Peaceful and relaxing
Pros:

Absolutely adored the building itself and it’s so relaxing being by the river. The room itself was lovely and comfortable and I will say that it was a very peaceful stay.

The food was amazing - absolutely loved the beef dishes that we had, they were all cooked beautifully and so tender! The cheesecakes for dessert was also wonderful. Big compliments to the chef!

If you want to organise tours, this is also something that they are able to provide. We organised a tour to Abu Simbel and Philae Temple with them and I have no complaints. They even put together a breakfast bag for us when we left at 4am for Abu Simbel.

You’re also only a few seconds away from the vendors outside for souvenir/gift shopping which is a plus if this is the last part of your trip as there are plenty to choose from.

Overall - we loved our stay here and the staff were amazing and very welcoming and friendly. Thank you!

Cons:

WiFi is mainly located in the cafe/restaurant area. If you work remotely or you have a business online which needs tending to, you wont be able to get WiFi in your room. But it’s okay to sit out in the sitting area. However sometimes the WiFi was also spotty.

Très bel hôtel dans un village nubien
Pros:

Un hôtel typique au bord du Nil et un accueil très chaleureux. Le restaurant est de qualité. La chambre familiale avec balcon, propre et spacieuse, offre une très belle vue sur le Nil. L hôtel propose des transferts en bateau vers Assouan. Bref une excellente adresse!

Pros:

> "Vi havde et fantastisk ophold på dette hotel i den nubiske landsby. Det ligger perfekt midt i byen, og alt er meget rent og til gode priser. Værelserne har en utrolig flot udsigt direkte til Nilen, og stedet er meget hyggeligt.
> Personalet er utroligt hjælpsomme og høflige. Selvom vejen til hotellet er ved at blive renoveret lige nu, er det stadig nemt at komme dertil. Jeg kan varmt anbefale at bruge InDriver eller en taxa, da det fungerer rigtig godt.
> Hvis man vil gøre det endnu billigere, kan man også tage de små busser ind til byen. Det koster næsten ingenting og er en super nem måde at komme rundt på. Et herligt sted!"

Amazing stay at the heart of Nubian village.
Pros:

Right in the heart of the Nubian village, this stay offers a perfect mix of comfort and authenticity. The staff are incredibly helpful and always just a call away, while still ensuring complete privacy throughout your stay.

We stayed for two days and had all our dinner from their restaurant the food was delicious and very reasonably priced, with no sense of overcharging or taking advantage of tourists.

The stay itself was wonderful and the Nile view is absolutely stunning. Big thanks to Ahmed and the team for making it such a memorable experience.

Cons:

Nothing

Colourful and comfortable stay
Pros:

Very comfortable room. Great massage. Location was fun right on the water but close to bazaars in Nubian village. Had a couple of tasty tagine dinners too

Cons:

I booked a trip to Abu Simbal and the communication about morning pick up arrangements could have been slightly better.

Peaceful, comfortable and just beautiful
Pros:

The property itself is unique and beautiful! When you arrive it might surprise you the surrounding as its in a rural area but it’s so peaceful and comfortable.
I would also like to mention the kindness which welcomed us in this beautiful place. The stuff was super helpful, we asked to see crocodiles and if we can get henna and they took us to their home to show it.

Cons:

We booked multiple rooms and one of the rooms didn’t had hot water. They tried to fix it instantly but the issue was something else.

A True Nubian Experience
Pros:

Our stay at the apartment in Kato Waidi Nubian Resort in Nubian Village was truly wonderful. The place was beautiful, peaceful, and full of character, offering a genuine feeling of the Nubian atmosphere. Every corner of the resort had its own charm, with colors, views, and moments that felt unforgettable.

What made the experience even more special was the sincerity of the staff. Their kindness and hospitality felt natural and heartfelt, making us feel truly welcome throughout our stay.

In the end, it was not just a stay, but a true experience, one that leaves vivid images in your mind long after you leave.

Cons:

Ι could mention various small things that differ from typical European standards. However, when you choose to stay in a place like this, you come for the full experience. It’s part of the charm and authenticity of the destination. Instead of focusing on differences, you simply embrace them and enjoy the place exactly as it is.

un nido tranquilo y romántico
Pros:

edificio muy bonito y colorido con vistas preciosas al nilo tanto desde la habitacion como desde el restaurante. muy tranquilo y se respira paz

Cons:

solo se puede salir en barco, el del hotel cuesta 20 dolares, o reggateando con barcos parados puedes conseguir por unos 6, o en indrive/taxi pero da una cuelta grande para llegar a la ciudad. un poco alejado
