Guest Reviews
- Amar (8/5): would love to go back - The staff was very attentive and excellent at servICe, always available and very helpful.
- Ikram (10/5): - Personnel à l'écoute et au petits soins. Le propriétaire a tout fait pour que notre séjour se passe à merveilles. Il nous a arrangé pour les horaires d'arrivée, il nous a trouvé un taxi pour aller à Abu Simbel. La communication était fluide et rapide.
Oum Mekka a été gentil et à notre service. On garde un super souvenir de notre séjour.
Les chambres étaient très propose et fonctionnelles. Il y a tout ce dont on a besoin. La localisation est top car juste à cote de l'embarcadère. Le rooftop permet d'observer un magnifique coucher du soleil. On recommande.
- Bisuke K (9/5): Quiet Aswan night on a small island of the Neil river - This guesthouse is located in the Elephantine island and so one can enjoy the wide city view from its roof balcony. Very close to the public ferry boat dock, but one needs to walk up a small/short slope to reach the house, and then climb its stairs a little with your suitcases to your room. Kindly, however, the house owner helped us carry the suitcase upstairs. Tours of Aswan and to the Abu Simbel shrine can be purchased from the house owner. I am not sure whether its price is reasonable or not, and so one probably needs to negotiate the price with him. If you are not good at negotiation, this sale may be unnecessary.
- jianqing (10/5): 舒适安全 - 非常好 没有
- lydie (10/5): Calme - Le calme de l’île éléphantine
L’hôte est très à l’écoute et nous a trouvé un chauffeur vraiment exceptionnel pour faire nos différentes excursions Pas de fenêtre pouvant être ouverte dans la chambre
- Hang (10/5): Convenient and comfortable, with great value for money - Ahmed is a very kind and helpful host. Every morning he thoughtfully prepared breakfast according to our schedule, which made our stay very comfortable. The hotel is located right next to the south ferry dock on Elephantine Island, only about a one-minute walk away. The ferry is very convenient — it takes just two or three minutes to reach the other side of the river and there is usually no long wait for departure.
In fact, the residents of Elephantine Island feel very welcoming and friendly, and they are not overly eager to sell things to visitors. Staying here felt relaxed and safe, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
- FOTIOS (8/5): - Η θέα , το καλό πρωινό, ο ευχάριστος ιδιοκτήτης. Δύσκολα το βρίσκεις διότι δεν έχει κάποια ταμπέλα...το μπάνιο πολύ μικρό για έναν μεγαλόσωμο .
- SHU (10/5): - 房东人超级好,非常热情,我们因为一早要去阿布辛贝,他提前为我们准备了早餐,并且是免费的。房屋位置也很好,就在象岛码头边上,坐船过来就到了,下次如果有机会,我还会来住 No
- Jiong (10/5): great value, quiet location - The location is great. It is on an island and is close to ferry, so easy to get in/out. Very quiet, and comfortable beds. Easy access to convenient store and restaraunts on the island.
- JUNG (10/5): - 당신이 혼자 여행하면서 도움이 필요하다면 꼭 여기에 머물러 보세요. 호스트가 진심으로 당신을 도와 줄 겁니다. 호스트 아흐메드는 진심으로 여러분을 도와 줄거에요! 없어요
- yamamoto (10/5): god - 店主アハムドさんがすごいいい人だった。両替もレートなしでしてくれた、バッグも預けさせてくれた、基本船は6:00〜24:00しか空いていないのだが、朝早い船と夜空港へのタクシーも手配してくれた。エジプトで一番優しかったです ありません。
- xuechun (9/5): - 早餐是望着尼罗河景,沐浴在阳光中进行的。离渡轮码头很近。
- Alexandra (10/5): Angenehme und ruhige Atmosphäre - Auf der Insel ist es wunderbar ruhig und entspannt, das Guest House war sehr komfortabel. Es finden sich auch einige sehr gute Restaurants hier.
- Chie (10/5): 眺めがいい‼︎ - オーナーのアリーが色々手配してくれます‼︎
- Michael (10/5): To be Recommended - Stayed for 7 nights so booked the large Family Room for 2 to give more space
Two floors up kitchenette on balcony to use. One floor up rooftop area. View down to South ferry.
Shower hot and efficient.
