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.

Séjour ressourcant, hôtes très serviables
Pros:

Notre séjour chez Nala Narty était exactement ce que nous recherchions : un moment paisible et ressourçant.
Les hôtes ont été aux petits soins et ont parfaitement organisé notre séjour, des transferts en bateau à l’excursion à Abu Simbel, sans oublier les repas.

L’hôtel est sur une petite ile accessible par navette de l’hôtel.

La cuisine était délicieuse, préparée avec des produits frais issus du potager local, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus authentique.

Un séjour de grande qualité, porté par des hôtes extrêmement accueillants et serviables.

Pros:

Nice getaway from the hustle and bustle. Pretty rooms with lovely views. Good opportunity to swim in the Nile. Excellent lunch.

Cons:

Unfortunately this place did not compare well with other places we stayed at in Egypt. The rooms were pretty but there was no place to put your stuff: no hooks, no shelves, no hangers not even a place to hang a wet swimsuit. We had to pay for bottled water, Something we didn’t encounter anywhere else during our three-week journey.

Pros:

This place is amazing. Gorgeous gardens, the best food we had in Egypt- especially the breakfasts. Swimming and relaxing and chatting to the other guests. And the hotel managers ( who were helping out the absent owner) were really helpful friendly informative.

Cons:

Shower was so forceful it flooded out the bathroom! But that was also a good thing

A perfect, calm and friendly place.
Pros:

It’s in a rural area, reached by the water. The rooms are rustic, cool and comfortable. The design of the property is delightful. The staff are charming, helpful and friendly, and almost all speak English. The food is made, and some grown on site in the organic garden. There is a friendly dog and cat too.

Cons:

I liked everything.

Nature
Pros:

Special thanks to Mr Bassem our host, this guy is really making this facility special and treat all guests as they are guests in his own home.

The authentic feel of this property is giving you opportunity to reflect, and kids were having much fun to engage with the farm animals and pets, and keep away from devices.

Cons:

Nothing in particular, privacy could be improved.
