Kashta Guest House & Hostel, hotel in Aswan

Kashta Guest House & Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Aswan.

the hotel is located on the quiet side of the island so you don't feel the smog and dust! the ferry between the island and the city runs every 10 minutes and costs about 0.2 USD (January 2025) there is a shop and a restaurant on the island but I recommend eating at the hotel because Mr. Omar is a great cook (the food is delicious and we didn't have any stomach problems even eating raw vegetables). Mr. Omar arranged all the trips for us (Abu simbel, Phile and transport from the airport and to Luxor) at unbeatable prices and without haggling. the contact with the host is great. he replies quickly on WhatsApp.

david hostel, hotel in Aswan

David hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Aswan. Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a barbecue.

Though it was one of the most run down hostels I’d visited, it was not dirty. If all you care about is rock bottom pricing, you'll find it here. The one tour they did help me book was just $20 (it’s not really a tour, just transfer there and back) which is probably as cheap as it gets in Aswan. However, they did not drop me off at the hostel and instead a 10 minute walk away. When I protested they didn't care. Luckily I had data so could find my own way through the local neighbourhood. Airport pick up at 1am for a very decent price.

Heissa Hostel was perfectly what we were looking for. A beautiful guesthouse on the Nile where we really felt like home. Om Youssef and Om Rayan, our hosts are absolutely the Highlight of our stay.

The food is so yummy, cooked with so much love ❤️ we can’t wait to come again ! We recommend it 100%

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They gave me plenty of recommendations and did not overcharge for water (like many hostels and hotels do). The area felt safe as staff as well as locals from the village would assist if need be.

    This is the nicest place I have been in Egypt. Mango hostel is a very beautiful hotel, with colors everywhere and plants. It’s not in the city but in the island just in front (5 min by public boat, very easy) so it’s quiet and chill. The room was comfortable and all clean. What was the best, is the staff. They are all very kind, and make sure you feel good and safe. They also arrange you tour if you need. A little heaven.

    Great location in Elephant Island!! This is a great place to experience authentic Nubian culture and lifestyle. I highly recommend to stay here rather than in central Aswan, The ferry is very easy to get and is very cheap. You are also close to shops and restaurants plus your are supporting a local family

    Property is in a quiet area of Aswan, away from the noisy city. Crossing the street it has an exclusive area to swim into the Nile river or do some kayaking, which are rented for a cheap price. They also offer water and soft drinks and a small breakfast included. You can easily spend many days relaxing in the hostel, without even leaving to do attractions.

    Great owner who was very helpful, the room was nice, and I loved the view from the rooftop! The hostel is on the island and is very easy and cheap to reach by public ferry (takes 5mins). Walking around the island is also fun. Check out King Jamaica for some good food. :)

    This village is great if you want to experience local life. The staff here are really nice and always ready to help with a smile. It's very safe to walk around this island even at night. I felt comfortable with the Nubian people and trusted them completely. For those seeking conformity, this hostel may not align. But if you want to relax and enjoy the peacefulness while looking at the stars, this is the place to be
