Nubian Palace Eco Lodge - A Nubian Home Since 1959

Location, free village tour guide

(1) The lady at the reception is excellent, very nice and friendly. The rest of the staff, too. (2) The cook and the food are wonderful. (3) The bed is very comfortable. (4) The Nile view from the terrace is impressive. (5) It’s a nice place to stay for a couple of days if you are not in a hurry or planning to embark on a cruise ship.

(1) The location - it’s too far from the airport and from Aswan. The road to get to the hotel is very bumpy. No taxi driver would be happy or willing to take passengers to the village where the hotel is located. (2) The WiFi signal in the rooms is extremely poor. (3) There’s no coffee nor juice included in one’s breakfast.

In all honesty, there are no words strong enough to describe the feelings that you experience when visiting this place. First off, the actual accommodation is wonderful, really pretty and very clean. The hotel features a restaurant which serves homemade meals which are prepared on the spot and taste great. We opted to have dinner at the hotel all the nights we spent here because we simply wouldn’t bother to look elsewhere after dining here once - and we usually like to explore more options. In terms of service the hotel helped us organize our trips and excursions around the area, which was very convenient for us and, surprisingly was settled at prices very similar to the ones we found online (by unknown to us organizers) - sometimes even better! Lastly and most importantly, the attentiveness and kindness of the staff has been truly unbelievable. Every single person from the staff helped and answered every question we had and they were always happy to do so. We have travelled in many places around the world, yet the Nubian people have really been spectacularly amazing, both in terms of their hospitality and their kindness. Never have we ever felt so sincerely welcomed by accommodation staff. Each and every one have been unique in their own way and each and everyone stole a piece of our hearts. We will be back!

The property is in a very good location, just in front of River Nile. I used the hotel pick-up service, so did not get an issue to find the property. The staffs are super nice and very helpful. The food is awesome and dinning area is superb. You can enjoy the view of the river Nile while having the food. They provide a free tour to their village which is awesome and you will experience the Nubian life/culture. Overall very nice and comfortable stay in the Nubian palace hotel. They provide the car service to Abu Simbel and other local tours as well with a decent price.

I find that the rooms are very small and no space to properly open the backpack or trolley. Wifi connectivity is not good, other than these 2 issues, I do not find any other issues as such.

Friendly staff and great view from the room over the Nile. Rooms are cozy and clean.
