Hotels With Wi-Fi in Aswan Governorate, Egypt

The location is excellent, right on the Nile River. However, the rooms are quite small. The breakfast restaurant was good, offering outdoor seating right by the Nile to enjoy your meal. A ferry to Elephantine Island is conveniently located right next to the hotel, which was very handy.

1. The hotel is new, and the staff is very friendly. They don't ask for tips, but we gave them a £50 tip because they were so friendly. 2. The room was spacious, with a view of the Nile. Compared to the rooms at the Old Falls, which are over £3,000, the rooms over £3,000 are just plain shabby. 3. The breakfast was good, but we didn't have time to eat. They packed it for us when we left at 4:00 AM. 4. It's a bit remote, so after taking a taxi, you have to walk a bit on a dirt road.

This is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village. First of all, you have to be able to tolerate: 1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel. 2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide). 3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it. 4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel. 5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person... What did we get here? 1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am. 2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic. 3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic. 4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles. 5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay.

After reading the mixed reviews online, I decided to book the hotel after some consideration. The experience wasn't as I'd feared. I called ahead and the hotel sent a car to pick me up at the airport on time with a sign (20 dollars), which was about the same as a taxi, but saved me a lot of hassle. The hotel was newly renovated, the rooms were spacious, the air conditioning was powerful, the facilities were good, and the rooms were clean. This is a rooftop guesthouse with a small pool and direct access to a large terrace, similar to the Basma Hotel below. Breakfast is served in a restaurant with stairs down to the main floor. There's a wide variety of dishes, but it's a standard European breakfast, which Chinese people might not be used to. If it weren't for the intense sun during the day, it would be quite relaxing to just lie outside. The river views were great morning and evening. The hotel staff were very polite. Although the language barrier was a bit high (my English was poor), they were always helpful with any requests. In the evening, they even offered welcome fruit, wine, and snacks. When I arrived, they also offered me wine and drinks while I was relaxing on the terrace. For the price, it felt like excellent value. I don't get this kind of service in China at this price.

The breakfast was too perfunctory. Although it is a new hotel in Aswan, don't have too high expectations. There is no parking lot in the hotel, and it was scratched when I parked on the roadside.

The food was just okay, nothing to write home about. However, the service was incredibly attentive. Compared to the more professional, sometimes formal, friendliness you find in hotels in Europe, the US, or even China, the staff at the Old Cataract Hotel were genuinely warmer and more enthusiastic. The views were absolutely breathtaking. The moment I stepped onto the balcony from my room and saw the Nile, it made the entire stay worthwhile. Personally, I feel that simply unwinding at the Old Cataract for a day is the most rewarding experience Aswan offers. Honestly, places like Philae Temple and the Unfinished Obelisk were just alright; the real grandeur of temples is in Luxor, and obelisks are mainly just photo ops. The Nubian Village, for me, was quite ordinary, but that's down to personal preference. While Abu Simbel isn't strictly an Aswan attraction (so I won't go into detail about it here), it's definitely still worth seeing. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel. If you're planning to spend a night in Aswan, it's an absolute must-stay. However, if you're not staying here, you might actually consider skipping an overnight stay in Aswan altogether. You could visit Abu Simbel, then head directly to Luxor, perhaps just stopping briefly in Aswan during the day.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! First of all it is like a staying with your family far from home, in a very tourist welcoming area in general but also the hotel. All Nubian people are welcoming and honest; especially if you are coming from somewhere other than Egypt you will feel refreshed getting rid of bargaining. Hotel arranged an Abu Simbel transportation (which was 3 hours away)with lunch box for us early in the morning at 04:00 am we came back around 1 pm and take a tour to Philae Temple then came back to hotel (which was our cozy home) and Ahmed took us to village as a local, guided as and provided fair prices, we experienced their culture seeing the magnificently painted surroundings also jumping in local houses with tortoise and crocodiles, and they have provided us transportation to Aswan Train Station. I even felt sad because of leaving a place with full of brothers. Thanks to Ahmed (both), Ms Mai, Mohammed and Islam. It was an amazing experience, you shall not say i’ve visited Egypt before seeing Nubian Village.

Everything was great – the facilities are brand new, the service was excellent, and it was very quiet. The only minor issue is its location, as it's quite far from the city center, about 12 kilometers away. Be prepared to pay $30 if you choose to use the hotel's car for a trip downtown.

The boss is very welcoming, the balcony has a great view, and although the luggage is heavy, the boss will help with it. He is a very nice person and highly recommends everyone to stay here!
