Nubian Lotus

Hôtel charmant, propre et confortable situé sur l'île éléphantine au calme. Le personnel est adorable et au petit soin. J'ai adoré la vue exceptionnelle de l'établissement.

La douche certe jolie mais le débit était vraiment trop léger

La vue du rooftop.. les lits confortables. Le calme.

Rien à voir avec l'hôtel en lui même mais un paquebot a klaxonné au loin toute la nuit. Tout Assouan a du en profiter. Mais bon c'est l'Égypte... ;)

What’s not to like ?! Friendly, wonderful hosts. A beautiful, sustainable, quiet guesthouse on Elephantine Island, with gorgeous terraces overlooking the Nile and the Botanical Gardens. The noise and chaos of the city just a memory - and only a 5 minute ferry ride away whenever you need to go. Life floats by on the sounds of boats and birds and children splashing in the water. Yes it’s possible to swim in the Nile there ! A wonderful experience. Everything was perfect and yet the biggest shout out goes to lovely Marta and Osama who are such friendly, gentle, beautiful people. And very reactive with answers to all and any questions I had before and during our stay. Can’t thank them enough. The hibiscus is lovely too, many thanks !

Having to leave.

We loved staying here! The guesthouse has everything you need and is well connected to the river banks (to the cornish it's about a 5-min walk straight on and a 3-4 min boat ride). It's best if you come with smallish luggage (backpacks or a carry-on) because the roads on the island are unpaved and there are no vehicles, but if you have bigger bags, a boat can probably be arranged easily. Now, all the big perks. It's fully immersed in the quiet rural life of Elephantine Island, with an amazing view over the river banks and the Botanical Gardens (easy to reach by boat). There is a large rooftop overlooking the Nile where you can have breakfast, dinner and drinks. Marta and Osama are lovely hosts: relaxed, accommodating and helpful, they truly made us feel welcome and at home. They let us get refreshed before catching our evening flight, gave us a good packed breakfast for our early morning trip to Abu Simbel and cooked us a great dinner on their beautiful rooftop. We loved petting and observing their growing cat family and their friendly dog after a hot day exploring outside. We could not have asked for a better stay in Aswan, and we would definitely stay again.

Martha & Osama provided the perfect experience for our two day stay. They are cheerful, kind and went above and beyond to help us when we faced some issues with the next leg of our trip. This little house sits on the west side of Éléphantine island which is a very rural and authentic Nubian place. We wholefully recommend the Nubian Lotus for anyone that wish to experience Aswan under the best conditions! Thank you again Martha and Osama !

Loved the location, ambience, staff, comfortable bed and very clean. More choice for breakfast would have been good. Good restaurants nearby.

Nubian Lotus is a wonderful place and family. Everything was perfect, the view is spectacular, the room was great for our family of 4. We sat out on our balcony with wine that you can buy and was astonished with our view of the desert, nile, and botanical gardens. The family made sure we had the best recommendations and even coordinated with our tour guide. We would highly recommend taking their package of being picked up at the airport and taking their private boat to arrive right at their pier it was a surreal experience.

Lovely inn keepers, wonderful place with great location: what's not to like? And the value!!

Marta and Osama are excellent hosts and caters to your needs if required.
