Based on the Tripadvisor reviews we decided to spend 2 nights at the Philae Hotel at the end of April 2012. I was impressed immediately with their service. Egypt Air messed up our flights so we arrived on a completely different flight, and over an hour later than we had notified the hotel but they still had a car and... More

Stayed at the Philae Hotel in Aswan for 1 night as part of an Intrepid tour of Egypt. Aswan good clean city. Philae Hotel overlooks the Nile and we had a room looking out at the Nile and all the river boats. Sitting on balcony drinking Sakara Gold and watching the sun set over the Nile was great. Rooms very... More

We stayed here in April and had a great time. The entire staff were very friendly and helpful and especially nice to our 9 year old daughter. The breakfast was the best we had of all the hotels we stayed at during our trip and they provided an Egyption breakfast at our request in additon to our western breakfast. The... More

My only criticism is the noise. Other people have mentioned it but I found it very noisy. I was originally given the... More

We stayed here for 2 nights mid March. The rooms were very clean and roomy, breakfast was good, and the packed lunches due to our early morning departures were terrific! Mohamed Ahmed who worked at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, and his English was awesome. The entire staff at the Philae Hotel was service and customer oriented;... More

In the morning the wake up call... More

I stayed there March 1 and found it to be a very nice place and great location. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but what made it special was the staff. The general manager wrote our names in hieroglyphics on the back of the hotel's business card with a personal note. This was so special. I would definitely stay here... More

Location was very good, close to everything but away from the bigger hotels so no hassle when we stepped outside. Bedroom was lovely, clean and spacious.The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of room. The staff were just the best - helpful, smiley and friendly. Nothing was too much bother for them. Breakfast was ok, basic but filling.... More

We had a tough time when we left the lovely Philae Hotel in Aswan and headed for our cruise boat for a trip up the Nile. Imagine how hard it was to spend a night tied up dockside, between other ships, after having had our own nice sunny balcony overlooking the river! We stayed at the Philae for three nights,... More
