The place is a perfect getaway away from the hustle and bustle of Aswan (and much needed). The pool is nice and the atmosphere is lovely. You can swim in the Nile too! The manager upgraded our room free of charge and provided takeaway breakfasts for us when we had to leave at 4am for a flight. Would 100% recommend if you have a few days and want to relax. Best place to stay in the area hands down.

We had a disturbing experience of harassment. While the receptionist was showing my sister-in-law to the room she would stay in, he harassed her with his hand. After checking out of the hotel, when my sister-in-law told me that she was being harassed, I did not get any results although I contacted the hotel manager and sent an e-mail to booking.com.

I love all of it! The location is perfect, the house is just beautiful with all the nice colors and paintings and amazing views to the Nile. I stayed in a very comfortable and big room with a small balcony. The staff is very friendly and helpful specially Aya and Tamer. And Tamer even speaks a bit of Spanish which is not common in Egypt. The breakfast is amazing as well as the Egyptian food options available if you want to have lunch or dinner. It is very nice to walk around the streets of the Nubian village and there is a local market very close where you can find lots of nice things.

Unlike Cairo, Aswan is much slower paced and people are much nicer. The city has several historical sites, temples, and islands. The views and food are amazing. I’m skipping Cairo on my next trip to Egypt and coming straight to Aswan and Luxor.

A very beatiful place to relax and enjoy the sun during winter.
We felt very safe and happy.
The local market is great it has unique and authentic goods.
The philae Temple is great it has spots to take photos and great views.
We enjoyed the Botonical Garden very much as it has plants from all over the world.
The feluca ride is one of the best things we enjoyed but first you have to agree on the price.

Tombs of the Nobles were really neat if you can make it over to the other bank. Watch out for the camel guys there though. We got roped into $50 camel rides.
Aswan was probably our least favorite stop in Egypt. Harassment by salespeople was higher here than at the Great Pyramids, and much higher than Luxor! We couldn't walk anywhere at anytime of the day without a salesperson walking with us for several blocks. And as soon as they were done, someone else would take over. Its too bad, I think the corniche could be a really pretty walk!

Aswan is pleasant pretty city on upper Nile within easy day excursion to Abu Simbel. Don't ride camel at Giza, ride one at Aswan out into the desert. Ride felucca boat around Elephantine Island. Eat at King Jamaica restaurant. Stop to see unfinished obelisk

Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
I didn’t realize that the hotel was undergoing a little construction. It looked like they were upgrading their ramp. This meant we had to carry our bags up the stairs to the lobby.
The property is beautiful and has a terrific view of the town and we could see the Nile from our room. The restaurant was very good- we had dinner there.
BTW the construction noise never bothered us. We couldn’t hear it at all.

