"The rooms are a little dated however it adds to its charm. It is a great a d quiet place to stay. Very relaxing along with great staff and food options."
"Excellent Hotel! Very beautiful, with spacious rooms and view from balcony towards the Nile River. Staff was very kind and helpful, as well as having a great variety of restaurants. Overall great hotel."
"This is a lovely large hotel that works hard to provide excellent services to a complex clientele. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the lobby very nice, the rooms nice for such a large hotel and the location is excellent. We chose half board and found the food very good."
"Excellent hotel. Originally stayed in the "cabanas" by the pool, which were very below par for a four star hotel (apparently about to be refurbished), but was moved to a room in the hotel proper, which was a massive improvement. Pools were excellent and a wealth of top class eating options, although strangely no actual Egyptian. The staff were fantastic and overall an excellent stay."

"One of the best places I stayed in Morocco. The hosts are extremely hospitable and arranged everything very smoothly. The food (especially the breakfast) was just so amazing and all the staff was very kind too. Location is couldn't be better. Highly recommend this place and if you are debating don't think twice. "
"This is a small hotel of the beaten track but on the hot air balloon route. The food choice is limited but tasty.
The host was very accommodating and organised a trip after we left the hotel."
"The service is excellent. It is very thoughtful to give us a bottle of sand of Sahara when we leaving. The food is excellent too. I had a very very good time there."
"Amazing value for money. Very clean and modern. The staff were brilliant they went above and beyond to make our stay the most comfortable and pleasant. I can't fault anything. I will definitely come back again and recommend Noma always"
"The apartment was very clean, the beds were comfortable, the staff were friendly and super helpful, and the apartment was well equipped with everything we needed!"
"We were looking for an authentic, off-the-beaten path experience and this was it. Having the opportunity to stay the night in the dessert, ride camels and quads through sand dunes, watch a beautiful sunset, listen to traditional Bedouin music and have a delicious meal were outstanding. We would definitely recommend."

"Although the hotel is in need of updating it was clean and the view from our balcony over the Nile with the Giza pyramids in the distance was lovely. Our room attendant was lovely and on seeing my birthday cards left a chocolate cake in our room."
"Our stay at the Obelisk Nile Hotel in Aswan was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. We came to Aswan as part of our Egypt trip, and this hotel ended up being one of the highlights of our time there. The location, food, atmosphere, and especially the staff made our experience truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive throughout our entire stay. Everyone we interacted with was willing to help, answer questions, and make sure we were comfortable. It was the kind of hospitality that made us feel like guests rather than just customers. The hotel is located right along the Nile, which gives the property a beautiful atmosphere and makes it a great place to relax after spending the day exploring Aswan. One person who really stood out to us was Hadra. Hadra was absolutely amazing and deserves special recognition. He was extremely kind, welcoming, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed and always made us feel comfortable and welcomed. If you’re visiting Aswan and want a hotel with a beautiful Nile-side location, great food, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, Obelisk Nile Hotel is definitely worth considering."
