Guest Reviews

• Klaus (7/5): - Sehr gute Lage im Zentrum, 250m zur Fähre nach Elephantine. Einfach, aber sauber. Sehr freundliches Personal, besonders die junge Dame an der Rezeption, die uns am Abend noch ein Taxi für 115 E£ zum Flughafen besorgte und sogar noch nach 10 min den Taxifahrer anrief, ob er uns gefunden habe, da das Hotel 100 von der Straße entfernt ist. Der Pool ist nicht benutzbar (total veralgt). Frühstück bestand aus Brot, Schmelzkäse, Marmelade und Chips, aber wenigstens bekamen wir je 2 Becher Nescafe.
• Maxence (8/5): -
• ISMAIEL (5/5): كانت إقامة مقبولة - الموظفون الغرف ليس بها شاشات دورات المياه قديمة ‏كولين الأبواب قديمة صعبة الغلق والفتح
• ISMAIEL (7/5): كانت إقامة جيدة - الموقع غلق الأبواب مش مريح
• Graciela (4/5): - Ubicación. Personal no fue muy amable. Poco agua caliente. Hotel antiguo sin mantenimiento.
• Pavel (7/5): - Прекрасное отношение. Вежливость. Ненавязчивость. Локация решает все. Напротив КФС, рядом Мак, все на набережной. Не надо никуда ехать. Просто выходи и иди гулять. Отсутствие мыла и шампуни в номере. Лучше завтракать вне отеля в любом кафе. Для непритязательных туристов для которых нужно только переночевать.
• X (9/5): -
• Claire (5/5): Staff and location good - but pictures oversell the hotel - Staff The pool was the main reason for staying there but it was really uncared for and couldn’t be used. The water looked unchlorinated and had hadn’t been cleaned.
• Baher (8/5): - فندق نظيف والاستف متعاون و مؤدب قيمة جيدة مقابل سعر موقع الفندق داخل شارع و يجب حمل الحقائب و صعود درجات سلم كثيرة أرض الغرفة غير مغطاة بموكيت أو سجاد مما جعلة باردة طول الوقت و هذا في وقت الشتاء غير مريح
• Boyan (4/5): Dissapointing - The location is good - near the promenade. The bathroom was very dirty. Like almost every Egyptian, the staff wanted to get as much money as possible from us and charged my parents double the price we agreed upon arrival for the tour we booked at the hotel.
• Dirk (7/5): Comfortable stay with great location - Great location, about a 15 minute walk from Aswan train station, and less than a minute from the public ferry to Elephantine Island, restaurants along the Nile river, Aswan Market. The hotel is located in pedestrian side street with stairs, not accessible by cars, but it’s only 50 meters from the main street with all transportation, so no big deal. The hotel lobby is a bit dark, but our room was very bright, with very practical arrangement of beds, closet, bench for suitcases, fridge. Room and bathroom not the newest but clean. We had a balcony with superb view of the Nile river and the Tombs of the Nobles!! Staff was amazing. Kudos to the receptionist Ramya who spoke perfectly English and gave excellent tips for local restaurants.

• Xiaojun (1/5): - A very dirty room, dogs barking all night, and loud prayer calls in the morning
• Nina (6/5): - Location was ok,staff were friendly and helpful Breakfast was basic with no coffee or tea at all, general cleaning was bad
• Grazyna Katarzyna (10/5): Magnifique - Tout est proche de la ville et de la rivière Nil.
• Hayashi (8/5): -
• Irene (7/5): - La atención y ubicación cerca del bazar. La cama un poco incómoda pero para un par de noches suficiente.
• Xiao Ming (6/5): -
• Alice (6/5): - The property allowed us to check at 4am without problem, the staff is really kind and location very convenient . The property is old and badly maintained, some cables seemed dangerous. I would not recommend for more than 1 night but the staff was really friendly and the price cheap.
