Emplacement super à 5 mins du temple. Vue magnifique sur lac, piscine super,
Salle de repas et petit dej un peu froid et petit dej assez simple. Mais efficace
The location, the pool and the people. Specially Mohammed, that was very kind and helpful with my family. Totally recommend.
El jefe de mozos o de atención , fue espectacular un caballero de primera , proactivamente nos llevó la carta hasta la piscina , siempre cordial y con una gran actitud
Todo de primera , al ser temporada baja la piscina que estaba abajo estaba sucia , pero procedí a solo usar la piscina principal que estaba okey
L’emplacement, la décoration, les piscines avec vue
Rien
I’ve travelled the whole country from Alexandria down to Abu Simbel and stayed in many hotels on the route. This resort just left me speechless. Charming establishment with relaxing ambience, authentic architecture, chic amenities and flawless service. I wish I had more days planned for Abu Simbel to enjoy a longer stay at Seti resort. Here I lived thought the most scenic and dramatic sunset over the lake Nasser of my whole journey, thanks to very attentive personnel at reception who assigned me the room upon my request. Abu Simbel is only 15 minutes walk from the resort, you have a unique opportunity to be the first and only visitor at temples for sunrise. Overall it’s an amazing resort. I highly recommend spending at least a night there whenever you end up visiting Abu Simbel temples.
Amazing hotel with a scenic view. We booked a night in Abu Simbel due to a change of plans but it turned out to be completely worth it. Seti Lake Resort is fantastic. It has a privilegiate position over the Nasser Lake, relax is guaranteed. The staff was friendly and the hotel well maintained and with top notch services.
la localisation, proximité du temple d Abou Simbel, les merveilleuses piscines, les jolies chambres à l architecture nubienne
Le prix de l excursion est exagéré, spécialement le transport en 5 minutes au temple
Davvero grande e ben tenuto, ottimi ristoranti, buon bar con tutto quello che serve per bere, posto incantevole , zona piscina top
Get to this resort early...swim all day and play...Golrious
Pillows were stiff
L emplacement, les jardins
Hors de prix pour la nuit 750€ alors que l hôtel était vide ; à la reservation c était la seule chambre disponible ! L eau de la douche ne s écoulait pas, la salle de bains était inondée… Le restaurant était tres moyen
Emplacement près des temples (15min à pied), les jardins sont très beaux et bien entretenus, dans l’ensemble personnel serviable
Salle de bain défraîchi (joint noir moisi), buffet du petit déjeuner décevant (produits souvent de l’avant veille, yogourt chaud parce que pas stocké correctement), navette aéroports à 20$ alors qu’il n’y a pas 6min de trajet, etc. Il fut un jour un superbe hôtel, aujourd’hui cher pour ce qui est proposé.
Hôtel très bien situé, calme et proche du temple (accessible à pied). Chambre spacieuse, piscine très agréable, personnel disponible.
Pour le prix et le standing, la robinetterie de la douche est désuète avec des difficultés à régler la température de l'eau. Manque des petits accessoires ( rasoir, cirage chaussures)
Everything was OK, nothing to complain.
Fantástica piscina con camas balinesas. Habitaciones sin lujos pero cómodas y muy silenciosas y relajantes con su balcón al lago nasser
Deberían centrarse en atender y satisfacer al turista (especialmente con lo que cobran por la habitación) en lugar de tratar de estafarle con transfers a 20 dólares en trayectos de 5 minutos
This place is AMAZING, best stay of our Egypt trip. We only stayed one night to see Abu Simbel, but I wish we had stayed at least two more to enjoy a relaxing at the two-level lakeside pool. The property is beautiful, clean, and very spacious. It’s an easy 20 minute walk to the temples. The restaurant is a good value and the staff are very kind. The rooms are great, we had a lake view and the scenes from the balcony were gorgeous. Rooms are very comfortable and have lovely decor. Highly recommend!
