This is a highly recommended hotel who wish to spend their free time in the heart of the Nubian village. It is located very close to the bustling tourist street market and is on close proximity to the Nile river at the west bank of Aswan. I would say a stay at this place would give one an entry point to African culture. The food served in the hotel's restaurant is very tasty and I vouch for their chicken stew which is one of the most tender chicken I ever had.
The room is spacious, well maintained, got a private balcony overlooking the Nile river at one end and the front porch overlooks the central campfire area. A swimming pool is currently under construction and once it is ready one can take a dip both at the pool and in the river Nile. They have add on paid services like massages and aroma therapy, just in case if anyone is interested

It's located in the heart of Nubian Village's downtown area (?) and right next to the pier, making it easily accessible from the boat. It seems like it's just barely accessible by car (depending on the day). The rooms are cute, and while not exactly hotel-like, they're well-maintained. Contrary to reviews, there was someone at the front desk both morning and night. I was worried about my early morning flight to the airport, but they provided a breakfast box, so I didn't need to worry. There was no hair dryer in the room, but I was able to borrow one. Wi-Fi is available, but it's best to assume it won't work (though I guess that's unavoidable). I had requested separate beds, but for some reason they provided a king-size bed. When I asked for separate beds, they changed them, even though they looked surprised. It must have been difficult, especially since it was on the third floor and only had stairs. I'm grateful. I also had dinner there, which was delicious. They seemed to be open until quite late. There were a lot of flies, even though it was October, so there may be even more in the summer. The bath has plenty of hot water, but since it is a water heater that uses stored water, if two people are using it, it is better for the first person to use it sparingly or for the second person to use it after a while. The water heater has a gauge indicating the amount of hot water remaining. There is no shower curtain, but the bathroom is spacious, so as long as you are careful, the toilet should not flood. Everyone was kind, and I enjoyed the unique village atmosphere.

This is a fantastic guesthouse, located in the heart of Nubian village, next to the main pier. The rooms are clean and hygienic, fully equipped, and the service is attentive and welcoming. Breakfast is also excellent. It boasts a rich local culture, and the Nile River is right outside the door. There are many beaches within 500 meters, attracting many swimmers. Overall, it offers great value for money and I highly recommend staying here.

A wonderful location, with excellent service and breakfast. Would highly recommend, I loved being right by the Nile for meals

The hotel is right by the Nile River, and the whole street is blue, as if you have entered a fairy tale world. This hotel is very cheap, with a good environment and Mediterranean style. The breakfast is freshly made, and the price per night is only one or two hundred. The only drawback is that the bathroom is not separated into dry and wet areas, but the price and service are worth it. I will stay here again if I have the chance.

I heard that the more prosperous part of Aswan is the east bank of the Nile, but this is a small hotel in a Nubian village on the west bank of the Nile. If you have a chartered car, you can stay in the village to experience the Nubian culture (there is a section of road under construction into the village, it is not easy to walk and it is very dark at night). You can see the sunrise over the Nile when you go out in the morning. It is very quiet and the small village is also very beautiful. The service is particularly good. The breakfast (some bread, yogurt and boxed juice) will be packed for the morning meeting. There is an independent bathroom, but the light is dim, so I lowered my expectations. It is normal and good conditions in Egypt. At least it is clean, the bath water is hot, and it is not a problem to sleep in clothes for a night.

A friend of mine went to Nubian with a tour group before and felt that it was not fun and the conditions were primitive, but the experience of traveling independently is completely different. It is like drinking water for a pony crossing the river. We all have the experience of staying in luxury hotels. This time, I mustered up the courage to travel instead of vacation, hoping to experience the local customs and customs to a certain extent, and to see the world from a different perspective... My phone fell, and the Tuktuk guy immediately took it back to find it. The kind Nubian girl reminded me in time to prevent me from losing my passport. The phone fell at the counter at the airport and was promptly informed by the kind ground staff... Basam of the hotel helped us arrange a chartered boat from the east bank of the Nile to the hotel directly after going down the river for dozens of minutes. I watched the moon and stars on the top of the boat, and drifted on the quiet Nile River under the moonlight. These are special experiences that are not available on XHS... There is also Nubian dance in the hotel at night! The breakfast is also rich and the scenery is beautiful! Breakfast on the Nile!

The store owner is very welcoming and the environment is unique. It is in the Nubian village across the river and has a very good value for money.

I strongly do not recommend this hotel because the accommodation environment is really uncomfortable. Bugs crawled over me in the middle of the night. The lights in the room were broken and you couldn't see anything at night. It was very scary. The hotel owner will deliberately cancel your order and ask you to pay extra to stay. The decoration looks good on the outside, but the room is very cheap. Do not recommend it, please avoid it.