• Templario 666 (9/5): - El personal super atento, buen desayuno y la habitación muy comoda , lo recomiendo La piscina estaba sucia
• Joel (2/5): -
• Aram (6/5): Will stay there again every time I am In Aswan - Location great, but the stairs to main roads need maintenance and handrails The wifi in the room let me down as it did not work as promised
• HSIN YI (2/5): 超級不建議住這裡 - 位置很好就是在郵輪及KFC附近 飯店真的太舊了，我都覺得我回到60年代60年前⋯⋯那個電視我都沒看過的古董，整體都很舊很舊，我們晚上洗澡還停水⋯⋯真的很無言，還有飯店大廳昏暗
• Ralf Blickle (6/5): War zu teuer für das Hotel - Frühstück war nicht gut nur Chips und Tüten Frühstück, Pool dreckig
• szwensj (10/5): -
• Zhi Khai (1/5): -
• dim3178 (7/5): - Hôtel dans une petite rue à côté des embarcadère ! Personnel très sympa et serviable. Nous y avons passer une nuit sans problème
• augusto (6/5): -
• Jaime (5/5): -
• Lindsay (5/5): -
• Felipe (7/5): good - cleanliness, staff attitude, location bathroom too small
• Wen (5/5): Passable - Reasonably priced, good location, good services Extremely dated room, shower head low pressure, limited hot water supply
• Àngels (9/5): Superb - Very nice staff, the room is basic but has everything you need. Location is great, other than the normal tours I really enjoyed walking around Aswan Old Souq that is next to Orchida and had delicious falafel there, some of the best I had in Egypt. The Orchida has seen better days. It needs some maintenance, slow wifi (but at least there is wifi in the room which is rare in Egypt!) and shower not consistently hot. All typical problems in Egypt, nothing majorly inconvenient.
• Jose (9/5): Orchida St George Hotel - Well located, in the heart of Aswan. The crew was awesome with us. The installations are old, but everything was functional. We had a great view of the zone, including Nile river. I would repeat the accommodation if I return Aswan anytime. The pool was not available.
• Tiago (4/5): Very expensive for fair for what was offered. - Staff was nice and helpful. Got us a tour to Abu Simbel at a fair price. Room was very cold, and the AC didn't work. The mattresses were totally torn apart :(. Very expensive for fair for what was offered.
• Daniel (9/5): Superb - I really liked this place! I found my room cosy and it was great to have a river view, fridge and instant hot water for the shower. The staff were so friendly and communication was always authentic and smooth. I did not get a chance to jump in the pool, but I did relax on the lovely rooftop – which conveniently also has bathrooms and sun loungers – for a spectacular view towards the souk and the hills. Around the corner to the left when leaving the hotel there is a nice coffee place to relax and behind the hotel going towards the souk lots of friendly people and a great falafel stand. If I ever go back to Aswan, I would book here.
• Yuan (4/5): Disappointing - It asked for almost 30% VAT and service charge.
• Mohideen (5/5): fairly ok for budget travellers - location old place,
• Emanuele (4/5): Disappointing -
• Pat (6/5): Pleasant -
• Gurung (10/5): Exceptional -
• Laia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lolsh (1/5): Bad - The price is not suitable and it is not comfortable at all, but it was not the worst thing Not the best option
• Anirban (9/5): Superb -
• Carl (6/5): It was a budget hotel and we got what we paid for. The beds were comfortable and the bed linen was clean. Ok for just a - The staff were friendly and helpful. We had to move rooms twice to get the family room we paid for. Aircon didn’t work too well in one of the rooms where we slept.
• Nita (1/5): Do not stay here under any circumstances - Do not stay here. This is the filthiest hotel I have ever stayed at. Even the bedding was dirty! The shower and toilet were broken. The lift was broken and added to this you cannot access direct from the street but have to walk up a number of flights of steps The filth and the access
• Amro (1/5): Bad -
• Antoine (3/5): Hotel is dirty. Location is okay beside the stairs to reach it. - location nearby boats Dirty hotel. Lots of stairs to reach the hotel
• محمد (7/5): Good - The staff was very friendly and helpful No housekeeping
• Basak (6/5): Pleasant - The location is slightly uphill you have to climb few stairs, but very close to the elephantine island ferry stand and is very near to the markets The price is way too high for the services provided, should atleast 15 dollar less
• Usama (10/5): Exceptional -
• Imran (7/5): Good - Near to Nile river shops and restaurants are near by...Place is average but it justifies the price Electric kettle is not there, but they provided hot water
• Saied (7/5): Good -
• Ingy (6/5): Pleasant -
• Fitriany (1/5): Very old furniture and very dirty - Nothing The location is near corniche but you need to climb some stairs very hard for bring big luggage and car not accessible very small road. The hotel very old and all furniture very old. They should be invested new furniture, toilet is dirty and view is bad. Not recommended
• Mohd (5/5): Passable - The staf very polite. Location is strategic. Near river The hotel looked old. Hard to get to the hotel because of the stairs.
