Our very spacious room on the 5th floor was most satisfactory. Located in the wing closest to the Old Cataract Hotel, we had good views into the latter's gardens and especially also over the small islands in the Nile. You just have to overlook the ugliness of the New Cataract Hotel. Walking into town you immediately come to the very... More

We stayed at the Basma Hotel in Aswan on Feb 9/13 while visiting Abu Simbel.The hotel is old,dirty,dingy,and depressing.Our room had a vase of dead flowers on the bureau,dirt in the mini fridge and the bathroom smelled so badly of mould it made me nauseous.Our "king bed" was two twin beds place horizontally together causing a space at the lower...

We stayed here three nights. The staff is very friendly. The pool looks fabulous but is ice-cold. ( mind you we stayed her in December!). The hotel is nicely situated opposite the Nubish museum (be aware they are on strike currently) at a hill at the end of the village. The view over the Nile and village is excellent. Right... More

There are many things I liked at the Basma Hotel. It's location is great - just up the street from the Nubian Museum and the Old Cataract Hotel. The building is constructed to withstand about any force nature could send against it. However, the rooms are dated and some basic amenities were missing from the rooms. I was surprised that... More

The hotel provides complimentary mini-bus service to downtown. Our room was clean and well maintained with a small fridge and... More

I spent one night at the Basma on business in the off season. Hotel was pretty basic, and the bed wasn't very comfortable. I was a bit annoyed that they provided neither bar soap nor shampoo, and only had a liquid soap dispenser on the wall. Not sure who thought this was a good idea, but it's not. Shower was... More

The hotel looks amazing. Great views, nice looking pool. Service is pretty average, food is not great. Beds are hard, but normal for Egypt. Hardly anyone else there when we stayed so all the staff just stood around staring at us while we ate - very uncomfortable. There is a games room, but you are charged extra for anything you... More
