Summer Land Hotel

Summer Land is very centrally located. It is about 2 km to the temples. We walked two times. The personnel were all very friendly, helpful, and caring. First day, Muhidfin walked with us almost to the temples. We were a bit under the weather; he prepared tea for us. Our room was very clean! All the other personnel were helpful and friendly too. Thank you!

Wonderful, attentive service. The gentleman that runs this place is truly a kind and caring one. This place is well furnished, clean, and with honestly the best service we have received in Egypt (where generally people have been incredibly kind and helpful!). I strongly recommend it

Nothing really. It is next to the mosque so the call to prayer will be heard, but there’s generally no escaping that anywhere!

Il titolare Muhay Ahmed e tutto il suo staff sono persone adorabili con attenzioni e gesti talmente gentili e di affetto che ti confondono e ai quali non sai reagire se non con stupore e altrettanto affetto. Non è semplicemente saper trattare il cliente, è l' accoglienza che non ti puoi aspettare da persone che prima non conoscevi e poi diventano famiglia ❤️

Our host, Mohidi, was delightful. He got tickets for us for the Abu Simbel Sound and Light Show. His warmth and hospitality were exceptional, including a welcome beverage upon our arrival, trays of fruit in our fridge, as well as bottles of water and sodas. Our bed was romantically decorated with scattered bougainvillea leaves and a towel folded into a flower. Very sweet touches. Upon our departure he gave us an Abu Simbel magnet. Such thoughtfulness! The location is adjacent to the mosque which makes it easy to find. It’s also across from the market which is wonderful. Definitely stroll the alleys; folks are very friendly and costs are fair. We got a delicious falafel for less than 50 cents US, an enormous juicy mango, some oud incense, henna, and my husband got a haircut from a very skilled barber who also threaded his eyebrows. Breakfast was simple: eggs, white bread, butter, honey, yogurt, water, and a hot beverage. We walked everywhere from Summer Land Hotel. We especially enjoyed the sunsets over the Nile near Seti resort.

Beds were extraordinarily large and also very firm. They are two beds pushed together so there’s a ridge where they join. Pillows were more like couch cushions, also very hard. Mohidi traded them out for smaller ones for us. I felt like Goldilocks! There is no curtain on the shower, but the water drains through a hole in the floor. The hot water heater must be turned on by a wall switch. We thought there was no hot water because we were unaware of the switch. Once it heats up it’s a very hot shower. Bar soap is supplied; bring your own shampoo/conditioner. Since Summer Land Hotel is right downtown it was also noisy with kids racing their motorbikes, dogs barking and people conversing. Wear earplugs.