Breakfast good for the day.
Ahmed very attentive and helpful Nothing
- Wong (8/5): - 民宿不错,各方面都挺新的,离码头也近
- Mario (8/5): -
- Roc (10/5): - 早餐不错,老板热情,卫生干净!
- Marco (10/5): Grazie ad Ahmed e a tutto lo staff!! - ottima posizione sull'isola Elefantina, vicino al traghetto per il centro di Assuan. Staff sempre gentile, professionale ed accogliente. Colazione buona ma migliorabile ;-) Due terrazze (di cui una con angolo cottura libero) con vista sul Nilo. Distante dal traffico del centro di Assuan, consigliatissima!!!
- Edward (10/5): - Good location, close to the ferry dock. The property has a terrace and a roof top with great views over the river. Ahmed was helpful in booking a tour and transport to Luxor. I would happily stay again.
- LIU (5/5): -
- 阿涅斯 (10/5): - 很好,老板人也很好,位置也很好
- Jingyi (10/5): - 位置很好,服务贴心,可以寄存行李
- Jingyi (10/5): - 位置非常好!离码头很近。服务很好,会帮忙提行李和给一些建议和帮助。我是午夜入住的,依然得到了很好的接待
- Li (5/5): Für den Preis für - ca. 35€ - zu teuer Za - Mir fällt im Nachhinein nichts ein, was mir besonders gut gefallen hat Aufgrund der präsentierten Fotos hatten wir vorab relativ positive Erwartungen. Die Realität sei doch etwas anders aus. Zimmer war sehr dunkel und kühl und klamm. Betten waren nicht sonderlich kuschelig. Frühstück war extrem einfach und nicht sonderlich appetitlich. Lager auf der Insel war doch im Nachhinein etwas abgelegen. Küche ist praktisch unbenutzbar. Terrasse nur mit ein paar Stühlen bestückt und nicht besonders einladend. Der Vermieter versucht dann doch noch weitere Dienstleistungen anzubieten. Außerdem hat uns gedrängt vor Abreise noch eine positive Bewertung abzugeben. So ein Fall ist natürlich nicht akzeptabel und geht gar nicht.
- Mikhail (8/5): -
- Mikhail (8/5): Cheap, good, no luxury - Location
Laundry Don't expect luxury, it's a simple guesthouse
- Anton (10/5): - The room was clean, the location of the hotel is near the ferry, Ahmed arranged tours for us, everything was quick and easy.
- Ferraro (10/5): - Muy buen servicio!, hermosa vista. Super recomendable.
- Dirkjan (10/5): - Beautiful view, friendly host, affordable option.
- z (10/5): - 位置不错,房主很热心
- Tamer (10/5): -
- 芽衣 (10/5): 最高! - オーナーさん含め従業員の方々みなさんとても優しく、とても良くしていただきました!
アブシンベル神殿へのツアーも安くで頼むことができ、空港の送迎も安く頼めました!
- Fahim (10/5): -
- KEUMHWA (10/5): - 항구에서 불과 2~3분 거리에 위치한 깨끗한 숙소입니다.
숙소 베란다에서 보게 되는 시시각각 바뀌는 항구의 경치는
참으로 멋집니다.
조식도 맛있고 무엇보다 호스트님은 친절하여
마중과 배웅을 해 주었읍니다.
호스트님의 소개로 아부심벨 투어와, 룩소르 까지 투어를 포함한 이동은
합리적인 가격으로 갈 수 있었읍니다.
여행객들에게 이 숙소를 적극 추천합니다.
- Xiaoli (10/5): - good!
- Tara (7/5): -
- Shigeru (10/5): - 景色が最高に良かったです
アブシンベル神殿観光もお安く手配していただきました!
- Stavros (10/5): - Ahmed, the owner, went above and beyond to help us with our stay in Aswan.
- DANJING (10/5): -
- Sforza (10/5): Cozy stay on Elephantine Island - Ahmed Is a great host, genuinely interested in preparing the best experience of Aswan for you. He organized a wonderful private Felucca ride and the trip to Abu Simbel. The view from the hotel is really cool, it was a pleasure getting back there at the end of the day. Even those few things I did not like we're immediately solved so I can't really complain about anything.
