    All good.

    Set on the Nile river in the Nubian village. The nicest bungalows we saw, also helpful friendly staff. Set us up with a wonderful felucca crew for 3 nights. Also a good swimming spot in front.

    The accommodation was basic but very clean and comfortable. Everything was in order.

    This cosey family managed accommodation located in a beautiful corner of Nile river side with amazing view to surrounding landscape. It also located in Nubian village - with a rich and unique culture. Food was home made and healthy, it is made freshly, very authentic and delicious. they have vegetarian options. We really enjoyed cooked breakfasts and dinners which served beside Nile. Mohammad - the first contact person was very kind and keen to help. kayaking in Nile under his supervision was unforgettable. Transport was easy to manage, with fair price.

    Nile view guesthouse and elephantine islands is an incredibly special place. The view from the guesthouse and terrace onto the Nile is beautiful, it’s peaceful, the food is delicious, the Nubian family who run it are incredibly friendly and hospitable. And to add to all of that, Mohamed will take you to the most amazing spots along the Nile for a swim, to watch the sunset/sunrise or to go birdwatching. The public ferry to get to the mainland is only a 5 min walk away and costs just 10EGP. There are no cars or roads on the island & the local people are so friendly. Highly recommended!

    I knew already beforehand, but consider that you are on an island, and moving around is complicated /limited. The hosts were very helpful in this point in particular.

    The hosts (Mostafa's family) were at all times ready to help and serve, always with a great attitude and trying their best to make you happy. For the first time in Egypt we felt welcome.

    We absolutely loved staying at this guest house. The owner and staff were all incredible to us, the food was delicious, the rooms were comfortable and the location was perfect. We did not want to leave and actually changed our flight to Cairo so we could stay one extra night. Thank you so much for having us and we will definitely be back if we come back to Egypt 🙏

    I had an amazing stay. The location is very beautiful and serene. The perfect spot to enjoy the magic of Nile river and the desert. The room was very quiet so I could rest very well. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Mohamed speaks very good english that made my stay easy and comfortable. This is a bonus as is so rare to find people that speak good english in Egypt. This is a place to come back in the future. The breakfast was very generous and super tasty. They helped me to arrange a felucca trip that I really enjoyed. Thank u guys for everything. Give the good vibes on!

    Get the kings room on top, you wont regret it. The view is stunning. The owner offers motorboat rides to the west bank or the botanical gardens as well as felucca rides. We loved our stay. Its quiet and away from the chaos of aswan. Elephantine island is a gem. The public ferry is close too.

    The location is spectacular, the views are amazing, the staff is super attentive and helpful. It was such a peaceful spot in the midst of the city. It was a dream. Even the kids took us on their boat to swim in the Nile - free of charge, no pressure on tips. We booked a tour with them and the result was very satisfactory. The fact that you need to take a little boat to reach the hotel is quite charming. Overall, a 10/10, it was our best stay in our trip.

    Location is superb, right on the Nile off of the Elephentine island with direct unobstructed views of Nile and Agha Kham mausoleum with the Aswan harbor off to the side. The Numbian village is less than 20 minutes boat ride away crossing a majestic patch of Nile rapids, rocks, vegetation. It is a Numbian family run guest house with local and native food freshly home cooked by ladies of the family and served by the Nile. Staff are super friendly, always available, smiling and warm hearted. Mostafa, Ahmad, Faris, Mohammad, Mahmoud to name a few are superb hosts.

    The room is clean and as described with beautiful views over the Nile to the West Bank. The hotel picked us up from the railway station and took us by boat to the guest house. The breakfast is good and we had a chance to try Nubian coffee. It is a 10-15 minute walk through the winding sandy paths of the Nubian village to either public ferry so it is quiet. The WiFi worked really well and there was plenty of hot water. They gave us toilet paper immediately when we found the room had no paper. We left very early and the gave us a packed breakfast.

    The guesthouse is managed by a Nubian family on their own land. The location could not be better! The Elephantine Island is perfect if you go to Asswan and the view from this specific place is breathtaking. Ahmed and his famille can arrange anything you want from a trip to Abu Simbel to a kayak tour on the Nil. Plus, the breakfast is really good and don't forget to try their Nubian tajine. I highy recommand anyone to go there and would definitely come back.

    Mostafa and his team were incredible! From flower decorations for our honeymoon to breakfast packs packed for early morning day trips which they organised for us- Nile View Guesthouse is a must stay when in Aswan! The view was absolutely incredible and the location was a short walk away to a ferry which takes you into the city! Definitely recommend!
