Very spacious. Personal light and sockets. Easy access ladder to top bunk and privacy curtain. Nothing has been omitted.

The hotel is in a privileged location, with stunning views of the Nile and direct access down a set of stairs. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, perfect to relax. The room was excellent: spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated. Asmaa, the owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She also cooks wonderfully – if you’re lucky enough to try her traditional homemade food, you’ll truly enjoy it. The breakfasts were fantastic too, and one morning she even prepared a takeaway breakfast for our excursion. I absolutely recommend this place and would love to stay here again

The location is excellent—quiet, safe, and close to everything in Abu Dhabi. It felt like a very homely place to relax after a busy day.

Breakfast is typical Egyptian and really keeps you from getting hungry for the rest of the day. The place was clean, and we had Aircon. What makes this place exceptional is the owner. He gave us many tips for our further travels backpacking around Egypt. Also, they don't rip you off on water here! Buy your water there, everywhere else they see you are a tourist and you will pay 5 times the price.

David hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Aswan. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. Everything was great. This was the best deal for accommodation in my life and I traveled in 37 countries so far. For the very affordable price I was even surprised by a packed breakfast for my flight. The room was very clean and I could check in very early. Also there was beer available at the hostel for a very low price which is rare in Egypt.
