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.

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.

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

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 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.

Falta de higiene.

El hotel está ubicado en una zona de aldea Nubia, es de difícil acceso, todos los taxistas se quejan de las distancias y la calidad del camino. La higiene no es la mejor, se fue la energía eléctrica y hay muchas moscas en el desayuno. No volvería.

Die Unterkunft liegt in einem Nubischen Dorf direkt am Nil. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und ordentlich und alle unsere Wünsche wurden erfüllt. Die Dusche ist direkt im Bad integriert, heißt man duscht sich quasi über der Toilette, keine Kritik nur man sollte darauf vorbereitet sein. Das Hotel Personal ist sehr sehr freundlich und höflich. Das Essen im Hotel war unser Highlight, es gibt eine Vielzahl an Gerichten, die uns alle super geschmeckt haben.
