ride across if needed. The market is just around the corner. So you can buy bottled water if needed. (The hotel might provide 1 bottle per guest per day I think?) It is a short walk to McDonalds too if you are craving something American. The the 'Salah El Din' restaurant is on a boat along the Nile. Close walk and good food/service. Head further south and you'll find the restaurant Makani. If you are looking for something fancier, then go further past Makani to the Sofitel Hotel. 

Overall, basic and clean. Not bad for a short stay and if you plan to be out all day. Sits on the east bank of the Nile so it is easy for tour pick ups.
