The Kato Dool Hotel is too beautiful for just one night but offers too little for a longer stay. This creates a contradiction, and there is still much work to be done. **Pros:** - The hotel features unique architecture with vibrant colors, staying true to the Nubian style. - The view is probably the best you can get in Aswan. - Every room includes a cozy balcony. - There is an outdoor terrace by the pool where you can enjoy food while overlooking the Nile. - The food they serve is good. **Cons:** - The food is very monotonous. 80% of the dishes are some variety of tagine. There are only a few vegetarian options, with most dishes featuring chicken, beef, or seafood. Seafood dishes must be ordered one day in advance. The waiting time for drinks and food is also very long—expect to wait 40-60 minutes after placing your order. - Many of the wooden furniture pieces need readjustment. Doors are difficult to open, windows don’t close properly, and closets won’t open. - There is only Wi-Fi in the reception area, with no coverage in the rooms. Management has been aware of this issue for over a year and promised to fix it, but nothing has changed (according to older reviews). - The rooms are very noisy. Whenever someone uses water on any floor, the boiler runs for several minutes, and you can hear every cough from neighboring rooms. - There are no blackout curtains, and the air conditioning is slow to cool the room. In the main area, there is also a loud beeping noise coming from the roof, which the staff hasn’t been able to stop. It is constant and extremely annoying when dining, relaxing, or sleeping. - The road leading to the hotel is unpaved, consisting of sand and rocks. - The hotel offers a tuk-tuk service between the village and the hotel, but there is little to do in the village. For trips to Aswan or other places, you need to book a private driver through reception. Each way will cost you about 800EGP every time - Although the hotel is branded as a 4-star wellness hotel, the only facility it offers is a pool—there are no other wellness services. - We paid around €400 for three nights, which isn’t a lot by European standards, but it is expensive for Egypt, and the quality of service did not meet expectations. The hotel is beautiful, but that’s about it. This was something we noticed throughout Aswan: prices are higher than in Luxor, but the level of service drops significantly. Even the bathrooms lack basic amenities, like toilet brushes. - There are many staff members, but their English is very limited, making communication difficult and leading to frequent misunderstandings. The only staff member who is easy to work with is Ahmed at the reception. He tries his best to make your stay more enjoyable. - A major downside is the lack of an alcohol license. While alcohol isn’t essential for a vacation, it adds a romantic element to the evenings with the stunning view. The hotel caters exclusively to foreign tourists,

This beautiful hotel, decorated in a colourful and tasteful Nubian style, is a jewel right on the Nile. Attention to detail - clean, comfortable beds, gorgeous bathroom, beautiful private patios overlooking the river, and locally made art - is evident everywhere. The attentive, gracious staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome and pampered. The delicious food is designed for everyone’s taste and can be enjoyed indoors or outside next to the Nile. A lovely infinity pool and hot tub are available for your relaxation and pleasure. Everything about this hotel is more than a five star experience.

I immediately typed this review on my phone upon departure because I was so excited to post it when I had some time and internet. Hadouta Masreya is an incredible experience! My ONLY regret is that we didn’t have enough time as we didn’t land until 1:30 am and had to leave around 9 am. Hospitality: Hamed and Shereen were extremely accommodating during and before the trip, respectively. Shereen helped me coordinate via WhatsApp transportation from the airport (and to our Nile cruise pick up point), as the Nubian Village is not directly off a main road. Our drivers were there for airport pickup on time and patient with all of our luggage and how late it was. They even came back to take us to our Nile cruise pickup point. Furthermore, one of the drivers helped us contact our tour guide when we couldn’t find our guide at the cruise point. They ensured not to leave us until we were in safe hands! Upon arrival to the guest house, Hamed welcomed us with open arms- literally! He was on the steps upon arrival (it’s 2:30 am at this point) and super friendly and helpful! He offered us juices and helped set us all up. In the morning, he offered us snacks and beverages (as we were too tired to wake up early enough for breakfast- which was definitely offered!!). Just such wonderful hospitality and we felt so sad to leave! Room: My parents had a private room on the first floor and my husband and I had one at the top floor with the view of the Nile. Both rooms were clean and had functional AC! The bathrooms were updated. Like the vanity and tiles look better than the ones in my bathroom at home LOL. The mattress was on the stiffer side, but that’s a good thing for us, as we do prefer these types of beds. The view was incredible too in the morning when we woke up! Heads up before you book: the Nile view rooms have a lot of stairs so be prepared if that’s what you book. We knew that going in so we had ourselves mentally ready! Ambience: Nubian Village is so special and beautiful. I really want to come back and visit again! The colors are so vibrant and you could feel the sense of community and pride in their village as you’re driving through. There are cute markets within walking distance too. Overall, these positive reviews are spot on, and the pictures simply don’t do this properly justice.

