Basma Hotel Aswan

Guest relation manager Reham had contacted us prior to our visit to ensure that any of our special requests could be accommodated. Maria was very helpful at check-in and offered us a complimentary upgrade and even arranged for a cake to celebrate our son's birthday. The location of the property on the top of the hill was quite unique and gave a view of the unfinished obelisk and the Nile, with good sunrise/sunset view. Would definitely recommend this property.

Location was good. Property very run down. Internet was slow

Old facility and heating doesn’t work. Food isn’t great.

In addition to being a nice place to stay (we stayed there in 2019, and 2024), we love all the artwork in the building and on the grounds--the sculptures and the mosaics and stained glass. NEVER remove them in the name of Modernism. Keep them! They give the hotel a timeless elegance. Also, thank you for relighting your neon sign on the roof, and using the original neon tubing where possible, rather than LEDs which rot in the sun over time, whereas neon is glass, and made by hand. I restore vintage neon signs here in the US, and they are a wonderful craft!

The Hotel Basma was a lovely place to stay in Aswan. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. They helped me arrange tours to Philae Temple and Abu Simbel. They made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. The room was nice and had everything I needed. The views of the Nile from the balcony was the best.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable hotel for my brief stay before joining my Nile Cruise. The staff were very friendly and the buffet breakfast excellent.

The hotel is sitting up on a hill. It has a great view of the town! And the staff are just amazing

Nice, resort like hotel overlooking the Nile River. The view from the room was spectacular. Rooms are large, clean, cool and very comfortable. The staff is very polite and helpful. The Nubian museum is right across the street and the Old Cataract Hotel and the port are only a seven minute walk from the hotel. In addition, the hotel can arrange transportation to and from Aswan airport for a reasonable fee. We wish we had stayed longer, it was extremely relaxing and enjoyable.

This is a very good-looking hotel on top of a hill with extraordinary views over the Nile and beyond. There is a tasty breakfast, and wonderful buffets for lunch and dinner. I had a difficulty and this was fixed with an upgraded room and a smile. There are 2 sign posted bars near the entrance, but both were closed. There was also a bar in the restaurant which I used one evening, but it is lacking in character, even although the staff are great. I suspect the two bars are open as low season comes to an end. As a solo traveller, this would normally be the place I would meet somebody. The location is great. It is within walking distance of the promenade (corniche) and the markets if you'd like a good long stroll. The Nubian Museum is opposite and the unfinished obelisk is also within walking distance. I certainly would consider returning should I be in Aswan again.

They accommodated us for a late check out free of charge. We truly appreciate it. The rooms are clean and spacious. It’s a safe place and has plenty of free parking. Overall, we had a comfortable and pleasant stay. Thank you Basma hotel.

Love the decor and amenities in the hotel. The view was amazing as well!

Ok, overall. For a short stay, shoukd be sufficient. A/C was pretty weak as well as no TV service. Elevators also pretty scary on if they would work once we entered. Restaurant was ok, decent food but buffet like everywhere else. Wish we coukd have experienced pool, looked great.

We had a great time in the Basma Hotel. Drainage of the bathtube needs to be checked by housekeeping to make sure it works properly. In our case we removed a lot of heair to drain it properly. Otherwise, excellent.

The hotel staff was amazing.

The property was very average. The rooms were fine and it had a pool. There was one restaurant that served decent food. Unfortunately several evenings they had only a poor but expensive buffet available. So there were no other options for food within walking distance.

Very nice location and the best Egypt class hotel of the trip. Fantastic breakfast buffet, rivals the resort class hotels. Rooms are very comfortable and quiet due to the height of the hotel. Has elevators, which is rare in Egyptian class hotels.

The hotel has a nice view, but it is in major renovations. Not worth it for the price we payed.

The location and view is great. Staff can be trained to the next level of professionalism compared to the other hotels I have stayed. At the checkout, the guy was so busy so even say thank you. Just handed me a print out and start talking to someone else. When I asked for an envelop , he just gave me one. There were other incidents as well… Rooms are a little out dated. Food was good but the cutleries, plates and the buffet area doesn’t meet the high standards.

Hotel with huge potential fallen through the cracks
