True by all means, it is a resort amidst natural beauty of Aswan. Basma Hotel, despite being our first experience, was an amazing choice and true reward. The place is centrally situated in aswan with proximity to all attractions, city and wonderful activities that tourist and peace seekers would think of. The resort occupies a hill top enabling magestic view of the Nile, the port and great mountains of Aswan. The panorama there is mesmerizing and captures the soul. So romantic, elegant and simple. The resort packs full services within and beyond expectations ( massage, gift shop, business center and wonderful catering). We were lucky to witness a Nubian Wedding ceremony at the luxurious activity area if the resort. Was stylish, amazing and simple- just a true representation of the Aswan culture. Basma Hotel offered guided tours to historic attractions in and around Aswan, leaving you with opportunity to explore and learn more about Egyptology and a 7000 years’ civilization. The unique touch about Basma Hotel is the care and attention they embrace you with even before your arrival. Thanks to dedication and customer centricity of Reham Ezz (guest relations Mgr.) and Hamdi Abdulaziz (deputy GM). I was amazed to the welcoming scene at my room which left me speechless ( a nice welcome message written with flowers on bed). The place was a true destination for comfy stay and a relaxation after busy months of work. The scenic view of the pool from the rooms is a reminder of heavenly delights. Sitting by the pool morning or night time is a definite feel of joy, company and romance. I did find it a reward beyond expectation. And for sure Basma Hotel Aswan will be a number 1 choice for any visit to this magical city.

“Very friendly Hotel”

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.

“Needs better management and updating”

I stayed at this hotel as part of a tour. The hotel is located on a hill above the famous Old Cataract Hotel, so has a wonderful view of the Nile. The hotel is very clean, it has a large pool, with comfortable sun beds and umbrellas. The room was very clean with comfortable beds, toiletries were provided. Overall, the hotel looked tired and ready for a renovation, he hotel gardens were partly maintained, but if properly managed would be gorgeous. The breakfast was good, but an evening meal in the same restaurant was awful. The service was Disorganise and not good, - really non existent, we were only able to order drinks once as no one came to take second orders, and the bar was not manned. The pool bar at the pool was also not manned, so even ordering a bottle of water was very hard work. There were shops located near the gardens, but they were locked up. I feel that the hotel lacks management and this is a shame as the hotel has potential, but if I had a choice I would not stay at this hotel again.
