Seliyaa Siwa Inn Hotel

Lovely staff, very homely feel. Sahara desert excursion was 2000 pounds and oasis day trip with fatnis island, cleopatra pool, salt lakes was 2200. We booked it through the hotel which made it comfortable and no hassle and the people were so lovely in siwa and our tour guides too. It made the experience a lot better. Siwan people are very kind and honest. The inn is very big, we got a room upgrade too, which was very nice. They have lovely decoration like hammock, and swings with big lovely garden. The room was a bit dated but it was big and nice and for a rural area was very nice. Overall I would recommend and it is worth staying here.

There are power outages sometimes but that’s throughout all of siwa. It is a rural area which we didn’t really expect but it was beautiful and very worth coming to see. The place is not in the main centre but it’s a 80-100 Egyptian pound tuk tuk away. Be careful about walking alone through the rural areas as there are loose dogs that run at you.

The host was not very responsive (offering only overpriced taxi service and extra fee for AC), there was a cockroach in the room. On both nights the electricity went out as the region was affected by power outages – which is outside of the control of the owners, of course but usually hotels have Electricity backup.

Lits très confortable dans les bungalows et le personnel très sympathique, accueillant et toujours disponible. Nous avons pu faire le check in dès le matin même si c'était prévu normalement pour le début d'après-midi. Aussi, nous avons pu rester plus longtemps dans l'hébergement que ce qui était indiqué, ce qui est très arrangeant de leur part.

Les douches communes étaient assez vétustes mais elles étaient régulièrement nettoyés donc ça allait. Petit déjeuner égyptien assez simple.

Great location, great breakfast, lovely staff

Everything was amazing

Heavenly stay in the heat of Siwa Oasis! The staff is so welcoming and helpful, they made my mum and I feel so welcomed! Shakshuka (eggs with vegetables) is not to be missed for breakfast. The rooms are equipped with pillows, soft blankets, hot water, fridge, TV, and a spacious closet. A huge thank you to the owner (Amr) and the amazing team: Mohamed, Ahmed, Shaaban, and Hussein. I can’t wait to be back. Bonus: they have camels, dogs and cats around the property if you love animals, this is your spot :)

Het hotel is goed. Veel respect voor de mensen die er werken. Het ontbijt is perfect adequaat. Siwa is subliem.

Zoals overal in Egypte is de Wifi abominabel. Verder heb ik het als lone male traveller al vaak meegemaakt dat men doet alsof ik niet besta. Het was eindejaar en het hotel was quasi leeg. Ik beantwoord ook duidelijk niet aan wat een toerist moet zijn : een groep mensen die uit een bus wordt gedropt voor een 'night in the desert', of een koppel met twee schattige kinderen. De dame des huizes heb ik niet gezien de vijf dagen dat ik er ben geweest. Ik heb een half uur bij de lege receptie gestaan terwijl een aantal mannen ronddwalen zonder mijn bestaan te bevestigen. Als je dan uiteindelijk iemand aanspreekt zijn ze best vriendelijk en bereid. Ik voelde me een getolereerd meubelstuk. Maar goed, verder niets dan lof. Echt waar.

Rest personale estremamente gentile e attento a ogni esigenza Ho avuto un paio di problemi e sono stati davvero veloci ad aiutarmi a risolverli al meglio Per i tour si appoggiano all’agenzia siwa guide che è semplicemente fantastica e attenta ad ogni dettaglio! Chiedete di Youssif e non ve pentirete!