Wonderful experience! This place is the best place to stay when you are in Aswan if you like peace and quite and beautiful views. The location is magical right in front of Philae temple, You reach the hotel by taxi boat (check in and check out are free drive) You are far from the city center please keep this in mind! But for us this was perfect. we wanted a place to relax in a nice quiet environment to end our holiday in busy Egypt. THE STAFF All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. The service was great! The welcome hibiscus drink was a nice extra touch! THE HOTEL GROUNDS The hotel is situated on a private island in front of Philae temple. The buildings are build in a traditional way with respect for nature. We really loved the use of natural materials it gives an extra connection with the environment. The Vegetable garden is a beautoful oasis. they grow their own food to use in the restaurant. We also loved the cats and dogs (Rita and Anton) They have a private beach with river access and also kayaks. THE RESTAURANT The restaurant location is breathtaking, right in front of Philae temple. Its not only a beautiful place, the food is amazing to! And you can tell because of the large groups who visit the restaurant for lunch when they end their visit in the temple. We had lunch and diner in the restaurant and it was perfect! Very fresh and delicious and a lot of choice on the menu. Breakfast is also very good. At night you can watch the lightshow on the temple. THE ROOM The room is very basic but good. It is small but for us perfect. The bed is comfortable and the balcony beautiful with nile views and even the temple complex! The bathroom was very basic, the room floated while showering. There is no wifi in the room but that is absolute not a problem for us. TRANSFERS The taxi boat transfers were very good. we had no problems with our transportation to the city and the airport. They even arranged a boat for us at 3u30 in the morning because we had an early flight to Cairo. They also made us a breakfast box to take on the plane! Thank you to the Eco Nubia team for our wonderful experience at your beautiful place! Sarah and Jan

이 작은 호텔은 작은 마을에 있습니다. 2월에 갔는데 건조하고 추웠어요. 에어컨은 냉각할 수 있어요. 문 틈의 바람이 매우 큽니다. 파노라마 룸은 한쪽에 발코니가 있어 더 춥습니다. 프론트 데스크의 Sara는 더 전문적이며, 필요한 경우 물어볼 수 있지만 아침 10시에 출근합니다. 바를 담당하는 사람은 매우 신뢰할 수 없습니다. 우리에게 주었던 뜨거운 물 냄비는 씻지 않았습니다. 우유를 넣은 냄비는 물에 담근 물이 모두 페이스트되었습니다. 식생활은 전혀 믿을 수 없었고 우리에게 두 병의 물을 강제로 팔았습니다. 우리는 주문하지 않았고 그는 우리에게 그것을 직접 주었다. 그래서 우리는 그것이 아침 식사라고 생각했고 마침내 우리에게 가격표를 보여주고 우리에게 돈을 요구했습니다. 나는 당신이 우리에게 말하지 않았다고 말했고 그는 당신이 묻지 않았다고 말했습니다. Aswan의 첫 번째 중지 인상은 매우 나쁩니다!

