El Prince Guesthouse

The team is friendly

What a nice find! The view from the rooms and roof terrace is great, overlooking the botanical garden island and the route to desert monastery on the west bank. Absolutely no traffic noise from the city at all, just lots of quiet sailboats and an occasional water taxi. The manager Amgad was incredibly kind to us - from (huge) packaged breakfast we could not possibly finish ourselves, to a wake up knock on the door to make sure we don't oversleep for our daytrip, even taking us on his private motorboat on the last day, not just between the islands for sights, but also to the dock near train station. Nothing was ever a problem. We truly believe this is one of the best guest houses in its class in Aswan. It is not fancy, but the bed is comfy, hot water runs and as long as you set your expectations right, this is a lovely place to use as home base while you explore.

Bit hard to find in the maze of narrow dirt streets, but the location and view are worth it. Could be considered a bit rough, but we're used to exposed wires, lower cleaning standards and occasional bug. It's comparable to most hostels in the world. Problems with bathroom water running were promptly fixed and in the meantime we got access to a much larger (shared) bath with a proper bathtub. The manager really went out of his way to make our stay comfortable despite the drawbacks

Great breakfast, amazing view and nice quiet location!

Nothing

view is marvelous, staff is very kind, price is fair

bed was not perfectly clean, the elephantine island is very poor and also this accomodation, all the property is a little bit messy (could be more clean of rubbish and other stuff they think will be usefull one day...)
