There was nothing that I did not like.

The hospitality, the accommodation, the owner Seko, is serious & committed to ensuring everything is in order & correct, but he is not intrusive & gives you respect & space to enjoy your stay. The room eas comfortable, cool & clean overlooking the sacred Nile. The food was fresh, tasty & large in portions. The selection of drinks good. The other guests were absolutely great & i made a real friend.

Great owner who was very helpful, the room was nice, and I loved the view from the rooftop! The hostel is on the island and is very easy and cheap to reach by public ferry (takes 5mins). Walking around the island is also fun. Check out King Jamaica for some good food. :)

Bathroom is a bit small as pictures show, shower curtain could improve a lot.

Nice and quiet located on Elephantine Island. Rooms are basic but clean. The host will organise all tours and day trips with local agencies at fix prices that are total average or even lower. We did Felluca boat sunset cruise, Abu Simbel and transfer to Luxor and were not disappointed.

Good value for money. Great view from the terrace, clean rooms. After Cairo, Elephantine island is an oasis of peace.

Be aware, it's not a Hotel but a Hostel, but with good standard. we had a room with own bath. room, bed and bathroom were small, but we spent most of the time on the terrace with a fantastic view. Very quite surrounding. Sico is a great, helpful host. Don't miss to book a tour with a sail or motorship, for a real good price you get a boat on your own. We had a wonderful time at Siko Kato. Relaxing on the terrace, cruising the Nile, swimming and watching birds.

Friendly hosts, especially Mustapha is a great local guy and also a guide who can take you for a trip before the sunset on his boat. Hanging out with Mustapha is pure coolness. Highly recommended. And rooms and bathrooms are all good for what you paid for.

Perfect place to chill and enjoy the river. The best people in the whole Egipt. Check in and enjoy!

Water temperature was either very hot or cold. Nothing in between.

Nice view, and friendly people from the village.

Nothing to complain really.

The location being on Elefantine Island but also with a splendid view over the Nile and desert makes this place perfect for those who want to take a break from the city chaos. The village people are also very kind. A few days in a place like this among the nubian people is like a breath of fresh air. The host, mr. Seko Kato, is also very helpful, communicative and can also organize transport to several destinations. It is a good value for money and not exepnsive.

A great spot. The host is super helpful, especially in arranging early morning boats and taxis. The dinner is great, the balcony view over the river is very nice. Recommended.

Coffee costs the same as in the four stars hotels. A bit pricey.

Quiet part of the island with an awesome Nile view, a small beach nearby and friendly hosts. The terrace offers some relaxing time after the hassle of the city.

This is a great spot. Basic, but everything you need. The roof view is lovely and serene. It is clean and the rooms are decently spacious. Seko the owner is super helpful and welcoming, and can arrange tours, early morning ferries/taxis etc. I recommend it.

The WiFi was not as strong and reliable as I would have liked. The ensuite bathroom was quite small, which made it a bit uncomfortable.

Seko was very helpful and welcoming and communication with him was very easy. When I booked the airport transfer (which is at a cost) he made sure I arrived at the hostel without any issues. The terrace with the views of the Nile were superb. I stayed in a private room, which was confortable enough and had an AC. The shower had warm water.

One one shower working for everyone in the hostel (it's a very small hostel so not too much of a problem) if the terrace could have a cover for the sun it would be great!

Very nice view from the terrace. The owner and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The hostel is very small, the good thing is that the beds are single beds, no bunks. There's WiFi, breakfast optional for 100Egp (Nov23). You can get drinks here as well without going back to the east bank. Beds are comfortable.

Really nice chill vibes overlooking the Nile. Great roof area to chill in the sun or watch the boats going up and down the Nile at night.

None

I highly recommend Seko Kato stay. The owner, Seko is cery helpful and can arrange everything you need. He organised driver, which punctually waited for me at Aswan airport and took me to the ferry boat, where the owner was waited for me and took me to the hostel. The room was rather basic, but clean, with AC. There were delicious breakfasts every morning. And what is the best- view from roof. You can admire Nile rover and listen to birds.

Stayed in November 2023

Really lovely place. Beautiful rooftop and the room was really beautifully decorated. The owner was also so helpful and lovely. About a 10 min walk from the ferry station and in a good enough spot to explore the island.

Getting lost

Perfect view of the nile. Good room and bed and sizeof bed. Helpful staff. I got lost trying to find the hostel on the island (others found it 'easily'). Did also not realise it is on an island. Not too far from the ferry.

Stayed in November 2023

Juat wome small things. There are some rooms were the bathroom is not ensuite but you get you own private one in a room with three other small bathrooms. The room door is tinted glass...it's fine when you are in the bed but don't change to close to the glass

Nice location and very nice view on the roof terras. perfect place to drink a beer. Good breakfast and helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay. Some good restaurants on the island.
