Basma Hotel Aswan

In addition to being a nice place to stay (we stayed there in 2019, and 2024), we love all the artwork in the building and on the grounds--the sculptures and the mosaics and stained glass. NEVER remove them in the name of Modernism. Keep them! They give the hotel a timeless elegance. Also, thank you for relighting your neon sign on the roof, and using the original neon tubing where possible, rather than LEDs which rot in the sun over time, whereas neon is glass, and made by hand. I restore vintage neon signs here in the US, and they are a wonderful craft!

The Hotel Basma was a lovely place to stay in Aswan. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind. They helped me arrange tours to Philae Temple and Abu Simbel. They made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. The room was nice and had everything I needed. The views of the Nile from the balcony was the best.

Beautiful, clean and comfortable hotel for my brief stay before joining my Nile Cruise. The staff were very friendly and the buffet breakfast excellent.

The hotel is sitting up on a hill. It has a great view of the town! And the staff are just amazing

Nice, resort like hotel overlooking the Nile River. The view from the room was spectacular. Rooms are large, clean, cool and very comfortable. The staff is very polite and helpful. The Nubian museum is right across the street and the Old Cataract Hotel and the port are only a seven minute walk from the hotel. In addition, the hotel can arrange transportation to and from Aswan airport for a reasonable fee. We wish we had stayed longer, it was extremely relaxing and enjoyable.

This is a very good-looking hotel on top of a hill with extraordinary views over the Nile and beyond. There is a tasty breakfast, and wonderful buffets for lunch and dinner. I had a difficulty and this was fixed with an upgraded room and a smile. There are 2 sign posted bars near the entrance, but both were closed. There was also a bar in the restaurant which I used one evening, but it is lacking in character, even although the staff are great. I suspect the two bars are open as low season comes to an end. As a solo traveller, this would normally be the place I would meet somebody. The location is great. It is within walking distance of the promenade (corniche) and the markets if you'd like a good long stroll. The Nubian Museum is opposite and the unfinished obelisk is also within walking distance. I certainly would consider returning should I be in Aswan again.

They accommodated us for a late check out free of charge. We truly appreciate it. The rooms are clean and spacious. It’s a safe place and has plenty of free parking. Overall, we had a comfortable and pleasant stay. Thank you Basma hotel.

Love the decor and amenities in the hotel. The view was amazing as well!

Ok, overall. For a short stay, shoukd be sufficient. A/C was pretty weak as well as no TV service. Elevators also pretty scary on if they would work once we entered. Restaurant was ok, decent food but buffet like everywhere else. Wish we coukd have experienced pool, looked great.
