Hoteles con vistas a la montaña en Asuán

«Ubicación: Llegamos a la isla desde un muelle, y llamamos para organizar los traslados durante todo el trayecto. La ubicación es excelente, muy cerca del Templo Feilai. Servicio: El personal fue muy amable y nos ayudó con las reservas dondequiera que fuéramos. El precio era un poco alto, pero el transporte y el servicio fueron mucho más sencillos que si hubiéramos tenido que buscarlo por nuestra cuenta. Vistas: Hermosas vistas al mar, excelente relación calidad-precio. Comida: Un poco mediocre. Excelente relación calidad-precio, muy recomendable.»

«Este hotel está en lo más alto de la ciudad de Asuán, en lo alto de una colina empinada. No hay lugares para comer alrededor. El más cercano es el restaurante 1902 en Lao Falls, fuimos a disfrutarlo por la noche y los tres gastamos más de 2.500 libras, lo cual es un lujo poco común. El hotel en sí no está mal y las habitaciones están bien. Pero ahora se está renovando parte y el pasillo está un poco gris. Si no tienes coche y quieres pasear por Asuán, te recomendamos buscar un hotel en la ciudad, que te resultará más conveniente. Se recomienda alquilar un coche para ver la presa de Asuán. Después de todo, ha sido un producto de nuestros libros de historia durante muchos años. Además, es muy importante: no se recomienda seguir a la multitud hasta el templo de Abu Simbel temprano en la mañana. Es demasiado difícil, pero en ese momento sigues siendo un ser humano. Alquilamos un coche y salimos a las 7:30. Cuando llegamos alrededor de las 11:00, había mucha menos gente y la experiencia turística fue mucho mejor. Llegamos al aeropuerto de Asuán alrededor de las 4:00 de la tarde. A menos que vayas a hacer un crucero, no es necesario salir temprano por la mañana para ir a los templos de Abu Simbel.»

«First, the hotel picked me up at the ferry dock by their own boat, which really helped me relax after a tiring journey. When I arrived, everything felt very new furniture and very big room—especially the bathroom—and the whole place was very clean. One thing I really appreciated was how quiet it was, so I could sleep very well. The owner is also very kind and helped arrange the trips I wanted to go on. I originally booked for just 2–3 nights, but ended up staying for a full 7 days.»

«Our stay at Benben was a bit of a mixed one. If you are someone who has a lot of time on your hands and you want to take photos for instagram and do not care about water supply/shower issue, this may be the right place for you. On the other hand, if you have travel schedule planned and not too flexible with time (e.g., Abu Simbel day trip) and care about sleep quality, this is not the place for you. We stayed here for 2 nights, on our first day, we arrived around 3pm with sweats and heat exhaustion from our Philae temple visit. After being sent to our room, we realised the water wasn’t working. Hotel told us to wait as they had some water supply issue, after waiting for 5 hours, we called again and were told they are still fixing it and could not tell us an ETA on the fix. With frustration and massive migraine from heat exhaustion and no clear ETA, I figured I had to sleep with sweats and anger. The 2nd issue we encountered was the ferry to the dock. The hotel is on and island which means every time we want to go in and out, we would need to contact the hotel to arrange for the boat for transfer). On the day we need to leave, we were waiting on the boat with a Danish couple but we could not depart after waiting for 20 mins (post the initial agreed departure time). Even though the other couple made a complaint to the hotel staff, they did not care or give a clear answer on when we can leave. Another 20 mins later, we we realised we were waiting for another couple to come onboard (and confirmed with them that they were 20 mins late to their original appointment). At this point, we were already very late to meet our own driver and start our 8 hours trip to Luxor. Most hotel staff could not speak English, the only ones we can communicate to was Nirvana (from front counter) and the restaurant manager. The rest of the staff were not well trained to do basic communication. So… If you have time, ok to deal with the above potential issues (oh…and lots of stairs!), go ahead and you will enjoy the amazing views from the hotel.»

«We came here for a family trip. From airport drop-off to arrival, everything was seamless and comfortable. The service and cleanliness were top-notch, making us want to stay longer. The Nubian Museum was close enough to walk. It's located in the middle of town, so the road was a bit rough, but other than that, everything was excellent. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit.»
