Pros:

Très joli cadre extérieur et dans la chambre joliment décorée.

Cons:

C'est difficile d'accès en voiture car il y a des travaux en cours mais rien de grave, les taxis vont doucement sur les 2 derniers kilomètres.

Pros:

La guest house è gestita da un uomo straordinario: il signor Nasser che incarna perfettamente lo spirito nubiano di ospitalità e gentilezza. Nasser ci ha fatto sentire a casa e ci ha aiutato per qualsiasi esigenza. Dovessimo tornare da quelle parti, sicuramente torneremo a fargli visita.

Pros:

Chambre et salle de bains propres. Très jolies terrasse et salle avec vue sur le Nile et les îles.
Très bon petit déjeuner et restaurant sur place délicieux, copieux et avec un bon rapport qualité-prix.
Personnel sympathique.

Cons:

Difficile d'accès pour les taxis (route en sable cabossée), mais possibilité de voir directement avec l'hôtel pour les déplacements et les sorties et beaucoup de tuktuk présents dans le quartier nubien (bien se faire préciser le prix exact).

Nasser was wonderful and the place was charming and true to the photos, though the unexpected tuk-tuk ride and the tiny
Pros:

Nasser was absolutely fantastic — he welcomed us warmly and was incredibly kind and helpful from start to finish. The hotel looked exactly like the photos: very small, but beautifully decorated, colourful, and genuinely charming. To reach the village you need to take a tuk-tuk because cars can’t get through past a certain point, but honestly, it turned into a fun little adventure. Everyone we met from the village staff — from the tuk-tuk drivers to Nasser, especially — was impeccable. Best French fries in Egypt.

Cons:

We weren’t told beforehand that we’d need a tuk-tuk to reach the village, so at first we weren’t exactly thrilled — but it actually turned into a fun experience. The only real downside is the bathroom: it’s very small, and the shower is literally right over the toilet. It worked perfectly fine for a one-night stay, but for a longer stay it might not be the most comfortable setup.

Wonderful stay by the Nile
Pros:

Haitham and the rest of the staff were so kind and lovely, going above and beyond to make sure we had a nice stay. They were extremely supportive, helping organise our trips to Philae temple and Abu Simbel. They even waited up until 1am and provided a car pick-up service from Aswan train station, supporting us after our long, tiring day of travel to reach the hotel. They also provided wonderful meals. This stay is a highlight of our trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Cons:

We loved everything and are so grateful

Une bonne surprise. Surtout la terrasse sur Nil.
Pros:

Bon emplacement dans le village nubian. Personnel très gentil et qui organisent tout ce qu’on souhaite.

Cons:

Travaux sur les rues autour. On ne nous a prévenu. Mais la débrouille fait que le taxi nous pose quelque part puis un tuctuc terminé le trajet.
La chambre de nos fils était petite et la salle de bain extrêmement petite. La nôtre tout à fait correcte.
