the food was rubbish and the service was terrible. Mosquitos allover the place. The location is ugly apart from the nile view and the pool. The restaurant stuff were bad and rude. the air conditioning wasn't working and they didn't fix it. Don't you ever go there or you will regret it and if you go there just eat outside... More

Don't stay here unless you like loud music until 2am and mosquitoes in your room!!! We stayed at this hotel on the night of December 28th, 2012. Our guide told us that it was a quiet hotel. We went to bed early because we had to get up early for a tour to Abu Simbel. We fought off mosquitoes for... More

The hotel is situated in the middle of a building site. The staff were surly and generally unhelpful when it can to finding change so that I could tip them!. The food was pretty poor and I think the handful of us on an expat explore trip were the only guests. Can't complain too much I suppose as the expat... More

The following points provide a summary of our stay in this hotel. Nice lobby. Our room had a view overlooking the Nile river – unique vista. In our bathroom we could easily hear the occupants in the room next door. Air conditioning extremely noisy and not very effective. Very basic amenities. Bed extremely hard. TV – tube type but too...

Was dropped off at Sara Hotel by BusAbout. I checked in and was taken to my room only to find out that the toilet and shower wasn't working and neither was the air con. It was a ridiculous temperature and the air con was truly necessary. I went down to reception to tell them I had no water or air... More

When you first step into the Sara you are greeted with a white washed lobby full of sun and opulent de-core, there is a large outdoor pool with a great view over the Nile valley all in all very picturesque. However if you plan on locking your door I would advise not staying at this hotel. The room doors are... More

Many other reviews of the Sara Hotel here are difficult to believe. "friendly staff," "lovely," "hidden gem" ... just who wrote them? My partner and I stayed here and, as seasoned travelers, this was one of the worst hotels we have ever stayed at. The staff were, to put it bluntly, like zombies: lifeless, couldn't-care-less in attitude, even sullen. My... More

We recently stayed at the Sara Hotel in Aswan, while seeing the sights and waiting for space on the ferry to Sudan. The Sara is about 2 km south of the centre of Aswan, so nicely out of the hustle and bustle but they do operate a regular free shuttle bus. The hotel is spacious and the rooms very clean.... More

I stayed here on my own, being a lone mid 20s girl travelling can be difficult at times but the Sara Hotel was lovely! The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to be helpful! I started in a very small twin room but the manager upgraded me to a very large room over looking the nile... More
