Pyramisa Island Hotel Aswan

Like: the amazing view on the mountain with the Nil, Nil view all around the hotel, better than the old cataract hotel ! Quiet and relaxing, good facilities (swimming pool, massage etc). Dislike: frequency of the boat to access the hotel, sometimes more than 30 mins (waiting time + sailing time) - Terrible breakfast (instant coffee only, no fresh fruit, stay away from the sausages etc) Room: functional and clean

The location is fantastic and very prime. The staff is friendly and helpful. The boat from/to the mainland functions very well. A variety of options for breakfast and dinner. The beds in the room are comfortable. The wifi is in and out - good on some days and not so good on others.

Welcoming and friendly staff. Comfortable room with everything you need.

A lovely experience with friendly, professional and attentive staff, all of whom could not have done anything more for us. The hotel is on an island in the Nile with views of the Old Cataract Hotel, Elephantine Island and the desert. Our own view was spectacular taking in the beautifully maintained gardens, the island across the Nile with its fields, buffalo, palm trees, desert and, on the far bank, the mausoleum to the Aga Khan. The hotel has two swimming pools (we used both) and they were both good with excellent service for drinks and towels, etc. There are shops on site. I am happy to say there is no heavy selling. The spa offers a range of massages. they are not what I would call "cheap"exactly but, again, they were excellent. The breakfast was varied and delicious and with the ever attentive service. We ate dinner in the attractively presented a la carte restaurant and the food was good (as, of course, was the service) and all at a very reasonable price. There is a courtesy, 24 hour private hotel ferry that crosses the Nile every 10 minutes which is excellent for seeing the old cataract up close and the ruins on Elephantine Island. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Aswan. The location, service and quality of the hotel are all truly excellent.

Awesome location. Beautiful grounds. The hotel has been renovated since our stay last year and it was a nice surprise for us. However, they used cheap materials for renovation and I'm afraid the hotel will soon fall into disrepair again. The standard of newly refurbished rooms is closer to a 3 rather than a 5 star hotel. The place has huge potential, but some of it is lost due to bad management. We highly appreciated an early check-in around 10 a.m.