- Ali Kemal (10/5): - Hotel manager helped with activities
Located close to the south ferry
- Vignesh (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay in Aswan, and this place made the experience even more special. The host was very friendly and genuine, and his local knowledge was extremely helpful. He assisted us in booking different tours and rides, often at better prices than platforms like Viator. We booked a private felucca ride just for two people, which was a great experience, and also a private motorboat ride to the Nubian village, which was very enjoyable. He was attentive, responded quickly, and gave excellent restaurant recommendations both on and off the island.
The location is on Elephantine Island, which can be reached only by ferry. The stay is very conveniently located, just a 3-minute walk from the public ferry point. Elephantine Island itself is peaceful and calm, with a small village vibe. The locals were friendly, and we felt completely relaxed—no one bothered us, which made the stay feel very safe and authentic.
The room was clean and neat, exactly as shown in the photos. It also has a small kitchen, which was useful during the stay.
One of the highlights was the amazing view. The room has a balcony overlooking the Nile, and spending time there enjoying the view was truly memorable.
Overall, a peaceful stay with a great host, beautiful views, and an authentic Aswan experience. Highly recommended.
- Eric (6/5): -
- DARIA (9/5): - Отличный гестхаус с очень хорошим соотношением цены и качества.
Всё заявленное было выполнено: чистота на высоте, расположение удобное. Открывается по-настоящему незабываемый вид на Нил — это большой плюс. Персонал всегда на связи, адекватный. Очень понравился парень, который нас встречал и помогал со всеми вопросами — милый и доброжелательный. Девушку, которая убирала, видела два раза — тоже приятная и улыбчивая.
Большое спасибо за отличные рекомендации по ресторанам и развлечениям.
- Gerard (10/5): - D abord un accueil chaleureux,
La terrasse est équipée d'une kitchenette pour café ou thé, vue magnifique sur le nil et l'autre rive, chambre propre, spacieuse, et très calme, petit déjeuner très copieux pris en terrasse au soleil
Le personnel est aux petits soins.
Nous recommandons vraiment cette adresse.
- Tom (10/5): Elephantine oasis with Nile views - Ahmed is the best - he is very helpful and deals immediately with any issues. The rooftop restaurant and balcony views over the Nile are magnificent. Very quiet also which is always good. Nothing much. Any small issues were dealt with immediately by Ahmed.
- Kati (10/5): Nagyszerű helyen lévő szállás, kiváló ár-érték aránnyal - A szállás kiváló helyen van, alig pár méterre a ferry kikötőjétől. A hajó kb 10 percenként közlekedik, így egyáltalán nem volt probléma a szigetre jutás. A házigazda nagyon kedves és figyelmes volt. Külön kérésre finom reggelit kaptunk, a reggeli időpontját a kérésünkhöz igazította. A reggelit a tetőteraszon fogyasztottuk el, ahonnan fantasztikus 360 fokos kilátás nyílik a Nílusra és a sivatagra is. A közelben, alig pár percnyi sétára, kellemes éttermek találhatók, ahol finom helyi ételeket vacsorázhattunk. A szoba kicsi volt, de tiszta, az ablak a Nílusra nyílt, ami kiváló élményt jelentett. A fürdőben minden rendben volt. Egy-két napos tartózkodásra kiváló helyszín, nagyon jó ár-érték aránnyal. Szívből ajánlom!
- Emily (8/5): Very comfortable, great and responsive staff, great location close to ferry, good breakfast -
- Ryohei (10/5): -
- YUE (8/5): Good value in general, but if you have enough budget I don’t recommend stay on the island. - It is cheap and close to ferry. The owner is friendly. It is located on island so you will need to use ferry everyday. I did not like the dirt paths leading to the hotel. you will need push suite case up to the hotel.
