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

Quick visit
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 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.

Accommodating but less in professionalism
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

Nice room with a view of the Nile. Beds are comfortable. Room was specious. Staff was great. Walking distance to city center. Nice property but there was construction work at the lobby and restaurant.
Staff were kind and helpful. They helped with daytrips and ride to the airport. There was construction at the hotel and down the street but it was still quiet and clean. Pool side was great to rest after expeditions to archaeological sites. The Nubia Museum was conveniently across the street. Restaurant had pretty decent food.
Contacted the hotel and they said construction was finished and when we arrived it was evidently not finished.
Finger prints on drinking glasses, no coffee mugs, kettle was dirty, stained sink, toilet and bathtub, no hot water.
Food was not fresh, buffet was still plastic wrapped, staff was touching everything with bare hands when organizing the breads and deserts.
Internet was very spotty. Cannot make international phone calls from the hotel phone.
This is not a 4 star hotel!! We were looking forward to getting a good night sleep after a long day trip and to our demise, the bed was hard as a rock!! Not to mention we had boulders as pillows. The hotel does not have queen beds so they put two single beds together just to have an awkward canyon in between my wife and I. There was not hot water for a shower and the power went out around midnight when we noticed the AC was off. I can’t emphasize enough to stay away from this hotel and go elsewhere for a comfortable stay.
