From the welcome drink on we loved everything. A lovely place to stay

I saw this hotel last year so I knew where it was, right on the west bank of the Nile. I had the best room, which is Nubian style and had its own private large terrace with chairs, a table and sunbeds. I write and was able to work whenever I wanted from here. At night the cosy room with a nice bed provides a good sleep. The staff just cannot do enough for you, whatever you want they will try to provide, plus a bit more. Mohammed, the chef, is the best in all Egypt!

Only flies. I bought a spray, but a fan in the room is a good idea for this.

We arrived early by bus and they sent a car to collect us for 10 Dollars. Honestly it is not a good road into the village and it was so good to have someone know where we were going. They allowed us to check in early. They have the most amazing mango juices. The food is fantastic. You are paying for an experience. They will bend over backwards for you and they go out of their way to accommodate your needs. They keep you safe and give you tips. The room had no windows but the fridge works and the aircon works. My husband did not like the shower, its just over the toilet. I do not mind it all that much. The room is not big but we had a balcony or would sit at the eating corner. I would suggest this as a must to all travelers. Thank you to Opal Nubian for the wonderful memories!

The Hospitality, View and food

Nothing

The hotel was cozy and comfortable, and the staff were helpful and courteous. They ensured that refreshments and amenities were always available. The view was beautiful, and I especially enjoyed the atmosphere in the evenings. The hotel organized a gathering that brought together locals and guests, featuring Nubian music and dancing. It was an amazing experience with an intimate and very welcoming atmosphere. The staff were respectful and went above and beyond to ensure the guests' comfort. The bed and linens were very comfortable. The hotel also arranged trips to various attractions by boat and car, and you could take a camel ride into the desert directly from the hotel. The location was excellent, right next to the bazaar but still peaceful and private. There was also an ATM located right in front of the hotel. I initially booked the hotel for a few nights but extended my stay because I enjoyed it so much. They even upgraded my room to a larger one with a private terrace and a stunning view of the river! I also really appreciated the beautiful paintings and decorations, which added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. I dined at the hotel every day, and the food was absolutely incredible – fresh and flavorful! I highly recommend this place; it offers excellent value for money.

Our hotel manager Selim made sure everything was arranged from boat rides into Aswan, rides to the airport, and great customer service at the hotel. The chef Mahmoud was very nice to us well, helping with a series of early starters that I know he didn't sleep a ton because of. The hotel is beautiful, would highly recommend.

Excellent location, staff very helpful and freindly, room was clean and breakfast was good

Living simple with a very nice and cozy atmosphere on the edge of the Nile river. Very relaxing and different than anything you have ever experienced.

On our way to the village the road was very rough, too many construction sites, road digging and unattended

Opal was one, if not the, best hotels we used. amazing location, directly on the shore of the Nile, with a lovely restaurant Terrance on its shore. the hotel itself is on a very attractive tourist friendly strip on Aswan. Super clean and very well kept, while maintaining its Nubian character. very comfortable. The staff are absolutely amazing, and I can sincerely call them friends after the very pleasant and generous hospitality they shown us. They went way above duty to keep us comfortable happy. Very helpful. I honestly can not commend highly enough. I rarely go online to rate places, but I felt obliged for Opal Hotel family. Keep up the good work guys.

nothing to criticise… amazing hotel all around
