None

The host Mr Mustafa is helpful arranging local tours or airport transport with extremely reasonable price. The room is decent for short stay and the perfect location is a plus.

On arrival the entrance is unassuming but thankfully we were met at the door, otherwise one might not have found it .

Lovely and clean. Tiled floors are welcoming. People are lovely and organised a trip to abu simbal that went smoothly. Good location and great facilities. When booking i had not intended to do laundry, but we were pleased to be able to do so. Only spent one night but we all wished we could have stayed longer as the communal areas were spacious and relaxing. The WiFi works well and so the kids were delighted.

The owner is kind, friendly, polite and heplful. Room is clean. Besides, the hostel has a good location, right at the center of the city, very convenient to walk to deck for boat over to Elephantine island, Nubian museum, Cataract Old Hotel....

This is just a general point, not specific to this property: It is worth pointing out that Egyptian towns and cities have quite a lot of ongoing construction, and that - if you chose such a super, central location- it will come with normal city noise, ( light sleepers should use earplugs, as in any city in the world!) and dusty streets! Personally, I found it better than Luxor for noise. There is some mention in reviews of one of the buildings having renovation work on some floors- but I did not have any disturbance from this. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Aswan.

Particularly noteworthy was the Owner, Mustafa 's, professionalism and help, and the welcoming nature of him and his family. There are several apartments, and you get your own bedroom with full use of the common area- bathroom,kitchen and living room. This gives opportunity to meet and chat with a wide range of nationalities in fellow guests, and exchange info etc. Mustafa can anyway give you all the info you need, as well as offer / arrange very good value trips and onwards travel. As a single female traveller, I felt especially safe and reassured. If you use the kitchen, please have respect to your flatmates to leave the place as you find it, rather than criticize because you haven't! The accommodation is, as advertised, clean, simple and characteristic, and typical of Egyptian city life. It is good value , with everything you need- for example, the only place in Egypt I found a clotheshorse and an Iron and board! The free WiFi worked better than my current 4 star hotel, but you should not expect speeds like at home- I never found that in 4 weeks in Egypt. The entrance was up a side, non-tarmac street (very normal in Egypt) , but traffic was not allowed down it, which is good. Location is so handy for shops ,souk etc, and only 5 minute walk for both the Abu Simbel pick up, and the Nile.

Located in a strategic position, it was a very pleasant stay, made perfect by the host who followed and pampered us for all the days of our stay. Mustafa is a very trustworthy and thoughtful person. Difficult to leave!

Nothing

Hostel is basic but clean. Specially Mr. Mustafa, he is very nice guy and very helpful person. He always looks after every guest. Even he took my phone call at 4 am during my Abu Zandal temple trip. He also provided the breakfast in the bag at 3 am. I liked everything

Very noisy even at midnight.

Excellent views! Wonderful host, went beyond by leaving food at the door as he knew i was doing a early morning checkout.

It was a little noisy during the night but it is a general problem in Egypt especially in the city center.

We were verry happy to meet Mustafa and his family. They were really welcoming, helpful and trustworthy people. The house was really spacious and had everything you need. It had also one of the best Wifi connections we've had in Egypt.

I won't lie, the bed was pretty hard. Egyptian bathrooms are a lot wetter due to not having shower curtains, so a shared bathroom means that you're constantly dealing a wet floor and other people's damp bathroom when you use it. If we hadn't had sim cards with data (and therefore access to googlemaps), I don't think we would have found the place. You walk up a main street until you get to an empty lot, turn down an alley, then turn into another blind alley where there is just one door - and no indication on it that it's a hostel, it looks like apartments. Overall despite pointing out these things, I consider them to be small issues (apart from maybe the bed, although it didn't bother us too much, as we were pretty tired out).

Overall a clean and homely place to stay in Aswan. The host Mustafa is a very lovely gentlemen, and we really appreciated him during our stay. We organised our trip to Abu Simbel through him, and I particularly appreciate that he gave us guidance on what we could expect when we got picked up as it was very early in the morning and easy to get confused that early. For the price, it's a great option.

Stayed in January 2024

there is a rolling blackout everyday at afternoon. Few hours we can't use Wi-Fi.

It takes 30 minutes by walk from Aswan rail station, Road condition was good, it was easy to carry my suits case. There is bathrooms in the each floor. The room was big.

Wifi was not good ... but i think internet all over Egypt was not working well those days

Although its an old building but the owner Mustafa is very helpful and makes your stay very comfortable. I booked my Abu Simbal tour through him. The rooms are well kept. We had a long talks with each other on geo politics. He wakeup at 4am to give us some snacks/food before our pickup for Abu SImbal.. very nice gesture. Pickup point for ABu Simbal is only at 1 min walking distance (near river Nile). Lot of restaurants and Food outlets in the area. I came through TRAIN from cairo, the hostel is 15~20 min walk from the station. Also Mustafa guided well how to go Abu Simbal to Luxor using micro bus (in only 65 EGP)

Clean room. Great location in heart of Aswan and near Elephantine Island ferry. Owner made me a special herbal tea to help with my cold.

Stayed in January 2024

Just that it was a tiny bit hard to notice when looking for it because there isn’t any sign but the hostel name is written just outside the door up a little higher

The homiest stay where you’re comfortable from the moment you walk in. The staff are so friendly and accommodating to you. You get the most handy and well thought out welcome message upon booking which is filled with tips and tricks. Rooms are great and a shared bathroom that is super clean.

Mustafah was a truly special human being. He treated us very well, like family, and he helped us with everything we possibly needed. Everything was modest but extremely clean and we were very comfortable. What the hostel lacks in luxury or decoration is more than amply compensated by the honesty, kindness and professionalism of Mustafah and his staff. Definitely a place to go back to.

Stayed in January 2024

Highly recommend to stay here! Mustafa is a super nice, polite, well-educated and hospitable host, plus he organized us a tour to Abu Simbel. A clean room and bathroom, good price for such comfort. Thank you!

Booking should introduce some kind of reward for this kind of host. I got all the information I needed about where to go how much time I need and how to use a local taxi app, and all information were efficient and accurate. Accomodation was value high over money. Also I have never been treated in such manner. Many thanks Mustafa and best wishes.
