Situated in Aswan and with Aga Khan Mausoleum reachable within 22 km, Pajama Hostel Nile View features a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar. The property is around 18 km from Aswan High Dam, 8.2 km from Temple of Philae and 25 km from Tombs of the Nobles. Some units at the property have a terrace with a city view. The owner of Pajama Hostel is by far the best host I have ever met in Egypt. She truly deserves great success because she takes care of her guests so well. The hostel is excellent overall, though there is no elevator, so it requires being able to comfortably use stairs. If you’re physically able, it’s absolutely perfect. I personally need to get in shape to climb the stairs, but I would love to visit again someday. Wishing her all the best—she is an outstanding host and truly knows how to make her guests feel welcome.

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features city views and a terrace. 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
