Pyramisa Isis Island Hotel Aswan

Thank you for a lovely satyGuest Rating: 4.5

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Pyramisa Isis Island hotel. The surroundings were beautiful and the atmosphere very nice and relaxing. We enjoyed nice service and can strongly recommend taking a massage! We also appreciated the large variety of available activities such as tennis, squash, minigolf and sandbaths apart from the two lovely swimming pools!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Relaxed atmosphere, lovely surroundings, fabulous breakfast, great massage, large variety of activities.

Expensive restaurants, a bit disagreeable walking through the shopping area each time we went to/from the lobby-area.

• Hotel Feature Tip : Sandbath & great massage!

Repairs and updating neededGuest Rating: 2.7

Do not go to the Nubian Villages that the guidebooks write up as "charming, shady narrow streets," etc. We relied on Lonely Planet in deciding to go and the narrative of the book was nothing like the actual experience. We were not allowed to wander on our own but had to go with the "Chief" who then wanted money for the "tour." The area has heaps of garbage with sheep and goats eating the trash. The few people we encountered were not friendly. There is nothing to see.

• Shopping Tip : This could also be a "sightseeing.attraction" tip. The local bazaar/market near the train station is an interesting evening. Learn a few words of Arabic and interact with the vendors. They're very nice but remember to bargain hard.
