“Very good”
19 Jan 2025
The location is really nice. Great terrace view. We met really friendly travellers. Nice ambience. The owners are helpful with information. Standard basic, but for me, it was enough. Hot water in the shower. There is a kitchen for common use.

“Warm Nubian energy in Aswan”
15 Jan 2025
The view from the hotel is GORGEOUS and the warm Nubian hospitality makes it even better. The island is beautiful in itself, so quiet compared to Cairo, which for people who like a slower rythm makes for an excellent place to recharge, which is even better by the terrace with the warm air coming in from the nile. Even taking tea is magical like this. Seko was always friendly and helpful with tours available, all at reasonable prices. The ferry at night makes for a comfortable, cheap and honestly beautiful commute with the Elephantine people, who are very kind. Perfect location and the hotel is worth every penny. Thank you Seko for your hospitality!

“Relax view and boats”
11 Jan 2025
Relax place far from traffic, and vendors, good place for recharge and relax, from there can organise trips, boats or kayak, I enjoy the most clean taras with kitchen, where I can cook delicious food, and buy beer or bottle water Clean bathroom

“Superb”
29 Dec 2024
Seko was exceptionally kind to us. We had a huge delay in our flight and he sent his son to pick us up in the dock after midnight. Then, he helped us with a quick laundry that saved the rest of our trip. Regarding the place, it's recommended if you want to feel the experience of staying somehow in a typical Egyptian countryside village a few minutes away by ferry from a big city like Aswan. No cars, no motorcycles, no paved streets at Elephantine Island. So, better not to bring heavy luggage. The rooms are very simple and clean. A very interesting archeological area is close to the hostel.

“Nice guest house in Aswan”
24 Dec 2024
Seko is a nice guy and very cooperative. The view is amazing. Setting on the roof and enjoying the magnificent view is what I liked most.

“A great budget/backpacker option with an amazing view”
23 Dec 2024
A great backpacker/budget option with an amazing view! While the rooms are basic, they are clean and comfortable enough. The view from the rooftop of this hostel was the best I have seen on Elephantine island, facing the Aga Khan Mausoleum and the sand dunes of the West Bank of the Nile. It is a perfect spot for sunrise and sunset, as the light on the dunes and the Nile is particularly beautiful at that time. In my opinion, it is the best location in Aswan: while Aswan is a big city with tall, ugly buildings and lots of noise, Elephantine Island is incredibly quiet and laid back. Unlike the Nubian Village which is a tourist trap full of touts and souvenir shops, Elephantine Island is still authentic and you can experience simple village life here (there are no souvenir shops or touts to bother you). The view is much more beautiful on the West side of the island, because the West side faces the sand dunes, while the East sides faces the buildings of Aswan. So I would absolutely recommend staying here if you want to enjoy the beauty of the Nile at a cheap price

“Friendly hostel with amazing Nile view”
22 Dec 2024
Seko can arrange several tours of the Aswan area, we had a tour to the High Dam that was really interesting. The view to the Nile from the terrace is really amazing. Breakfast was very tasty. All personel were very friendly and attentive to our needs, and they were always taking care not to miss anything. The room was small but cosy, exactly as it is shown in the pictures. The bed was very comfortable. Even while we had booked two different rooms for 2 consecutive days, Seko was very helpful and allowed us to stay at the same room, instead of having to move our luggage.
