The location is good, very close to the center and around 15 minutes by feet from the temple. The guy who met me was pretty nice.

“Perfect stay im Abu Simbel”

Its Clean and Comfy beds Good WiFi Right in the center in Abu Simbel with Restaurants and Supermarket Perfect for 1 night to stay in Abu simbel to explore the Temple. We loved it here and would book it again :) And Hamza is also a welcoming host and helps in any way, had many interesting conversations with him :)

The host is very friendly, he gave us many helps, I appreciate very much his kind considerations

“Good, basic accommodation in Abu Simbel”

I only stayed one night. It's exactly as described and the pictures are accurate. The host was very helpful and polite and responsive, the internet worked well and its an easy 15-minute walk to the temple. The room was clean, there was a kettle and some tea bags in the kitchen and a few pots and pans.

“Good location, clean and tidy, but no towels are provided.”

The location is excellent and the Abu Simbel Temples are a brisk and easy 20 minute walk away. The room was spotless and the bathroom were clean and tidy.

“Super helpful host”

Really clean and the host was super helpful going above and beyond which is why I gave it a high rating

“Great location and price. Needed cleaning.”

I am the brave person who booked a property with only one review, so I am going to go into detail to help you all. This is a private house with 3 bedrooms and a shared bathroom/kitchen. We had the whole place to ourselves, as probably no-one else was brave enough to book it. It is impossible to find the house, even with my passable Arabic and the address written in Arabic. So the owner, Shaban, met us near where the bus dropped us off. He comes across as an honest guy, not at all dodgy. When we got to the property, it was as if a messy single guy had just moved out. The pictures you see on the website are the correct property. Just imagine them with overflowing rubbish bins, bottles/cans everywhere, dirty floor, dirty kitchen, and a foul-smelling fridge with mould growing in the food remnants. Funnily enough, the bathroom was spotless. After I spent 30 minutes cleaning, the place looked great (except for the kitchen+fridge, which I dared not tackle). There is no equipment in the kitchen to cook or eat with, so we did not even enter the kitchen again, except to use the washing machine (a big plus point). The WiFi does not work. Now for the good news: The beds are large and comfortable, and there is a/c in the bedrooms and living room. The bathroom is modern by Egyptian standards, with a powerful shower. The location is excellent - right in the centre of Abu Simbel town in a local neighbourhood. The area felt very safe - kids playing on the street, and local residents genuinely happy to see 2 tourists actually staying in the town, and not just whizzing by in their air-conditioned buses. Excellent grilled chicken/fish at Faraina restaurant on the corner (meals for 125 LE). 25 minute walk to the Abu Simbel temples, or 30 LE by tuk-tuk. The owner of the property, Shaban, owns another hotel called Tuya hotel, which is mid-way between this property and the temples.
