Aswan Hotel Guide - Monastery of St. Simeon hotels in Aswan, Egypt.

"Very beautiful hotel, staff are very kind and accommodating. The food is absolutely delicious. It should be noted, however, that from Aswan airport to the property will run you 900-950 EGP as of April 2026. The property is located at the top of a mountain and is very difficult to get to, and taxi drivers/hotel shuttle take advantage of this. It was not a nice surprise after getting off the plane and trying to find a taxi for over an hour. Hotel is very nice, but I would recommend they fix the showers to not leak so much water. There are also quite a number of birds which make the balconies dirty, which is unavoidable unfortunately. Overall, if this is what you are looking for, considering the isolated area, beautiful scenery, and price, it was a nice experience. "

"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!"

"Beautiful location with easy access to the ferry terminal. We were met by Gamal and brought across to the island on his boat. From the moment we met him Gamal went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed and more. We learnt much from him about the Nubian culture and people and we have great respect for him. We would lovee to return again. The next day we hired Gamals Felucca and spent a wonderful day and night sailing the Nile. Breakfast was delicious and there are great restaurants for the evening just next door to Ana-Ka too."

"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."

"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. "

"Felt very private and the property has fantastic views of Aswan from up top. That said, it also means it's a bit less convenient to get into town especially by foot. The property is also connected to the main Basma hotel slightly down hill which is bigger and busier, so that's both a private and a potential issue for some. But because the Exec Club is more private, service was more attentive and privacy away from heavy traffic was better."

"This is by far the WORST Hotel I have ever stayed in my entire life! Location is scary, rooms we terrible and service was horrible! This hotel needs to be SHUT DOWN! "

"Very helpful staff. Good location and easy acrss to activities"
