Hostels in Aswan

Jimmy is such a nice and calm guy. He's gentle, helpful,smart,cool,wise, I can't stop describe how nice person he is. He knows how to taking care of guests very well. When I had troubles to making travel plan he always helped me by suggesting tour or providing transport but that was no pushing at all. So it was always comfortable to talk to him. Location is perfect, middle of a big market. I stayed 4th floor and I really loved that shower there. It's hot and water pressure is very strong, hard to find this much good shower in any place.

My stay at Kashta Nubian House was nothing short of amazing. The host Omar is truly a great person. His wife is also so sweet. Omar is definitely one of the kindest people I've ever met. He made his place feel like home. He greeted me upon my arrival and provided a welcome drink. Anytime I needed anything he was available. He offered help with directions and even walked me around the village the first day that I arrived. His hospitality is top tier! I also have to highlight the amazing home cooked breakfast. Truly the best that I had while staying in Egypt! You can tell that he truly enjoys being a host and ensuring guest get the best experience will staying in Aswan!

Really great modern hostel accommodation, very thoughtfully set up with cozy common room, soft lighting and outlets by every bed. Thoroughly clean and well located near Carrefour and restaurants. The owner was extremely helpful, communicative and diligent in arranging things on my behalf. Great vibes, thank you Nia!

My family and I had an amazing time at Doroka Nubian House. I would give it a million stars if I could and would recommend the stay to anyone for their time in Aswan. Just a small drive away from the Aswan rail station and market lays Doroka Nubian House with Nubian style brick housing. It’s in a very quiet part of town with an almost private view of the Nile. The local market also sells basic necessities and trinkets which made our stay memorable. Even if it’s not your first time in Aswan, I would highly recommend a stay at Doroka Nubian House. Shukran!

We had an amazing time staying at Chams House! My family (3 people) and I stayed for 3 nights. They greeted us with a fruit basket and lemon mint juice, which was such a thoughtful surprise! The house was super clean, spacious, and very comfortable, and the family made us feel at home the entire time. Since we had a lot of luggage, they arranged a microbus to pick us up from the train station, which made things much easier. At first, we were a bit unsure about the location, but the family helped us plan a great program for the 3 days, taking care of every little detail. A big delicious breakfast was waiting for us every morning. We also asked for a homemade traditional dinner, and they cooked an amazing meal for us. The family was so friendly and kind—we had wonderful conversations with them, and they were some of the nicest and most humble people we met in Egypt. They even called the bus station to help us with an issue we had with our bus to Hurghada. The wifi was surprisingly great, I was able to work the whole time freely. But the highlight for us was how authentic and local the whole experience felt. It was so different from anything else we saw in Egypt, and being immersed in the Nubian culture was unforgettable. The islands were beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the Nubian massage my mom, aunt, and I got in the guest house was amazing! They even let us check out late, since our next bus was untill 3pm. We absolutely loved our time at Chams House and would recommend it to everyone. Don’t think twice— I'm sure you’ll love it as much as we did! Thank you to Mr Chams, Mrs Bertuda, Khetamy and the cutest little Anas, you all made us feel at home.

David and his wife arranged a very pleasant 4-day tour experience for us. He picked us up at the Aswan Airport, and we did site-seeing all day after that. We were pretty exhausted by the time that we got to his hostel. Shower spray bath was good, and the bed was comfortable. Very unusual pillow, but we coped. We left very early in the morning to begin the remainder of our tour by riverboat ending in Luxor. David arranged everything.

Good

I loved that the hostel is remote and in a super quiet place. They have a menu and they can make special requests too, like vegetarian food in my case. The owner was very helpful and assisted organising a last minute boat trip on the Nile to the Nubian Village - which I highly recommend. I've done it with a motorboat, and it was magical. I wish I could have spent more days here.