I and my friend loved our stay at Seliyaa and our time in Siwa so much that we would be happy to be back at Seliyaa hotel anytime. The hotel is pretty close to town, only 20 minute walk, and very close to the dessert as well. We arrived at the hotel around 8 am from the overnight bus from Cairo, Amany, the hotel manager, let us check in early, which was a big plus. She also let us check out late the next day. We booked the eco-friendly hut and we loved it. It’s a simple setup with two single beds, one shelf, one table and a standing fan. No fridge no AC. Everything was clean and nicely waiting for us. I loved the feeling of opening the door and that serene boho garden with the hanging chairs, the shadow from the palm trees, the soft white sand, the desert sun and breeze, are waiting for me at the doorstep. Sitting in the hotel garden in the early morning and the evening are ones of my favorite moments, it was so calm and peaceful. The boho style setup gives a great desert oasis vibe and a very relaxing ambiance. I was blown away by the hospitality, friendliness and honesty of everyone at the hotel and of the people of Siwa. We booked a tour of Salt Lake and Cleopatra Pool with the hotel. They had the best picnic setup for Salt Lakes. If I had more time, I could just hang all day by the lake with that picnic. Arm (who took us to Salt Lakes and happens to be the hotel co-founder) was so patient with us, and took the best photos and videos. The next day we went to Shalis Fortress, Mountain of the Dead, and Amun Temple with Mamdough and had a great time. Mamdough got us local breakfast before we started the tour and sugarcane juice after visiting Mountain of the Dead. The food and the juice were so fresh and tasty! We didn’t have enough time to go for a sunset camel ride in the dessert with Mamdough, which was a big miss, but maybe it’s a sign for us to visit Siwa again.

We booked the hut and we loved it. It’s a very simple setup with two single beds, one shelf and one table and a standing fan. No fridge no AC. The room may get very warm and stuffy in the afternoon due to the heat. So if you are looking for comfort, this may not be the best option. The tours we booked with the hotel were absolutely awesome. We loved every moment of it! However, I felt like we were overcharged. We paid 1500 egp (for two people) for Salt Lakes and Cleopatra Pool. 1800 egp per person for the desert safari in the evening (no dinner included). 2500 egp the next day which included the rides to Shalis Fortress, Mountain of the Dead, Amun Temple, and back to the hotel, and the ride back and forth to Breezy Island in the evening, and a ride to the bus station which is 2.5km away. If you are fine with traveling in tuktuk, you could book all these at a much better price with the local tuktuk drivers in Siwa downtown. I will definitely be back and stay at Seliyaa, but probably would think twice before booking the tours with the hotel.

Notre séjour était absolument parfait. Tout le personnel est très attentionné, que ce soit pour nous organiser une excursion dans le désert et aux lacs salés, ou même pour nous commander à manger le soir et nous faire livrer à l'hôtel, ou commander un taxi. Cette réactivité a été particulièrement appréciée car cela nous a beaucoup soulagées dans l'organisation de notre voyage. Nous avons été reçues comme des reines! Nous avons logé une nuit dans un bungalow, avec douche et toilette séparée. La chambre était simple, propre et agréable, suffisant pour une nuit. En journée, il faisait très chaud à l'intérieur du bungalow mais il y avait un ventilateur. Le petit déjeuner le matin est bon et consistant, servi avec soin. Le jardin est superbe, très grand et agréable pour se reposer. À savoir : il y a beaucoup de chats, de chiens, et de moustiques (nous sommes venues début octobre). Cette expérience à Siwa était inoubliable, et j'ai déjà hâte de revenir. Merci beaucoup pour cet accueil si chaleureux et attentionné !

Le séjour était parfait, je n'ai aucun point négatif à relever.

The amazing space, outside seating, and the cute cats. Amany was amazing and made sure my stay was comfortable. The staff is really amazing and gave me great suggestions on where to go. I highly recommend this place. It makes you feel relaxed.

I came here as a solo female traveler and my time in siwa was amazing! Amany was so sweet and helpful throughout my stay and the whole staff was so nice and made sure i was ok at all times . Amany was able to check me in early due to a very long bus ride i had the night before and upgraded me to a bigger room which i really appreciate so much ☺️! She went above and beyond by coordinating my tours , resolving a minor inconvenience i had with a local vendor and providing exceptional customer service. I loved my time here so much that u even extended my stay. And my tuk tuk driver Ashrafhe was super SUPER nice and such a cool guy, he always made sure i was good and took great care of me anywhere we went,he is now someone i consider a good friend in Egypt , and he takes amazing pictures as well😂 Thank you so much Amany for making my first time in siwa the most memorable one! I will carry those memories deep in my heart🤍 next time i go to siwa, i will stay here again😄 Yours Truly- Yajaira

Excellent hotel, staff was so pleasant and incredibly accommodating!

Excellent location and clean facilities

It was serene.

NA

Old rooms are shabby and not worth the price. Rooms in the new building are way better. Unfortunately you cannot see which room you are booking. Nice garden to sit in but lots of flies in the morning and sandflies in the evening. Breakfast was good. Road to center and to Cleopatra spring is not nice. There are hotels that have nicer surroundings. Except for the friendly manager noone speaks English. Excellent organisation of a good private car to/from Cairo and Alexandria ($ 130/100).

