We got off a cruise ship, went to Abu Simbal and were dropped off at the hotel around 1. We were able to check in early, have lunch at the hotel restaurant and immediately go to the Nubian Museum, and the 2-3 hours was perfect for the museum (which was a 5 minute walk down the hill). The restaurant was good, basic selection of Egyptian food, and importantly, they were fast. In the evening, my daughter tried the pool but decided it was too cold (it was Dec 30, 2020) so they went to the room and I played on my phone while enjoying the view from the restaurant area. You do get a good view of the river and the desert on the other side. In the morning, we had the hotel breakfast (which had a decent selection of hot and cold options). Then I packed while my wife took a Careem (like Uber) to the shopping area near where the cruise ships dock. We considered going to the Nubian Village before our 3 pm flight, but decided to take it easy. The room itself was fine, although the beds were small. We never got a 3rd bed (roll out or otherwise) for our daughter and she had to share with my wife. I found the door handles to be unusual and difficult to close, but the hotel was nearly empty anyway so we were not worried.

I found this to be the case in every hotel that I stayed in in Egypt, including the Jaz Aquamarine, Ramses Hilton and the Stienburger: The shower don't have closable doors, just half walls. If you are not careful (and I mean really really careful) you are going to get the bathroom floor wet, which means getting your socks wet when you go to the bathroom late at night. Not a serious problem, and not unique to this hotel, just be aware.

Nothing went wrong, so I have nothing bad to report. Decent view, average room, no problems to speak of. If I were to stay in Aswan again, I'd probably stay closer to the cruise ship port, I hear that the Aswan museum is great, and I think that the Movenpik tower looks like it has a better view.More
