While the view of the Nile from both our rooms was spectacular, the only thing better was the service we received from the staff. They were so polite, friendly and accommodating, ever ready to help and make sure we were satisfied with everything. We have travelled extensively and can confidently say that the staff at Blue Lotus are some of the best we have experienced. The location is further out and really only accessible by car. Nothing nearby to walk to, but we knew that and were more than happy with the location. It was a quiet area, but with some construction happening. We ate at the restaurant so after our days out sightseeing, we stayed in for the evenings. Just note there are multiple exterior steps to go down and then up again into the hotel. I was travelling with an injury, but still managed ok. The rooms were large, good AC, excellent views, free water and complimentary breakfast was provided. Restaurant staff were excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending Blue Lotus hotels in Aswan.
