Beautiful hotel on an island on the Nile. The staff is friendly, the food was good, the amenities were great! Shopkeepers were perfect for all your Egyptian souvenir needs. Yacub in the jewelry store is an amazing man that loves his customers! Spend some time talking jewelry and stay for the tea.

The hotel is beautiful and has amazing views and amenities. The staff is amazing specially the concierge Mustafa who took care of us, picked us up personally at the boat and helped us with our cruise and tours. Best services, knowledge and efficiency.
You should also visit his store to shop for oils and herbs.

We stayed 3 nights. More cons than pros. It appears to be in its highest glory probably 2 decades ago and now it’s trying hard to catch up with times. It's not a luxury 5 star hotel, the most is 3.5 star.
Cons:
- From the island’s ferry point to the hotel lobby uphill, you have to pull your own luggage.
- I was given twin bed despite booking and indicated specifically a king bed. This back and fro at the hotel lobby wasted us 45 minutes in the process.
- No black out curtain, no bedside light switch, curtains are of irregular length and some parts torn. The power plug by the bed didn’t work.
- Despite newly renovated, sink counter has rough patches makes it look really overused and old. The grouting looks disgusting. The gauge covering in the ceiling, you can see all the raw walls and pipes and spider web.
- Shower water flows out easily making the floor flooded
- Public toilet taps full of water marks, dirty grouting, and bad smell.
- Toothbrush and slippers have to be requested
- Room doors is broken at the edges.
- One pool is unusable and full of leaves & sand.
- Only 1 main restaurant open. Breakfast was just ok.
Pros:
- Quiet and has 360 views of sunset, islands & gardens.
- One pool is nice for relaxing.
- Spacious room
- Prepare early breakfast if you go for early tour
- Shops within the hotel.
- Great staff who tried their best to please the guests, they are the greatest asset to the hotel.

Peaceful island resort

This is a very nice hotel on an island in the middle of the Nile. You need to take a boat to reach it. The boat starts from the point marked \"Pyramisa Isis Island Pick Up point\" on Google maps. All the tours and private cars will meet you at the parking area at this pick up point. The boat takes about 5 minutes to make the journey but you might need to wait 15 minutes for the boat to set off. It runs all hours. Due to its island location this is a very peaceful place.

Refurbished rooms are now of 4* standard

This hotel has had some poor reviews recently based on its condition. I spent to separate visits to the hotel in January 2025 and both the rooms we stayed in had recently been refurbished and were very nice. I would say that the hotel is of a standard similar to a 4* holiday hotel in Spain. The public areas of the hotel were also in the process of being refurbished. The island location makes it a very peaceful laid-back place. The boat takes you to and from the Pyramisa Isis Island Pick-up point as indicated on Google maps. You should allow up to 20minutes to make the trip. Tours and private cars will meet you at the parking place near that pick-up point. It's a very nice holiday hotel to stay in now and will continue to improve over the next few months I'm sure.

The island hotel was very pretty and you got a good view from restaurants/ balcony. The room was clean and comfortable, with a very large shared balcony. The staff were a bit a abrupt at times and the room was not ready for check in at 3pm. There was a little bit of a leak in the bathroom and the floor got very wet after a shower. Dinner was very average but was included in the room rate.
A nice calm retreat away from the main town. You do have to get a boat to get there but they operate frequently.
We had a massage in the spa, nice but a bit expensive (priced for tourists).
Good facilities - gym, spa outdoor pool etc.

Our room needed some maintenance and we assume had not been used for sometime. For example, the sliding door to the balcony screeched loudly when we opened and closed it. The bathroom looked like it had been poorly finished around the bath and sink. The shower wasn't easy to use. Otherwise we enjoyed the view from our room across the Nile, the pool area was very nice. Service for drinks and food was incredibly slow - it looked like there was only one staff member dedicated to serving everyone. The Italian food on the menu (the Italian restaurant was closed) not enjoyable - most people in our party did not enjoy the food and it was served cold as we had waited for so long.

Staff is overall friendly with various English skills. The hotel looks pretty nice from the outside but the rooms are not compatible to the exterior look.

We paid $500 USD in total for 2 nights of a triple room in December. Triple room = 2 twin beds 1 rollaway bed. Mattress quality is similar to those used in motels in the States. None of the machines in the fitness center works. Bathroom door of our room is not closable and room door is very difficult to close. I do miss Cairo Hilton Pyramid Golf, where I paid less with better quality on everything.