Hôte, magnifique, extrêmement bien placé
L'emplacement et la vue des chambres sont superbes. On peut aller à pieds au temple d'Abou Simbel en une vingtaine de minutes. L'hôtel est également magnifique et le personnel est très gentil.
Le prix est exorbitant compte tenu de certains aspects et notamment des services qui ne sont pas à la hauteur du standing revendiqué. Par exemple le personnel débarrassait le buffet du petit déjeuner à 9h30 alors que celui-ci est annoncé jusqu'à 10h. On a donc eu les restes...à 9h45, le personnel nous a demandé si on avait fini pour pouvoir débarasser avant la fin de l'horaire. La nourriture est également très chère pour ce qu'elle est.
アブ・シンベル神殿に近い
ホテルのグレードからして料金が高い。年末のパーティー料理が最初一人95ドルだと言われ渋っていると日本人は50ドルだと言われ了解したが、料理は全て冷たく美味しくなかった。飲み物は別料金だった。アブ・シンベルまでの、送迎も20ドルと現地の価格からするとかなり高い価格だと思われる。
La chambre était bien aménagée, architecture nubienne très agréable et de plus une grande terrasse. De très beaux espaces communs - jardins, piscines, fort bien entretenus. Une mention particulière pour le personnel très courtois et à l’écoute.
La restauration mériterait d’être améliorée. Le self service etait acceptable, sans plus. Pour la catégorie de l’établissement, il manque cruellement une restauration nettement plus adaptée tant au niveau du petit-déjeuner que des repas…
Incredibly well appointed, clean and tidy.
Maybe a point for the staff to improve on English language skills. No issues, just a bit of effort is required to communicate given the language barrier.
The pool and grounds were excellent
We had booked a double bed and got 2 singles. No mosquito nets. Limited food menu
Location
Terrible food and badly preserved. Dirty and mosquitoes everywhere (Abu Simbel is the only place in Egypt where we have seen this mosquito problem)
Las habitaciones están recién reformadas, el trato y la atención al cliente es excelente todo el personal es amable y detallista, siempre pendiente de todo. La comida está muy rica y a 10 minutos andando del templo de Abu Simbel. Y el hotel está muy limpio y están haciendo obras/mejoras para quede un hotel increíble.
到的时候,给小朋友的小床都铺好了。并没有要求加床,只是订单里显示有儿童,看来酒店服务还是用心的,不得不好评。走路到神庙15分钟,不远。可能游客基本都是阿布辛贝一日游住一晚,人少,清净,景美,面对着广阔的湖面,有机会还想再住一次,慢慢发现一下周边。
没。
早餐没有自助餐,面包也非常一般。
空调风直吹卧床,没法调节,厕所也没有空调,最大问题就是水压严重不足,洗澡水非常小。
Was absolutely fantastic! The service and staff were incredible. The facilities were great, and the hotel itself felt very clean. It’s in a great spot, so close to Abu Simbel temple. The food was also great! We would recommend staying here especially if you’re wanting to go to the temple a couple of times. We went at about 3:30PM and saw about 3 people the whole time. At 6:30 in the morning it was a bit busier with a few tour groups there already
Nothing! Was perfect
Very friendly and helpful staff
The hotel is beautiful with nice view.
The facilities are old, and room was not very clean.
Everything! The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The views from the room were amazing (same from the pool area), the staff was great, and a 10/15 minutes walk from Abu Simbel temple.
Maybe the food wasn't the best quality for the price, but still good and with variety.
The room we had was in quite good condition. The pools, walking and perpheral areas were clean, attractive, and nicely laid out. It is in a very quiet location, about a 1.2km walk to the Temple complex, which we found reasonable.
The food was edible to good, which seems to be the standard in Egypt rgardless of the quality of the hotel. All meats are overcooked, which again, seemed to be the norm.
Our experience at Seti Abu Simbel Lake Resort was extremely positive. The hotel offers every service. Its location, with a wonderful view of the lake and easy access to the Abu Simbel site, makes it an excellent choice. We especially appreciated the constant assistance of Mohammed in every activity and transfer, organized down to the finest details. His kindness and professionalism truly make a difference. We definitely recommend this hotel.
