1, location: very good. Not far away from train station (1km) and 400m from KFC (ferry point).
2, Room a bit old
3, no WiFi
4, Breakfast is good.
5, The reception has nearly no clue about the Abu Simbel tour. They will probably offer you private tour but you do have other choice. Try going to Hotel Philae (400m from Hotel Obelisk) and ask the tour there.

Taking safety measures
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.
I was on a business trip for a medical conference, stuff was very helpful in preparing setups for the event , Very friendly stuff , good and comfort rooms with , good food , Great people wth great view
The property is great. We wished we could have stayed longer then just one night to enjoy it completely. However it has great facilities - like tennis courts , 2 pools etc. Only downside , the Gym is not open 24*7.
Just checking out of this nice boutique hotel in Aswan along the river Nile on the corniche opposite to Movenpick resort (which is across the Nile on west bank).
Nice rooms, welcoming staff, great Egyptian and Italian food. Nice Riverside restaurant and shisha cafe. Has a pool though not hot water.
Great place to stay for solo as well as family travellers.
Even though the actual visits to the sites in this tour were good, the experience at this hotel was horrible. After a long day of travel and sightseeing, we were looking forward to checking in to a supposed 5 Star Hotel. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The hotel was run down. It took over an hour to check in and get a room. The room was so hot we had to sleep with the balcony door open. The shower did not have hot water. The limited food was not good with the pizza being nothing more than a heated frozen pizza. Despite having contacted your tour leader, there was no correction of the problem. My advice to you is that if you have the Pyramisa offered as the hotel, CANCEL YOUR TRIP!!!!
