Very good hotel, only meters away from the souk. My bedroom was clean and big, as well as the bedroom, even though the shower was quite old (which is often the case in Egypt). Helpfull staff and great facilites: fantastic rooftop with swimming pool, wifi, computers... They also allow travelers who check out in the morning to leave their bags for the day and even use facilites (swimming pool, showers, etc!). Only disapointment was the breakfast, which could have been bigger.

The toilet in our room did not flush very well. Also the shower flooded the bathroom floor. Thankfully there were a lot of towels to mop up the excess, but that was somewhat annoying. Lastly, there was no soap dish in the shower.

Its a run down middle class hotel in Egypt where nothing was invested the last 20 years.. the AC was antique and so loud that I couldnt sleep (and Aswan is hot..!), the sheets smelled like smoke and the bathroom is a joke - you could not sit on the toilet without bumping your knee on the washing basin, the shower had very little water.. I would have never paid 20 US a night! You are way better of with cheaper options! Breakfast took 1 hour to be prepared and wasnt great either.

We stayed this hostel for two night. As many people said, the breakfast was amazing. The room we stayed was no problem using Internet because our room was the first floor. The stuff are very friendly and helpful.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the Hotel Manager, who is always helpful to organize my Abu Simbel half day trip (70LE) and also help to organize shared minivan to Luxor from Aswan (drop by Com Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple). For traveller who is coming from Aswan AIrport, it is advisable to get the hotel to organize airport pick-up at about 60-70LE. The reason is the taxi drivers hanging at airport areas are hostile and over-charge foreigners (100 LE up).

Quite a distance from the train station. I love the pool on the roof and the delicious crepe in breakfast. They provide half day trip to Unifinished Obelisk, Philae Temple, High Dam & Kalabsha Temple for LE150. Also, they provide private car from Aswan to Luxor with stops at Kom Ombo temple and Edfu temple for 6 hours costing LE350. Great for me!!!

Nice stay here. Very comfortable, and a WONDERFUL breakfast on the roof in the morning. Friendly staff, and they let us store our bags after we checked out.

Breakfast was very good, but it was shame there was no food or drink available at other times. Staff were very helpful indeed, offering lots of good advice.

definitely too expensive in relation to the quality of service and to the type of rooms which are very very bad. Not all recommendable !!!!

The most expensive hotel we stayed during our trip. They added an extra 10USD because of high season. However, they have great value transport only tours to Abu Simbel and Luxor. Breakfast is good, nice pancakes, the breakfast provided with the 3AM departing Abu Simbel tour is comparable with the one served on the roof top. The shower was quite old in our room, at first I couldn't figure out how to get cold water (you needed to turn like 10 times before it started flowing).

The Keylany Hotel may once have been value for money, but that is no longer the case. It is overpriced for what it offers and the standards it may once have had are do not appear to be there anymore. The room and bathroom was not "spotless" but at the very edge of acceptable cleanliness. This level of care is not appropriate for its price.

For Keylany: 1 VFM 2 Very caring staff 3 Reasonable tours & nice taxis 4 Great location just opposite to Nile river & in between big market Against Keylany: 1 Entrance from unfinished & broken street road 2 Small room (we took triple) 3 Too small bathroom (couldn't take bath easily) 4 Free wi-fi only worked in lounge 5 All other facilities like TV, Fridge, Jacuzzi etc need maintenance. OVERALL I WOULD RECOMMEND KEYLANY FOR THEIR SERVICES & SUPPORT.

Good facilities with friendly and helpful staff. Sent several emails after booking to which they replied once with confusing info. regarding Abu Simbel. Made a packed breakfast for the early start and gave full use of facilities even though we checked out. Good location, stone throw from the Nile and markets. Wi-fi was not working when we were there.

I really liked the staff until it came to the time when we were leaving. We were 10 minutes late getting back for our cab ride to the airport and the guy working behind the desk became quite rude. Also even though the hotel has a roof top restaurant it's not used and the breakfast wasn't substantial, meaning I had to buy breakfast every day - some foul and ta3maya would have been nice!
