This place was an absolute gem! Located on a serene island, you’re surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking views of the river. We stayed in a river view room, with a farm right in front of our window. Waking up to the view in the morning was truly a gift. The rooms are a beautiful homage to local Nubian heritage, with charming architectural and design touches that make you feel like you're staying in a traditional Nubian home. Yet, you also have all the comforts of a clean, well maintained air-conditioned room, which was such a perfect balance. The owner goes above and beyond to ensure that guests experience the local culture in an authentic way. It’s perfect for travelers who want to embrace the slow life and connect with the area’s heritage. He was incredibly helpful, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout our stay. Even before we arrived, he kept in touch and responded promptly to any questions we had about our booking or itinerary. He even provided us with an incredibly detailed and helpful list of dos and don’ts, along with travel suggestions for Luxor, Cairo, and Aswan! There are many activities and day trips to historical sights provided by the hotel as well, and we always felt like we were in good hands here. As a passionate traveler himself, you can tell he truly cares about giving his guests an unforgettable, authentic experience. One of the highlights of our stay was taking a refreshing dip in the Nile. It was incredibly relaxing, after a busy week full of walking around and traveling. Our favorite part of the stay was meeting the warm and welcoming locals. The owner took us to a local village on another island, where we had the chance to see traditional Nubian houses. The local kids were playing and running around outside, and it was a truly heartwarming experience to interact with them. They also have an adorable dog, Zazu, who will greet you with endless love and affection the moment you arrive! We already miss him so much!!

An amazing hotel next to the river. The room was clean and tidy. We had the number 1 room for 3 people . It was a big room with 3 windows with an amazing view (the front rooms have also a small balcony to sit outside) The breakfast was nice and the owner also suggested if one day had to leave early to prepare our breakfast for take away.

We loved everything. We traveled all over the world, but the Nubian hospitality is unparalleled. Friendly, accomodating, smiling, helpful and good-hearted. Place was clean, beds very good and the breakfast lovely. We drove 10 hours from Hurghada just to go on a crocodile trip which we very much enjoyed. We got to see the sunset from the boat with the temples on our right. Made it worth the long drive from the day before. We even got a precious gift for my mom when we left, so heart-warming. We felt sad leaving, the vibe here was so different from other parts of Egypt. We’ll be back!

If you are looking for the quietest and most wonderful place on the Nile in Aswan, do not hesitate to choose this hotel. It is much more wonderful than the pictures, with fantastic views of the Nile and the Temple of Philae on Hesa ​​Island. I would like to thank the reception staff, Nirvana, Nardine, and Andrew, for their warm welcome and attention to the guests, explaining all the details upon their arrival and providing all the facilities, especially transportation to and from the island until their departure. The level of cleanliness in the rooms and the restaurant is excellent and the quality of the food is high.

I loved everything about Kato Dool. I am so happy I decided to book with them. From the moment of arrival, I felt at home. The staff were wonderful, and so welcoming. The common area was gorgeous, looking over the Nile. My room was massive, and the towel crocodile was the cutest thing ever. (Picture below!) The room were very clean, and the balcony was just the icing on the cake. It has the perfect view of sunrise - which is worth getting up for. The food at their restaurant is delicious and one of, if not the best dinner of my trip. They even went above and beyond last minute helping arrange a driver to take us to the old monastery and temple of philae for myself and another solo traveller I had met. Then they also arranged a boat taxi for two other female travellers to make sure they made it back to their hostel safely - and they were not even staying at Kato Dool! The morning of my departure, the driver was 40 minutes late, and they were making calls and when the driver for the tour turned up in an unmarked car, they made sure he was 100% legit before I got into their vehicle. As a solo traveller, that meant so much to me. You can feel the love and pride they put into their hotel. My only regret is that I couldn't spend more time there. If I am ever back in Aswan, I will definitely be back. Thank you so much for everything. ❤️

Travelling to Egypt for the first time with our 7 year old daughter who is autistic can be challenging. The hotel and staff, especially Marvel of guest relations and Mahamud of Terrace restaurant, went beyond their way to exceed our expectations. We stayed for 1 night as suggested by travel blogs. The Old Cataract was truly magnificent, and It doesn't justify to have stayed here for a short time We are definitely coming back to the old cataract to for more days during our next visit.

