Guest Reviews

• CHIA LING (10/5): - 老闆人很nice 在埃及住宿算很乾淨
• Catherine (7/5): -
• Stefano (8/5): Warm and genuine vibe, definitely recommended. - Five stars for the hospitality alone! The host is exceptionally kind and gave us a free local tour of Aswan. He's friendly and honest unlike many people in the area. The shower isn't the best and breakfast isn't perfectly on time, but it's customized to your need and honestly much better than what you would expect for this price!
• Jyun (10/5): - 位置不錯 無
• Flavia (10/5): Kind and caring owner, very helpful. Clean facility, excellent breakfast. I definitely recommend this accommodation. -
• Gabriela (7/5): - Wonderful young owner of a very pretty Nubian house, beautiful colours
• Zainab (10/5): Peaceful and comfortable ⭐ - The accommodation was very lovely, well taken care of and clean. Our room had the most comfortable bed we had slept on in our entire stay in Egypt! Breakfast is free with your stay, which is served on the rooftop with a view of the Nile River. Abdo and his team are very lovely, they organised our trip to Abu Simbel, and kindly offered to pick-up some things from town for us (the location is not central, but in a peaceful local neighbourhood). It was a pleasure to support a local Nubian business, I would definitely stay here again. The shower didn't drain properly, and leaked a bit but not a big problem.
• Rafael (10/5): - Abdo built this guest house to complete a work his father started - and he did a great job. The location, the view to the Nile and, most importantly, his hospitality should be experienced by other guests. I truly recommend!
• 永欽 (9/5): -
• Alessio (10/5): An Unforgettable Nubian Night in Aswan - The rooms allowed us to truly experience a Nubian night. The hospitality was outstanding. Abdul made our stay unforgettable, sharing his knowledge about Aswan and this beautiful place with such warmth and passion
• Ivana (7/5): - Smještaj je bio čist i udoban, dobar wi-fi, fen. Relativno blizu aerodroma i blizu hrama Philae. Pripremili su nam doručak za ponijeti kada smo išli na rani izlet. Lijepi pogled s terase. Doručak je bio topli i dostatan. Stare slavine koje se ne mogu zatvoriti pa curi voda. Usred noći netko je u susjedstvu izvodio građevinske radove i brusio što nama nije smetalo jer smo bili jako umorni. U okolici nismo našli restorane, svi su u centru grada.
• Marie-Pierre (9/5): Petite guest house très simple, personnel sympa à 3kms du centre - Chambre de taille correcte (sans fenêtre pour se préserver de la chaleur), lit confortable, rooftop avec vue sur le Nil et les environs, pour le diner (excellent) et le ptit dejeuner (basique). Tres calme, pas de bruit. Accueil excellent d Abdo, le manager, qui est venu nous chercher à l aéroport et nous a organisé une journée de visite (Philae...). Nous avons pu laver notre linge en machine et le faire sécher dehors. Nous savions par les commentaires que les abords n étaient pas beaux, ce n'est pas gênant. Une rue très passante est à 300m, pratique pour prendre taxi et autres tuktuk et aller au centre d Assouan (3kms) La douche est particulière, elle asperge partout dans la SDB mais l eau est bien chaude et la pression excellente
• Liwen (10/5): -
• Amjad Idries (8/5): -
• 永欽 (10/5): 雖然離市區較遠，但以這個價格在阿布辛貝是非常滿意的！ - 貼心的服務 無
• Cheryl (10/5): - Perched a distance away from the city centre, King Kassem Nubian Guesthouse offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of Aswan city, allowing you to wake up to a quiet morning by the Nile river, opposite the Suheil Island. You get the privilege of having breakfast on the rooftop overlooking the island, and you can spot some rapids along the Nile from this unique vantage point. Even if it may require you to take a taxi back and forth the city, I think the serenity it offers is worth the slight inconvenience. The guesthouse is very well-maintained, the rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and they have a water heater, which is a must-have for travellers staying in Aswan during winter. Breakfast is available without added cost upon request, it’s simple but it gets the job done. And it really is the local assortment of breakfast food, what more can you ask for with such affordable rates? A final shoutout to the owner, Abdo, very approachable man that will ensure you have a great stay in Aswan with that touch of Nubian hospitality. I was very grateful that he offered a lift to the airport at a reasonable price, which allowed us to avoid having to haggle with taxi drivers offering ridiculous rates for transport to the airport. If you’re looking for something affordable, good, and authentic, look no further.
