Obelisk Nile Hotel Aswan

Very good

**Beware of Theft** During our stay at Obelisk Nile Hotel, Aswan (11–13 March 2026), the door lock to our room suddenly stopped working on the late afternoon/evening of 12 March, the night before checkout, despite functioning normally just two hours earlier. The hotel provided a master key, but the issue was never properly resolved. After checkout on 13 March, we discovered that a pair of prescription sunglasses was missing from our suitcase. We immediately contacted the hotel and requested an incident report for insurance purposes. The hotel reviewed CCTV footage and claimed I was seen wearing sunglasses when leaving the premises. However, I clearly explained that the glasses in the footage were my everyday transition lenses, which darken under UV light, and are not the missing sunglasses. Despite this clarification, the hotel refused to acknowledge the issue and eventually stopped responding altogether. We also formally requested that CCTV footage covering our room and the corridor during our stay be preserved and provided for police and insurance purposes, but received no response. We are concerned that the lock malfunction may be related to this incident. This experience was extremely disappointing. I would not feel comfortable staying at a hotel that fails to properly address serious incidents and protect guests’ belongings.

Did not do laundry. Staff were very lovely. Breakfast was ample. Nice fresh buns. Good omelets. Loved the view!! Also nice clean pool. Would recommend to friends. Thank you staff of the Obelisk Nile!

My room was feet away from the Nile River and directly on the pool deck. You can't beat this location! The hospitality was outstanding. Loved it!

We had a great time at the hotel and recieved an upgrade to a Nile view room. The pool, the food amd the staff were. It's good value for money.

Perfect stay at this hotel !! The staff is very nice and welcoming The pool and the view are great I recommend you to go to this place for a relaxing stay

Otelin lokasyonu çok iyiydi. Tren istasyonundan sonra , çarşı içinden yürüyerek ulaşılabilir.Nil in kıyısında güzel bir bahçeye sahip.Calisanlar kibar. Odalar geniş, fakat otel biraz eski.

We have a good time at the hotel. The food at the restaurant is excellent. Thanks.

Great value

It's a typical mid level hotel, price appropriate condition. Rooms feel cramped, air conditioning is in your face, water can be too hot, etc. What made me give it a low ranking was the customer experience. There was no hot water in the morning the day we were leaving for Abu Simbel tour. The attitude of the staff was callous and they could care less. We had to give without shower. The hotel didn't have the courtesy of making any amends for this type of experience - just didn't care. Not much positive to say. The restaurant at the hotel was quite mediocre as well. Overall, a somewhat below average property but with absolute lack of customer focus. Avoid it if you can

This hotel has it all together, which is rare. The rooms are clean and in good shape and the Nile views are lovely. The gardens look great too. The breakfast is very complete. And the staff are very professional. I have seen a couple of criticisms pop up about this hotel that I would like to respond to: 1) some people think the hotel needs a little refreshing. I did not find this the case. The style might not always be contemporary but everything is clean and in excellent condition. 2). The noise. The road nearby is bustling all night long, like a lot of Egypt. In my Nile-view room, I never had a problem with noise. But the garden view rooms are closer to the street, so perhaps that is where this problem arises from. But I recommend booking the Nile view room!

The room was very nice and clean; staff friendlu Nd helpful. I recommend!

Clean room. Nice location, right on the Nile. Conveniently located across the market. Helpful staff.

Great location, great staff, lovely stay.

By far the dirtiest rooms we have ever stayed in. Has very nice restaurant, great breakfast and great location. Staff is very friendly. Its right on Nile river. They definently need maintenance and better cleaning staff. we found bunch of hair in the beds and rooms along with bathrooms were very dirthy

Rooms were clean but very outdated. Something odd with the plumbing in our rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel has a usual way to charging your stay it caused our card to freeze.

My stay was excellent

Mostafa was extremely helpful and a great person on staff!

Breakfast had unlimited variety w an egg station!!! Bravo!! The bed was a horrible slab of concrete- at least that’s what it felt like. No sleep at all

Everything was lovely and the staff were very friendly, polite, and helpful.
