My sister and I stayed at this hostel in Aswan, bahar was friendly, Nubian aunt cooked local food was delicious, there was a music bar nearby, small shop, big dog jaxi and her son haha. Compared to Aswan across the street, it's quiet and comfortable, and the dining bar on the second floor looks out over the Nile.

Perfect place to stay in Aswan. Beautiful views across the Nile to Aswan. You can see the chaos but not be part of it. Although it’s a quick & cheap ferry ride (E£10) to get there. Everything is very clean and tidy. The room was lovely with a beautiful dome ceiling (room 7). Showers were good. They had aircon if needed. WiFi is a bit patchy but works. Breakfast is included and very filling. The Tomb of Mekhu and Sabni is just a 7mins walk. They charge tourists E£75 students, E£150 for Adults. From there you walk up to the Dome of Abu Al-Hawa, which has great views.

Transport from the airport. If you don’t want to have to negotiate for ages and be driven all over, instead of directly to your hotel, better to arrange with the hotel for E£400 beforehand. If you download ’indrive’ app you can order the taxi for E£160-200 but you will need WiFi. You can buy a Sim from Vodafone in Aswan for 20GB data for E£485. They charge E£300 for dinner. It’s a nice meal but prepared in their own time, so you might be pretty hungry by the time it arrives. Hint - ensure what you communicate is understood. Dinners in restaurants outside can range from E£50-300 without alcohol.

Tranquil, beautiful, family run accommodation. Habibi and his nephews did everything to make the most relaxing, comfortable, wonderful stay. Authentic, fresh cooked, meals and daily cleaning service. Airport pick up was there waiting with sign to find easily, thank you Sammy! Habibi also organised a sun' set sail on the Nile and took me for a motor boat trip another day. Boat to East Bank 5-10 minute walk and only 10 EGP, runs regularly. Definitely picked the right side of the Nile to stay on, extremely relaxing, staying there was a great addition to my trip!

The family that manages the place is lovely. They're very helpful. Breakfast is included and dinner was a very reasonable 200 EGP (prices are subject to change so don't quote me!). You do have to let them know in advance if you want dinner. The rooftop is a nice place to hangout. The rooms are pretty much what you'd expect. The only thing to mention is that the showers are country-style. There's just a shower in the bathroom without any barriers. After you're done you have a squeegee to clean the water up. It's a little different if you're not used to it but it's very common in that neck of the woods. I chose this place because it was not in Aswan proper; it's in West Aswan (Gharb Aswan). It's not for people who expect luxury in a western-style environment. Go to Aswan proper and pay 10-times as much if that's what you want. This is a exquisitely beautiful place in a traditional (read dirt roads village) town. For touristy stuff you'll want to take the ferry. To get to Aswan proper you have to take a ferry, which is 5 minutes up the road from where you're staying. It costs 10EGP. Just hand them that. It didn't happen to me there, but it's happened to me in other places in Egypt where the ferry guy will not give you change or correct change. On my first night I got up before dawn and went to the top of the nearby (right next to the ferry) Tomb of the Nobles and Dome of Al Hawa. There is someone at the bottom, before you go up the stairs, that will ask you for 150EGP. That's the actual legit price. I told the guy I preferred to go alone and didn't want a guide or minder. I went up top and experienced a beautiful sunrise. Amongst my favorite memories. Enjoy!

Nothing!

The place in reality is much better than how it is presented in the pictures. There are also two sunbeds in the common area. There is also a tv, but without English channels. Rooms are quite (no noise from the street) and have been recently renovated. Of course you hear the boats in the Nile and the nearby mosque. Furniture is simple but nice. Normally it is difficult to find in Egypt such a charming place presented in a simple way. Taking the ferry to Aswan is very simple and super cheap. In the village when you walk everybody says hello and welcome. You feel super safe. In this Aswan is very different... It is also safe but turists are harrassed. Frankly we liked very much this place.

The communal area such as lounge and dining area are very comfortable. The roof top dining area has great view of the Nile. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful especially Bahir. Breakfast and dinners were delicious. There is a nice garden outside. We were also allowed to use their large washing machine and helped us with our wash.

There was no separate shower or enclosed showers. So the bathroom floor got quite wet.

I was so happy with the idea to stay in that place on the west bank of Nile. It was perfect choise, accomodation is very authentic, owners are really nice, we had dinner from Nubian mom, which I can fully recomend. Accomodation is basic, but clean and suficient. When I was cold during the night hosts gave me another blanket. It's very easy to reach the east bank with local ferry. I can fully recommend.

Nothing.

The place itself is gorgeous, very clean, and complete with scenic views of the Nile. I woke up to a breakfast on a shaded balcony beholding green Nile farmland and delicate feleucas cruising the waterways. Our room itself was spacious, decorated with a cedar wardrobe and chest, and possessed AC. The bathroom was huge and contained a bathtub with jets. Moreover, every person on staff was exceedingly friendly and polite, going above and beyond to make us feel at home. We found them to be trustworthy and genuinely kind. This is my husband's second time staying here, since he liked it so much; we hope to come again in the future!

I really enjoyed the secluded location and the view of the tombs nearby, which are lit up beautifully at night. However, if you're looking for somewhere more in central Aswan and little more bustling, I would recommend going on the other side of the Nile. For me, this side was a quiet, peaceful retreat after a long day exploring :)

A really great find... This traditional house was such a treat... The location was also really quiet (on the west side) but only 5 mins walk from the public ferry... The views were stunning... the staff were really warm and friendly... Overall, a great experience and great value for money... Will definitely return...

Nothing... everything was great!

Lovely authentic Nubian house with very helpful friendly staff. Beautiful location overlooking the Nile from the very nice roof terrace to watch the boats sailing by. Local ferry to Aswan was a highlight. Easy to visit the Noble tombs as close by and worth visiting with amazing views.

The beds were a little uneven Sometimes the dogs barked at night
