I am a regular customer of this hotel I have been at this hotel also a couple of times in the past and I always choose this hotel in Aswan because if it's great location. Certainly! Here’s a rephrased version of your text: "This time, I was thrilled to stay in a room on the fifth floor in the renovated section of the hotel. The room was brand new, and I was delighted with the updated facilities. I was given a room on the quiet, back side of the hotel, overlooking the Nile River and the mountains, which made my stay exceptionally enjoyable." Let me know if you’d like further adjustments!

Excellent food - everything is made fresh from the ingerndients grown at the garden which you can actually go and pick your fresh prodduce from. I definitely had the best breakfast in Egypt over here, and I've been around Egypt. Everything down to the bread was made from the fresh produce. The location is gorgeous, a little island just before the beginning of the city before it gets busy with other buildings and structures - this makes you feel like you're actually somewhere remote and serene. The host, what an excellent mind and vibe, really makes you feel welcome and like home. The design of the rooms, the shared spaces, everything was well thought out and made with purpose.

An amazing hotel next to the river. The room was clean and tidy. We had the number 1 room for 3 people . It was a big room with 3 windows with an amazing view (the front rooms have also a small balcony to sit outside) The breakfast was nice and the owner also suggested if one day had to leave early to prepare our breakfast for take away.

If you are looking for the quietest and most wonderful place on the Nile in Aswan, do not hesitate to choose this hotel. It is much more wonderful than the pictures, with fantastic views of the Nile and the Temple of Philae on Hesa ​​Island. I would like to thank the reception staff, Nirvana, Nardine, and Andrew, for their warm welcome and attention to the guests, explaining all the details upon their arrival and providing all the facilities, especially transportation to and from the island until their departure. The level of cleanliness in the rooms and the restaurant is excellent and the quality of the food is high.

Opal was one, if not the, best hotels we used. amazing location, directly on the shore of the Nile, with a lovely restaurant Terrance on its shore. the hotel itself is on a very attractive tourist friendly strip on Aswan. Super clean and very well kept, while maintaining its Nubian character. very comfortable. The staff are absolutely amazing, and I can sincerely call them friends after the very pleasant and generous hospitality they shown us. They went way above duty to keep us comfortable happy. Very helpful. I honestly can not commend highly enough. I rarely go online to rate places, but I felt obliged for Opal Hotel family. Keep up the good work guys.

The location of this hotel is unbeatable. It sits high above Lake Nasser with beautiful panoramic views, and it’s only a two-minute ride to the Abu Simbel Temple entrance. The hotel even provides free golf buggies, which made visiting the temples so easy and relaxed. The staff were absolutely wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely looked after. Our room was spacious, spotless, and elegantly decorated ( we also got a free upgrade). The bed was extremely comfortable, and small touches like toweling robes, complimentary drinking water, and a turn-down service made it feel really special. Everything looked brand new. The covered seating area outside our room was a lovely place to sit and read while looking out over the lake, and at night we also sat out there viewing the night sky ( great place for star gazing). The infinity pool was another highlight – the perfect place to cool off and take in the incredible views across the lake. The restaurant chef came out to meet us personally and cooked a delicious evening meal, which was such a thoughtful touch. For breakfast, we ordered fresh omelettes, which went perfectly with the selection of pastries, breads, yogurt, honey, and coffee. Staying overnight rather than doing a day trip was by far the best decision we made. It gave us the chance to enjoy the temples peacefully after the day visitors had gone and to return at sunrise, which was an unforgettable experience

    it’s in a very central place, down stairs you can find the market, and it’s also not far from the Nile river. the room is big, the staffs are nice, we all feel safe and comfortable here. Also the car service from this hotel is nice. The car looks new and clean, the drivers are professional and won’t take us to the unwanted shopping stores . Who I want to mention is Aladin, he has charge of reception. He is very professional and patient, even when we have some misunderstandings. On one occasion, we lost a sunglasses in the travel bus, he helped us to make a phone call with the local driver and found out a simple but perfect solution to get the glasses back very quickly. we all thanked him. In the future if I take my parents to Aswan and have a travel, I will choose Cleopatra hotel again ;)))

    We had an awesome stay at Nubian Lotus. It is a very beautiful and boutique guesthouse on elephantine island. We stayed 3 nights and had a great time. The guesthouse is directly at the Nile with a beautiful view of botanical island. It is very peaceful and rural there. After a couple of days in Cairo it was like heaven. Clean air and silence, except for animal noises which took us at the first night a little getting used to, but on the second day it was a welcome noise. Much better than noisy cars. But for those with a light sleep earplugs might be a good choice. We were also very grateful for the breakfast to go. When we had our trip to Abu Simbel, which started at 6 am, Marta prepared a very delicious breakfast to go. Just need to inform early enough. We enjoyed our stay a lot!!

