For those who are looking for relaxing quiet place in Aswan, I can strongly recommend this guest house, managed by Omar – Wonderful host!! 1) Hospitality Omar is a man who really cares about the guest, provides wide range of service based on our requests, which was extremely helpful. (late night boat arrival, early morning transportation/sandwich, etc.) The outstanding uniqueness is - He never pushed his own desire to us, he just quickly supported us, when we faced some issues. For a Foreigner, this may be a very rare communication experience in Egypt. (Negotiating with the local people sometimes happen to be very stressful..) 2) Delicious Omar is an excellent cook, his cuisine shows a great local atmosphere. Relaxing breakfast and dinner (option) on the roof top was something which added high value to our vacation. 3) Relaxing Isolated island from the city, quiet atmosphere, warm Nubian people, Ferry on the Nile river experience, etc, great place to relax. (hopefully without wifi – connection was perfect)

Location: Quiet local neighborhood with kids playing on the street around sunset. The house overlooks the Nile. The square in front, flanked by two mosques, has direct access to the river with a small beach for swimming and boat pickups / dropoffs. The main riverside promenade is within 10 minutes walk. There is a proper Carrefour supermarket and ATMs (in the lobby of the Old Cataract hotel next door) on the way. To me, the area felt much nicer and more authentic than Elephantine island. House: Just renovated, the cleanest I've seen in Egypt (especially the kitchen and bathroom). I stayed in a double, which had the necessary amenities. The rooftop is available with pretty sunset views (see attached pic) and a nice chill area, best enjoyed with a tea. Host: Really helpful, English and Spanish speaking, very responsive, with lots of practical travel experience and great recommendations, especially about navigating the local particularities on a budget.

I suppose to stay only one night in Aswan, and I extend it. I would love to stay here more than a week next time. The owner Ghandi with his lovely family light up my trip, he gave us the best experience to travel like a local. Great atmosphere and a lovely common area to chill out, easy to catch up with other travelers. The Nile is in front of the hostel on the nature side, you also can swim in the water. P.S cute cat in the hostel

Great place enough that Rehab (the owner of this hostel) organized a wonderful trip to Abu Simbel for us. The food in this beautiful place is made with love from real Nubian hands. Thank you for helping us all the time

The place is amazing, a fantastic location that is unparalleled in all of Aswan. The service is excellent. The reception is more than wonderful. The owner of the house pays attention to all the details. There is also a tuk-tuk in the hotel that you can use to take to the main street. I will come back again.

All hostels in Aswan

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They gave me plenty of recommendations and did not overcharge for water (like many hostels and hotels do). The area felt safe as staff as well as locals from the village would assist if need be.

    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.

    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. :)

    This village is great if you want to experience local life. The staff here are really nice and always ready to help with a smile. It's very safe to walk around this island even at night. I felt comfortable with the Nubian people and trusted them completely. For those seeking conformity, this hostel may not align. But if you want to relax and enjoy the peacefulness while looking at the stars, this is the place to be
