To tell you the truth I came here a year ago and I pretty much never gone back. I keep coming back. The cost of living in Egypt is so much better than America. and the food is a million times better. the people are real they just want to be happy . And they're never is a problem really it's just a different type of life and they're happy to share that with you and that's something I want more of for myself and them.

Unlike Cairo, Aswan is much slower paced and people are much nicer. The city has several historical sites, temples, and islands. The views and food are amazing. I’m skipping Cairo on my next trip to Egypt and coming straight to Aswan and Luxor.

A very beatiful place to relax and enjoy the sun during winter.
We felt very safe and happy.
The local market is great it has unique and authentic goods.
The philae Temple is great it has spots to take photos and great views.
We enjoyed the Botonical Garden very much as it has plants from all over the world.
The feluca ride is one of the best things we enjoyed but first you have to agree on the price.

Tombs of the Nobles were really neat if you can make it over to the other bank. Watch out for the camel guys there though. We got roped into $50 camel rides.
Aswan was probably our least favorite stop in Egypt. Harassment by salespeople was higher here than at the Great Pyramids, and much higher than Luxor! We couldn't walk anywhere at anytime of the day without a salesperson walking with us for several blocks. And as soon as they were done, someone else would take over. Its too bad, I think the corniche could be a really pretty walk!

Aswan is pleasant pretty city on upper Nile within easy day excursion to Abu Simbel. Don't ride camel at Giza, ride one at Aswan out into the desert. Ride felucca boat around Elephantine Island. Eat at King Jamaica restaurant. Stop to see unfinished obelisk

Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
I didn’t realize that the hotel was undergoing a little construction. It looked like they were upgrading their ramp. This meant we had to carry our bags up the stairs to the lobby.
The property is beautiful and has a terrific view of the town and we could see the Nile from our room. The restaurant was very good- we had dinner there.
BTW the construction noise never bothered us. We couldn’t hear it at all.
We have stayed 25 days in Egypt and have tried many different hotels and accommodations but nothing beats the Kato Dool Nubian Resort. The staff was extremely welcoming and did everything to make us feel at home. We loved to spent the morning in the resort and in the afternoon we tried different activities that were offered in the resort. The guide Hamou did a great job and showed us beautiful places. Kato Dool Nubian Resort is the best place to stay for an amazing and carefree holiday in Aswan. We look forward to be back as soon as possible.
For sure the best thing was the owner. Mahmoud, is the best owner of any place I’ve ever stayed, and I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels and guest houses. Mahmoud saved me hundreds of dollars to get me on a cruise to Aswan, and continually helped me with everything. Just trust him, and you won’t regret it.
The location of the hotel on Elephantine island was 50 metres from the ferry dock. it only costs 5 Egyptian pounds, 16 cents US, for the little ferry.
Nuba Dool was quiet, clean, has a great view. Everything was fabulous.
Mango Guest House is in an amazing location on Elephantine Island and easily accessible by local ferry. The house is beautiful, clean and staff were more than accommodating and welcoming. They were helpful with booking transportation and have drinks and food available on site. No pressure and friendly people. If you are staying in Aswan the island is the best choice to stay. It is quiet, rich in local Nubian culture and offers a number of small restaurants. 100% would recommend Mango Guest House to friends.
We were the only family at the property (because of the season's end) so we had an endless conversation about the history, ancient Egypt, and the Nubian life with Seyfi.
Hotel is very clean with A/C, good wifi, and a wide lobby. We felt like a guest in a village house, not a customer of them. Seyfi helped us to find a taxi to go to Luxor and called us every time to be sure we were ok. My kids liked him too much and these nice Nubian people. very happy to see you there, we believe we have a friend there.
Artika Wadi Kiki is one of the best and most authentic hotels I've ever been to!
I would definitely recommend it to everyone coming to Aswan. The staff is nice and polite, the dinner we had was great, but above all, the ambient and the details of this place are amazing.
The hotel staff upgraded us from a regular room to a chalet which left us amazed. The rooms and bathrooms are clean, the staff helps you with your luggage.
Again, all praise for this wonderful place!
The staff is incredible! Every request is fulfilled with a smile and genuine warmth. Everyone was most helpful! Granted an early check-in as we had just completed a Nile River cruise and a Nile view upgrade. Breakfast was wonderful, with many choices from the buffet and an Omelette/egg station. Lunch was very good as well,
with grilled dishes actually grilled on an outdoor charcoal grill. A truly grand hotel from the past. Beautiful stonework throughout.
We are Elisenda and Oscar and we would like to highlight the excellent stay at the Basma hotel. The views from the rooms and the pool area are very nice. Special mention to the attention received by the staff, from Regam, the relationship manager, the receptionist and even the person who helped us with our bags upon our arrival on the afternoon of April 19th (extremely dedicated and efficient). Without a doubt if we return to Aswan we will return
This hotel is a jewel. Beautiful paintings, sense of detail, quiet and clean room, splendid terrace (i stayed hours gazing on it), and most of all, lovely staff. Saïda, the manager, is exceptionnal ; worth a 5 stars prestation.
Elephantine Island is nice to wander around Aswan. But to chill and gaze, Nubian village is way beyond in my opinion. I could seriously consider to spend an entire week in it, with a proper fruit shop !
Mohamad the owner is a true star. He went above and beyond for us booking all the activities we needed at a competitive price and with honest people. The house itself and it's nice and cosy and has a beautiful terrace overlooking the Nile bits conveniently located a few meters away from the dock and breakfast is very good and comes in generous portions (typical Egyptian breakfast)
Recommended 100%
Everything! The most beautiful and peaceful view of Aswan. The room is really comfortable and big with an amazing view. The staff is the best we had in our travel in Egypt, Hares and Mustapha were sincerely helpful and reactive. It’s the only place in Egypt where we feel only good vibes (not selling anything, tours, etc). We will recommend to my family and friends without doubts!
We spent 5 nights at the end of Nov 2023. We totally enjoyed our stay. Nice views from the roof top terrace while enjoying Ezra’s good breakfast, really clean room and right beside the Island best restaurant (the King Jamaica). The hotel is right beside the public ferry (10 EGP/ one way) which brings you right in the action of Aswan with the quietness of staying on the island.
The houseboat is nestled in a beautiful place on the quieter side of Elephantine island. It is very well maintained and has all the modern amenities one expects to find in a hotel. The houseboat staff are all Aswan locals and very polite and well mannered. Adding to these, the excellent views from the houseboat rooms and upper decks help to make the stay an amazing experience.
This place is absolutely amazing. it’s one of a kind in Egypt. It’s a unique hotel in a breathtaking location with a wonderful staff. we are very thankful we had the chance to stay here & plan on coming back. it’s away from the bustle of Aswan but close enough to go for daily outings. Alladin & his team will do everything in their power to make your stay enjoyable.
My bag did not come on my connecting flight from Cairo and I could not have got it back without the help of the two girls at reception. My airline gave me no information but Somaya at Hapi Hotel used her contacts to locate my bag at the airport without wanting anything in return. I am so grateful, my trip in Egypt would have been ruined without her. Thank you!!!
We were looking for budget hotel near Aswan and we stumbled upon this hotel
Very neat and clean hotel
Great view of Nile river
We checked in bit late and early check out
Reception was good and they provided us feee upgrade .
Thanks
Overall great location
They provided breakfast box for early morning Abu simbl trip
The view is breathtaking! Most hotels are located in Aswan’s main avenue and you won’t get a chance to see how beautiful the city’s scenery really is. Also, the staff Kamel and Hares were 5 starts. They helped us with everything, we even got a boat trip with Hares. Don’t miss the chance to stay at this hotel!
The hotel is one of my favorite places on earth.. luxury, historic, beautiful restaurants, (more on that in a minute) ,gorgeous rooms heavenly pool. And the VIEW! Spectacular.. this was our 2nd time at the old cataract. And it is the most beautiful and best hotel in egypt.
Very Nice and Amazing Location. It is an Island inside the Nile river in Egypt with a fantastic view. If you visit Aswan you Must stay in this hotel (Because of it's fantastic location on the nile).
The absolute best hotel Ive seen in Egypt. Amazing people, beautiful view, good price and the best food I ate.
I was so surprised. If you are in Aswan - you have to stay in this place.
We loved Aswan and the Basma hotel. The view from the balcony was amazing! The hotel’s staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!
