Aswan Hotel Guide - Famine Stela hotels in Aswan, Egypt.

"Very beautiful hotel, staff are very kind and accommodating. The food is absolutely delicious. It should be noted, however, that from Aswan airport to the property will run you 900-950 EGP as of April 2026. The property is located at the top of a mountain and is very difficult to get to, and taxi drivers/hotel shuttle take advantage of this. It was not a nice surprise after getting off the plane and trying to find a taxi for over an hour. Hotel is very nice, but I would recommend they fix the showers to not leak so much water. There are also quite a number of birds which make the balconies dirty, which is unavoidable unfortunately. Overall, if this is what you are looking for, considering the isolated area, beautiful scenery, and price, it was a nice experience. "

"This was the cleanest & friendliest hotel we had in two week in Egypt. Some of the bigger hotels in the bigger cities should take note of the exceptional cleaning standards here. All of the staff were very lovely and helpful - excellent Engligh. Organising a car to the airport was a breeze. And we had a delicious meal in the restaurant onsite. Not many people would consider a night on the Westbank in Aswan - but I would highly recommend it. "

"The staff were exceptionally polite, friendly and attentive, always going out of their way to ensure guests felt comfortable. A great example of this was when they kindly prepared a packed breakfast for us as we had to leave at 4am for the Abu Simbel tour. The food was excellent, with both breakfast and dinner offering a wide variety of delicious options, much of it traditionally cooked in tagine pots. The hotel also stands out for its eco friendly approach, using solar energy to provide hot water. Located in a traditional Nubian village, the hotel offers a genuinely authentic atmosphere. The area is filled with stalls selling local crafts, souvenirs and spices, and it felt incredibly safe, with many vendors even leaving their goods outside overnight highlighting the safety and honesty of the local people. "

"Wonderful location and good service. But rooms should be cleaner."

"AC in rooms was efficient, so was the hot water and bathroom. Room cleanliness was adequate. Bathroom amenities may be improved with a few more hooks. Breakfast could be enhanced with local lava beans and bread or mollusks and local cheeses. The cold cut in breakfast menu is a waste. Otherwise omelettes were tasty"

"Great staff, the hotel is a short drive from all ppints of interest. I want to especially thank Reham from the concierge, she was excellent and had great communication. She made the stay very smooth and relaxed. "

"Excellent typical Hotel located on the Nile. If you want to stay quite and away from Aswan City center, this is the place to be. Food very nice"

"We had a wonderful stay at Kato Waidi Nubian House. The staff were incredibly polite, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They arranged all our transportation smoothly and made our stay completely stress-free. The traditional grilled dinner was excellent and felt very authentic. We highly recommend staying a couple of days to experience and explore the more traditional side of Nubian life."

" The shape of the guesthouse is quite special and the view is wonderful on the rooftop The staff is friendly and helpful and honest"
