All rooms probably have a Nile view of some sort, but the ones facing East are just superb. The pool area is excellent for lounging as there are both sun and shady areas available in a lovelly setting. Floating in the pool you can look across the Nile towards the Mosque due to the 'infinity' pool edge which faces the... more

We stayed two nights at this property and starting with check-in, we encountered rudeness and indifference by the staff (no "thank you's", no "welcome", no "enjoy your stay") and it continued in every facet throughout our stay (the only exceptions were the bell boys who were all very nice and a woman who sat at the concierge desk). In our... more

A friend and I toured Egypt and our stop in Aswan included a stay at the Movenpick. We arrived at the Movenpick after a flight from Abu Simbel and were very tired. We had taken a 5:00 AM flight from Cairo to Abu Simble toured the temples and then flown to Aswan and were so looking forward to the Movenpick.... more

We only stayed one night here, before we went on the Oberoi Philae, which I'd also highly recommend- the boat and itinerary were fabulous. Anyway, the hotel was lovely, the room was spacious and had views of the Nile. Room service was great too... However, I may be naive, but I was quite surprised how poor Aswan was, especially as... more

Stayed 1 night before our Nile Cruise and we were very pleasantly surprised- the front desk staff gave a very warm welcome and from then on this level of service was continued. Yes the buffet dinner is'nt great (the Italian restaurant is closed for refurb) but overall its a gem considering the nightly rate. The situation on Elephantine Island is... more

Beautiful location, we had a suite which was on two levels, pool excellent, only place to eat was a buffet, food was average to good but the staff appeared to be very poorly trained and service was very poor. One afternoon we had a mini tornado hit the poolside, and the staff ran for cover behind the bar, after it... more

awful food, awful service, awful concierge, ugly decor, unimpressive rooms. the sofitel was under renovation when we went so this was our best option. we had low expectations and we were still disappointed. other than the pretty views, i have nothing to recommend about this hotel. i advise you to either stay at the sofitel or don't stay overnight in... more

Good points for great view, good food, comfortable room, friendly staff. Let down: During my stay every single day there was a problem with the TV channels. It seems that the hotel couldn`t decide on the channels that should be available, it keeps on changing, the TV list was useless. Another weird thing – At any given time there is... more

Only spent one night here before our Nile cruise and wished we could have stayed longer. We actually looked at trying to come back for our final 3 days in Egypt but flights from Sharm el Sheikh to Aswan (via Cairo, Luxor and an 18 hour lay over) were pretty non existant. We walked to the hotel from the train... more
