Pros:

Todo fue excelente. El personal muy amable, la comida deliciosa, la ubicación excepcional a orillas del Nilo y con un muelle privado para que te recojan las embarcaciones, a pasos del Zuk donde puedes comprar de todo y muy económico. Es un pueblo muy pintoresco. Vale la pena quedarse al menos una noche ahí. Además están terminando de construir una piscina a orillas del Nilo, esto es un plus. La usamos en la noche mirando las estrellas.

最高のアスワン滞在
Pros:

スタッフの方が本当に親切でした！夕食も朝食も美味しくて、私たちがツアーに参加するときは5時という早朝にも関わらず､朝食を持たせてくれました。本当に感謝です。このホテルは見た目が本当に可愛くて、写真を撮るのも楽しかったです！！歩ける距離にスークがあるので、ショッピングも楽しいです！

Cons:

私が滞在したときは気温が非常に暑かったためか、クーラーの効きが少し弱い気がしました。

The Best Stay in West Seheil – Kato Waidi Nubian House
Pros:

The Best Stay in West Seheil – Kato Waidi Nubian House!**

I have visited West Seheil several times and stayed at various hotels, but **Kato Waidi Nubian House** truly surpasses them all. I spent 4 days (May 6th – May 10th) here with my brother in a double room, and it was an exceptional experience.

**1. Prime Location:**
The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the tourist bazaars and right next to the main West Seheil pier. It is very easy to find and provides a perfect authentic atmosphere.

**2. Spotless Rooms & Breathtaking Views:**
Our room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. All rooms at Kato Waidi offer a direct, stunning view of the Nile. We could even see the Old Aswan Dam in the distance, which was a spectacular sight.

**3. Outstanding Staff:**
The hospitality is world-class. From **Ahmed** at reception to **Mustafa** in the restaurant, the entire team was incredibly polite and attentive, making sure every request was met with a smile to ensure our comfort.

**4. Exceptional Dining (Chef Arafa):**
The food was so delicious that we didn't eat a single meal outside the hotel during our 4-day stay. We ordered fish, meat, and "Kawareh" tagines; **Chef Arafa** is truly a master. The food is clean, high-quality, and very reasonably priced.

**5. Relaxing Landscape & New Upgrades:**
The landscape is beautiful, with mango trees providing shade throughout the property. I was also impressed by the new expansion and the high-standard swimming pool being prepared right on the Nile—it’s going to take the hotel to a whole new level!
**Bonus:** The hotel’s private pier made our trips very easy, as our tour boat could pick us up and drop us off directly at the property.
Kato Waidi is now my top choice in Aswan. A truly magnificent experience that we will definitely repeat!

Cons:

No TV in room , yet didnt need it as the view was astonshing .
the hotel entrance is slighlty hidden behind Bazars , yet was easy to find as every one knows the place :)

Central Nubian Village colorful destination
Pros:

Cannot beat the location, just a few steps from the boats dock ! Our sunset cruise even came to pick us up directly at the property. Very colorful place, with large sitting/resting area. Rooms were exactly as described previously, maybe even slightly bigger than expected. Staff was also very helpful and responsive.

Cons:

I can note a few things but is it really what you are looking for while travelling for leisure (cause the Nubian village is definitely a leisure destination)? Wifi not great, shower could be improved (hot water and pressure both great, but no real shower dedicated space, more on top of the toilet seat) and bag breakfast for early departures contained almost only ultraprocessed food. That bein said, we had a look at regular breakfast and it looked really yummy !

Séjour inoubliable
Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel est impeccable une vraie déconnexion et cure détox dans un endroit paradisiaque la simplicité de la vie sans complication. Endroit charmant avec des chambres à décor artistique riche de culture Nubienne.
Le staff était très serviable et convivial on croyait avec des gens qu'on connait depuis longtemps.
Un grand merci à Monsieur Zakariya qui nous a accompagné même en tour dans la ville pour empêcher qu'on soit arnaquer. On était ravis de le connaître et la veille de notre départ j'ai eu mal au cœur comme si je me sépare d'un père ou d'un grand père tout notre respect et gratitude pour lui.
Autre point que nous avons apprécié c'est leurs plats très savoureux vraiment une magnifique découverte.

Cons:

Rien du tout limite on a regretté ne pas rester plus! :(