Fabulous location Beautiful swimming pools Balconies with beautiful views over the lake Close to the temple Wonderful staff, especially Manager Mohamed, who personally looked after every part of our trip and certainly made it run more smoothly and more enjoyable.
The dining room was a bit soulless, but handled large volumes of guests well.
Perfect location close to the temple, a very attractive hotel nicely laid out with excellent management and staff. It was perfect for us. Highly recommended
Nothing. I would however not recommend the Light and Sound evening show. Nothing much to it
We stayed here for three nights and loved it. The temples can be done in one day, but this hotel is so nice that we felt sad leaving. The staff is super friendly.
Super kind staff. Mohammed arranged what we asked and made good additional suggestions. A 20 min walk to the temple. The views are beautiful.
The property is good for the area but quite dated. The whole property reflects a hard working staff but it must be hard to keep up as it needs updating.
We had a quiet suite far from the swimming pool. We can walk to the temple. We wait for sound and light and come back walking. We bring our breakfast at the temple to see sunrise
After sound and light (6.30pm)., the restaurant was open. Buffet 25$ didn't seem nice.
Nice setting with beautiful views. Comfortable suite that perfectly accommodated a family of 4.
It was full of mosquitoes and they sprayed a strong anti-mosquito thing that made us get dizzy! Also, very slow service at the restaurant.
Facilities, rooms, landscaping and location were great.
Service was mediocre, but lazy staff frankly that often gave you a long face when asked to do anything. And definitely don’t eat there. Breakfast is just about ok. Western dinner is not recommended. Go outside and eat local
Location, quiet spacious room with wonderful view, pool area.
Free water limited in room.
Great hotel for Abu Simbel, Staff went above and beyond with service.
Buffet dinner is expensive, we ate at a local restaurant which the staff recommended.
Beautiful Setting, Lovely Staff and Good Food.
Its location was the best. The facilities were excellent. The rooms spacious and comfortable.
The WiFi
Great pool and service.
Not much. The management were very helpful.
loves the staff very nice people. a very nice big pool and great location
run down and super loud old AC . furniture very old and worn down. even we appreciated a bigger room..this place is very dated
Staff are very friendly
Location, food and pool.
A bit dated but still the best in town.
Pleasant surprise-- sort of an oasis in the desert--I was surprised by the massive size of the resort compared to the rest of the sleepy little village. Not a blade of grass in the rest of the town and desert but beautiful manicured lawns at the resort. Multiple pools, coffee bar area, large air conditioned restaurant. Front desk staff were extremely helpful--all staff were very attentive.
Wi-Fi only available in public areas and pretty weak there. One English speaking television channel which was RT (Russian Television) constantly giving Putin propaganda. Dinner at the restaurant was a little on the high side even a-la-carte ordering. This was the most expensive hotel night (about $350 including taxes) we had during a 22 day trip that covered Dubai-Maldives-Cairo-Abu Simbel-Istanbul (well except for the Maldives of course). I guess the Law of Supply and Demand is fully in charge here since there really are no other suitable options available.
Nice hotel.
Too expensive
Everything
Nothing
The staff were amazingly friendly - Mohamed was fantastic and really helped us out, even after we checked out of the hotel and were in other parts of Egypt!! We were upgraded for free and so our room was huge and we were given free cookies and fruits. The location the temple was excellent.
No WiFi in our room, but it was available everywhere else in the resort
The food is terrible
Food was great with friendly service - lots of choice on breakfast buffet beautiful view of Lake Nasser from balcony
It was all great! To further improve, extend Wifi to challets, however, was quite happy in the coffee shop!
The pool is nice, the grounds are pretty. The view is pretty. Free shuttle from airport (but not back to the airport)
The service wasn’t very friendly and arranging things like cars to the airport or the temple wasn’t efficient or fairly priced. The food was mediocre. Not near other restaurant options. Overall it was fine but overpriced. WiFi didn’t reach the rooms.
