Daraw Hotels

"The staff were exceptionally polite, friendly and attentive, always going out of their way to ensure guests felt comfortable. A great example of this was when they kindly prepared a packed breakfast for us as we had to leave at 4am for the Abu Simbel tour. The food was excellent, with both breakfast and dinner offering a wide variety of delicious options, much of it traditionally cooked in tagine pots. The hotel also stands out for its eco friendly approach, using solar energy to provide hot water. Located in a traditional Nubian village, the hotel offers a genuinely authentic atmosphere. The area is filled with stalls selling local crafts, souvenirs and spices, and it felt incredibly safe, with many vendors even leaving their goods outside overnight highlighting the safety and honesty of the local people.

"Wonderful location and good service. But rooms should be cleaner."

"Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and had a wonderful stay. We were upgraded from a standard room with a garden view to a suite with a patio overlooking the Nile, which was a lovely, newly-renovated room with a stunning view. Very clean, air conditioning worked great, black-out shades. Breakfast buffet was solid and had a lot of different options (e.g., omelet station, yogurt bar, fruit, some hot Egyptian dishes, rolls and pastries, meats/cheeses, pancakes, etc.). Dinner was a la cart and was delicious. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating, especially the restaurant staff. The car transportation to/from Aswan airport was a bit expensive relative to normal transportation prices in this area at $35, but the driver was great and on-time. I'm not sure how the garden rooms are at this property, but I was very happy with my stay!"

"Staff were pleasant and helpful but the cleanliness of the hotel leaves a lot to be desired. Something had been spilt on the floor in the hall and was there for the entire 2 days we were at the hotel. The pool chairs were dirty. Breakfast buffet was fine. The evening menu items were better than the evening buffet. The hotel location is close to the river cruises but it is not a nice area to walk. "

"AC in rooms was efficient, so was the hot water and bathroom. Room cleanliness was adequate. Bathroom amenities may be improved with a few more hooks. Breakfast could be enhanced with local lava beans and bread or mollusks and local cheeses. The cold cut in breakfast menu is a waste. Otherwise omelettes were tasty"

"A great location inn the middle of the Nile a 2 minute boat ride from the main waterside street. Watching the feluccas and water traffic away from the city noise was relaxing."

"Beautiful place, a bit hard to get to with lots of dust. You need to be adventurous - not for older more sensitive people. Hotel very colorful and beautiful, breakfast best I’ve had in Egypt. Overall good experience. "

"Great staff, the hotel is a short drive from all ppints of interest. I want to especially thank Reham from the concierge, she was excellent and had great communication. She made the stay very smooth and relaxed. "

"Amazing resort! We really enjoyed the amenities. Great food, great people, amazing gym along the Nile river. Over all hospitality is amazing. Thank you to the resort staff. "
