Buen apartamento en la isla Elefantina
Pros:

Osama fue un gran anfitrión, estuvo atento de todos los detalles, nos recogió en el ferry, nos ayudó con alguna excursión, la nevera estaba con muchos botellines de agua que se agradece y siempre estuvo dispuesto ayudarnos en todo. El apartamento está nuevo las camas son cómodas y está todo muy limpio, la ubicación es muy buena a una calle del ferry, los desayunos estaban bien y tienes una tienda justo al lado por si necesitas comprar algo. Pasamos unos días geniales, muy bien calidad precio y pudimos descansar muy bien después del caos del Cairo. Gracias

Cons:

Nada.

Pros:

Clean and comfortable; pretty good value for money.
Tasty and filling breakfast.
WiFi was very decent.
The location is very convenient, near the ferry terminal.

Cons:

No soundproofing whatsoever. You can hear everything, including the call to prayer from the nearby mosque at 5am.

If you try to book tours or a taxi, the host will try to overcharge you. Pay no more than 2.200 Egyptian pounds for a taxi for the day (which kept us waiting for half an hour at one of the stops, because he did not stay there to wait for us). The host initially quoted 70 Euro, which is of course excessive. That's typical behavior in Egypt but still.

Pros:

Casa tradizionale sull’isola elefantina tutta a nostra disposizione. Situata molto vicino all’attracco dei traghetti. Camere comode e zona giorno molto ampia. Il bagno un po’ piccolo, ma sufficientemente comodo. Osama è un ragazzo gentile che gestisce con cura la struttura e ci ha aiutati con prontezza ad organizzare le nostre escursioni.

Es una buena opción si decides quedarte en la Isla

Molto buono rispetto al Prezzo
Pros:

Grande ricerca di accoglienza e disponibilità da parte di Osama, il proprietario. Guest house molto carina e ben tenuta situata nell'isola elefantina di Assuan, facilmente raggiungibile via barca.
Letti e lenzuola molto puliti, ricca colazione tipica.

Cons:

Alcuni punti della casa non erano proprio il massimo della pulizia come l'armadio o la cucina.

Bien et bien placé mais trop cher par rapport aux équipements
Pros:

Appartement situé à 5min du ferry local. Accueil souriant et aimable. Petit-déjeuner salé copieux.

Cons:

ce n’est pas un studio duplex c’est un appartement avec 2 chambres.. tout n’est pas disponible par rapport au descriptif : pas de cafetière, pas de mobilier extérieur , pas d’etendoir.. Il manque surtout une plaque pour cuisiner et des ustensiles (l y a un Carrefour sur l’autre rive). Il faut juste rajouter une plaque de cuisson et des assiettes et couverts, une poêle, une casserole et là ce serait un super QG pour visiter Assouan.C’est pourquoi nous avons baissé la note

Value for money
Pros:

The location of the property is very good overlooking the Nile. You don’t have to tread inside the narrow lanes. Osama the host was very proactive and had been asking Amit our whereabouts. The property was well cleaned and sheets were fresh and changed. The kitchen had basic cutlery and plates and kettle with coffee and tea packets. Fridge was stocked with water which is ofcourse payable on your exit. Washroom has a dryer and bedrooms sure air conditioned. To roam around the city and to do a day trip to Abu simbel, osama arranges for a guided tour at a price. He Is also kind enough to pack food for early travels. While you can also go using Superjet travels- 201150259612 also for travels to Luxor

Cons:

Nothing really
