    Nice place to stay in Abu Simbel, it is a beautiful colourful and well kept building with lovely gardens. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Good fixed price dinner, which was more expensive than elsewhere in Egypt, but seems more standard for Abu Simbel. Staff were friendly. Not far from the temples, which is handy if you're making multiple visits (eg returning to see the light show). The driver we had booked and brought with us from Aswan was made welcome here by the staff.

    The wifi in the rooms was a little weak.

    What a cute place to stay in. Everyone was very welcoming and wanted to talk and get to know you. The hotel was located around the corner from the strip. It was a great time and wish I had more time there to have enjoyed it.

    Little warm water for shower, I missed a coffee maker and better wifi.

    All, everything is perfect, the hospitality, staff very very friendly, very close from the temples but if you don't want walk, the hotel has a tuk tuk. The hotel is beautiful and very clean. If you are looking a real Nubian experience, this is the place. We lost the 1st night and the owner offered stay one night more. The road to Abu Simbel is close for tourists at 5pm so if you arrive in Aswan late (between 4-5 pm)to be pickup by a taxi, is impossible you can go to Abu Simbel, is better you stay one night in Aswan and Next day Go. You can arrange everything with the hotel, taxi and stay one night in Aswan, also they have a new beautiful nubio hotel in Aswan. Thank you very much to owner and all team Kabara Nubian House.

    The bed was quite hard, which might not suit everyone. A softer mattress could enhance comfort.

    Stayed at Kabara Nubian House in Abu Simbel for a night and was charmed by the warmth and hospitality. It felt like a cozy, cultural immersion into their family and traditions. Each room tells a story, adding to the experience.

    Nothing.

    There is much to praise about the Kebara Nubia House. Rooms are well outfitted, great shower, air conditioning, and the facilities decorated in lovely pastel-colored murals. Meals were very good, cooked Egyptian style. Even better was the staff, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. We stayed two nights and took in the peaceful little town as well as the amazing Ramses II and Queen Nefertari temples. Wonderful experience in Nubia!

    The only negative was noisy children in the evening, running up and down the corridors. We would have preferred the food to be hotter.

    Nice atmosphere and a short walk of 20 mins to the temples. The room was nice and the hard bars were great! I really mean it. Most beds are so soft that I wake up with backache.

    I found hair at my pillow. I didnt tell it to the reception, because it was late and I was tired. But all in all the bed linnen seemed clean. We would have liked if there had been a kettle in the room to make coffee and tea.

    The staff, restaurant, view of sunset and sunrise from the terrasse. You get the real nubian feeling and it feels like home. The place is clean and the rooms and bath seem newly renovated and furnished.

    Kabara Nubian House was perfect for our one-might stay in Abu Simbel. It is close to the temples. It had a delicious dinner and provided a box breakfast so we could be at the temples for sunrise. The decor is beautiful. I'm very glad we took the time to spend the night so we could visit the temples both in the afternoon and in the morning. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    Mosquito nets in the room did not fully cover the beds, there were quite a lot of mozzies in the room.

    It was great, could not fault it. Authentic Nubian house. Food very good, both for lunch and dinner - authentic and tasty. Close to a marina for a boat trip on Nasser lake. No need to spend silly money on a 5 star property.
