Perfect location and staff and view and room!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 19 hours ago

The room in the new wing is recently renovated and wow! The whole bed is pillow if you can pull yourself away from the balcony and view of Aswan harbor. The bathrooms and closets are huge. I was 2402. Ask for a high floor. The food is wonderful and varied enough for the mild or wild palate. My friends raved about the martinis in the cozy bar. The staff is very accommodating. Shout out to the gracious host Abdel aziz at Kebabgy in the hotel for making space for our large group. The musicians playing outside were magic.

View on the Nile.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 days ago

The hotel where Agatha Christie lived for a year is exactly what you would expect in a Christie novel. The Prestige suite with a Nile view was the definition of luxury. The bathroom was imaginative and luxurious. A particularly comfortable bed with amazing pillows. There is a separate dressing room area and another to make drinks. The view of the Nile is truly outstanding. The grounds are interesting to walk around and for viewing lovely sunsets over the Nile. We did the Agatha Christie tour of her old suite, which was brief but interesting. The décor of the hotel is stunning, particularly the lobby/bar area. Breakfast is as good as you’d expect in this class of hotel. The dining area is huge, high-ceilinged and spectacular with very low lighting but sadly no Nile views. The staff were outstanding.
