Villa Misk

Clean room, fantastic view, friendly staff

Nice clean room with a magnificent view. This is a fantastic family owned hotel; Ahmed and his son Joseph made sure I had everything I needed during my stay in Aswan and made arrangements for my tour to Abu Simbel and Nile Cruise to Luxor. Staff was ultra friendly!

Excellent hospitality, location and cooking!

My daughter and I travelled together and the trip to beautiful Aswan was made much better by our stay at Villa Misk. It is a little bit out of the way but worth the view and hospitality. Ahmed helped make arrangements for our travel needs around Aswan. The view of the Nile and Philae Temple is gorgeous.

Nowhere in the world during our extensive travels, be it business, pleasure, or military service, have we ever experienced a more welcoming host as the owner of Villa Misk in Aswan Egypt. Ahmed (the owner) went above and beyond to show us hospitality and care. Even going so far as to save our vacation when a tour company we had booked online (and pre-paid for) did not show up. He made a few calls and quickly someone arrived by boat only meters away from our door first take us to the ticket station at Marina Philae and then to Philae Temple and finally back to Villa Misk. He (Ahmed) also arranged taxis for us into the city for dinner at our request, our transportation to the airport at the end of our stay, and breakfast for us two days in a row. This is a big deal because Villa Misk is not so much a hotel but rather a guesthouse if you are European or think Airbnb if you are from North America. Our experience here we can honestly say was better than the 5-star hotels and resorts we stayed at in Cairo and Luxor. Overall and to the point, Ahmed and his Villa Misk have our absolute trust, gratitude, and of course recommendations. Sincerely, Chris & Sara von Herrmann Fort Worth, Texas, United States April 2021

Lovely stay

Overall, our stay was good. It's a nice and clean place with a beautiful view of the Nile river and the islands of Aswan. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the location, because you still need about 20mins by car if you want to get to the center. And the owner was very lovely, he ordered us some pizza in the evening because we were too tired to drive to town.

Not my best stay in Egypt

Two qualifications for anyone reading this review to keep in mind. First, I was there in mid-October (hot) of the 2020, and the hotel had not had any guests for months. Second, I don't know what it is in Aswan, but no hotels or tours are reasonably priced compared to elsewhere in Egypt, especially Cairo. So I'm not so sure on the value-for-money question if there is a better option. I booked Villa Misk for my final nights in Aswan to be close to the Philae Temple and the airport, and also because Ahmed had such good reviews himself. Indeed he is knowledgeable and attentive and a credit to the term hospitality. The facility, as I experienced it, was not. The cleaning issues are probably not something others will experience as I did, and I think Ahmen genuinely will fix this (he was not present during my stay, but we communicated frequently during my stay). The state of the new building is a different story: It's poorly finished in too many places, with gaps between door frames and walls, a cracked bath tub, and ceiling moulding that was seemingly painted by a 4yo with a big brush. The kitchen stored everything, including gasoline and motor oil, except much kitchware. You might say that all of this is acceptable for a 3-star in Egypt, but why at the same price as 4 and 5-star hotels in Cairo? Perhaps Cairo adjusted their prices more to compete for customers during Covid-19 reopening, but to be fair to all those that made the effort, I have to make these above points.

Great view of the lake and Philae Temple. The chef was exceptional. The manager was super friendly and informative.

The property has an amazing location right by the water and a boat ride away from the Philae temple. The owner of the property Ahmed gives great advice on when to visit the attractions in and around Egypt, it was spot on and we avoided crowds. He also arranged trustworthy people to drive us around for our day trips and didn’t over charge us. I highly recommend his property and thank Ahmed for being a guide and friend to us through this adventure we had in Egypt.

This property is a bit south outside the main city center which makes it the perfect escape for a peaceful retreat and view of real Aswan life. Tucked away along the water, getting to the island of Philea is easy and an enjoyable boat ride away. Ahmed is super attentive and responds quickly to any need that may arrive. Food was delicious, plentiful, and reasonably priced.

The property had a great view of the Nile River. I really wanted to see Abu Simbel but apparently you need to notify the government 1 day in advance. The owner Ahmed tried his best he couldnt get the tickets for us so he instead a booked a whole day tour for us to see the Philae Temple, visit the high dam, hike the Nubian Village, and dine on island at sunset across from Philae Temple to see the light show at night. Everything was planned perfectly by him. We traveled by boat to each site by his boat guy who was amazing, friendly and well mannered. The maid of the hotel doesnt speak much english but her breakfast tastes good. The hotel room has strong AC, the shower has no curtains and water will spray everywhere but they have a mop to clean it, beds were clean. No elevator so have to carry luggage up the stairs if staying on 2nd floor. Also no security person on site but they have 24/7 security cameras along the premises and in public areas. Ahmed was easy to communicate with and his english is good, can communicate with him easily on whatsapp or fb messenger.
