    Very minor is that there's no kettle in the room but they have tea and coffee facilities and make an awesome hot chocolate.

    Maghrahbi's Guest House was a little oasis in the chaos of Egypt. It was heaven to stay at and the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. Even the trip across the Nile to get to and from it was a pleasure. Breakfast was good.There is a restaurant on site that has a set menu that you can order from. A small mini mart for snacks is a 5 minute walk.

    A little peaceful resort across from the busy side of Aswan

    Breakfast is typical Egyptian fare so blame the culture, not the guesthouse. On the plus side, it is served in an open-air area with a beautiful view and the amount is generous! For people looking for fancy facilities and touristy surroundings, this is not your place.

    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.

    Bathroom towels could be slightly larger perhaps?

    Both evening meal and breakfast were excellent. Generous portions- two tilapia fish each in the evening! Hossam was so friendly, cheerful, generous and helpful. He supplied me with multiple hot lemon and honey drinks to soothe my unfortunate throat infection and helped with our heavy luggage. He also happily transported us to the other side of the river at the end of our stay. Such a lovely host and accommodation! Thank you.

    Already very good

    Finishing two nights stay at Maghrabi’s, we genuinely think this must be our best time in Aswan, or maybe in the whole Egypt! The rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. Hot water is stable and the beds are very comfortable. The garden (the dining area) is just beside the Nile, and it can be a true enjoyment to do nothing, just sitting there drinking freshly made juice or coffee in the garden. Everybody in the guesthouse was so friendly (not the “I want your tips” way of friendly, but genuinely willing to treat you nicely). The host is one of the best people we’ve ever met, always smiling, and he helped us a lot during our stay in Aswan, sending us back to the house from the East Bank even though it was late. When our driver wanted to add up price and refused to pick us up, the host negotiated with the driver for us and got the driver come to pick up us and our luggage. Btw, the juice and coffee there are really good!

    Great property

    This is the best place to stay in Aswan! We were here for 2 nights (2 adults and 3 children) and loved the guesthouse. It’s quite a magical place along the banks of the Nile facing the city in Aswan. Firstly, the people who work there are great. Very pleasant and helpful, from preparing delicious dinners to organizing a ride up the Nile. These people do it all! The owner, his family and staff could not be more caring about the guests. And importantly, very honest people. They don’t even accept tips! The hotel itself is very charming. It’s an oasis away from the grind of Aswan city life. Beautiful gardens facing the city and very nice, clean and spacious rooms. An outstanding place to stay in Aswan. Would happily return. Many thanks to the owner and his family for all their kindness.

    The location of the hotel is in the village, hard to find if follow the google map from airport(that's what we did)We recommend to go to hotel through the opposite bank by the boat, the owner will offer the location.In general it was a total fantastic experience.

    The owner is extremely good, he offered free motorboat to carry us to the other bank.And he also made us some fantastic coffee and other beverage without charge.The room was comfortable and clean.The Breakfast was good as well.We saw the.stunning Neil river view from the hotel.

    Guest house was in an island and the guest house provides complimentary pick up as well as boat rides for guests to and fro the island. Tahar & his brother can arrange tours such as felucca ride, transport to Philae temple as well as the Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Staff were also friendly.
