The hotel had so much charm and an amazing host. The room was very clean and the fridge kept our drinks very cold. The breakfast was also amazing, especially the falafel. And that’s even without considering the price, which I gives amazing value for money. And thank you for the gifts!

Loved staying here! Room was comfortable and quiet, the decor of the hotel is beautiful and so vibrant, the food was amazing-portion sizes were really good. My dress was ironed really well for me-staff were friendly There was always someone around as it’s a family run hotel so that was nice. I would definitely stay here again!

A couple of power cuts, but it wasn’t isolated to the hotel.

The uniqueness of the style was really nice. Every thing was clean and in great working order. The manager was ever so helpful whenever we needed him. Our room included breakfast. One morning we visited Abu Simbel. The manager not only arranged the trip for us but made us a to go breakfast to take with us which was much appreciated!

There was nothing that you could fault the property for but the location was difficult. It’s in a village within a short distance from the Aswan dam. Once in Aswan you will be hounded by taxis willing to take you home. You’ll agree on a price that the driver will try and inflate once he enters the village. It happened twice to us that the taxi kept wanting to stop and go no further. Both times we ended up arguing with them which made the journey really annoying. The hotel is not yet on Google maps so I would strongly urge the property management to put a step by step guide in the local language for a taxi to follow. As you will see, there has been so much effort put into making this property enjoyable that it’s a shame to lose guests because of the constant hassle finding the place. I loved the place but wouldn’t stay there again without step by step directions.

We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms are very clean and neat. Bathrooms a bit small but efficient. The entire place is so nice and originally painted in Nubian style. After being in Egypt for a while, it is a nice change of culture and perspective. The owner is great, very nice, kind, super efficient and accommodating. The food was great and we always felt comfortable. Reaching the place can be a bit tricky, but it is part of the experience. If you are looking for a nice comfortable place outside the mass tourism, this is the place.