Beautiful property, great pool, friendly staff.
N/A
Location. Free Egyptair shuttle bus. View and pool. A 1km / 15 min walk to the abu simbel temple. 160m from the hotel to a junction, turn right and its at the end of the road.
Most things can take while. Waited 15 mins for a drink at the pool when we were the only ones there. Some staff are much more attentive than others. Twin beds when asked for one large bed. Value for money not great. The a la carte menu is just the pool bar menu and you can only sit inside if you have the $38 buffet. Not great when you are not very hungry and it's 40degC outside at night.
Proximity to the historic site. Dinner was nice.
Toiletries and towels were not sufficient and some essential toiletries were missing.
The room with lake view. The staff. The breakfast. The pool. Everything!
Location and staff were great !
I’m need of renovation and ac barely worked .
The location is superb. Very friendly staff though not very well trained in terms of bar/appetizer. Long time to get a drink at the pool.
The Seti Abu Simbel resort was nice and staff very helpfull, they gave an upgrade room as the first time in this hotel that was very nice, the breakfast, lunch and dinner excellent with a variety of options.
We had a minor problem with the room key lock that hotel need to be fix, that's all
upgraded to a suite. food & beverages excellent. wonderful view of Lake Nasser. 10 mins by car to Abu simbel temple. definitely stay overnight and go to temples in afternoon - not busy then - had to ourselves and 2 other tourists. essam Manager very helpful.
was all good
Great location near the temples and at Lake Nasser. The pool is lovely. Staff is very friendly and helpfull.
We really payed too much for our rooms, even despite we had a free upgrade: no wifi in the room, curtains partly falling from the rails, broken lamp, outdated electricity wires, safe not working and loose in the closet. I wonder why all the money the tourists have spend in this hotel is not used for maintenance. If you want to earn this amounts of money (300$ for 1 night, 6$ for a beer, in Egypt!) you have to follow high hotel standards. No blame to the receptionists, waiters and cleaners because they are doing their job very well. My complaint concerns the management and the owner(s) of the hotel.
superb location and really well run
Poor breakfast and very canteen like
so relaxing. the food was amazing 🤩
no internet in the rooms but very good internet in public areas.
You could feel the peace and the powerful forces of the river caving its way through the desert. The property just meld into its surroundings.
The beautiful pool over looking the Nile and the nice soft music they played.
close proximity to temple nice lake view
room was not clean, it didn’t look like it was prepared, also water hose in bathroom was broken staff tried to clean the room while we were out but left door open and mosquitoes got in the room!
awful, expensive food
Convenient location to Abu Simbel on Lake Nasser with a nice pool.
The prices were very high. The pool was freezing, the buffet was not good. The toilet in our room was not attached and you practically fell on the floor when using it. The chair on our patio was also broken. For the high price we paid, there should not have been major maintenance problems with the room and the pool should have been heated.
beautiful gardens
separate beds
We stayed here for one night - super location overlooking Lake Nasser - 5 minutes drive from Abu Simbel. The hotel is very impressive set in its own private grounds and with a great pool area. The room was very spacious and tastefully furnished. Cool balcony with a view of the Lake. On checking in, we were upgraded to have breakfast included - this was great as it cost around $30 each. The breakfast buffet had a great variety to suit all tastes. Would definitely stay again if we could afford to!
It's fairly expensive but you can see why. Disappointing that there was no wifi in the room - only in communal areas - which seems odd for such an impressive hotel. The hotel souvenir shop was very expensive.
It’s very pretty, rooms super cute. Staff was wonderful.
No wifi in the room—you just had to go out to the pool—very close, but if you like to lay in bed and scroll, you have to use data.
The view, the pool and the proximity to the Temple are great!
Room are a little dated for American Standards...but we did not care!
Great place, staff full of kindness but price completely crazy !!