호텔은 정말 아름다웠고 훌륭한 건축물과 장식을 갖춘 훌륭한 시설, 객실에서 나일강이 보이는 인상적인 전망, 매우 깨끗하고 편안한 공용 공간과 객실이 있었습니다. 편안하고 개인적인 환경. 독특한 경험. 서비스는 좋았지만 레스토랑에서 서빙하는 직원과 의사소통이 잘못된 문제가 있습니다. 그들과 영어로 의사소통하는 것은 어려웠고 소비와 식비 문제도 있었습니다. 그런 점에서 호텔에는 개선의 여지가 있습니다. 우리의 위치는 다른 손님이나 관광객에게는 정말 좋았지만 접근이 쉽지 않기 때문에 문제가 될 수 있습니다. 호텔에서는 본토까지 셔틀 보트를 제공하지만, 우리는 셔틀 보트를 타려면 본토에서 오랜 시간을 기다려야 했습니다. 교통편을 위해 미리 전화할 전화가 없으면 호텔에 접근하는 것이 정말 달라집니다. 우리는 아스완의 투어 가이드가 현지 전화를 가지고 있었고 항상 호텔에 연락하고 보트를 타는 데 도움을 줄 수 있어서 운이 좋았습니다.

We booked Villa Misk because of the beautiful view overlooking the boats and Philae temple in the distance. The villa is slightly out of town, which makes it very peaceful and tea on the terrace overlooking the water is just wonderful. The hospitality here is second to none. Ahmed and his family went above and beyond to make our stay in Aswan the best that it could be. They were very accommodating of our early check in and late check out. Ahmed not only organised a visit to Abu Simbel for us from Aswan, he very kindly organised a driver for us for our time in Luxor as well. Our best memories in Egypt are all thanks to Ahmed’s kindness and expertise. Definitely book this place - it’s a gem.

The hotel is situated in a good location which is closed to the mall and railway station. Staffs are very friendly and helpful, especially the housekeeper. She left a Thank You note when I put some tips on the table for her. The room is very basic with no free water, kettle and coffee bag/tea bags provided. TV channels are limited but have English movies to watch. The bathroom needs some upgrading and the shower area is very small and difficult to bath. Hot water supply is good. The carpet is very dusty as well as the table and chair outside the balcony. The hotel needs to work on all the doors as I have to use strength to open and close which create a lot of noises. During my stay, my neighbours came back very late and were banging the doors in the middle of the night which disrupted my sleep. The restaurant doesn't open till late as told. I went down at 5pm and was told that they do not serve dinner but there were few groups of local tourists sitting there. Overall it is still an ok hotel but needs some improvement on their premises.

이곳은 지역의 매력과 행복을 비명을 지르고 있습니다. 위치는 놀랍습니다. 누비아 마을(택시 운전사가 길을 잃었다고 생각할 것입니다), 강가에 있어 다채롭고 명랑하고 깨끗하며 레스토랑은 너무 맛있습니다...나일강 쪽에서 식사를 하면 됩니다. 어느 날 밤 지역 음악 그룹이 왔습니다…정말 재미있었어요. 보트를 타는 현지인 Fufu가 있는데, $2.00에 그는 가장 재미있는 수상 택시입니다. 나는 당신이 있는 곳을 잘 느낄 수 있는 호텔을 찾고 있는데 이곳이 바로 그 곳입니다. 무슬림 호텔이라 바는 없습니다. 면세점에서 보드카 한 병을 가지고 있어서 다행이었습니다. 호텔에는 수영장이 없습니다. 관리자가 곧 하나를 추가할 것이라고 말했습니다! 다행이다 이 곳은 당신이 시원한 곳에서 원하는 모든 것을 갖추고 있습니다. 예약하세요! 산타페의 파커

이 호텔의 양면 동전은 모든 영역에서 일부 긍정적인 부분과 일부 부정적인 부분입니다. 위치는 나일강과 기차역과 매우 가까워 편리하지만 호텔 방의 발코니에서는 공사로 항상 바쁘고, 들개가 짖고, 스피커에서 이른 시간까지 울려 퍼지는 이슬람 기도문으로 분주했던 쓰레기 투하 광경이 내다보였습니다. . 리셉션 서비스는 당시 누가 있었는지에 따라 괜찮았으며 하루 전에 미리 아부 심벨로의 여행을 준비해 주었습니다. Wi-Fi는 작동하지 않았지만 방은 깨끗하고 편안했습니다. 전반적으로 객실 가격은 나쁘지 않습니다. 시끄러운 소음으로 잠을 잘 수 없거나 Wi-Fi가 필요한 경우 사용을 재고해 보세요.