If you are doing the Initiatic path, Elephantine Island is so perfect. We stayed at Mango Tree (feel like exotic move stars) and Nubian Dreams (also a restaurant but we scored their top floor room and that is super fun) We also stayed at Nubian Palace, oh my gosh. Take a little private ferry and go to that place. Its so memorable. Philae temple was set up from our host at Nubian Palace (which we usually never do but she is a badass and handles it so you don't have to negotiate to and from the ferry marina) Stay on the west bank. Never the east. Its so loud and full of hustle. The west bank is like real Egypt. Lovely. Easy to start the temple path to Abu Simbel by hopping on a local large bus. Fun, cheap, easy. (Its a little more coming back but its all very cheap so be nice and accept the system) From here you can take a train, bus or private taxi to Kom Ombo and Edfu as you make your way to Luxor. (ALSO STAY ON THE WEST BANK in luxor) What a lovely quiet and profoundly spiritual adventure.
Such a beautiful, relaxed place on the Nile, overlooking Aswan, staff are so friendly and will go out of their way to help you. They picked us up in Aswan on their boat and took us back to the Island which is stunning. We had a Nile view balcony and was great just to sit and watch the boats. Breakfast was included and was a great Egyptian breakfast, we also ate dinner over looking the Nile, which was so reasonable and all freshly prepared They can also organise trips for you
We would stay here again.
This is a great place to stay in Aswan. The room is nice with comfortable beds. The facilities are clean and the shower has plenty of hot water. Ahmed was a fantastic host, doing everything to make sure we had a good stay. He provided extra blankets when it was cold and a hair dryer. He also arranged a great trip to Abu Simbel for us. We would certainly stay again. A very good place to eat, only five minutes walk away, with excellent, freshly cooked Egyptian food is Kana Kato.
EVERYTHING was simply perfect! The food was the BEST we had in Egypt. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable, clean, and eco friendly which we love! The service and hospitality far surpasses any 5 star hotel. Tamir proactively arranged our airport transfer, a romantic sunset dinner along the Nile, and even accommodated an extended stay for us all before we even left the USA. We would have stayed longer if our trip allowed, we loved Ayujidda so much.This must not be missed!
Very lovely people, helpful manager that kept checking on us. We arranged everything from the hotel manager Othman himself, and it was done at great prices. The rooms were very clean and the view is fantastic. Will sure come back for an extended trip again in the future. There is so much to do Aswan.
On also they picked us up from the hotel to the mainland for the Abu Simbil tour which usually starts at 4 am, there are no public boats at 4 am in the morning.
Good location. Lovely decorations and room is quite new with good view to Nile river with balcony. Service is exceptional, over our expectations at first. Good stop to stay and discover Aswan after some discoveries with long walking in Cairo since the hotel is very quite and made us feel very peaceful with good sleep. Can book boat tour directly from hotel too with reasionable price. Besides, love the hotel's staff and manager, all is super duper supportive.
I would recommend anyone travels to Aswan book this. The host really gives me a real flavour of Nubian life style and he is so good in arranging all your travels hassle free with a reasonable price.
Plus the juice is insanely good and internet quicker than 5 star hotel I have lived in Cairo and Luxor.
I rarely left any comment but this is a solid recommendation from me, especially if you like me who travels with no clear agenda booked ahead.
We’ve been in several hotels in Egyp (even 5 stars) but I think this is the place where we most enjoyed our stay. it is clean and very spacious. Beds are not the best in the world but are ok. The location is so good, since elefantina is a quiet and calm place. Ali (the manager) is such a good guy, he made us feel like at home. The rooftop is amazing and you can order food (I recommend the Camel Tajin) and drinks (beer too). breakfast is so good.
Beautiful location in the heart of Aswan. Wonderful hotel with very attentive and caring staff. Everyone from the management to the cooking staff made you feel very welcome and genuinely happy to see you. We loved the staff everywhere especially Ahmed-Khalaf in the dining area who brought us special food every night and French fries for my 10 year old. we loved every minute of our stay there.
Such amazing staff. I was rebooked in a nearby hotel (just on the next building) due to overbooking because of a technical glitch, but the staff, esp Mr. Ahmed, made sure we have no further inconveniences and provided exceptional service.
Highly recommend them for a nice and quiet stay in the Nubian village area by the Nile river, away from the busy hustle of Aswan.
The best hotel in Aswan and of what we have been traveling in Egypt. Super attentive staff, they look for us taxis - with price list-, takeaway, because if I had to find a but, it is that there is no restaurant service. Everything very clean. Located in the middle of the market. Very honest and reasonable with prices. I recommend it 100x100.

Overall had a great visit here! The rooms were very comfortable and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! They made us feel welcome and arranged for a late checkout so we could leave our things in the room until our train in the evening. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay in Aswan!
Best hotel so far in Egypt! The location in the Nubian village of Elephantine Island is great/calm and the rooms are clean.
The highlight is really the owner Saef who is the kindest person we met: he welcomed us with delicious drinks and was so helpful in organizing trips to Abu Simbel and felouca.
Highly recommended!
Good location.
Even the hotel it’s self is not 5star hotel, they have staff can be considered as 5 star hotel staff.
Special thanks for Ms. Sonata who helped out my broken travel item. She has good idea to fix most of the trouble that you would have.
And Mr.Khaled, who help my wifi problem all the time.
The view of the hotel was beautiful overlooking parts of Aswan and it was close to the center so location wise it was perfect. The staff was also friendly especially Maria and Reham, both were very helpful so thanks to both of them in addition to the message therapist Nana.
Best value in Aswan if not Egypt. Opted for a Tent with Futon on the roof, which provided a wonderful view of the Nile and southern section of Elephant island . Very good breakfast and ample parking .
Its a 15/20 minute walk to the Nile and Souk area of Aswan.
what we liked about Citymax Hotel Aswan was:
1. The location: it is in front of the Nile river and it is in the middle of everything
2. The staff: they were very friendly and helpful. They help us to booked our car from Aswan to Luxor at the last minute
The hotel team makes you feel at home. Tamer and his team were just lovely and did take a lot of care of us. It is located in opposite of Aswan across the Nile and gives you a wonderful impression of the Nubian side of Egypt. Totally recommendable!
Appreciated Mr.Islam Mr.Mustafa very good model’s and mindset to deal with them all support given flexibility politely. Definitely we plan to visit this hotel again .
Also special thanks to Mrs / Rawan who organised our booking on phone.
Thanks .
Hotel was very convenient to the Nile riverfront in beautiful Aswan, walkable to the bazaar and a few restaurants. Great view of river and boats from room. Nice convenient breakfast. Quick laundry service.
