This hotel was GREAT, had been obviously just re-furbished, was clean, organised and in a beautiful position with lovely views across to Aswan. Also included is a free boat shuttle service with runs 24/7 taking just a few minutes to arrive in the centre of town. I couldn't fault this hotel for anything.

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Initially I was a little concerned that staying at a hotel on Elephantine Island (in the middle of the Nile) would be a problem, but it wasn't at all. The regular (& free) ferry service meant we never waited longer than 2 minutes for the short ferry ride across to the dock.
The standard of the hotel itself was excellent, and the staff were friendly and most helpful during our 2 night stay. It seems the hotel has undergone a full refurb recently, and is still in the process of being extended, although the construction work didn't seem to bother us too much. The pool area was nice enough and looked over the Nile and into Aswan.
After our stay we boarded a 3 night cruise up the Nile. If you're doing the same then this hotel is in the right location. It's a short ferry ride to the other side of the Nile, and then you can either walk or catch a cab to your boat - depending on which of the 30 or so that are moored there is yours.