Where can I start! My stay at Seliyaa Hotel was incredible from the moment we arrived to our departure. Amany was so lovely and made us feel so welcomed. Staff and service were incredible. Very comfortable hotel in a great location, and loved the outdoor common areas.

Nice location, nice atmosphere

I was kindly allowed to do an early check in due to the overnight travel from Cairo and was picked up from the centre. Amany was great and very friendly but the only english speaker in Seliya. The place is located away from town centre so it's not affected by its noise , however I didn't sleep for 2 nights in a row because of the hotel's dog barking in the internal garden.. which went on for hours in the middle of the night... This was the big and only minus for me. There is not much going on near the hotel but the tuk tuk to town is only 40 Egyptian each way and Amany can arrange food delivery if needed. The place is really pretty and lots of places in the garden when you can hang out or relax, mosquitos permitting. Would be nice to see some mosquitos traps so that the time in garden is more enjoyable.

Dog barking

A very peaceful and beautiful place. Amany is the best host - a calm, warm and helpful presence. Close enough to the main town (we walked once and it was about 20 mins) but you can get to anywhere for a cheap price in a tuk tuk. The desert safari was incredible! we opted for a private one with dinner and it did not disappoint - so much fun with incredible stars and Amany booked us the best chef in town who cooks the food under the sand. Would recommend!

nothing!

Missing AC

The staff were super friendly and helpful. They ordered our bus tickets that we had problems with ourselves. They gave us a free ride to downtown. Honestly all of them are such welcoming and nice staff. The breakfast included was huge and outstanding. And also there were so many cute animals all around us like dogs, cats and a turtle. 1 dog even gave birth to the cutest puppies while we were there so if you want a cuddle puddle with some new born puppies, this is the place to be. We were so relaxed and the accomodation is the most beautiful I have seen in all of egypt. The photos do not lie!!!

It is quiet.

It is far from the city center and it is hard to get a ride.Going to the hotel from the city was always a struggle as tuktuk drivers didnt speak english and even if I showed them the hotel name and photos they still wouldnt know where it was.Id always dial the hotel and have the driver talk to them.Going to the city from the hotel was harder as there are few tuktuks that would pass by.For the first time in years i occupied my room without being checked in because there was no one at the reception. THERE was a guy who I think was a care taker but not in charge of checking in guests.He wanted to keep my passport and he would just placed it on the desk unattended.The guy in the afternoon of march 7 didnt help me hail a tuktuk.He just ignored me.There was no hot water in the shower and it is cold in march.The water would also suddenly stop

Clean, mice and affordable with welcoming staff ❤️

Very spacious and clean, big and beautiful outside area where you can comfortably hang out and chill with your friend by the fire when its chilly. Lastly the staff was so helpful and friendly we didnt really plan our trip out and they helped with everything

Beautiful & calm place to enjoy the atmosphere of Siwa, close to the center and the staff is so friendly. I booked a single room. The room was big and clean. It has a private bathroom, AC and small balcony with a view on the hotel garden.

The breakfast is basic

The bungalow room was so cute and cozy and the staff was extremely friendly. Wifi was strong, lighting was nice.

I was absolutely devoured by mosquitos all throughout the night. You’d think there was a spawn point in the room. Also, there is no path from the bathroom to the rooms so your feet are forever dirty

I stayed in a dulux room in new block which was very large and clean, saterlite tv, large bathroom plenty of hot water, no ac but wall fan and seprate free standing fan which i prefered ,grounds very nice, manager spoke very good english and allways helped when asked Tuc tuc into or from town centre was 30 pounds and 5 minutes but too far to walk

I saw the standard rooms and was not impressed , but was very happy with the delux room i was given

Very good stay experience！A wide variety of breakfast！The boss is very nice！Kittens are cute，too！

The property is a beautiful oasis, designed beautifully with morning breakfast and coffee and great places to lounge.

