    Very central and well-located hostel. The beds are clean and comfortable, and overall it’s very tidy. Hesen, who welcomed me, was very friendly and helpful; he answered all my questions and suggested places to visit. He is also interested in learning Turkish, so Turkish guests could teach him new words

    The location of the bathroom is a bit unlucky since one has to cross the whole reception area to get there. It was also incredibly humid in the bathroom.

    The people working there (especially Hassan) where so nice and friendly. The room was very comfortable. Because of extreme heat in Aswan during our stay it was very calming to stay in room with very good WiFi.

    Just 1 bathroom for the dorms

    The dorms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. Each bed had its own power socket, light, and regular sized locker for bags. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, big shoutout to Jimmy and Hassan for making my stay amazing by going with me to the market, showing me around, helping me with tours, and even getting me a last-minute bus ticket. They were easy to chat and hang out with. I had a great stay I’ll always remember. Thanks guys!

    "It was on the fourth floor, and there was no elevator. The building is under construction, and one may be installed later."

    "My stay at wannees yesterday was truly excellent, largely thanks to the wonderful staff. The check-in process was smooth and welcoming, expertly handled by Hassan. He was efficient and made a great first impression. Throughout my stay, the hospitality provided by Shaimaa was outstanding. She was incredibly attentive and always made sure I had everything I needed, truly enhancing my comfort. And for any follow-ups or additional needs, Gamal was consistently helpful and proactive, ensuring everything was taken care of seamlessly. The combination of their dedicated service, along with the comfortable room and great amenities, made for a memorable visit.

    The hostel is well located and it's easy to shop in the central area. Also, I'd like to say that Jimmy the staff. He was very warm and kind. He prepared free iced pineapple juice for me when I checked in and checked out. He is my good brother and an unforgettable memory of my stay in Aswan.

    The hotel is in a perfect location next to many stores. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We didnt use the kitchen but it seemed big. Bathroom was big and comfortable too. The staff was very kind, they offered us a welcomed drink. One important thing for tourists is that it is close to McDonalds.

    Jimmy was a wonderful host and very attentive and helpful! He helped us with transportation for Abu Simbel, let us keep our bags at the hostel after we checked out and even went out of his way to organise us a bus to Luxor. The location is right in the centre of town, 2 minutes walk from the river Nile. I would definitely stay here again.

    The hostel is a bit hidden next to a shop and the building it is in looks a bit unfinished. You definitely need to look twice to find it.

    I really liked the central location, the staff Hassan and Jimmy were very friendly and helpful. I was able to get some good recommendations from them. The beds were very comfortable and the location has everything you’d need.

    It felt like crashing at a friend's place for a while. I stayed in the female's room: AC is functioning well. Beds are comfortable enough for the value. Bathroom is shared and clean. You have kitchen area and also laundry if you need. The stuff has been very helpful with any inquiries you may have. On top they were very friendly that made the stay more enjoyable. Especially thanks to Hassan who has a big heart to help people to ensure they are having their best time in Aswan.

    It's in the middle of market and mosque. The praying sound is very loud and quite late at night, need to bring your ear plugs The hostel is hard to find. There's no sign from outside. No elevator and we had to carry our lugguge to the 4th floor. The stairs is quite narrow.

    Staff is nice, he answered message very quick. Room is big and clean. Share bathroom is also clean, never have any problem for queing while we stayed. We can walk by the Nile. Local people around here are nice and feel safe.

    Nothing to add here.

    I had an amazing experience in this hostel! I usually travel a lot and I've been staying in hotels lately, but I decided to give a hostel a try in Aswan and spent a wonderful time! I wish I would have stayed longer because the city is lovely! The recepcionist Jimmy was super nice and helpful. The place is super clean and has relaxing vibes and it is located in the 4th floor in a building inside the Old Market. I would definitely go back!

    I had a fantastic stay at Wanees Hostel! From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome – they’re friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist with anything you need. The atmosphere is super chill and social, making it really easy to meet other travelers and feel at home. The hostel is kept very clean, and the rooms are comfortable with good air conditioning and cozy beds. The common areas are well-designed – perfect for relaxing or chatting with fellow guests. I also loved the rooftop and the cool vibes around the place! One of the highlights for me was the location – it’s close to everything you need, and the staff can help you book local tours and activities, which was super convenient. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly, and affordable place to stay, I highly recommend Wanees Hostel. I’ll definitely come back again!

    The sofas in the communal area were a bit worn and not very comfortable. It can also get a little noisy at times due to the hostel’s close proximity to the markets.

    The receptionist was fantastic—you can tell he works hard to keep the hostel running smoothly. He even stayed in the same room as us and made checkout super easy, right from our beds. He kindly offered me coffee and even went to the local market to get a cheap Pepsi for me. I also shared a few suggestions with him on how to make the experience even better.

    There is not something I didn't like

    I was traveling solo in Egypt and I decided to book a hostel rather than a hotel. Wanees Hostel was amazing, great facilities, the staff is very friendly and helpful when I needed them. They are also very responsive via Whatsapp in everything I was asking for anytime during the day - even late in the night to request for a wake up alarm. I totally recommend it and it's worth it even for small groups, solo travelers or even group trips. You are in the heart of the downtown city centre. Despite the fact that the entrance of the building in the first look may put you second thoughts just go uptairs and you will get used to it. Super friendly the guys there

    I love this place

    I had an amazing stay at Wanees Hostel! From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and welcoming — more like staying with friends than just booking a place to sleep. The hostel is very clean, with well-maintained rooms and bathrooms. You can tell the staff really care about keeping the place comfortable and tidy. Speaking of the staff, they were incredibly kind and helpful — always smiling, offering great tips about the area, helping with tours, and even assisting with transportation. The location is perfect — close to everything, easy to find, and in a safe and quiet area. If there’s a rooftop or terrace, the view and vibe are just the cherry on top — the perfect place to relax after a long day of exploring. The price is very reasonable for what you get — great service, comfort, and a memorable stay. It’s definitely great value for money. I highly recommend Wanees Hostel to solo travelers, backpackers, and anyone looking to experience authentic hospitality in a cozy, friendly environment. I’d definitely stay here again!

    From the moment I arrived at the hotel, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly and professional staff. Check-in was quick and smooth, and the positive energy of the team made me feel instantly comfortable and at home. The room was spotless, well-organized, and very cozy. The bed was extremely comfortable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and the bathroom was clean and fully equipped with all the essentials. I really appreciated the quiet atmosphere – it was easy to relax and get a good night’s sleep after a long day. The location of the hotel is excellent, close to many attractions and with easy access to transportation. The breakfast each morning was delicious and offered a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. I also had no issues with the Wi-Fi, which was fast and reliable – perfect for getting a bit of work done or just relaxing online. The common areas were also clean and pleasant, with a calm vibe that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Honestly, this stay exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m already looking forward to coming back, and I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and welcoming place to stay.
