Peaceful place !

Pros: Nice and peaceful location with lovely view from the terrace. We had a big 2 rooms apartment and one small double room. The rooms are clean and the staff and owners very kind. Very nice breakfast served on the terrace. Beds are comfortable

Cons: The shower is not ideal as it is not separate from the toilet and the whole bathroom becomes wet.

A great stay with friendly and helpful hosts.

Pros: The location was great and the Nubian hosts very friendly and helpful. The rooms were basic and clean. The breakfasts (included) were great and very prompt each day. A highlight was that we had 2 bedrooms on the top floor which also has the adjacent rooftop terrace and that is a highlight, as it looks out over the island and the Nile River towards Aswan. The host family is very helpful in organising local tours or water taxis.

Cons: We were on 3rd floor, no lifts, so must carry bags up and down. Kitchen facilities are limited so one should not expect to cook there.

Nile view and peacefulness

Pros: I stayed here for 3 nights. Doha was great to arrange breakfast, provide travel info, arrange a private boat to St Simeon Monastery and also a breakfast box for the early morning tour. Great Nile river view and very quiet in the middle of the river on the island. It was convenient to go anywhere in Aswan. The Nubian museum is 15 min walk, the Isis Philae temple is 20 min by car/Tukutuku.

Cons: None. It is a family-run guesthouse and they were very friendly.

Memorable .

Pros: We spent 2 nights here . Wish we spent more . So sad to leave this place ! The room was exactly like the pictures . Spacious and clean , has all what you need for a comfortable stay. Bathroom has hot water as well . The view from the Roof is breathtaking and so peaceful. We had an amazing breakfast there as well as dinner that we asked the host to prepare it for us. Just one word FANTASTIC and so tasty. The host ( Doha ) was taking care of us , helped us do a boat tour and arranged Abu simble trip for us ; When we had to leave at 3:40 am for it , she even packed breakfast for us to take away. Honestly such a sweet and thoughtful gesture . We felt very welcomed and they treated us like guests not like strangers. One important thing is that the hosts were very honest too ! I can’t recommend this place enough . - the location is also very convenient: 5 min by car from train station and then 5 min max by the public ferry boat.

Cons: All good !

A lovely stay.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The apartment was very spacious for our family and we had a nice view from the balcony. Breakfast was nice. Only a quick boat ride from Aswan to Elephantine Island. A good experience to go there.

Excellent, would definitely reccomend.

Pros: A comfortable place with kind staff, comfortable rooms, and an excellent shower (not a guarantee in Egyptian budget accommodation!) The WiFi is very good (also not a guarantee.) The balcony is amazing, with beautiful views of the city, and a perfect view of the sunrise if you’re planning an early wake-up to go to Abu Simbel.

Cons: It was a little difficult being on Elephantine island, although this didn’t turn out to be as big a problem as I’d initially thought. The ferry to the mainland is cheap and regular (and this place is a 30-second walk from the ferry dock.) It was honestly quite nice being somewhat separated from the busyness of the main city.

Pros: we loved the accommodation the host was really nice to us and helped us a lot we liked staying at the island
