the bathroom flooded when we tried to shower and leak into the room, but can control easy if you have a towel. far from the centre / train, but taxis are cheap

we had a short but nice stay, the room is exactly what you pay for and has all the facilities that you need to spend some lovely days in Aswan.

Obviously you have to adapt, it's not a 5 star hotel! But it's an experience I wouldn't pass up

David is a perfect host, very kind and helpful, he advised us where to go to eat nearby (Little Africa is a gem 🤩). We really had fun and got to experience the life of the Egyptians.

The internet upload speeds were very slow - very difficult to post videos to social media. No AC in the room, but I knew that coming in.

I loved how David was so helpful to foreigners. He treated us like his actual guests - letting us know of the actual local prices and helping us find the best deals in the most honest way possible. He would go the extra mile to make sure we got on the right mini bus and the taxi was taking us to the correct place. I would come back to his hostel for this hospitality alone.

The rooms are kinda not that great, bed was squeaky, room is extremely small and the bathroom had no soap.

David was extremely hospitable and they arranged good trips for me for a fair amount of money.

Nice place with David taking good good care of its guest. Giving advices and nice city tour. I recommend it!

Bathroom is too small and the fan was noisy. Mattress could have been more comfortable. Size of the room was a bit small. However, it was good value for money. It's not a five star hotel but as David mentions it's a five hearts place.

The warm hospitality from David. Seamless experience of visiting Abu Simbel. Value for money.

It's a hostal, don't expect luxorios.

Mr David is the best Aswan host by far away. He help me with the best ways to move to the different temples like Kom Ombo, Philae, Delfus. Also you can book with him tour trips to Abu Simbel.

I was so happy to find something so affordable last minute in Aswan. I was pleased with friendliness and how helpful the young man at the reception was when he arrived late in the evening. Also his care about our “take out” breakfast when we were leaving so early in the morning to go to Abu Simble for a day trip. A lot of privacy where the room was. Lots of space in the whole area of the building.

It’s a bit far from downtown but plenty of shops and places to eat around, and much cheaper

Attention by the owner. Managed most of my tours and provided lots of good information. Packed breakfast when travelling early.

David was a wonderful host, who was super helpful and responsive. The Abu Simbel tour organized via David was spectacular. The value for money of this hostel is amazing, clean rooms and washrooms.

I do not have much to complain because again, it is a cheap place. We had a situation with the water and they offered alternatives.

The hotel is quite cheap, so, you get what you paid for. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is relatively good, not in the center but kind of half way to Marina and the center. The room is small and has a private bathroom which is good. They offer breakfast, but, again, don’t expect much because of the hotel price. For the tour to Abu Simbel that you have to be up early (4:00 am)they give you the prep breakfast. There are many local shops around were you do groceries as a local!!! We did not see good restaurants around, so, we are street food. David was always available to help.

David was very kind. We woke up at 4 am to go to abu simbel and he was waiting us with the breakfast to go. He gave us information about transportation as well. The place very quiet, it has a common kitchen and shared toilet.

The only thing that bothered me is that I couldn't sleep at night because of the broken electronic wall fan made a click noise every 10 seconds and prevented me from sleep🥲

The staff and owner are very nice plus you get breakfast for free! For this price absolutely amazing!

The common space/living room could be more inviting and would be closed sometimes- it would be nice to have communal space to meet fellow travelers.

David and his wife were amazing hosts- always ready to help! Basic breakfast was included in the courtyard, and it was a nice way to meet other guests.

Breakfast wasn't tasty.

David is a great host and a great person to help you plan your stay or potential things to do. He is a man of integrity and will be an encouragement to speak with about life and travel.