Outside of the property looks very nice as you approach from taxi boat to the hotel. But inside could use an upgrade. Definitely still old fashion inside with all the furniture stuff. Tall, bold male and older looking receptionist staff had a misogynist attitude. Did not respond to me but would make eye contact to my husband when he did not even make the reservation and ask only him questions about reservation. Gave my husband the keys and did not acknowledge me until I had to raise my voice and ask for our passports and wifi access which was terrible. Would not be back.

I booked a deluxe with king bed and view of the Nile. The room initially given to me was unsafe: the front door did not lock (flimsy, could be pushed open, chainlink broken) and the door to the balcony did not lock. We were reassigned to a room where the locks worked, but with twin beds and not looking at the Nile. The bidet did not work. The shower was terrible: the shower head rotated everywhere getting the ceiling, the floors, the walls all wet. We diverted the water to the faucet, but the showerhead did not work anymore and had to kneel to wash our hair. The water pressure and temperature fluctuated; the tub/shower was clogged. The bathroom was not very clean (fungus growing on the tile). The property was in disrepair and it was dated. Presumably, this is a 5-star hotel, but it is not (more likely 3 stars).

The property was adequate for us as we were checking in late and departing early the next morning. When I booked I did not realize that the only way to the property was by boat. This made it very inconvenient. We were hungry as we got in at 10pm and the hotel had very limited food options and because you have to take the boat back to the town we really couldn’t go to any of the places still open in town. The food was okay but definitely not high quality. The property was very dated and old. The doors and wood were scratched up and the bathroom had a weird half glass door which meant some water sprayed outside the shower. They also still use physical keys with a giant hanging tag that has your room number. Not really the safest thing. I did find the staff friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was decent but nothing to write home about. All in all if you are looking for a place that is modest and you want to relax in isolation on an island it’s not bad. But if you want to tour around Aswan and explore the city this is not the place.

mostly dissapointing

This is NOT a 5-star hotel! Maybe it was the inauguration day, 50 yr ago. I will say, today, barely a 2 star. Premises definitely showing the aging and lack of proper maintenance. Example: fiberglass bathtub patched and patch blistered and cracked. I booked a room with king bed. they gave me one with 2 beds. Came down and complained, then got what i asked for. Changed some dollars for egyptian pounds. The first time was Ok (a new $50 bill). Second time: \"we can change you only $20 US\", the catch is, you need to give them freshly mint bills, not a single scratch. needless to say i didnt change anything. now, heading back home with all my \"unacceptable\" bills. Dinner buffet was ok as well as breakfast, but again, not what you will expect at a 5 stars hotel... Location con: you have to take a ferry running erratic times, allow yourself plenty of time to cross the river and grab your ride.

We settled in a room because we were just extremely tired from a long travel after they double cleaned the last one. Hotel is in a great location, but staff and manager are extremely unprofessional and rude. Hotel property is in a bad condition and hasn't been maintained for a while.

As indicated by its name, the hotel is located on an island and so hotel guests and their luggage are transported by boat to the hotel, which is pretty awesome. The hotel staff were, for the most part, very friendly and accommodating, and willing to help make our stay enjoyable. The hotel could do with some renovations - certain features seem run-down by today’s standards and are in dire need of an upgrade, and certain amenities were not available while we were there (though, this may be due to the fact that our stay occurred in the off season), but overall the hotel has a lot of charm. Our plan was to take a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, but we weren’t sure if we could do this given our tight schedule and last minute planning. However, one of the hotel staff by the name of Mostafa went above and beyond his regular duties to make this happen for us. He not only offered us a number of options, but once we had decided on which option we wanted, he arranged the cruise including the transportation of our luggage to the boat. He even took time out of his day to help us with finding amenities and items that were unavailable at the hotel. Despite its shortcomings, I would recommend the hotel for its location, charm, and hospitality.

Only stay if you like roadside motel quality

Awful experience. First off the hotel is maybe a 3 star max. It is very out dated and old and not how the pics look. The staff also is not very well trained or accommodating. The hotel was advertised as “air conditioned rooms” but the a/c didn’t work. We complained and they tried to convince us that air conditioning meant “air freshening” and is only a fan. This is on mid 90 degree days. Finally after a lot of talking they said it was turned off to save energy and they turned it on again and it cooled down but turned it off again in middle of the nite. The beds were also terrible. Good not edible. And overall no better than a roadside motel. Would not recommend

We didn’t eat anything else at the hotel so not sure how rest of the food compares but can’t beat a free breakfast. There is not an option to buy snacks once you are on the island so be sure to stock up on water and snacks while in town if you are like me and need a late night snack.

