Guest Houses in Aswan

We enjoyed our stay at the Mango Guest House. Our room is comfortable and modern. Staff communication is excellent, from Ihab prior to arrival in planing our itinerary to the attentive service provided by Ali and Mohamed on the ground in making our rides and tour arrangements. Kudos to the team for making our visit to Aswan a pleasant one!

The host Ali is very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the hospitality. The vibe was relaxing and the food was incredible. His sister is a great cook. The beds were very comfortable. I would return!

Talaat - I believe the owner, was very accommodating and helpful The property and breakfast were just fine - what you’d expect for the price point

Being away from tourist areas in Aswan was what we wanted. The guesthouse was on the West Bank of the Nile in a peaceful, bucolic setting (farming area, cows, goats, camels, donkeys). The room (107) we had was in the new wing so good shower, AC, etc. and the ceiling built in the Nubean style. At dawn, as the sun hits, the ceiling is illuminated like the night sky. Although far away, the busy Aswan world is only a short(and free) on-demand boat ride away. So we had access to restaurants across the way. Tomb of the Nobles is walkable, but I think the guesthouse would have taken us by boat if I asked. The facilities themselves reminded me of a beach resort in the Philippines, with views to die for and easy access to the Nile. Tables and chairs scattered about for breakfast and soft drinks. Sometimes they might have other meals available but check in the morning. The best part of the experience is the staff who were friendly and welcoming: Hossam, Sayid, and the two older boys named Mohammed. Of note: we picked up virus before coming to Aswan, and started showing symptoms there. Hossam personally escorted us to the “tourist” hospital Al-germaniya and stayed for three hours with us so he could accompany us back to guesthouse. We would not have managed the bureaucratic process without him. When we gave him bakhshish/tip, he absolutely refused it. Owner Taha had arranged for taxi to airport($15), which was not a bad price. Although you can only speak with Taha over the phone, don’t hesitate to ask Hossam to speak to him if you need anything. If you’re coming into Aswan late in the day, ask to be picked up from airport because the place is not easy to find.

This is by far the place where I felt the biggest hospitality from the hosts in my stay in Egypt. We arrived late at night and they waited for us at the ferry. It's around 5 min walk from there. We had a nice view to the Nile river and the bed was good to have some rest after a long trip

The view, the little kitchen, the tranquility of the island and Ahmed was a really good host

The stay was excellent—clean and comfy, with décor and a terrace full of local character. The bathroom was a bit small, but considering the price, we were very satisfied. The host speaks excellent English and was very friendly. He prepared a hearty, freshly made breakfast according to our request time. There are several top-rated restaurants from the Aswan area on the island, all within a few minutes’ walk. However, getting off the island requires a boat ride, which comes at an extra cost, though boats are available on call. Overall, we were very pleased with the accommodation and would recommend it to anyone visiting Aswan.

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.

Manager came to collect us from the airport no problem! Really helpful, friendly staff. Big spacious bedroom suits. Tasty breakfast delivered at a time to suit you. A rustic, authentic stay.

What a wonderful place and host. Abu was firstly a friend to us and then a host. We always felt at home and welcomed and Abu was there to help us out! Abu my friend I hope my journeys will bring me back at your wonderful guest house! Mashallah 🙏🏻
