I really enjoyed my stay at this family-run hotel in the Nubian village. The place was clean, the family was very kind, and the location couldn’t be better — right in front of the Nile, with beautiful trees in the dining area that kept the space fresh and gave it a natural, charming atmosphere. It’s also right next to the dock where the small boats arrive, and in the center of the village, so everything is within walking distance. Just keep in mind that cars don’t go into the center, so if you arrive by car you’ll need to take a tuk-tuk for the last stretch. Also the prices for the food are not as expensive as others places such in Aswan

Kato Waidi exceeded our expectations. We were greeted with utmost warmth and friendliness. All the staff members were respectful and kind. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We booked our stay through Expedia whom which caused a huge misunderstanding but the hotel staff were so calm and professional while trying to settle the issue. Nevertheless, it did not ruin our stay but simply highlighted how amazing this hotel is. The view and ambience of the place made our stay truly magical. Thank you.

If you want to see the colourful way the Nubian people live come here. The rooms are built in the traditional style and all painted in bright colurs and spotless clean. We had a minor problem.with the power and within minutes they moved us to an upgraded room and could not apologise enough. Each room is unique. The food is basic but well cooked and cheap. Give our regards to all.the staff

Booked two rooms. One of the rooms had a thousand dead and alive bugs all over the room. And the bedding had a large stain on the sheets. When we spoke with the owner he sprayed poison in the room and said wait 2 minutes then you can go in. I told him it was unsafe to stay in the room due to the poison they sprayed which would be all over the bedding and in the air. Asked for another room and he said their was none available. We ended up having to rebook at another hotel a hour after we arrived at this hotel. Hotel refused to refund the money. Avoid booking at this hotel. Disgusting. Poor customer service.

We liked the uniqueness of this area, Nubian Village, and the colorful of the properities. We stayed for two nights. The hostel is located on the Nile river that provides scenery views of the surrounding nature. The food was good. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. The only issue, there was no internet in the room, just in the common area. Overall, the experience worths it.

Nous n'avons pas eu la chambre deluxe que nous avions réservée pour la 1ère nuit mais la chambre junior. En plus l'hôtel voulait tout de même nous la facturer. Dans la chambre, les fenêtres ne se fermaient pas entièrement. Nous donnions sur la rue et entendions les voitures, les gens, les chiens aboyer toute la nuit...nous n'avons pas dormi.

A great place along the Nile

The hotel was exactly what I wanted. Our room was comfortable and interesting, the people were lovely and helpful. The food was tasty and the view spectacular. Some of our taxi and tuktuk drivers needed help finding the correct hotel, but we were not in such a rush that it was a problem.

If you want to see another side of Egypt on your trip, spend some time in the Nubian area near Aswan to experience a different culture. The Kato Waidi Nubian guest house is rustic, colorful, and full of friendly staff and great food.

I stayed there for 6 nights with my dog. We liked the service in everyway, evereyone always took care of us. The employees are very relaxed and helpful. They also help to make tour accommodations and whatever you need really. The only thing I would change is the loud knocking doors for tours in the am, they woke me up 3 nights and was tired all day from it.

I loved everything about Kato Waidi Nubian House. It is in the heart of a Souk, as well as having access to boats to take along the Nile for various outings and sites. The hotel restaurant is outdoors and is also located on the bank of the Nile, which changes with the hour in its beauty and stillness. The food here is fantastic and very reasonably priced. The hotel is beautiful and the room and bed were comfortable and clean, colorful. The whole area is colorful and the Nubian people are laid back, kind and proud of their heritage. It was a great, great pleasure to stay here, and I will come back. I want to particularly thank Ahmed, the day manager, for his excellent listening skills, and his thoughtful responses to my questions and my desires. He arranged several outings for me, by boat and by car, as is his job, and catered the tours to my uniqueness which I am very thankful for. If you come you should consult with him and he will listen closely and appreciate you, and guide you in the right directions as well as giving you many options to choose from. He is very hospitable and a great representative of the hotel and of the people here in Aswan. I have nothing negative to say. The place was like heaven to me. Thank you Ahmed!