The hotel had a very relaxing atmosphere and a beautiful garden with lots of lounge areas and nature all around. It was only a 5-minute car ride from the city center where all the shops and restaurants were located. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

i like the design of the property and the staff were super friendly

it was off season so we were one of the only guests but the garden could have been tidied a little bit

The place is in a good location. It has the basics for one-two days in Siwa. Breakfast is ok, and service is ok. Big rooms and air conditioner works perfect. The information about the tour given to me from Amany was extremally helpful and honest. I really recommend her to contact her before coming to Siwa. Thanks a lot

Breakfast very basic and the same everyday.

The staff is EXTREMELY friendly!! They helped us organize tours, gave great recommendations, and made our overall experience better. They really cared about our experiences and went beyond expectations (walked us to a restaurant, helped us find transportation, checked on us, offered us to do late check-out without extra costs).

The hotel itself is really cute and makes you feel at home. Breakfast is really good and includes wifi. Best of all the staff. Amany, the host, is a fantastic woman that helped me with all my tours. Youssif showed me around one of the days and he was amazing as well. If you come to Siwa you have to stay here, 100% recommended.

We were so lucky to end up staying at the Seilyaa Siwa Inn. Rooms were clean and comfortable, breakfast was yummy (we especially loved the whipped feta!), but what made the visit so special was how Amany went above and beyond to ensure we had the best stay possible. She helped us see parts of Siwa we would have never seen otherwise, arranged for us to try arts and crafts with local experts, and helped organize fantastic daytrips around the area. She was always available if we had any questions and would check in to make sure all was going smoothly. We felt so taken care of and can't wait to return on our next trip to Egypt. Anyone would be so lucky to stay at Siwa Inn during their visit to the oasis -- truly one of the best hotel experiences we've had!

Huge thanks to Amany, who was always in touch and helped me with food delivery during Ramadan. Cozy, quite area. At night they made fire, another thanks to man working there. Very nice and friendly guy.

The vibe at the hotel is super chill! They have plenty of nice areas to relax - both in the sun and in the shade. The staff were super kind and helped us arrange a cheap and fun desert trip, and they also had other good suggestions for places to visit while there. On our last evening the staff also made a campfire for us to enjoy in the lounging area. Truly recommend this place!

Nice friendly helpful staff esp manager Good location and decor

Staff and maânger are friendly helpful Nice and good

Seliyaa Siwa is not just a hotel, but it's a place for the best memories. The staff is amazing and they provide assistance all the time, so friendly people especially Ahmed & Amani, I recommended for any one who visit Siaw

if you are in siwa book this property in a blink it’s the best ! loverly host beautiful vibe loved everything about staying here

we loved the staff and the overall mood of the property:)

the rooms could be worked on a bit more especially the bathrooms

Amany was really kind with us, she helped us a lot, with the excursions and the place that we can visit in Siwa. the property is a big place in nature so you can stay relaxed thank you very much Amany we’ll miss you

The accommodation was nice, the tent was beautiful, fresh Egyptian breakfast served very fast

I initially reserved a room through booking app because I wanted a private bathroom. When I arrived there, the receptionist told me there were no rooms left when I booked because they did not update the number of rooms on the system, although I made the booking more than a week in advance. Nobody called me to warn me of this, and she claimed there were very little places left in the town (it was a long weekend so many people came to visit) and it will be hard to find a different hotel at the time I arrived, which means I should take one of their empty tents, which is cheaper, and they will refund me the difference. I accept it, and I didn't like sharing the bathroom, and the fact that the shower was on the floor, which was concrete, so hard to clean and always wet from showers. The worse part was that the hotel offered to include me on a tour bus that will take me around. It was in good intention, but not well organized. On the first day, the tour did not include a lunch, and I stayed hungry the whole day. Apparently the Egyptians knew that there is no lunch offered so they kept snacking here and there, and I just kept waiting. And for dinner we had to wait for the restaurant to empty. And then I saw the tour organizers don't speak any English, so how come they work in tourism? I am vegetarian and nobody asked if I can eat normally, they just assumed and never inquired, and they took me to a restaurant that has everything (even the oven vegetables) cooked in animal broth. Then on the second day the tour took me to the Salt Lakes and when I wanted to step in the water, the edge broke with me and I scratched all over my legs and it was very painful in the salty water. There was no stairs or safer way to enter any of the lakes and the tour organizers did not care to warn me or any of the other participants where it would be safer to enter so that accidents like that would be avoided.
