Keylany Hotel — Hotel in Abd Al Aazim Hassn

The room itself did it's duty. Breakfast was meagre, though the attendant was amiable. The owners though nice enough at first are relentless with offering tours, which ultimately ruined our stay with them. It felt very uncomfortable to even walk by the reception because they would try to sell you something. It really sucks to come as a tourist to Egypt where every which way you get touts on the streets, but then to get it also in your lodging....needless to say it sucks. We did cave in and asked about one tour. It was not good. The tour company that the hotel uses is very shady. Kept changing the pricing on us up to time that we left. Supposedly there were going to be 4 in our group, ended up being 6, which was fine but they tried to charge us more because they had to use a larger vehicle to accommodate us all. Very uncomfortable to protest what was already agreed upon. Supposedly we were to get a guide to a couple different sites, all in all the guide was of no use, just pretty much said here is the site I'll be at the coffee stand when you are ready to leave. Ridiculous. They cut our tour short, we didn't go to the unfinished obelisk, and tried to convince us that it was not worth the time in going and that it's dangerous for women to go because of uneven pavement. WHAT!?. Honestly, we were so fed up by then that we were fine just going back. We really wanted to go to Abu simbel, but unfortunately could not find another hotel that had space. Keylany did have space, as they kept notifying us by knocking on our door, but I would've much rather missed abu simbel than to give any more money to these people or that tour company. In conclusion, find another...

Normally, I do not give negative reviews if the staff is fair, but I am allergic to lies which unfortunately was the case here. ||To start with the room: worst value for money in Egypt (22USD/single room), small, mouldy room with ants and insects all around, no natural light, poor ventilation.||But that would not matter too much: the worst are the lies from the owner, I arranged a 3 day cruise with him, that was supposed to start at noon the following day. In the morning the cruise pick-up arrives and says there is no departure today, but I can check-in in the boat and wait 1 day (of course pay for it full price) and we will cruise the next day full day and arrive to Luxor in day 3 morning and check out. So what was sold to me as leisurely 3Days and 2 Nights cruise, effectively turned out to be a 24hour express rush. Fortunately I got my money back when I cancelled, but lost time and felt cheated. Also the day before they promised I can share a double room on the boat for reduced price but on the supposed day of departure they claimed it is not possible anymore and need to pay single supplement. So lies from the beginning...

My boyfriend and I stayed at Keylany Hotel in Aswan and had a wonderful experience. Located right in the heart of the city with easy access to the water and the souks and restaurants, it made it so we could go by foot. The rooms are simple with few luxuries, but it was everything we needed for our stay. A highlight was a delicious breakfast served to us on the gorgeous roof deck by the friendly staff. The easygoing and helpful owner was generous in offering up recommendations and making us comfortable. At this price point it would be difficult to find a better hotel...