- Lily原味生活 (7/5): - 离码头近,干净~ 房间很小,很封闭,没有开放的窗,也没有宽裕的地方放行李~
- Gauthier (10/5): -
- Valentina (10/5): Excelente y muy tranquilo - Excelente ubicación, muy cerca de donde te deja el ferry. Tiene una terraza con vista muy hermosa. Estaba muy limpio, las camas eran cómodas, tenía aire acondicionado y ventilador. Buena conexión an internet y súper confortable y espacioso. Además Ahmed es muy dispuesto a ayudar siempre, muy amable y buena persona. Me ayudó a reservar mi paseo an Abu simbel y a gestionar mi llegada al siguiente punto de mi viaje sin problemas. Me gustó mucho el lugar y disfruté mucho mi estadía ahí. No tengo nada que criticar. Muy cómodo
- ZHINUO (10/5): - 2楼的小阳台,景观超级好,我们看了好几天的日出和日落。而且这个房子隔音非常棒,住在这里特别安静。并且洗浴很不错,浴室和卫生间特别干净,热水出的很快,下水也很通畅。床单也很干净,床单是一客一换的。而且老板人特别热情,有问必答。
- 宏 (10/5): 性价比较高,价格实惠,老板人很好,凌晨离岛去阿布辛贝也不麻烦,非常适合自由行 - 位置很好,楼顶露台景观漂亮,离渡口码头很近
- YUAN (10/5): - 房间很干净,景色很好,可以看见尼罗河
- Erika Tatiana (10/5): - La tranquilidad de la zona, la terraza superior, el hotel tiene una vista muy bonita del Nilo, la habitación tiene todo lo que uno necesita, el baño es bastante grande, uno puede a hacer uso de una nevera y pequeña cocina comunitaria. Ahmed siempre fue muy amable y servicial. Si uno necesita ayuda con el transporte entre el aeropuerto y el centro de Asuán/puerto, el hotel te ayuda a coordinar ese servicio por un costo adicional.
- xinyi (10/5): 还不错 - 住宿干净风景不错,离码头较近,民宿有露台,早上日出很漂亮,出行方便,象岛上有餐厅,有超市,周边很方便,性价比较高 很好
- Amandine (10/5): Le calme pour un très bon rapport qualité prix ! - Tout était parfait !! Ahmed a été d’un professionnalisme incroyable. Il était hyper réactif avant même notre arrivée. L'endroit est paisible et confortable. Il y a une superbe vue sur la terrasse avec le Nil qui traverse. La chambre était spacieuse, de qualité et propre. Il y avait tout le nécessaire pour 3 jours. Ahmed nous a organisé notre excursion pour Abou Simbel dans un cadre privé et sincèrement c'était parfait. On ne regrette pas du tout. Il nous a conseillé aussi des adresses où manger et on a testé, c’était délicieux. On a aussi pu laver notre linge et le lendemain tout était propre et sec. Un grand merci à Ahmed pour son accueil et son hospitalité, nous sommes ravis de notre séjour à Assouan. Rien tout était parfait !
- Sebastian (10/5): Einfach eine Ruhe oase - Schöne Lage. Sehr schön ruhig. Freundliches Personal. Immer am lachen. Sehr sauber. Der beste Raum in Ägypten bisher.

- Traveller (10/5): The best guest house in Aswan - : Very close to public ferries to Aswan. Rooms were functional, on the livelier side of Elephantine islands. Great views on the balcony for breakfast. Most importantly, staff were amazing, helpful and welcoming. They provided advice on how to get to main sites in Aswan, helped us secure good prices and booked day trip to Abu Simbel. Highly recommend this place and will definitely return! Thank you again for making our stay on Elephantine very nice and memorable , I was truly overwhelmed by the warmth and hospitality at this place. Ahmed the owner, along with his staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They arranged a car from the airport, and the driver was in touch with me well in advance of my arrival. Despite my late arrival, Ahmed prepared a delicious homemade dinner at a very reasonable price. She also organized a felucca ride on short notice, again at a fair rate.
During our conversations, I shared some stories about my family who couldn’t join me on the trip. In a beautiful and thoughtful gesture, Ahmed gave a small gift for my wife and kids — a touching example of Nubian hospitality and culture that really stayed with me.
On my first day, her son kindly accompanied me on the ferry to help me get familiar with the area — another thoughtful gesture I really appreciated. Every request I had was taken care of promptly and with genuine care.
Do note that the place is located on an island, so you'll need to take a ferry to get in and out. The service is frequent, but it’s something to be aware of when planning. Overall, an exceptional stay with an incredibly kind and generous host family.
