The Grand Aton Hotel has a stunning location on the River Nile in the heart of El Minya and is set within attractively landscaped gardens. Formerly the Etap Hotel, this simple property isn’t grand and has seen better days, but it is considered the best of El Minya’s unexciting hotel offerings.
The Grand Aton Hotel’s 45 guestrooms are spread throughout the property in chalets. Some rooms have patios with a table and chairs and overlook the Nile. All rooms are air-conditioned and have an ensuite bathroom, minibar, satellite television, and Wi-Fi. The stunning views from the Nile Terrace overlooking the River Nile to the lush fields and arid hills on the East Bank are the Grand Aton’s most attractive features and are particularly lovely at sunset.
Both indoor and outdoor seating is available at the Grand Aton Hotel’s on-site restaurant, which has both International and Egyptian dishes on its menu.
Additional facilities at the Grand Aton include a bar and a small outdoor swimming pool.
