A peaceful getaway with incredible views, outstanding hospitality, and beautiful, authentic Nubian room architecture.
Pros:

This hotel is absolutely lovely, offering one of the most beautiful and relaxing views you could ever ask for. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, filled only with the calming sounds of nature, and I was treated with the utmost respect throughout my stay. A major highlight was the room itself, the traditional brick dome ceiling with its gorgeous spiral artwork was stunning and added such a beautiful, authentic touch to the space!

Cons:

Nothing at all, everything about my stay was wonderful.

Great hotel by the river
Pros:

Nasser made our stay exceptionally great. We arrived late night, he organised the pick up, welcome drink and gave us an upgrade to junior suite with wonderful terrace looking over the Nile. The premises were clean and the breakfast was wonderful. Nasser helped us to organise a day tour to Philae temple and sightseeing the downtown. The hotel location is super convenient in a quiet area without any noise but just a few minutes walking from the Nubian village and wonderful local market.

Inolvidable
Pros:

El sitio es precioso en frente del Río Nilo. Muy acogedor. El dueño del hotel ha sido muy servicial y simpatico con nosotros, nos ha tratado muy bien. Incluso nos prepararon una fiesta nubia por la noche donde estuvimos todos juntos bailando. Nos contrató un taxi de madrugada porque teniamos un vuelo a las 5 de la mañana y nos preparó una bolsita con croissants y agua para el camino. Ha sido una experiencia realmente increible. Muchisimas gracias por todo. Shukran

Amazing work experience and incridible staff. If you like authenticity and not mainstream, typical experience this is th
Pros:

I booked a room here for my son, who just graduated college. This was his first solo international trip! Mahmoud was very helpful and timely in responding to my queries. He helped my son with airport transfer, sightseeing in Aswan and the trip to Abu Simbel. Here is the review in my son’s words:

“I had a great stay. The staff were great and the food was fantastic. The view from the room was amazing as well. Thanks to Mahmoud for all the help in making my trip run smoothly.”

Cons:

It is just that the setup is not like a traditional hotel, but it could be us not reading all the details. It is truly an authentic experience and the staff and food make it worth it.

Serious Cleanliness Problems – Would Not Stay Again
Pros:

Nothing at all

Cons:

Unfortunately, our experience at this guest house was very unpleasant because of major cleanliness issues. After spending the first night, we discovered a live bed bug on the bed and immediately took photos and videos as proof. Although the staff moved us to another room, we were disappointed to know the affected room would still be used for new guests without proper treatment first. We no longer felt safe or comfortable staying there, so we canceled the rest of our reservation and moved to another hotel. I cannot recommend this place to others, especially for anyone who cares about hygiene and basic health standards.

Unsafe and Unhygienic Stay – Not Recommended
Pros:

Did not like anything at all

Cons:

Our stay at Opal Nubian Guest House in Aswan was extremely disappointing due to serious cleanliness and health concerns. After our first night, we found a live bed bug on the bed, and we documented everything with photos and videos. Even after reporting the issue, we were shocked to learn that the same infested room would still be given to other guests before proper pest control and disinfection were completed. Because of this unsafe and careless situation, we canceled our stay and moved to another hotel immediately. Based on our experience, I would not recommend anyone to stay at this place, as it does not meet basic cleanliness and hygiene standards.

Génial
Pros:

L’accueil de Nasser était exceptionnel. La personne la plus serviable et sympathique que nous ayions rencontré en Égypte. Il se rend disponible et bienveillant. Félicitations au cuisinier également car nous avons mangé les trois jours sur place et c’était excellent. Nous avons également pris une chicha sur place.

Cons:

Pros:

Inicialmente nos costó decidirnos porque pensábamos que podríamos quedar muy aislados si nos quedábamos en la nubian village. Finalmente fuimos y la decisión fue más que acertada. La hostal está súper bien ubicada ya que no está ni en pleno centro de las tiendas (lo que puede ser algo agobiante), ni aislado completamente. Además tiene acceso directo al Nilo a través de la zona donde está ubicado el restaurant. Sobre este último, merece una valoración aparte ya que realmente ha sido de los mejores lugares que hemos comido en las 2 semanas que venimos viajando por Egipto. El personal, y en especial Nasser, fueron especialmente amables y serviciales para ayudarnos en todo.

Cons:

El baño y las habitaciones en general no son muy espaciosas.

Unfortunately, it was not a very memorable stay.
Pros:

The property gave the Nubian experience. Good breakfast and accommodating staff.

Cons:

Our room was not ready for the first night, so stayed in a very basic "outpost" room with a tiny bathroom. In fairness, the staff waived our dinner cost for the first night. The second night onwards were moved to the regular room that I had booked. The hotel amenities are average for the price in Egypt e.g. there was no soap in the bath, the bathroom was small with no separate shower area, there was no daily room service.

A pleasant stay with beautiful views of the Nile from the hotel's restaurant.
Pros:

The staff are very helpful, polite and friendly.
The restaurant is on the nile and the view from.the restaurant is just amazing.
They would help you with anything. I needed to go the centre of Aswa. Twice and Nasser arranged a taxi to take me and bring me back for a reasonable price. The driver was also very friendly and helpful.
The location is in Nubian Village near the shops and cafes/restaurant.
The bed was comfortable and the AC was working.
The room and bathroom was very clean.

Cons:

I liked everything except the bathroom was a bit small and there wasn't a separate space for the shower.
