The noise from the temple

Stayed in December 2023

No free wifi.

The hotel room is basic but good enough for a one night stay just to see Abu Simbel Temple. The bus to/from Aswan stops right in front of the hotel so it's convenient if you're taking the bus.

The shower had no curtain. The floor was slippery. Some things didn't work in the room.

The food at the restaurant was very good.

The only negative was the open shower with no tray. So water tends to get everywhere. And no hot water when I was there.

The hotel was about midway between the airport and the temples .. about 15 minutes each way. A typical Nubian style building with colourful painted walls. A good sized room with and en-suite shower room. A delicious dinner with fish tagine at a very reasonable price.

It is relatively expensive compared to accommodation in other egyptain locations. However, I believe this is 1 of the more affordable accommodations in the area.

The staff were very friendly, our room was clean.

We found 1-2 hair on the bed

Very friendly staff and always willing to help. When we have no small amount of money for tuk tuk, they are so kind to borrow us money. We have a wonderful stay with the nice and helpful staff, and the hotel is very colourful which makes you feel very relaxing

Wifi would cut out but it still worked well enough overall.

Location was only 20 min walk from the temple complex. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly and helped me plan my trip better. It has a nice area to relax outside and chill out.

I can't really think of anything that we didn't like, it really is that good. One thing to take note of is that the hotel is next door to a mosque with very loud speakers. It didn't bother us but some ear plugs might come in handy if you're a light sleeper.

This hotel was a great choice. It's a cracking little hotel ran by a super friendly owner and staff who will take care of you. Good restaurant that served us one of the best meals we had in Egypt. There is also a chilled coffee/tea room that's a nice place to unwind after a day at Abu Simbel. Our room was decent for the price, clean and had all the necessary facilities including air-con. All the staff were attentive and the hospitality warm. The owner has done a great job with the design and the hotel is full of colour in the Nubian style. He can also arrange a boat trip on the lake during sunset which I definitely recommend. Also, the bus/coach station is just up the road and the coach back to Aswan stops opposite the hotel. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, I would definitely recommend it.

Room was a tad basic.

Host & staff were really helpful, even helped us organize our trip to and from Abu Simbel.

Bedding was below standard with a top single sheet being used on a double bed. Bottom sheet rough and uncomfortable.

An unusual style hotel, pleasant and simple. Staff were very helpful at all times. Bus from Abu Simbel back to Aswan is from outside hotel for 100EGP

Like many places in Egypt the place is overpriced for the standard they're offering. You get better and cleaner quality in Europe for the same money, which reflects a strong mismatch. Considering the low payment the staff earns, there's no good reason why an Egyptian hotel couldn't be at least as clean as one in EU. The justification probably is that it is close to a historical place and competition is low. Unfortunately such approach and policy adds to an overall frustrating travel experience in Egypt for individual travelers.

Nice ambience and design and good location if you arrive by bus. Breakfast could use improvement.

- The rubbish bin in the room was half filled, not thrown after the previous guest.

- Nice beautiful hotel - Great location, bus to Aswan is right infront of the hotel entrance. Walking distance to abu simbel. Several eateries and convenience store around - Best hot shower i had in egypt - Feels clean

Our room was quite basic, but it was quiet and efficiently air-conditioned, both big pluses. The location is excellent and the staff was very helpful.

There are some minor issues to take into consideration that would normally not be a huge deal, but are definite drawbacks given the hotel's price point. The mosque next door can be deafening and employees and groups can be noisy, then the stone structure amplifies the sound. There was also loud construction going on while I was in my room. The wifi can be dodgy, but this is a common problem in southern Egypt. Same applies to the hard mattresses. Electrical plugs may also be inconveniently place in rooms. Water got cut off for a period; I also had an issue with some staff chain-smoking and the smoke going into my room, which isn't appropriate.

This is a charming place in Abu Simbel, simple but high in character. The hotel features whitewashed stone walls with painted motifs that draw on Nubian culture, give the place a lot of personality, and instill a calm serenity. The layout is also really nice, rooms facing an arcaded passage and small gardens set up with tables and chairs. There is a really nice lounge with great decorative touches. Breakfast is straightforward and filling; there is also a restaurant which serves very good Egyptian food. The staff is very nice and attentive to your every need. The hotel is located next to the Aswan bus stop, the minibus station, and the market. The hotel is not immediately next to Abu Simbel temples, but the walk is picturesque and no long.

No service then needed...

Good location good breakfast

Possibly the nearest affordable hotel to the temples. Rooms around a pleasant courtyard. Nearby mosque will ensure you don't miss sunrise at the temples.

Great hotel, beautifully decorated in Nubian style, with hospitable owners.