• Antonio (10/5): Com Aswan no coração. - Fui a Assuão para visitar Abu Symbel, o templo Philae, o lindíssimo cenário do Nilo a montante e a jusante da barragem e tudo me encantou. Não esperava era fazer um novo amigo. Abdo tem uma modesta residencial, numa casa Nubia num bairro popular à saida de Assuão para a barragem. Do terraço onde se toma o pequeno almoço vê -se o rio. Tudo simples neste alojamento, mas nenhum hotel nos recebe como Abdo , a sua simpatia não tem igual. Organizou a nossa excursão a Abu Symbel e foi perguntando se tudo corria bem. Organizou a descida do Nilo em felluca, que foi um deslumbramento. Visitamos Kom Ombo e as pedreiras de Gebel el Silsiba. Como o vento era pouco não chegamos ao nosso destino Edfu e Esna. Então Abdo organizou a viagem de carro no quarto dia para visitarmos Edfu e chegarmos a Luxor como previsto. Fe-lo pessoalmente e um tratamento assim marcou-me profundamente. Não há recompensa maior do que uma nova amizade. Uma palavra para o capitão da nossa embarcação - felluca- Ahmed é a pessoa mais gentil e cozinheiro de eleição. Visitem o seu restaurante na ilha Elefantina o Moon Shadow e façam uma excursão de felluca no rio ao seu comando, com a felluca do Mohamed (primo do Abdo) ou da empresa "My dream Nile felluca". Serão momentos inesquecíveis da vossa viagem. Não há nada a dizer de negativo quando somos recebidos como família.

• Suyeon (10/5): - 최고의 직원들이었어요 👍👍 어려운 부탁에도 흔쾌히 도와주시고, 너무 친절하심 이집트는 어딜가든 노후화되어있는데, 리모델링해서 깔끔한 편이었어요 가성비도 좋음 시내랑은 조금 떨어져있지만 조용하고 좋았습니다
• José (10/5): j'y retournerais SANS AUCUNE HESITATION - Tout d'abord, la gentillesse de notre hôte qui a tout fait pour nous accueillir et allez nous cher cher de la nourriture car il était tard, le petit déjeuner copieux et très bon avec une vue a vous couper le souffle. Il n'y a rien a redire sauf une chose : Si vous allez a ASSOUAN allez y sans souci l'hôte est d'une très grande gentillesse, toujours disponible et tout le confort comme chez soi. RIEN tout était parfait même le prix car cela vaut bien plus que le prix demandé.
• Brian Aarón León (10/5): - It was very peaceful to stay with them, it's a little far from the main avenues so its not in a touristy area, the owner and the staff people were the most lovely, they were so polite and helpful, amazing... and it was the only place in Egypt where the internet was running perfectly. I recommend staying with them eyes closed. It's a nice experience for me.
• Sirirat (10/5): -
• EUN YEONG (10/5): - 밤늦게 아스완에 도착했는데 12시 넘어서 체크인도 해주시고 공항에서 거리가 좀 있지만 후회없는 선택이에요 루프탑 뷰가 예쁘고 거기서 먹는 조식도 간단하지만 맛있습니다! 무엇보다 직원들이 넘 친절해요 체크아웃하고 포트까지 태워주시기까지 .. 가성비 최고 추천입니다 :)
• Ní Weza (10/5): - Abdo é muito gentil, me deu carona nos lugares que eu precisava ir, organizou um passeio ao templo de Philae à noite para que eu pudesse ir e se prontificou a pedir comida em domicílio, o que ajudou muito. O café da manhã é muito bom! Só achei o piso do banheiro meio escorregadio, conversei com o Abdo sobre isso e ele se comprometeu a fazer as mudanças necessárias.
