Tiba Hotel

Liked: Freindly staff, clean

Disliked: Nothing all is good

Liked: Stayed 1 night in Tiba hotel. 1. Overall Category • The hotel appears to be in the 1–2 star category based on facilities and room condition. • Very basic accommodation with minimal services. 2. Staff & Hospitality • The receptionist was somewhat helpful. • The manager, Ahmed, was friendly and polite in communication. • One or two concierge and housekeeping staff members were responsive and courteous. • Staff behaviour was generally decent, though service capacity seemed limited. 3. Facilities • The hotel offers only basic rooms without additional facilities. • No proper tea/coffee station. • Only one kettle provided. • A few tea bags and sugar sachets were placed in a cup — nothing more. • No additional hospitality amenities. 4. Room Condition • Rooms were very dusty. • Curtains were old and heavily dusty. • Furnishings were broken. • The refrigerator was not working. • Overall room condition was poor. • The only functional appliance was the geyser (hot water heater). 5. Bathroom Condition • Bathrooms were very dirty. • Cleanliness standards were not satisfactory. 6. Overall Experience • The property needs significant renovation and better maintenance. • Basic hospitality was present through some staff members, but infrastructure and cleanliness were below acceptable standards. • Suitable only for travellers looking for very basic, low-budget accommodation.

Disliked: Main Cons – Very Important for non-Muslim Travelers in Ramadan. 1. No Breakfast During Ramadan • Booking.com mentioned breakfast was available for an additional charge (18 AED equivalent). • However, the hotel staff stated that during Ramadan, their kitchen is closed. • They said they are “not responsible for what Booking.com mentions.” • This was not clearly communicated at the time of booking. 2. No Food Facilities During Morning Hours • Because of Ramadan, there were no food services in the hotel in the morning. • This caused significant difficulty in arranging food for my wife and baby. • Nearby restaurants were also closed until around 1:00 PM. • Very limited food options were available in the area during the daytime. 3. Lack of Guest Consideration • When asked why bookings were being accepted without providing full services (like breakfast), there was no clear answer. • The response was simply: “It’s Ramadan.” Room & Facility Issues • Rooms were very dusty. • Curtains were old and dusty. • Furnishings were broken. • The fridge was not working. • Bathrooms were very dirty. 📍 Location • Close to the railway station. • However, during Ramadan, all food outlets were also closed in the mornings. The city runs on tourist money, but the city just don't give a damn. • Grossly limited food variety available during the daytime. 💰 Value for Money • The room price was high considering the condition and lack of facilities. • Infrastructure does not match the price. 👨‍👩‍👧 Suitability • Not ideal for families. • Not recommended for travellers during Ramadan unless you are fully prepared for limited food access or unless you forcefully fast during Ramadan.. The city runs on tourist money, there is nothing else apart from tourist destinations near by to see. All that is worth seeing in the city of Aswan is older than 1300 years. Beware of the local taxi. They cheat a lot. If you question them,they say it's Ramadan:),

I forgot my phone in the taxi. It was a dishonest taxi, but five young girls from the hotel were very kind and helped me track my phone and made an international call to the insurance company. They helped me for a long time with great kindness. The hotel staff said they knew someone at the police station, and when they asked about the characteristics of the suspect and the taxi driver, they seemed to figure it out right away. I'm grateful that my phone miraculously came back. The hotel had a bathtub, but I couldn't use the bath and only had a warm shower. The air conditioning worked properly. The hotel is in a great location, just a 5-minute walk from Aswan Station. When I tried to go to Abu Simbel, they provided me with breakfast in the morning. It was wonderful.

I stayed one night in a Superior Twin room solely for transit purposes. My flight was delayed and I arrived around 11:00 PM, but they were very accommodating during check-in. I paid $32.00 in cash. The next morning, I needed to take a bus to Abu Simbel that departed at 8:00 AM, so I chose this place only for its good access to the bus station, but the old facilities made the room far from comfortable. The young man from Nubia who handled my checkout the following morning was very friendly, and I was able to enjoy a conversation while waiting for my "inDrive" car.

Good hotel if you only want to shower and sleep after 1 day tour

There were many sofas in the lobby, which was nice for waiting for the tour. The staff were friendly. It's not facilities like in Japan, but I think it's quite comfortable for this price in Egypt.

I chose this hotel to stay at a cheap rate to go to Abu Simbel. I don't think there are any problems if you're just staying. The facilities are old, and it was a bit tricky to open the door, which was a downside.

Restaurants and similar establishments are located a lot on the opposite side of the station. It's not so far that you can't walk, but... the facilities are very outdated, although the staff were very friendly. It's not the hotel's fault, but the windows are thin, so the barking of the dogs that bark every night is very loud (to the point of fighting).
