Pyramisa Island Hotel

I stayed at Pyramisa Aswan, and I was really impressed! The hotel has become much better than before — very clean, comfortable, and organized. The staff are all so friendly, polite, and always ready to help. Everyone makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

The spa is also great! It’s very clean and relaxing, and the therapists are professional and kind. I did a massage there and it was really amazing — very relaxing and exactly what I needed. The jacuzzi is clean and calm, and the whole spa atmosphere is peaceful.

If I ever come back to Aswan, I would definitely stay at Pyramisa again and go to spa for sure. Everything was perfect, and the people working there really make the place special.

Rooms were little outdated.. locks were little old.. shower area was less functional because the space in the shower area was less and water spills out from the shower area due to small glass cover which makes the floor wet.
Location was amazing but nowhere it says that you have need to take ferry for every movement. And food was good they have 3 restaurants inside

Stayed here with my dad as part of our trip up the Nile. By far the best hotel we stayed in during our trip. Ms Christeen was great and very welcoming - as we're all of the staff.

Rooms are lovely with views of the Nile and the pool area especially is beautiful. The boat to the island is easy enough and is roughly every 10 minutes operating all day & night.

It is difficult to find words to describe the hosting in Pyramisa. The island is amazing, well entertained, the pools are amazing and the scenery around the island is stunning.
We did not use the spa experience but the rest of the services were great!
Some special mention for the dinner, which is good, at a fair price and the employees are really nice.
Namely, the custom manager (really gentle), Faisal (working in the swimming pool), Safi (excursions in felucca) and Jacob (jewellery shop) who are truly kind and goodhearted.
Long story short, we highly recommend you this hotel.

The facilities are a bit dated, definitely have shown the age of the hotel. Hoping that the hotel can do some refurbishment to return the hotel to its former glory.
The boat is easily accessible from the dock across the Egypt Air office

The best hotel I stayed in Egypt the past 20 years!

When I read the reviews, I wasn’t sure if I should stay here—but in the end, I’m so grateful I made this amazing decision. I was traveling alone and prefer a slower pace rather than rushing from one tourist spot to another. I originally booked for three days but ended up extending my stay by one more night because I absolutely loved the environment here.

Transportation:
If you’re using INDRIVE, the correct location to input is Pyramisa Isis Island pick-up point. However, on Google Maps, you can also navigate to Travel with Weso—it’s the same place. From there, wait for the shuttle boat, which comes about every 10 minutes. The ride to the hotel takes around 7 minutes. During my stay, I visited Abu Simbel Temple and Philae Temple, but you need to first take the shuttle boat back to the city to start those trips.

Service:
Huge thanks to Manager Christine. After a 12-hour train ride to get here, her warm smile and kind service made me feel instantly at home. She arranged an early check-in and even upgraded my room to one with a beautiful balcony overlooking the Nile. The front desk staff were also incredibly friendly. The whole experience was so touching that on my last night, I had tears in my eyes as I passed the reception. They noticed, and when I got back to my room, I received a call just to check in on me.
During breakfast, the servers were attentive and often engaged in light conversation, which made the whole experience feel warm and relaxing.

Facilities:
As mentioned in other reviews, the facilities are a bit dated. But in my personal experience, the cleanliness was acceptable. Previously, I stayed in a Pyramid View room at Mena House in Cairo, and honestly, I found the cleanliness to be similar. Perhaps it wasn’t great in the past, but maybe they’ve improved. The breakfast is buffet-style with a modest but sufficient variety: about 5–6 types of bread, a salad section, hot dishes, and beverages.

Sailing Experience:
This was the highlight of my stay, and I highly recommend it. Ask for Captain SAFI—a reliable and professional Nubian sailor. You can find him right next to the hotel’s dock, so there’s no need to go all the way into town to book a sailboat. These boats serve only hotel guests, so the service quality is excellent. Just agree on a price you’re comfortable with—there’s no hard selling.
Even better, they are happy to tailor the experience to your preferences, including timing and what kind of scenery you’d like to see. I love the Nile, so I ended up doing four days of sailing.
• On the first day, I enjoyed a one-hour sunset cruise.
• On the second day, I swam in the shallow waters of the Nile for two hours, then visited a Nubian village, returning to watch the sunset on the river.
• On the third day, Captain SAFI introduced me to beautiful water-bound trees and I swam again.
I later found out they even offer full-day trips where you can drift along the Nile on the sailboat—but sadly, I was about to leave.
These few days were deeply immersive and serene. The gentle, peaceful Nile has become one of the most special and unforgettable memories of my life. I’m especially thankful to the thoughtful Captain SAFI for such a wonderful experience.

⭐️ I hope those of you choosing to stay here will fully experience the magic of the Nile. Wishing you all peace and joy. I truly hope to return again someday.