• Sirotina (2/5): - Нас встретил молодой египтянин, который говорил по-английски. Старался нам все объяснить и показать дом. Довольно большая комната с арочным кирпичным потолком и двумя кроватями на бетонных подиумах. Также не страшная душевая. Мы были единственными постояльцами. Это скорее не гостевой дом, а ночлежка. Удивительно, что букинг не проверяет такие вещи. Фотографии не соответствуют действительности. Перед домом мусор и свалка кирпичей. Река видна совсем немного с террасы второго этажа. На полу нет никакого покрытия, только песок. Имейте в виду, что в номерах вообще нет окон. Район и место выглядят небезопасно. Постоянно входили и выходили какие-то люди. Наверное, персонал. Двое их них остались спать прямо в фойе. Для европейского туриста такой вариант мало вероятно, что может подойти. Но главное, соотношение цены и качества. Ночь на двоих стоила 63$. Нам кажется, самая максимальная цена для всей этой роскоши 20$. Брать такую цену просто неприлично. Завтрака не было. Правда, с нами накануне обсуждали, чего бы мы хотели, но утренняя трапеза так и не состоялась. Мы уезжали в 7 утра, о чем предупреждали, но нам сказали, что это не время для завтрака, и что он с 8 до 10 утра. Остановиться здесь можно в крайнем случае на одну ночь, если у вас транзит через Асуан и в случае, если владельцы снизят цену хотя бы вдвое
• Yosuke (10/5): -
• Arianna (10/5): -
• NORI (10/5): 優しいスタッフ - 朝食が美味しかったです。車で送迎してくれて嬉しかったです。
• Tatiana (9/5): Sencillo y cómodo - El alojamiento es pequeño por lo que no hubo molestia con otros huéspedes pues tienes solo 3 habitaciones, nosotros no coincidimos con nadie más así que teníamos el piso entero para nosotros, el lugar tiene todo lo que puedes necesitar para cocinar y guardar cosas en los refrigeradores, el personal es muy amable nos empacó nuestro desayuno para llevar desde muy temprano, y en general estaban atentos a ayudar El hotel está ubicado lejos de los atractivos principales, pero lo elegimos por estar cerca al aeropuerto, tomar auto no fue difícil, pero algunos conductores pretendían cobrarnos más por quedar en una pequeña colina,
• Lorenzo (9/5): -
• Marion (10/5): -
• Drew (10/5): Clean property, helpful friendly staff, great price. - Facilities were clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful in arranging tours of Philae temple and the Nubian village, showing us local restaurants as well as helping arrange a Nile cruise.
• Marco (9/5): -
• Ömer (10/5): - Sehr netter Gastgeber. Abdulrahman und seine Freunde waren immer sehr hilfsbereit. Sie haben bei der Organisation von Touren unterstützt. Die Zimmer sind sauber und das Frühstück vollkommen ausreichend. Bei Bedarf steht ein Auto zur Verfügung. Uns wurde auch angeboten Besorgungen für uns zu übernehmen, da die Unterkunft etwas weiter vom Zentrum entfernt ist. Alles in allem sehr nette Menschen in einer angenehmen Unterkunft. Zugang zur Küche inkl. Kühlschrank sowie zu einer Waschmaschine lagen auch vor. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut. Die Unterkunft war zunächst etwas schwer zu finden, aber die Entfernung zur Innenstadt hat auch seine Vorteile. Es war abends sehr ruhig.
• Moo S. (10/5): - Owner of place is helpful. Place is good for your group of 6 and use all 3 rooms. Small and cozy. You can ask owner to buy food in city for you.
• Hyejin (10/5): 아스완에서는 번잡하고 비싼 시내보다 조용하고 가성비 좋은 이곳에서 숙박하세요! - 객실이 넓고 깨끗해요. 뜨거운 물도 콸콸 나옵니다. 무엇보다 직원이 정말 친절합니다. 추천해 준 식당도 정말 맛있었고 제 운동화가 찢어져 급히 접착제가 필요해서 구매할 수 있는 곳을 물어봤는데 심지어 사다주고 선물이라며 돈은 받지 않으셨어요. 다음날 아부심벨 투어가 있어 새벽에 체크아웃하게 되었는데 부탁하지도 않은 meal box를 챙겨주었고 픽업오기로 한 드라이버가 올 때까지 같이 있어 준 것은 물론이고 드라이버가 장소를 착각해서 통화가 필요했는데 그것도 도와 주었어요. 관광객들이 주로 머무는 시내에서 다소 먼 것은 사실입니다. 하지만 택시비가 저렴하니 차라리 여기에 숙박하면서 택시로 다니는 것이 훨씬 가성비가 좋다고 생각해요. 없어요! 심지어 위치가 시내에서 떨어져 있어서 더 조용하고 좋아요. 루프탑 풍경이 아름다웠을 것 같은데 저녁 먹고 늦게 들어가서 감상하지 못한 것이 아쉬워요.
• anais (10/5): -
• yi (10/5): -
• LAREN (8/5): - Super atentos a los mensajes de Booking, realmente se esforzaron para que estuviésemos bien acogidos.
• Rene (7/5): Moderate but okay - The room is basic but acceptable. The bathroom could use some (minor) maintenance. Unfortunately, I noticed a slight smell of smoke throughout the accommodation, including the room. It only became quiet in the accommodation after I had to raise a complaint about it around 11:00 p.m. Most of the staff are uncomfortable with English, which results in a bit clunky communication.
