For those who are looking for relaxing quiet place in Aswan, I can strongly recommend this guest house, managed by Omar – Wonderful host!! 1) Hospitality Omar is a man who really cares about the guest, provides wide range of service based on our requests, which was extremely helpful. (late night boat arrival, early morning transportation/sandwich, etc.) The outstanding uniqueness is - He never pushed his own desire to us, he just quickly supported us, when we faced some issues. For a Foreigner, this may be a very rare communication experience in Egypt. (Negotiating with the local people sometimes happen to be very stressful..) 2) Delicious Omar is an excellent cook, his cuisine shows a great local atmosphere. Relaxing breakfast and dinner (option) on the roof top was something which added high value to our vacation. 3) Relaxing Isolated island from the city, quiet atmosphere, warm Nubian people, Ferry on the Nile river experience, etc, great place to relax. (hopefully without wifi – connection was perfect)

The authenticity of the house. The staff are very welcoming and friendly, very accommodating. The location is in the heart of Nubian Village. The best food we ever tasted in the restaurant. The best price quality. The best sunrise.

Location: Quiet local neighborhood with kids playing on the street around sunset. The house overlooks the Nile. The square in front, flanked by two mosques, has direct access to the river with a small beach for swimming and boat pickups / dropoffs. The main riverside promenade is within 10 minutes walk. There is a proper Carrefour supermarket and ATMs (in the lobby of the Old Cataract hotel next door) on the way. To me, the area felt much nicer and more authentic than Elephantine island. House: Just renovated, the cleanest I've seen in Egypt (especially the kitchen and bathroom). I stayed in a double, which had the necessary amenities. The rooftop is available with pretty sunset views (see attached pic) and a nice chill area, best enjoyed with a tea. Host: Really helpful, English and Spanish speaking, very responsive, with lots of practical travel experience and great recommendations, especially about navigating the local particularities on a budget.

The atmosphere was top. Especially due to the amazing terrace overlooking the Nile where all travelers gathered at any time of the day, helping socializing and making new friends. Youc an even jump into the Nile for a swim, or go kayaking. Ghandi the owner knows a lot about the area and the attractions and can tell you the real prices of things and help you arranging whatever you know.

This place was a good surprise! David is so kind and helpful. He is fast to answer my questions abiut anything, but didn't try at all to push any tour or something like this (what is amazing in Egypt). The place is simple, but very clean. And he even provides simple breakfast, dinner and even laundry. Good hot shower. There is a nice rooptop where you can chill and have your meals. It is impressive how he can provide such a good service for a such low price. The location is a bit far from the touristic center, but super easy to get by local van (4egp) or tuktuk - for us, it was a plus also, we felt better in a non-touristic neighborhood

I was traveling solo in Egypt and I decided to book a hostel rather than a hotel. Wanees Hostel was amazing, great facilities, the staff is very friendly and helpful when I needed them. They are also very responsive via Whatsapp in everything I was asking for anytime during the day - even late in the night to request for a wake up alarm. I totally recommend it and it's worth it even for small groups, solo travelers or even group trips. You are in the heart of the downtown city centre. Despite the fact that the entrance of the building in the first look may put you second thoughts just go uptairs and you will get used to it. Super friendly the guys there

The place is amazing, a fantastic location that is unparalleled in all of Aswan. The service is excellent. The reception is more than wonderful. The owner of the house pays attention to all the details. There is also a tuk-tuk in the hotel that you can use to take to the main street. I will come back again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They gave me plenty of recommendations and did not overcharge for water (like many hostels and hotels do). The area felt safe as staff as well as locals from the village would assist if need be.

Property is in a quiet area of Aswan, away from the noisy city. Crossing the street it has an exclusive area to swim into the Nile river or do some kayaking, which are rented for a cheap price. They also offer water and soft drinks and a small breakfast included. You can easily spend many days relaxing in the hostel, without even leaving to do attractions.

Great owner who was very helpful, the room was nice, and I loved the view from the rooftop! The hostel is on the island and is very easy and cheap to reach by public ferry (takes 5mins). Walking around the island is also fun. Check out King Jamaica for some good food. :)
