Hotels Near New High Dam watching in Aswan

Pros The hotel facilities were absolutely beautiful with an amazing view. Traditional Nubian style house. Every corner makes you want to capture the space. We had a rocky start but the hotel staff tried to redeem themselves. We lost an apple watch which the hotel helped us get back ASAP before we reached Luxor. We are grateful for this. Cons Awful communication and hospitality. We were the only guests in the entire resort because of low season but still received shitty service. The hotel is in a secluded place making it difficult to reach.It’s on top of a mountain on a dusty rocky road. The hotel offers a tuktuk. We did our research prior and contacted the hotel to arrange getting to the hotel from the village and check in since we knew we’d land in the AMs. We were ignored. We arrived at the village meeting point at 1:45 but only ended up getting to our rooms around 3:50am because reaching the hotel via call and WhatsApp was so difficult. The staff had no sense of urgency. We were frustrated and anxious in this wellness resort. Our taxi driver refused to take us up the mountain and the tuktuk refused to take us because of our many bags (which is understandable). I’m very disappointed in the service and I know the staff has lots of potential to improve on their service delivery. The hotel needs to be more cognisant of their customer service and guests hospitality. Staying here was stressful. Recommended if you want aesthetic vibes,a beautiful picturesque hotel with good breakfast. Don’t recommend if you prioritise great guest services, comfortability and peace.

Its a giant hotel complex, and located in the south of the town centre, but love it because it was during their supposed off-season and they surprised us with an upgraded to a huge 2-bedroom corner suite! To say they did everything to make us feel welcome and helpful would be an understatement! From evening falukas and day-tour drivers to Unfinished Obelisk and Abu Simbel and even our last minute on-the-spot 3N2D Nile Cruise to Luxor! We made some great friendships and won't forget them! Thank you Aswan!! Negative: The evening menu..but I chalk that up to being the off-season, and not effort on the staffs part..because they were all helpful. Negative: No place to make small change with large bills or currency.

Magical property in magical land. Extremely professional and accommodating staff and service. The ground floor spa equally impressive where I enjoyed full body massage on consecutive days. One small issue with thermostat was dealt with promptly and to full satisfaction. I don’t believe you can improve upon The Old Cataract in any stay in Aswan..

Living on the island, very quiet and very convenient, the exit is KFC. The most important thing is clean. Air conditioning and cooling are good, the terrace has a good view. Close to the nubian dreams restaurant, it is convenient to eat local food. nubian dreams restaurant is one of the local delicious restaurants.

The Hotel just went through a name change back in October 2019 as per management. We stayed in one of the three rooms near the pool area, which made it very convenient to access the terrace, pool, and appreciate the overview of the Nile. The facilities are very nice and well kept. The room was very spacious with a couple of things to be improved, The shower drain required unclogged since it almost over flooded and the AC was inoperative, thankfully temps in March respect at night and it wasn't required, and also noise was a problem at night since people are allowed in the pool area till the late hours. The staff was very hospitable and helped us plan a trip to Luxor with stop in a few temples.

Amazing service from the staff. We were welcomed with cold fresh drinks and hot towels walking into the hotel lobby. Bags were taken to the room and we were able to tour the hotel prior to checking in. Once checked in Woel Farook made sure our stay was pleasant. He gave us a great view of the Nile. Also Mahmoud at the pool and bar took care of us every day there. The kids loved him as he entertained the 2 year old and 10 month old. The pool service is excellent. Can’t wait to go back. I definitely recommend staying at Movenpick.

This hotel is located in downtown Aswan close to everything. We were in one of their suite rooms that had 2 rooms inside with a bathroom with a huge jacuzzi. The staff was friendly. Check in was easy and the breakfast was excellent. We had the amazing view of the nile river and the city. Will surely stay here again when we come to Aswan

Our first impression was great. Beautiful lobby & wonderful staff. We were sent across the driveway to rooms on the Nile. The view was great, but the constant honking of horns due to the road being very close, was not so great. The Wifi worked very well. There was a lot of storage in the room. And room service was excellent & food was delicious. We even got a box lunch for breakfast the next morning & it was stuffed full of good things. The furniture was very old but that is not an issue if all else is well. However, the beds were the hardest I have ever slept on, with high pillows that felt like a full bag of flour. And then there was the dirt. I am not known for my house-keeping skills, but this dropped below my standards. Dirt on the bathroom door made me want to not touch it. The walls had dirt & stains on them. Some things were broken & holes were just left in the walls. The curtains were not clean. I felt dirty every time I touched something. The bedding seemed to be clean, though. Thankfully, we were only there for 1 night, so we let it go, as it was booked for us by tour company. we would not stay there again, despite all of the good things.