• Heber (10/5): Honest and hustle free stay, thank you Abdul. - Transportation was available, the neighbor owns his own boat and took us to the Philae Temple for a sunset show The only thing we didn't like was our short stay. We wish to spend more time in Aswan next time
• Rahul (9/5): Great host, good accommodation - The host Abdo was exceptionally considerate with our various requests regarding stay. Even without we requesting, he promptly packed a neat breakfast early in the morning when we started for various tours. Overall he was a very pleasant and sweet company and the accommodation was very neat and cool as host has taken care to do various things on the roof to keep the temperature cool within the home eventhough it was scorching heat outside. Nothing to complain about
• Vp (9/5): It was really good, well worth the value of money and the owner and staff made it a great since they were very very kind - The bed was very comfortable and the aircondition + fan were nicely working and cold, they also have a nice rooftop to see the sunset and nile. The guest house itself is nice and well kept and clean with the nubian village vibe The location was a little difficult for tours to get to but the owner helps with that even on last minute requests
• Paul (8/5): Very good - Good basic accommodation, relatively close to airport and they provided a shuttle service at 03.00! This was appreciated. No where to eat BUT, The host provided a shuttle to and back from a great restaurant.
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing Stay with Exceptional Service! I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel in Aswan, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The location is perfect, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making for a very relaxing stay. What truly made this stay special was the incredible staff. Omar, Abdu, Mohammed, and Yussef went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They were always attentive, kind, and ready to help with anything—from arranging tours to recommending the best local spots. Their warm hospitality made us feel truly welcome. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Aswan. The combination of great service, friendly staff, and a beautiful setting makes it a perfect choice. I will definitely be returning on my next trip!
• Özhan (10/5): I strongly recommend this place - Abdo was a super host. Nothing
• Xue (10/5): Exceptional - The landlord is very nice, smiling all the time, serving the room, the bed is very big and comfortable, and the location of the hotel is very convenient, so you can take a taxi without crossing the river.

• Tomáš (4/5): Disappointing - Welcome drink - hibiscous tea Location in dirty, unpleasant area. No water running at all - the owner said it doesn´t run already for 3 days! We had no shower, no flushing toilet, 2 bottles of water to brush the teeth - and next day flight to Cairo/ really nightmare. Through the holes in the walls you can hear everything from the street. For drive us to the airport the owner asked 500 E pounds first, then he took us (in old, dirty and damaged car) for 300 when normal price is 150/200 by UBER, depends on time. Unfriendly stay, don´t reccomend it. Never ever again.
• Flame (6/5): Pleasant -
• Yurou (10/5): Exceptional - The boss is very enthusiastic and actively responds to various needs. At the same time, a good breakfast is provided. In addition, the boss helps to contact the car and itinerary to the Abu Simbe Temple. If you have any questions, you can communicate with the boss and he will help to solve them actively. I recommend you to experience it.
• Abdelrhman (10/5): It’s a very charming place and very romantic,the decoration is all about culture ,kindness and generosity .very peaceful - The view and the staff
• Mohmed (10/5): Fantastic - Very very good experience & owner of the guest house was so good with me & other guests … I gonna come back as soon as possible to repeat this journey Nothing
• Ikram (10/5): Exceptional -
• Himanshu (10/5): This serene Nubian guesthouse, run by two brothers honoring their grandfather, offers stunning Nile views, heartfelt hos - Cleanliness and ambience Nothing
• Shu (10/5): We have experienced their lives and appreciate what we already have even more. - Abdo is a very enthusiastic and attentive host who puts great effort into taking care of his guests. He goes out of his way to help us, even personally picking us up from the airport when our flight arrived late at night. During our stay, he also provided free transportation to and from the city. We paid for him to arrange round-trip transportation to Philae Temple and Nubian Village as well, his arrangements were fantastic. If you want to experience the local lifestyle and engage in real cultural exchanges, rather than staying at a luxurious resort, this is a down-to-earth experience. I give him a 10 to encourage him to stay true to his passion always!
• Kevin (10/5): My stay at King Kaseem have been exceptionally supberb and I must say it is now my favourite place when I go to Aswan. T - The property is at a central location, very clean, and have the facilities that I needed for my comfort. The staff at the property was exceptionally excellent and if I should say hostess with the mostest No problem
• Wenyang (10/5): Exceptional - The boss is very very very good. He can speak English fluently. He drove us to many places. He offered many helps to us, like withdrawing money and recommending restaurants.
• Islam (10/5): Exceptional -