• Surgius (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ladan (8/5): Very good -
• Aravind (5/5): Passable - Only location was good Stayed for 1 night before the cruise start period. There was a power cut for long hours in the night. Room was small. No wifi at all. The receptionist was hesitant to give wifi password
• Claudia (4/5): Disappointing -
• Juan (9/5): Superb -
• Alicia (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, staff very helpful and freindly, clean room and breakfast was excellent
• Mohammed (5/5): Passable - Location and staff especially Mohammed Akmal and Ruwaiya. Very dull.lights not on in reception Outdated.
• Vignesh (7/5): Cheap, clean stay that's value for money. - The hotel was as per my expectations overall. I had paid for an extremely cheap accommodation for a single night where we could just rest and freshen up and Orchida fit the bill. It is very close to the promenade/corniche and so the location was perfect for us to walk around and find good breakfast nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful. The bed and sheets were a little dirty and the room had a lizard or two in it. What is not mentioned in the description is that the hotel is not directly accessible via car. There is a large flight of stairs which you have to climb / go down (depending on the direction you go from) to reach the main gate. The hotel does send people to help carry luggage, but something to be aware of if you have very heavy luggage or people with accessibility issues. I was trying to get a car arranged for an airport pickup from the hotel, but the person on the other end of the message suddenly went AWOL for 12 hours before I landed so I had to manage it on my own.
• Aram (5/5): Good - Location great , staff very nice bathroom dangerous slippery shower problem Just the shower
• Zeeshan (6/5): Pleasant - The location was good. The staff was good and take prompt actions. The rooms are old and needs to be renovated.
• Zeeshan (6/5): Pleasant -
• Narriman (5/5): Passable - If not for the hospitality of the staff, I would have gone to another hotel even though we were only there for 1 night. Everything except the friendly staff.
• Ignacio (1/5): Be careful when booking here. - Specific people of the staff were helpful or kind, rest was either a scammer or a terrible costumber service moment - Got charged 350EGP for my key that was missing, I knew it was on my personal taxi and would give it back tomorrow, when the moment came and I was checking out (18h after) I tried to give them they key back and they didn’t want to give me my money back. What kinda world this people live in. Be careful when booking here - extremely old facilities, you won’t be able to sleep properly because the AC sounds like my old PS4 when playing Warzone. - pool was dirty. - location is next to one of their church’s so be ready to be woken up at 5am every day.
• Hatem (5/5): Passable - Good staf but evry thing is old room small No catell or hot water in the room
• Adriana (2/5): Poor conditions - Nothing. The hotel is in really bad conditions, from the entrance to the room. Dirty, walls, floors in really bad condition. AC worked really bad, fridge smells really bad, dirty. The "lounge" and receprion looked really old, ceiling and furniture in bad conditions. Dark.
• Shah (9/5): Superb - Good hotel thanks for everyone work in this hotel
• Dr. (7/5): Good -
• Flor (8/5): Good location but a dirty pool. - It was near stores, KFC and money exchange. The pool was disgusting. So dirty. It can't be used.
• Emma (2/5): Not good - The location was great. I was greeted by a frown when I come after a 15 hour train ride. We payed and when he counted he was missing 20 dollars. But we are sure we gave it as we had just exchanged our cash. So we knew how much money we had. But we were to tired to do anything about it. The first room we come to was not cleaned. We got a new room and the AC was so loud that we could not speak together. We got a new room where it was still quite loud but better. Here it smelled of cigarettes (there is a ash trey in the rooms) We checked out a day before and would not come here again. There are two people from the staff that were very nice and helpful. I wish we had met them when we checked in instead how we were greeted. Already said in the other part.
