Wonderful and peaceful experience
Pros:

Nala Narty is definitely an hidden gem on a dream island. The peacefulness is what we were searching for our stay at Aswan and we were 100% served!
The style of the hotel is really original and offers an incredible view of the Nile directly from the bed.

Cons:

The water isn’t free, even when arriving.
Shuttle boats to the city are not super frequent (1 boat every 2h for each port)

Extraordinario alojamiento en medio del Nilo
Pros:

Nos ha gustado todo de este alojamiento: Las vistas al Nilo desde las habitaciones son excepcionales, y su disposición y la del resto de los espacios logra una integración con el entorno que resulta muy acogedora y agradable.
La cocina es excelente (imposible olvidar los zumos...). La comunicación con las dos orillas del rio está garantizada con independencia de la hora, así como cualquier servicio o traslado que ellos puedan organizar a la zona de Aswan, Abu Simbel o Luxor, con precios siempre ajustados.
Pero si algo hay que destacar por encima de todo es la extraordinaria amabilidad, proximidad y simpatía de la encargada (Arwa) y del gerente (Bach), a quienes mandamos un saludo desde España.

Un séjour calme et reposant à Assouan
Pros:

Nous avons continué notre séjour après Le Caire dans ce merveilleux endroit à Assouan, sur une petite île pour une nuit. Nous nous sommes très bien reposés et avons profité d’une belle vue sur le Nil avec Zazou (corgi) et Aicha (chat). C’était génial et nous avons bien mangé également. Le service était super et très serviable!!

Cons:

Rien à dire

Amazing! Echt een aanrader voor als naar Aswan komt.
Pros:

De ligging op het eiland midden op de Nijl is fantastisch. Het eten was zo goed en de mensen die er werken zo aardig en behulpzaam. Voor de rest ziet het verblijf er keurig uit.

Highly recommend for people staying a few days in Aswan
Pros:

Nala Narty had been a wonderful stay in Aswan, especially after spending few days in Cairo. It was peaceful, lovely and relaxing. Sheriff and the team frankly made the whole experience next level. My partner and I had a great time under their hospitality. It was like staying at your local Egyptian friend’s house.
The room is simple but comfortable. The food they served was excellent and authentic.

Cons:

Nothing. I was a bit hesitant at the beginning that travelling in and out might be inconvenient as it’s on an island but they helped us arrange most transportation and everything was very well organised and easy.

Sublime
Pros:

Nala Narty est une expérience en soi qui s’adresse à ceux qui veulent déconnecter ! Nous avons adoré notre séjour, le personnel est génial toujours arrangeant et réactif. Notre chambre vue Nil étaient magnifique et la nourriture succulente servie sur demande. C’était magique merci

Un sitio para descansar después de varios días viajando por Egipto
Pros:

Su situación en un pequeña isla en mitad del Nilo , hay que dirigirse al muelle más cercano que te indiquen en el Hotel y el transporte hasta el Hotel es parte del servicio del Hotel . Es un sitio para desconectar , bañarte en el río . Y comida orgánica

Cons:

Todo muy bien .

I will be back!
Pros:

Great place to unwind after weeks of temples and intensity. You can swim in the Nile, great views from the room looking out at the lake. I stayed for 5 nights and 2 of those nights I just relaxed. The food was great.

Bakh the manager went out of his way to help organise my days and ensure I was having a great time. His english is great, very easy to speak to, extremely responsive. and we hung out together too which was nice.

Great for solo travellers and for partners who want a more romantic spot, there’s an epic rooftop as well, and Zazu the dog is a legend! Will miss the place.

Cons:

Some of the younger kids who work there need better attitudes. Otherwise all good.

Amazing tiny resort but corrupt villagers make it hard on them
Pros:

Amazing setting: cute piece of heaven on a corner of an island. Rooms are as gorgeous as on the pictures. The owner is super kind and driven to make things nice for you. Food is absolutely amazing, in a lovely arab-style natural hippy setting, with amazing staff in service and the kitchen. Travelling there must be by boat, which is a nice mindful calming moment to be on the Nile close to nature.

Cons:

The owner is dependent on staff from the Nubian village: if he doesn't hire them, they won't allow his guests passage to the boat dock to get to his island. These drivers picked us up from the airport, but then dumped us in the village at midnight not willing to bring us to the boat that brought us to the hotel, so we had to force them to point us to the boat - very strange. Later, the same drivers had to bring us to Abu Simbel, and we had to wake them up ourselves (that should have been the owner doing that, not the guests, it was a negative experience) and they refused to wake up. The owner swiftly arranged someone else, who was so tired we almost drove off the road into the desert a couple of times - we had to keep him awake with coffee and cookies. So the dependence on this corrupt Nubian village is making the business definitely worse.

Very nice stay with wonderful staff!
Pros:

Nala Narty is an oasis of rest in an otherwise bustling Egypt. We enjoyed our rustic room with lovely views on the Nile. Food was excellent and the staff was truly wonderful and helpful on the island and with organizing excursions in Aswan!

Cons:

A bit more flexibility in breakfast times (a little earlier) would be nice, especially given the early tours. We were given a nice breakfast box though, but would be nice to enjoy the full breakfast every day. Late breakfast seems to be an issue almost everywhere in Egypt though :)

C’était très sympa
Pros:

Le lieu sur une petite île au calme.
La déco, le potager, le personnel, la vue de la chambre.

Cons:

C’est un peu loin du centre de Assouan donc implique un bateau systématique.
