Hospitable, clean and spacey environment! Rooftop and balcony view were both amazing. Location is very convenient for a tourist. The host was extremely friendly!

Great place to stay with breakfast available. It is also 10 min walk to the main market and the staff is always available and very helpful. The hostel helped me book Abu Simbel tour as well at a very reasonable price.

The place is amazing with a view on the Nile, we could swim and kayak in the Nile. It's close to the main spots in Aswan and the hosts are amazing super friendly people.

There’s not always a person waiting in the reception but they can be found inside the property.

Property is in a quiet area of Aswan, away from the noisy city. Crossing the street it has an exclusive area to swim into the Nile river or do some kayaking, which are rented for a cheap price. They also offer water and soft drinks and a small breakfast included. You can easily spend many days relaxing in the hostel, without even leaving to do attractions.

Internet I don’t like

The host Gandi is super helpful, helping us arranging trip to Abu Simbel and Luxor. The driver to Luxor (i even didn’t know his name) is really nice, careful, and thoughtful. He drove us to 2 temples along the way in an unbelievable hot day. Our whole family likes him a lot. Hope he has a safe trip back home.

It is quite outdated, 20 to 30 years old. But how it is in Egypt. It's stuck in a time capsule and everything is old because the country and people and not economically prosperous. Kitchen smell a bit. But you get used to it. I burn my ball with the butwasher pipe and also my bottom not easy to mix hot and cold.so it's either too hot or cold.

Read all the positive views, is exactly like that. Everything is wonderful as the reviews and concept describe. Gandhi is the real version of Gandhi. A Nobel man. He is very friendly easy to talk to and helpful I stayed there for several days. He is very helpful and helped organise the trip to Abu Simbel for 800egp I think. A 4 am pick up. It was really good. But the driver was dumb and opened the window when everyone was freezing to death. This was in February at 4 am. But after communicating with the driver we sorted this out. Plus Ghandi sorted out a takeaway breakfast. Which was decent enough for the trip. Bread with cheese and jam. The location is a good 12 to 15-minute walk to the main road where boats and restaurants are. The breakfast is simple and good and does the job. The guests are good. But the Chinese don't talk a lot to others. I never knew why. The price is really good for the service and concept The WiFi only works on the down floor. Near the reception The price is really cheap and you can check in anytime. Good for solo travellers. It's very safe and secure with good bunch of people that you can team up with to go to Abu Simbel and Phili Temple (a boat ride across and back should cost 80EGP, but they rip you off and ask for 150EGP. It's a four-story building 🏫 and they have a rooftop to chill and take in the views.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Great place to meet other travellers, you can go for a swim right in front of the Hostel. The staff was very helpful and they had a washing machine for you to use. The view from our balcony was very pretty. All in all I would definitely recommend this place and if I go to Aswan again in the future I will stay here again.

It can be a bit hard to find the first time you arrive to Aswan. I forgot my cap in the minivan of the company that organized a tour to Abu Symbel and the staff didn't solve this issue on time.

The views from the hotel were amazing. The bunk bed was comfy enough and the staff was nice.

Nothing. Very nice and helpful. Aswan as a whole has a lot of power outages so just bring a backup battery. More outlets in the rooms would help to...

The staff was nice, they were so helpful. travelers were great. Breakfast was typical. The bathrooms were clean. The bed was comfortable. The space outside to swim was nice, but could have been cleaned a bit more.

Nothing

This home offers so many amazing places to relax that I'm sure anyone with an open mind will find a way to spend a fantastic few days here. I postponed my trip so I could stay here one more day!

A very nice place to stay. A bit more of an atmosphere created by the staff would benefit this place (as I’ve seen in other hostels in Egypt).

Fantastic hostel! Nice location on the edge of Aswan, short walk from all main attractions. The section of the hostel right on the river is an incredible spot to hang and take in the beauty of the Nile in Aswan. Swimming and kayaking possible. Nice facilities and management by Gandhi. Highly recommended!!

I suspect that the bedsheets haven’t been washed since they were very itchy and during the night the staff made quite some noice

It had a rooftop terrace, a great communal seating area downstairs, plenty of bathrooms, and a decent location in a peaceful neighbourhood outside the centre. + a nice terrace with a jump platform into the nile

The colour of the mattress cover and pillow cover should be white in the accommodation business, but it wasn't..

Good staff

Great location with a beautiful view of the Nile. The owner will help you to organize a trip to Abu Simbel at a good price and recommend excellent local restaurants.

Great place to meet travelers and to swim in the Nile! They have a back deck that looks out over the river and a central area where travelers can meet and talk. Ghandi was such a great host! I would definitely stay here again in Aswan.

Though I was very careful when getting down from the upper berth, I still hurt my arm. Not the problem of the bed though.

Great location. Nice staff. Reasonable price. Most importantly they provide day tour to Abu Simbel which is the main reason I chose to stay with the hostel.

Not very central location, however at the Nile!

We loved our stay! Super nice location at the Nile with the possibility to rent kayaks and take a swim! Nice option to sleep in tents on the rooftop terrace!

was happy enough with everything. maybe would be good if there was a lift as there are several floors, or better signage when trying to locate it

great stay, very friendly and helpful host and staff. gave lots of advice and recommendations and easily helped me get on a cheap tour to Abu simbel. was allowed to check in early and have a nap after my long bus journey.

I guess it could be more modern, more clean. but I guess that would take away from the authentic local feel is has. can't complain too much

the owner was exceedingly helpful and friendly! I felt very welcome and at ease. I arrived very early and he let me check in and helped carry my bag up. he then gave me suggestions and tips on where to go and how - avoiding having to go on pricy tours. because of him and the hostel I ended up extending my stay, I changed my plans and spent and extra 2 days! it's a bit of a walk and not the easiest to find but its a nice quiet location. rooms are nice and spacious and the common areas are great! you can rent kayaks, swim in the nile, there's a fire pit and chill areas overlooking the nile and at the hostel entrance. they even prepare you a packed breakfast/lunch if you are going on any early morning trips with them. I did the one to Abu Simbel. would stay again and recommend to others! made some nice friends at the hostel too. 10/10

It was nice to be away from everything, but a 10min walk for food.

Breakfast was good!!

Stayed in March 2024

I didn’t like the tent as I like lot of space and changed to dorm the next day.

Great staff who made it like home. Gandhi kindly organised taxi from airport and also transport to Abusimbel.
