Philae hotel is not minimum stundard according to the hotel fare.
Pros:

hotel location is vary nice along with nile river.

Cons:

Most bad thing of the hotel not availableity of the lift. Now a days it can't think a multistored hotel without a lift. It completely impossible to claimb 5 stored bulding. There narrow reception room is vary cheap with poorest furniture. There is no air condition at reception room. Therefore the waiting room is vary suffogating and anniying. One of the most bad thing is nominal breakfast of this hotel. The breakfast is not also munimum stundard with the big amount of hotel fare. Overall I have achived vary experince from philea hotel.

コスパの良い清潔で快適なビジネスホテル
Pros:

アブ・シンベルで一泊する前泊と後泊で合計2泊しました。口コミで賛否両論だったのでドキドキしながら泊まったのですが結果私はとても良いホテルだと思いました。部屋は他で泊まった3つ星ホテルよりよっぽど設備が整っていて快適で清潔でした。冷房も効いており、バスタブがあるのが嬉しかったです。朝食も美味しかったですし、2泊目は出発が朝食に間に合わなかったのでお弁当を持たせてくださいました。スタッフの方は口コミ通り親切です。確かにエレベーターがないのでチェックアウトの時には自分でスーツケースを持って降りる必要がありますが（私が泊まった部屋は2泊とも3階でした）、無理な場合は受付でお願いすれば降ろしてもらえるのではと思いました。アブ・シンベルに泊まるのに大きいスーツケースを持って行きたくなかったので受付にお願いしたら戻ってくるまで快く預かってくださいました。2泊ともリバービューの部屋に泊まりましたが眼下のナイル川沿いのメインストリートの喧騒を眺めるのも私にとっては楽しい経験でした。2泊とも同じグレードの部屋を予約したのですが、なんというか1泊目の方が微妙に各種設備の機能が良い気がしたので、口コミは部屋のグレードや部屋ガチャによるものなのでしょうか。歩いてすぐのところにあるEmy Barでは、ナイル川に沈む夕日を眺めながらお手頃価格でエジプトのビールが飲めます。酔っ払っても転がって帰れる距離なので安心。私は大満足の宿泊でした！

Cons:

特にありません

Basic
Pros:

Location is just across the street from the cruise ships. We arrived at 00:30, but the late check-in was not a problem. The driver was waiting, and we checked in without any issues.

Cons:

Breakfast. Noise from the street. No hot water 🤣

Cons:

Het voornaamste deel was de hygiene, er waren nog haren in de douche en er zat nog een drol in de wc…. Vreselijk. Verder was het prima.
