Sonesta Nouba Hotel Aswan

Apparently this is a new hotel or under new management, The room I had to start with # 38 was spacious, a bench for the suitcase is provided, as well as an armoire. There were two chairs inside the room and a bench outside on the terrace. AC in the room. Good size room with two chairs and a bench in front of the desk which is long. It seems that all rooms have view of the Nile which is nice, however the noise from all the boats that go by is noticeable ,(even with windows closed) one boat (from the company) stayed in front of my room, it was horribly noisy, I had to use ear plugs. I must say that the manager immediately took action when I told him about the situation, and I was given another room, they moved all my belongings. The staff is very nice and efficient everywhere except for one men at the front desk whose English is dismal, he was barking at me, I do not know his name. But everybody else was absolutely charming lovely and very helpful including on my last day, I had a really bad headache, they gave me a room where I could have a rest and some paracetamol. The bathroom in # 38 was extremely small, I found it uncomfortable you barely have room to move. Good shower, no place to put anything on. The bed was very comfortable. There are some mosquito screens on the door, so I could open the window during the cool hours of the night. In room # 20 the room is smaller but the bathroom is more spacious as well as the shower which I actually preferred. The terrace facing the Nile has a chair as well as a bench in this room. It is also closer to the pool. The pool is ok, but does not have a deep end. The food is good, lovely presentation, very good breakfast, but varies from day to day.
