Absolutely everything. The stay was properly magical. The room is big and clean with private bathroom. The terrasse is very charming and on the Nile river, with in the desert view on the other side and a few minutes by boat to the botanic garden. Ahmed is the kindest host I’ve had. He helped me a lot with my visits in Aswan but also with the organisation of my trips to Luxor and Abu Simbel. He is very well connected with the Aswan community and I could organize my visits directly with him which made it so easy to enjoy the time in Aswan. A big plus, at the hostel, there are canoe available from the terrasse to enjoy solo trips in the Nile. Very cool.

I arrived here at midnight, and the staff warmly assisted me in catching a boat to the hotel, as it is located on a small island opposite the city. This place is peaceful and picturesque. Unfortunately, I came alone, which felt a bit lonely—having a travel companion would have made it truly wonderful.😁

It was a bit confusing to find the place upon arrival, also due to the labyrinthic layout of the roads. The surroundings are rather run down (like all the island really).

The position is ideal for us, on the quiet side of the island, right in front of the river. The owner was very helpful and gave us indications on how to reach Abu Simbel and Luxor by public transport and giving us an idea of what the prices were. He also organized the transport by boat for us early in the morning. Our room was basic but clean and had a nice view to the Nile. The breakfast was good as well. Perfect for short stays like ours. Very good value for money overall.

We are not very used to the shower and toilet combined setting;)

Super friendly manager Ahmed, already ready to help, to provide us with infomation and solutions. He helped us to arrange the trip to Abu simbel , Philae temple, and taxi drivers. We arrived very late after midnight but the check in was very smooth. The house is very cute right in front of the river with beautiful views. The little Restaurant “ Nile View “ next to the house is also very pleasant.

A beautiful Nubian house with an amazing view. The roof terrace provides an excellent view of the Celestial horizon and the scintillating water under it. The breakfast was also excellent.

Amazing rooftop terrace with a beautiful view of the Nile (especially at sunset). The entire staff including the owner, manager, and driver are super helpful not just with your stay but also making sure you get where you need to go after. Room is comfortable. Hotel is on quiet side of the island in the nature. They genuinely want to help you and made sure I got in the right bus on yeh way to my next destination (even offered to hold the room for me if the microbus didn’t work out). I’ll recommend this place to anyone staying in Aswan

We have loved our stay in this guest house. The location first is so peaceful on the Elephantine island. The sunset on the rooftop is a moment we will never forget. The house is large and confortable and on top of everything Ahmed was so helpful during our stay. Always here for any questions or service. At anytime. U definitely recommend this address!

The property is located on an island and is reached through a motorboat. Then, it requires climbing steep stone stairs. Hence, it is not preferable for the elderly or people who have trouble walking or climbing.

The owner of this property was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The room was very spacious and clean.

The hotel is new and slightly uninhabited. It is worth adding hooks for clothes, tables, dishes and at least a bookcase for clothes. The bathroom door would be better if it were a regular one that closes tightly on hinges, rather than a slide. But these are all small things.

The quiet back part of the island. Wonderful view across the river. We also lived on the outside of the Elephantine, where the ferry docks, it is also good there, but in a different way, more saturated or something. Here you walk through the quiet ancient narrow streets and find yourself in silence over the calm waters of the Nile. The owner of the house is wonderful and responsive. Booking without the need to pay by card, and this is very convenient for us, since there is no visa and mastercard in Russia. We contacted by phone, then all communication is via WhatsApp. you will be opened, additional items will be brought if necessary. Breakfast can be ordered directly on the balcony for the same 100 pounds per person. Beautiful terrace!

The staffs were all nice. They recommended one driver for us, and he was really an excellent driver. He doesn’t speak English that much but he was very polite and understands well about our needs. The staff who we contacted was really kind and try to give us the best experience all the time so the places such as restaurants were also pretty good and wherever we went by his recommendation we just had so good experiences. The view from the guest house was also so nice and getting the guest house by boat was also so nice. The manager didn’t push us about paying the charge quickly and we had really good time there.