The location of this hotel is unbeatable. It sits high above Lake Nasser with beautiful panoramic views, and it’s only a two-minute ride to the Abu Simbel Temple entrance. The hotel even provides free golf buggies, which made visiting the temples so easy and relaxed. The staff were absolutely wonderful, friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely looked after. Our room was spacious, spotless, and elegantly decorated ( we also got a free upgrade). The bed was extremely comfortable, and small touches like toweling robes, complimentary drinking water, and a turn-down service made it feel really special. Everything looked brand new. The covered seating area outside our room was a lovely place to sit and read while looking out over the lake, and at night we also sat out there viewing the night sky ( great place for star gazing). The infinity pool was another highlight – the perfect place to cool off and take in the incredible views across the lake. The restaurant chef came out to meet us personally and cooked a delicious evening meal, which was such a thoughtful touch. For breakfast, we ordered fresh omelettes, which went perfectly with the selection of pastries, breads, yogurt, honey, and coffee. Staying overnight rather than doing a day trip was by far the best decision we made. It gave us the chance to enjoy the temples peacefully after the day visitors had gone and to return at sunrise, which was an unforgettable experience

it’s in a very central place, down stairs you can find the market, and it’s also not far from the Nile river. the room is big, the staffs are nice, we all feel safe and comfortable here. Also the car service from this hotel is nice. The car looks new and clean, the drivers are professional and won’t take us to the unwanted shopping stores . Who I want to mention is Aladin, he has charge of reception. He is very professional and patient, even when we have some misunderstandings. On one occasion, we lost a sunglasses in the travel bus, he helped us to make a phone call with the local driver and found out a simple but perfect solution to get the glasses back very quickly. we all thanked him. In the future if I take my parents to Aswan and have a travel, I will choose Cleopatra hotel again ;)))

Was absolutely fantastic! The service and staff were incredible. The facilities were great, and the hotel itself felt very clean. It’s in a great spot, so close to Abu Simbel temple. The food was also great! We would recommend staying here especially if you’re wanting to go to the temple a couple of times. We went at about 3:30PM and saw about 3 people the whole time. At 6:30 in the morning it was a bit busier with a few tour groups there already

Aswan is less of a tourist town than Luxor or Giza, but the vibe is still there - mainly centred around the dams, Temple of Philae and short or long boat trips. However, if you stay at a guesthouse on Elephantine Island, you can find lovely hosts, good food and compelling views which together make a compelling case to spend more time here relaxing, rather than just seeing the sights.

Visit the temples in the afternoon (after 03.00pm) because the is nobody (except perhaps some extroverted sceaming chinese girls - but once they are gone). Yes, it´s hotter than in the morning and the light is not prefect. but you will have the temple for yourself and you will be able to make perfect photos from inside.

The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.

The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing. I stayed in the houseboat for 5 days with my mother. We both feel like we gained a friend in Abdu and hope to see him again one time. He is so kind and caring! Not only did he help us arrange everything in terms of tours (to Filae, Abu Simbel, a Nubian village, the botanical garden and more) and activities (Falluca sailing, Zaraha sand meditation, bird watching trip, exploring the Souk, swimming in the Nile, transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Kom Ombo and more), he also helped us with his second smaller boat to get everywhere, get local products for local prices, assimilate to the local culture by clothing and customs, cooked for us (he also made sure all food was well washed), helped us donate goods and clothes to the local school, and assisted us in getting tickets for the night train from Luxor to Caïro, ATM withdrawals and simcards). We truly think he has a heart of gold and works with honesty not soley for money. His houseboat has everything you need for an authentic stay. Our cabin was spacious enough for the two of us and had an amazing view over the Elephantine Island. The terraces was facing the beautiful botanical garden on Kitchener Island. Due to the placement of the boat you have some shade in the morning and you can enjoy the sunset in the evening. If you look for a real experience and want to dive in the culture and day to day livestyle on the Nile, the boat is definitely something for you. We are truly greatful we’ve met Abdu and can definitely recommend a stay with him on his lovely houseboat. We hope to see him again one day!

From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced not just as a guest, but as family. The warmth and genuine hospitality of the entire household created a peaceful refuge that allowed me to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what matters. I especially appreciated the loving way they cared for their children, the heartfelt conversations, and their openness to cultural exchange. The meals were nourishing, the environment was clean and safe, and the small, thoughtful gestures—like helping with errands or offering fruit—left a deep impression on me. I was also moved by their humility, sincerity, and the quiet strength with which they manage the responsibilities of life.

Aswan has a very different feel to Cairo and Luxor.

Aswan has a very different feel to Cairo and Luxor. It operates on a much slower pace. Less hassle in the markets and on the roads. The islands, especially Elephantine Island, are wonderful and unique to visit. Try Makka Restaurant by the train station for simply excellent local food.
