Aswan Hotels with Breakfast

Everything was perfect, from our arrival to our departure. The hotel is magnificent, the decor is exquisite, and the infinity pool is huge with a view of the Nile. The staff were very attentive without being intrusive. Our room was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. We were even able to visit Agatha Christie's famous suite and the presidential suite, a special thank you to the young woman who gave us the tour, unfortunately, I didn't catch her name. We had an excellent stay and wished we could have stayed longer – maybe next time! Thank you for your warm welcome, kindness, and all your thoughtful touches. 😍

Food: Provides local food, fair price, good taste👍 Service: Good service, some staff can speak English, communication is barrier-free; round trip boat ride is free, round trip boat ride during the stay is 200 pounds, round trip to Philae Temple is 400 pounds (it seems that the temple pier charges some fees); we asked the hotel to book a car to Abu Simbel Temple, 4100 Egyptian pounds, a little expensive but it seems to be a service provided by a formal company, the driver is very good👍 Environment: The hotel is opposite the Philae Temple, and it takes about ten minutes to take a boat from the pier to the island where the hotel is located. The scenery of the Nile is beautiful: there will be some geckos in the room, hahaha, but there is no problem with going to the toilet and taking a shower, and the sanitary conditions are better than expected. Overall, it is worth recommending. There is no wifi, but it is an interesting natural experience.

I heard that the more prosperous part of Aswan is the east bank of the Nile, but this is a small hotel in a Nubian village on the west bank of the Nile. If you have a chartered car, you can stay in the village to experience the Nubian culture (there is a section of road under construction into the village, it is not easy to walk and it is very dark at night). You can see the sunrise over the Nile when you go out in the morning. It is very quiet and the small village is also very beautiful. The service is particularly good. The breakfast (some bread, yogurt and boxed juice) will be packed for the morning meeting. There is an independent bathroom, but the light is dim, so I lowered my expectations. It is normal and good conditions in Egypt. At least it is clean, the bath water is hot, and it is not a problem to sleep in clothes for a night.

We had a wonderful stay at Ekadolli Nubian Guesthouse in Aswan and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Nubian experience. The hospitality was incredibly warm and friendly from the moment we arrived. Everyone greeted us with genuine smiles and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. The atmosphere was so comfortable and caring that it truly felt like a home away from home. The food was absolutely delicious, with every meal freshly prepared and full of flavor. One of the highlights of our trip was the tour to the Nubian Village, where we learned about Nubian culture, traditions and crocodile breeding. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and happy to answer every question we had, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. We noticed that some reviews mention the location as a downside. For us, however, it was not a problem at all. We were always able to arrange transportation whenever needed. While the cost of hiring drivers was slightly higher than what we experienced elsewhere, the convenience and overall experience more than made up for it. What truly sets this place apart is the people. Their kindness, hospitality, and constant willingness to help created a memorable experience that we will never forget. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with our stay. Thank you to everyone at Ekadolli Nubian Guesthouse for making our time in Aswan so special. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Aswan.

Pros The hotel facilities were absolutely beautiful with an amazing view. Traditional Nubian style house. Every corner makes you want to capture the space. We had a rocky start but the hotel staff tried to redeem themselves. We lost an apple watch which the hotel helped us get back ASAP before we reached Luxor. We are grateful for this. Cons Awful communication and hospitality. We were the only guests in the entire resort because of low season but still received shitty service. The hotel is in a secluded place making it difficult to reach.It’s on top of a mountain on a dusty rocky road. The hotel offers a tuktuk. We did our research prior and contacted the hotel to arrange getting to the hotel from the village and check in since we knew we’d land in the AMs. We were ignored. We arrived at the village meeting point at 1:45 but only ended up getting to our rooms around 3:50am because reaching the hotel via call and WhatsApp was so difficult. The staff had no sense of urgency. We were frustrated and anxious in this wellness resort. Our taxi driver refused to take us up the mountain and the tuktuk refused to take us because of our many bags (which is understandable). I’m very disappointed in the service and I know the staff has lots of potential to improve on their service delivery. The hotel needs to be more cognisant of their customer service and guests hospitality. Staying here was stressful. Recommended if you want aesthetic vibes,a beautiful picturesque hotel with good breakfast. Don’t recommend if you prioritise great guest services, comfortability and peace.

If you choose this Guest House you'll live among Nubian houses on the west side of Elephantine Island. You commute to Assuan by ferry (about 10 minutes' walk away from Labib guest house, 15 EGP per ride), but your host, Mohammed, will send a boat to meet you when you initially arrive and even arrange a taxi transfer from the airport ( the latter for a fee). What I liked best about the house was the deck, where you have breakfast or can watch the sunset. You sit under a reef roof in the open and have a view of the Nile and the desert hills opposite you. Very calming and quiet! The room I was in was clean with basic furniture and amenities. Mohammed was very helpful and arranged for me to go to Abu Simbel in a minibus and to Luxor in a taxi at short notice. He has good connections to the tourist industry and is very helpful. His wife is equally friendly and welcoming. If you have time, I recommend a boat ride across the Nile and a short walk up to the ruins of the Coptic monastery and a subsequent visit of the Botanical Garden situated on a nearby island. I also enjoyed visiting the open-air weaving workshop near Labib Guesthouse. The Mövenpick Resort on Elephantine Island, about 20 minutes' walk away, on the other hand, shows you a completely different world with carefully manicured lawns, flowers and staff in uniform!

The hotel is right by the Nile River. There is a large area full of his homes. It is a bit like a more distinctive homestay. It is in Nubian style, and there are many distinctive decorations in the room. The hotel is located in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is deserted and remote, so it is also very quiet. The hotel we booked to pick us up from Cairo to Aswan was charged $55. It took about 40 minutes to drive. I felt cheated. In fact, you can call a taxi directly from the airport. It is not as chaotic as it is said on the Internet. The breakfast in the hotel is not bad. The fried egg is very delicious. There is a waiter who is Nubian. He is very nice to me. He will take the initiative to help me carry things and remind me to pay attention to the steps. It is the most sincere and friendly service I feel in my trip to Egypt. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask his name. When I left, I wanted to find him to tip but couldn't find him.

Benben is a beautiful place and the service is top notch. Why the 3 stars? Our room jacuzzi was way too hot to enter. On the first day they send someone over who added cold water so we could enjoy it. Then on the second day as we are coming back from our day trip and want to relax, we find out our jacuzzi is again way too hot. It’s not fun to wait for them to fix this issue when we want to go in right now and not in an hour or so. Also as a 5 stars hotel, the hot water kept running out in our shower after 15 minutes which is quite crazy. It shouldn’t be like this. Or else we loved everything. The food is really good, and as I said the staff/service is amazing.

Facilities: Pretty average, no toiletries provided. The faucets were a bit old, which might be a common issue for older hotels. Environment: Absolutely stunning, even better than the old waterfall. It's located on a small island. Service: The staff were very welcoming and helpful, with dedicated personnel to assist you. To get to the island, you need to take a boat that runs every half hour, 24/7. The service is excellent. Breakfast: Incredibly rich and varied.

The facilities are old, but I decided to stay there because I had to get up at 4am to take part in the Abu Simbel Temple tour. The doorman called a taxi for me to get to the airport for a surprisingly cheap price, so that was a relief.
