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!

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.

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

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

Where do I start? The location is AMAZING, you have the option to swim in the Nile. The food provided is so nice & huge portions. The staff are unbelievable m, they go the extra mile for you. I’m leaving Opal feeling like I have made friends here, Selin the manager is a great guy. Gave us loads of recommendations on what to see & places to eat if we wanted to go into Aswan for dinner. While we were here the electricity cut out but the guys here had everything up and running within a few hours. I would definitely recommend Opal to anyone & if I come back would be more than happy to stay again!!!!!!!! Thank you to the team for making our stay so memorable:)

Genuinely I can’t say that there is anything negative

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