• Kushal (8/5): Nice hotel in a good location however they need to upgrade their air conditioning. - It is a basic hotel, the staff are very friendly and they do try to help you. The location is very good. The size of the room is very decent and it is not cramped. It is nice and quite inside. There is a swimming pool in the roof however it is small. If I were to visit aswan again I would live here. This hotel is ok not too bad. The wifi connection is ok. I have said I would visit this hotel again, however they need to upgrade the air conditioning as the machines are too old. Mine made a lot of noise and I could not sleep properly at night. The TVs are too basic. The size of the pool is too small and the wifi signal needs improving. Also, some staff members had difficulty in understanding basic English, especially the ones on night shift. The ones during the day do seem to understand English. Also, not the hotel's fault, the moment you step out of the hotel and walk towards the main street, the people from the shops try to sell you things, it felt very irritating at times.
• Dol (4/5): Disappointing -
• Martyn (7/5): god location and nice to have a pool to cool off - good location, cheap and cheerful - only had one night for a quick stay but wouldn't stay long term the floor was filthy
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good - All was fine Visa is not working and we paid in cache
• Roa (8/5): Very good - Excellent front desk staff The stairway to the hotel
• Raoxi (3/5): Aswan - Location close to the transportation and the market Facility, it isn't worth the value of money. Also the location of the hotel , you will need to take the stairs to reach the hotel, so it will be really difficult if you have some luggage,
• Ahmed (8/5): Very good -
• Lynton (3/5): Poor - Not much. Huge flight of stairs to get to the hotel, the room was run down.
• Eltigani (7/5): Good -
• Suad (7/5): Good -
• Eltigani (7/5): Good - Staff Location, especially if u don't want to cross the river. Cleanliness Comfortable Building needs renovation
• Mohammed (7/5): Good -
• Nic (1/5): Not even for a night.. - The staff was kind. Very old and dirty building, difficult to find. The room wasn't soundproof and noone clean up for 3 nights stay. The noise from the 80s air condition didn't let me sleep. And the mattress was terrible.
• Gerinem (7/5): Good - The staffs are very accommodating and attentive. there are stairs to reach the hotel and there are stairs inside the hotel before you reach the lift.
• Gamal (8/5): Very good - The Hotel location is good , the room is clean and the staff are friendly and helpful
• Yasir (3/5): My experience in Aswan wasn't pleased with the family - The swimming pool Yasir Elbakri Currently in Egypt yaseer762@gmail.com +249999009924 17/05/2023 Dear Booking.com Customer Service, I hope this letter finds you well. I have been an avid user of the Booking.com app for quite some time now, and I have recommended it to all my friends and family. I have helped many of them set up accounts and even book accommodations for their trips. I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent booking experience at Orchida St. George Hotel in Aswan, Egypt. First, let me begin by saying that, overall, I have been very pleased with the services provided by Booking.com. However, my last booking at Orchida St. George Hotel was not up to the standards I have come to expect. This trip was particularly special for me, as it was the first time I booked a trip for my family, including my wife and our baby. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were dismayed to find that the air-conditioning in our room was not working properly. Additionally, the room's cleanliness left much to be desired, and the fan provided was also in poor condition. These issues significantly impacted our overall enjoyment of our stay. As a loyal Booking.com user, I did not expect to encounter such a disappointing experience, particularly when traveling with my family. I understand that Booking.com is not directly responsible for the service provided by the hotels listed on your platform. However, I believe it is important for you to be aware of the issues faced by your users to maintain the high standards that Booking.com is known for. My intention in writing this letter is to help improve the overall quality of service for future customers. In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude for the exceptional service Booking.com has provided me in the past. I have had numerous positive experiences and will continue to use and recommend your platform.
• Mohamed (10/5): Very happy and would definitely recommend this place - Staff and location are the best deal Everything was perfect
• Mohamed (8/5): Very good -
• Hiba (5/5): Passable -
• Ramy (7/5): Good -
