Marhaba Aswan Hotel

Honestly one of the worst hotel I ve ever been in my life! The room was filthy and disgusting. Most of the stuff in the room are old and completely rotten. The pool was disgusting and the breakfast was absolutely horrendous. They bring you one tiny plate and everything is cold. Very bad experience, thank god I was there for one night. The location was the only thing but seriously they should take care of their facilities a bit better. Respectfully 🙏

This hotel is the cost friendly and located at the center of Aswan City and having easy access to the beautiful Nile River Corniche. Their front desk reception team (specially Mr. A. Amgad and his manager) are very polite and supportive. They always try to help the customers by doing extraordinary efforts. Old Souq market and Aswan Railway station are located on 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Hotel Rooms and food are average.

Absolutely avoid this hotel. The room was filthy, the bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages, and the bed sheets and blankets seemed never washed. On top of that, the tap water is untreated hard water full of lime, making it impossible to wash properly. The elevator only works when the bellboy wants to carry luggage for a tip; at other times, they falsely claim it’s out of order. Early in the morning, I had to carry my suitcase up five flights of stairs to go to Abu Simbel. Upon returning, the bellboy shamelessly demanded a tip for handling my luggage. If you want to enjoy your time in Egypt, do not stay here.

The hotel itself is very old, the staff make up for the outdated hotel, been quite friendly.|Just please be very careful when checking in, I paid by credit card & was then asked to pay with US dollars. My credit card has gone through my bank (but been in a foreign country, it showed a few days later) I did get it reversed, just a heads-up

The worst hotel I have ever stayed at – absolutely unacceptable This was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. The room was extremely dirty – there were layers of hair in the sink, the bathtub and toilet were filthy, and everything was covered in dust. The floor was so dirty that my feet turned black from walking barefoot. To make matters worse, when I closed the bathroom door, it locked itself. I had to call the reception, and it took them 30 minutes to come and unlock it with a key. My bed was literally split in two – completely uncomfortable and unacceptable. And despite the hotel knowing someone was staying in the room, a man suddenly entered without knocking, using a key card, and brought someone else with him. He didn’t apologize or say anything – he just looked at me as if I was the problem. I felt extremely unsafe and uncomfortable after that. This hotel is not just dirty, it’s absolutely neglected and unsafe. I would never recommend it to anyone. Avoid at all costs.

Avoid This Hotel at All Costs This is hands down one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. While the view of the Nile from our room was nice, that’s about the only positive thing I can say. Everything else about this place was an absolute disaster. Noise and Poor Location The hotel is located right in the middle of a noisy local neighborhood, and the windows do nothing to block out the constant sounds of the street. I was kept awake until the early hours of the morning every single night. Don’t expect peace or quiet here—it simply doesn’t exist. Uncomfortable and Dirty Rooms The rooms are mediocre at best, but the beds are horrible. The mattress was lumpy, uncomfortable, and felt like it hadn’t been replaced in years. To make matters worse, the beds creak loudly every time you move, adding to the already unbearable noise in this place. The bathrooms weren’t much better—they were dirty and clearly not cleaned properly between guests. The Worst Breakfast Ever The breakfast was an absolute joke and, frankly, a health hazard. The cook clearly doesn’t know how to prepare food, let alone something as basic as eggs. Every morning, my omelette was served raw. Even after complaining, nothing was done about it. On one occasion, I ordered an extra egg and still had to pay for it, despite showing them that it was also raw. They provide just one egg omelette per guest, and the rest of the plate consists of prepackaged yoghurt and jam (probably costing 10 EGP at most), stale cheese, and cucumbers that looked like they’d been sitting out all night. To top it all off, I ended up with food poisoning from this disgraceful breakfast. It’s no surprise, considering their lack of basic food safety. The so-called “buffet” is just for show—most of the dishes are empty, and the little food that is there is questionable at best. Misleading Amenities The pool? Don’t be fooled by the photos online. It’s a tiny, dirty kiddie pool—barely a meter deep and only about 6 square meters in size. It’s laughable that they even call this a pool. Deceptive Staff The staff might seem friendly, but it’s all fake. Their smiles are just a ploy to get tips. There’s no genuine hospitality here, just a poorly concealed money grab. Horrible Value for Money At $100 USD per night, this place is an absolute rip-off. The experience was so awful that even $30 USD per night would feel like too much. In fact, I wouldn’t stay here again if they paid me! Final Thoughts Do yourself a favor and avoid this hotel entirely. It’s filthy, noisy, uncomfortable, and a complete scam compared to the photos online. There are far better places to stay for the same price—or less. This hotel is a total embarrassment and should not be in business.

Honestly this place needs some money spent on it. It’s old and dated and really not very clean. Really felt like I was being ripped off when I spent $100 u.s dollars on room that was as basic as it gets. However its location is excellent if you want to look around Aswan or sail on the Nile. The guy on the reception was a bit creepy and always had is hand out for a tip….. think he wanted a tip for breathing as he did nothing to deserve a cash payment 🤷‍♂️
