We had such an amazing stay, the receptionist and the staff were super helpful, friendly and kind. They always answered all of our questions and gave us suggestions on places to visit and were to eat. For our morning trip they arranged some breakfast to go boxes for us, would recommend Philae Hotel.
From staff most amazing guy Breakfast: awfull no choice / they give you a kid orange juice size / had to leave they bring you not what you want Room: clean / large but ask for toilet paper Need a bit of work / no elevator but where you are situated you have everything at 1 minute away
Pictures are really misleading. If this place is 10$ per night I wouldn't say a word. But they're charging 80 - 100$ per night. Their rooms aren't clean, everything is dusty and old. If you're planning to sleep here good luck, very loud, like there is no windows and you can hear people talking, screaming, car honking etc. ALSO, DON'T book tours through this hotel to any of the historical sites, specially not to ABU SIMBEL. We did it and it took us 5 hours to get there and they only gave us 2 hours to explore these amazing monuments, and then another 5 hours back! Owners should be more considerate of their guest, and show some appreciation and respect by at least having clean rooms and stocked bathrooms(1 towel, 1 soap, and third of toiled paper was waiting for us). All in all place seems like a big SCAM! I hope that they will take negative reviews seriously and do something about it. It's very rude to great people in that kind of environment after long travel days. We booked hotel for 2 nights, but next day soon as we came back from a tour we left and at the reception they tried to stop us and ask us to give them nothing less but "best" review on google and TripAdvisor! Good luck!
Don't be misled - this is a very old Hotel with even older rooms. I don't recommend staying here. We've faced many problems in our first night of stay. One of the beds was unclean, the shower was not working properly and Water was not hot enough. We had to ask for soap as it was missing. Wi-Fi was terrible and the room was quite noisy. There were flies in the room - these are common in Aswan, but here it was more than usual. After a bad night of sleep, breakfast in the morning was also not good. We couldn't imagine staying another night here and had to book another hotel last minute for our 2nd night.
Great price for what you get. For those going to Abu Simbel early morning, the hotel will happily pack breakfast boxes to take with you. Muhammad at reception is very helpful and friendly. It is on a busy street so the rooms are a bit noisy but that's pretty much every single hotel here. Bring earplugs and you will be fine.