: They arrange for me all tours around Aswan and Luxor with very reasonable prices
I will come back sure Totally satisfied
- Ahmad (10/5): Exceptional - Spotless rooms and amazing view of the Nile. The host is very helpful and accommodating. Will definitely stay again at Fadl Kato
- Georgios (10/5): Very authentic value for money stay - The view at the roof was exceptional! The location in elephantine is very good not to close but not to far from Aswan city, and Ahmed was very helpful and always with a smile! Well you cannot have it all cause you are on an island with limited facilities! You have to compromise with that
- Ana (8/5): Very good - The house is on an island, accessible only by boat. They lost my suitcase at the airport and it arrived the next day while we were on an excursion. The owner of the house kindly had to go get it on the other side of the Nile because otherwise they wouldn't have taken it to the accommodation. I was very grateful for the service.
- Elsherif (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed our stay at FADL KATO, with a beautiful location over looking the Nile, and a very accommodating host who helped us a lot by recommending restaurants and places to go to on the island and booked for us transportation to Abu Simbel and other trips.
Would really recommend the place. While the location is beautiful and we really are glad we took it, it's worth mentioning that you have to take a ferry from the main city to the island which runs from 6 AM to midnight.
- Koji (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, nice view. Hot water isnt active sometime.
- Julia (10/5): Comfortable stay with very helpful owner - The owner was very friendly and helpful, always reachable. The terrace was nice. Bathroom was big. Bed was comfortable. Near to ferry dock
- Heleen (10/5): Excellent price/quality - Very friendly owner, who can arrange everything you want. Room has everything you need, with comfortable soft beds, fan/airconditioning (if needed, not for us in February) and a good working hot shower (bathroom is small, but it works).
- Larissa (10/5): Very nice, clean, beautiful accommodation - The view is really amazing, it‘s close to the ferry to Aswan city center (about 2 min walk) but very tranquil and quiet, there are no cars on Elephantine island.
The room is big, newly renovated and very clean. The Host Ahmed is always available for any request and very hospitable. He helps with any tours you could book or anything else you might need during your stay.
I can only recommend to stay here!
- H (8/5): Staying at Elephantine island is good experience - Good location, nice views and a helpful manager There was no sign or hard to find it
- Hao (10/5): It’s a really nice quiet place. Ahmed is very helpful for arranging the trip to Abu Simbel -
- Görkem (10/5): We loved here. 10!! - WE LOVE HERE!! Ahmet toto was a great man. He is so helpful. He helped us A lot. the location of the hotel is very good. It is clean.
I recommend here. The staff was good.
- Mu (10/5): Good experience - Nice Nile view. The room was clean and Ahmed is a nice guy who showed me around. Very close to the south pier. Would recommend.
- Tamae (10/5): Nice stay! - Ahmed is very kind and owner makes good service for me. Nile view is most beautiful. And the room is very clean.
- Krutika (10/5): Exceptional - Only a couple of mins walk to the ferry which is available every 10 mins. Clean rooms and bathrooms. The view from the terrace was amazing. The owner of the property was very friendly and helpful.
- Adnan (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable and safe. The owner contacted us earlier and helped us navigate our way there. You do have . All was good for a one-night stay for 20$ per person.
- Shabeerali (10/5): Excellent stay and hospitality - Very clean and good hospitality . Good location . Very near to the ferry. Ahmed helped to get local tour and transfer to luxor
- Viktoriia (3/5): Poor - We were told that its possible to get to the island after midnight by boat but its not true. We would never book this property otherwise and we end up there during night with no hotel and hotel didnt even pick up phone knowing we are going to be there. We got boat by chance to get there. This just ruined the whole trip. Hotel on top was not worthy this price at all. We got much better for much lower price after. So don’t recommend even I rarely write bad reviews
- Manuel (10/5): Exceptional - perfect view and the owner help me for all trips and he is friendly and the hotel is very near from the ferry boat dock
- David (10/5): Perfect for us. - Súper comfortable, quiet and great view. Ahmed was super helpful to all of our stay.
- Jin (10/5): Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Aswan, especially if you want a peaceful stay with excellent s - It was a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly, always ready to help and share information about the island and its history. Their hospitality made my trip even more enjoyable.
One of the highlights was that the hotel allowed me to store my luggage overnight for free, which was very convenient and thoughtful. The room was also very clean and comfortable, meeting all my expectations.
- Zeyang (10/5): Exceptional -