Surely might be worth a try for a nice looking place at a good price?Well, yes and no dependant on what is important to you.Grumpy unsmiling unhelpful firs t contacts at check-in. Cleanliness. - fine, no issues at all.
Staff around the pool and at the restaurant really good..Room - decent size, good large balcony, a/c, good WiFi, TV we didn't try, fridge no mini bar, kettle tea and coffee and a safe and unlike many comments it was clean.Grounds - A large free form swimming pool which probably wont have more than six people on the sun beds around it. So it is pleasant and peaceful with a good pool boy and drinks service. If you're here for a few days and have spare time its a great place for relaxation.
Food - given the hit and miss attitude of they staff I didn't have great hopes for the buffet. But as buffets go it was actually quite good considering the fact there probably weren't more than 30 people to eat there. Several soups, chicken beef, fish mains, vegetables, rice, pasta, potatoes, half dozen desserts. Our meal was included in the room rate. So if you want company and people around you and entertainment, no. If you want OK comfort, peace and quiet at a good price and are not embarrassed being one of 30 people

Secluded resort with a mostly calm atmosphere

This was a relatively nice place to staying when traveling through Aswan. It’s on an island, so you’re separated from the hustle and bustle of downtown Aswan, which is nice. You’d think that would mean you’d have a quiet and relaxing hotel. While this was true for part of the time, this came to be far from the truth for the other part of our trip, primarily the wedding that took place at 11 PM with a procession in the lobby. My friend and I were startled awake to loud drums and chanting. This went on for about an hour. It was sort of dismaying and annoying since we had to wake up early the next morning for our tour. I understand that weddings are a special celebration, but more care and concern should be given as there are many guests who are at the hotel. Another low point was the bazaar in the hotel. Having traveling throughout Egypt to the main sites where bazaars are inevitably unavoidable, this was sort of disappointing. A resort is supposed to be relaxing, not an area where I have to worry about being harassed by people selling me trinkets. These were the only low points of the hotel. The breakfast offers many different choices, and the hotel staff are attentive to their guests in both the lobby and restaurant areas. If you’re looking for a place away from downtown Aswan with (relative) quiet (barring any weddings), this is a good place to stay.

The hotel location is amazing. The view was spectacular. Staff was friendly and generally helpful. We got to Aswan early and were able to check in early after a little wait time. Hotel is a little dated and needs to be upgraded. Food presentation was grand but the food was a little bland. Overall, we had a pleasant stay at the hotel.

Property situated on an island with beautiful views from my big balcony. Many amenities. Nice walking trail. They have a shuttle to Abu Simbel which was very helpful. The only thing that I did not like was the food. It was terrible ! Asked for a steak sandwich and was brought pot roast with no flavor . Just bread. I told the waiter thats not what I ordered. He then said we dont have steak. I said well you should have told me that . The next day I ordered room service. Ordered grilled chicken . Chicken had blood in it. Becareful . They need a new cook badly !! I had also asked for a cappucino and was brought nescafe . Either the workers are clueless or they dont care.

Poor hotel. Very disappointed. Do not recommend this hotel. Been told by other people room smells strong odor of fresh painted. Excellent customer service in the restaurant.

This property has great potential and its on a beautiful location of the Nile River, however the staff needs more training in executing customer checkin. The front desk employees are very nice however have no clue how to check you in or find your prepaid reservations. Unfortunately the hotel needs some tender loving care. The room that we were given smelled like a can of paint, but we were so tired and only there for 12 hours that we chose just to stick it out. Big mistake could not bare the smell. Room looked clean but all corners and under the bed dirty with dust. The shower head of the bathroom was the highlight of this room.

This was not one off my more enjoyable stays in Egypt, I had been before. I was here with a tour group and the check-in process was unpleasant.The young women at the reception desk were just handing out stacks of passports books to people in the hope that you would be able to find your own. Then once I finally got my key, one of the bellhops directed me to the general area of where my room was, but never mentioned I had to go down a flight of steps to find it. So I read the only posted signs in the hallways where he directed me and ended up back in the lobby, just to be escorted in the same direction, but down to the bottom floor where my actual room was. Before even entering the room though, the quality of the upkeep of the section of the hotel where I was staying was appalling. Doors were missing handles, hallways were full of dust and dirt, things were just so unkempt and outdated. Not to mention upon entering the room, I was immediately taken aback by the awful smell in the room. The television was an old tube 10\" that only had a few channels and all of the buttons on the remote didn't work. The room had dead bugs on the lamp shades, walls, and on the floor in a few spots. The cabinet to the unclean and not even remotely cold mini-fridge only had one working hinge. The patio to the outside overlooking the unused dirty pool and unmanicured pool area was just unnerving. All in all, I won't be staying here again. There are plenty of other options available.
