After my luggage was lost, the staff at the Old Cataract Hotel went above and beyond to help me find it. On the first night, without my suitcase, they even provided many daily necessities (double sets of t-shirts, socks, spray, and other essentials). I was truly touched. The hotel manager who greeted us told us he loves Chinese people, and he didn't just say it; he proved it with his actions! ^_^ It truly lives up to its century-old reputation; it's so impressive. It's not just the beautiful scenery but also the hotel's culture. Every staff member's smiling service and simple Chinese greetings made me feel completely at home! This trip to Egypt, I met many wonderful people, but also some terrible scammers. I also experienced EgyptAir's 100% flight delays and frequently lost passenger luggage... A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. Next time, I'll know better what to look out for.

This is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village. First of all, you have to be able to tolerate: 1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel. 2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide). 3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it. 4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel. 5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person... What did we get here? 1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am. 2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic. 3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic. 4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles. 5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay.

It’s one of if not the best hotel in Aswan, situated in an exclusive island with an amazing view of the Nile and Nubian village. The staff was super comforting and lovely. There’s a shuttle boat that runs 24 hours to the main center of Aswan. I had an incredible time here. ＜3

The scenery is beautiful. We checked in very late and took a boat to see the lights of the entire island. It was really beautiful. The room and surrounding facilities were not old. There are also many beautiful cats in the hotel restaurant. I felt relaxed as soon as I entered the island. The scenery was even more beautiful in the morning. The terrace of the room faced the Temple of Philae. I regretted that my stay was too short and I didn’t enjoy it properly. I highly recommend everyone to stay here. But please note that there is a construction site expansion nearby, so it may be noisy, but I believe the scenery will be more beautiful after the renovation. 

Facilities: The hotel is on the island, and the entire island is within the scope of the hotel. The hardware facilities are acceptable and the environment is beautiful. The seats outside the restaurant are not well maintained due to the small number of people. Hygiene: Overall hygiene is OK. But the seats outside the restaurant are relatively dirty Environment: The environment is relatively beautiful Service: The service is acceptable.

I booked it temporarily because of the change in the itinerary. Tolip is a chain of five-star hotels in Egypt. Although the decoration style and facilities are relatively old, it is already considered good in the local area. The price is also very cost-effective. There are rooms with Nile views. It is only a one-minute walk away. It is very good.

A very good value hotel! Upon check-in, they consider the dryness of guests and offer three drinks: one with isatis root, one with plum flavor, and one with a sweet and sour flavor that's incredibly delicious. After check-in, a driver will drive you to your room. I had originally thought that the nicer hotels in Aswan were expensive, so I planned to book a more modest hotel to make do with my visit to Abu Simbel the next day. However, this hotel far exceeded my expectations. The scenery is stunning, with direct views of the Nile. Since we had to go to Abu Simbel early that morning and couldn't have breakfast, the front desk staff prepared a takeout breakfast for us. The only downside is that it's about a 20-minute drive from the city center.

At 10:30 pm on the night I arrived, the hotel said the air conditioning on the first floor was broken and strongly suggested I move to the river view room in the executive hotel on the hillside. The view was indeed nice, but the room facilities were average. The upstairs corridor was not air-conditioned and was extremely hot. When I entered the room, the floor was greasy. I turned on the air conditioning all night on the first night and it was still hot. The breakfast was average. I don't want to stay again.

We stay 2 nights here to go to Abu Simbel temple. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good experience with day trip and tour with the help from hotel.

We really loved this beautiful, authentic hotel. The manager was wonderful and assisted us with everything we needed. He arranged a transfer to the Abu Simbel Temple. Since we had a very early departure, he kindly provided us with a takeaway breakfast and also prepared it for us an hour earlier on the day of our flight. We are very grateful for this. About the hotel: This is a historic building that belonged to a Nubian family. In the 1960s, it was converted into a hotel. The restaurant in the lounge area offers a wonderful view of the Nile. Across the street is a path lined with souvenir shops. We also had a delicious dinner at the hotel restaurant. The most important thing is the quiet room. You can relax and sleep wonderfully. We initially stayed in a very cozy and lovely two-story room (bed on the second floor, bath downstairs), but it was very hot and stuffy at night, and the air conditioner vibrated loudly when running, making it difficult to sleep, so we had to turn it off that night. We then moved to another room, which consisted of two areas—a lobby and a bedroom. It was very spacious and cool. In the area, you can rent a kayak or boat, buy a boat ticket, cruise down the Nile, visit a crocodile farm, or go camel riding. Overall, we really enjoyed it. It was one of the few places where it was truly cozy, peaceful, and quiet. We want to come back again.