Our flight arrival time was 8:30 a.m. and I had ask the hotel if they had a storage room were we could leave our luggage while our room became available. The hotel reply was quick and accommodating. To our surprise, once we arrived at the hotel, they had a room ready for us. We were so exhausted and happy to find a place to lay our head. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

    Visit the temples in the afternoon (after 03.00pm) because the is nobody (except perhaps some extroverted sceaming chinese girls - but once they are gone). Yes, it´s hotter than in the morning and the light is not prefect. but you will have the temple for yourself and you will be able to make perfect photos from inside.

    The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.

    The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing. I stayed in the houseboat for 5 days with my mother. We both feel like we gained a friend in Abdu and hope to see him again one time. He is so kind and caring! Not only did he help us arrange everything in terms of tours (to Filae, Abu Simbel, a Nubian village, the botanical garden and more) and activities (Falluca sailing, Zaraha sand meditation, bird watching trip, exploring the Souk, swimming in the Nile, transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Kom Ombo and more), he also helped us with his second smaller boat to get everywhere, get local products for local prices, assimilate to the local culture by clothing and customs, cooked for us (he also made sure all food was well washed), helped us donate goods and clothes to the local school, and assisted us in getting tickets for the night train from Luxor to Caïro, ATM withdrawals and simcards). We truly think he has a heart of gold and works with honesty not soley for money. His houseboat has everything you need for an authentic stay. Our cabin was spacious enough for the two of us and had an amazing view over the Elephantine Island. The terraces was facing the beautiful botanical garden on Kitchener Island. Due to the placement of the boat you have some shade in the morning and you can enjoy the sunset in the evening. If you look for a real experience and want to dive in the culture and day to day livestyle on the Nile, the boat is definitely something for you. We are truly greatful we’ve met Abdu and can definitely recommend a stay with him on his lovely houseboat. We hope to see him again one day!

    From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced not just as a guest, but as family. The warmth and genuine hospitality of the entire household created a peaceful refuge that allowed me to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what matters. I especially appreciated the loving way they cared for their children, the heartfelt conversations, and their openness to cultural exchange. The meals were nourishing, the environment was clean and safe, and the small, thoughtful gestures—like helping with errands or offering fruit—left a deep impression on me. I was also moved by their humility, sincerity, and the quiet strength with which they manage the responsibilities of life.

    The bed was super comfortable and the balcony view of the nile was beautiful during sunrise. Hotel can offer roundtrip shared van to Abu Simbel and they provided a packed breakfast. Location is set to more calm side of Aswan blending with the locals. ATMs are nearby as well as few restaurants and many local shops. You can also take the boat for a trip or to the other side of Aswan. Aircon and hot shower were working fine.

    We spent a lot of our time just enjoying Elephantine island, which is quite, safe, and very relaxing, compared to much of the rest of what we experienced in Egypt. There is certainly enough to explore in Aswan that one could easily spend several days.

    Abu Simbel is truly breathtaking.

    Abu Simbel is truly breathtaking. We visited around noon on a blessed day during Ramadan, so there weren't many tourists. At times, it felt like we had the entire sites to ourselves. You can walk or take a transport cart to the sites.

    Allow at least 2 full days for Aswan region.

    Allow at least 2 full days for Aswan region. It s a great stopover for a break after the madness of the tourist sites. The Nubian village ( with the colored walls, where all the motor boats end up) on the other side of the town has been a place where i could have made local friends if I stayed longer. Of course the money making is also there in the mindset, and it s over touristic but you experience the vib of a local village if you stay overnight there. I suggest Ekadolli guesthouse for location outside the touristic area, still close enough to the village, up a hill offering nice view at the Nil. Nebro Guesthouse is better if you wish to wake up right beside the river, in the heart of the village but quiet enough.

    In my case it was a check on my to do list.

    In my case it was a check on my to do list. Went from Luxor day one, over night in Abu Simbel town and day 2 visit the tempel for 2 hours, then back to Luxor, a trip 2 x 500 km. Interesting to have seen, impressive story!
