NOBATiA Guest House

Everything was perfect , location,people and facility

No thing

This guest house was in a prime location and view, it's located in elephentain Island which is near to central of city but need ferry to get in, the ferry cost 10 EGP for Egyptians one way ticket in normal hours and 50 EGP after 12 AM. The view of the guest house was looking to Plants park which is a must see destination in Aswan. The Nile view was amazing and quiet for relaxing. The room was clean and smell good. The bathroom also was clean. It has kitchen with basics need. Thanks for the Host Mr.Ahmed & Eng.Hesham for facilitating the early check-in and preparing the room

For check-in and check-out with luggage you need to rent a private boat to help you get into the guest house. After that you can easily get into the guest house with the public ferry which is 5 min walk from the building.

Great WiFi. Great view and lovely breakfast.

Location is a little hard to get to and in a poor part of the village. I’d recommend getting a boat to take you rather than going through the village. The owner was happy to arrange the return trip.

The peace and quiet was a balm to the soul after Cairo. The staff went out of their way to help, a boat arriving at 2am after a delayed journey and again at 4am to start the trip to Abu Simbel. Everything works!

Being as everyone is going to arrive and leave by boat, a light on the landing steps would be useful.

NOBATIA Guest house is located on the western side of Elephantine Island with great views of the Nile. We were picked up at the public ferry and guided to the guest house, with markets and restaurants along the way pointed out. The apartment was spacious, with a big bathroom, a kitchen and a choice of rooms to look out on the Nile from. Nicely decorated and clean. Good value. Very quiet.

The paths on Elephantine Island are dirt and there are no cars. We had rucksacks so this didn't bother us but we saw someone else struggling to drag a suitcase. There were no top sheets provided (we didn't ask). The mattresses were a little on the soft side for us.

Amazing Host. Neat and Clean appartment. All utensils available for cooking(although we didn't use). Situated right next to the Nile river in the Elephantine island. Take a ferry (10 EGP per way) opp. KFC (Ferry available 24*7) and walk for another 10 mins to reach the location. Might be a lil difficult with heavy luggage but the stay is worth it. Double bedroom with spacious living room. Both the rooms have a small balcony attached with big windows facing the Nile. Ideal stay in a Nubian village. Excellent wifi and air condition.The hosts are easily reachable via WhatsApp. Helped us in all way possible. Very kind and generous. Would stay again if am in Aswan. I know I have a home there :)

Improvement: Nice to have, toilet kit(soap or shower gel) on per person basis instead of one soap for all.

The view is peaceful and magical

I don't face any problems, to be honest
