The owner is great, very helpful and friendly. I felt really welcome there. Breakfast was excellent and the location is in a quiet corner of the Nile island Elephantine, but one can walk to the ferry port in a few minutes. The bathroom was nice and the room was clean. The free drinking water was very appreciated.

You have free and private sauna. There is also option to pay (not much) for massage. I would recommend Abu guesthouse to anyone who comes to Asuan.

Abu was an incredible host and his hospitality was some of the best we’ve ever experienced. The guesthouse is situated on Elephantine Island, which is a quiet and relaxing location just a short ferry ride from the chaos of Aswan city centre. The property has a lovely rooftop to relax upon and this is also where breakfast is served. The food at the guesthouse is delicious, we had breakfast there every day and also ate for dinner there. The rooms are very well equipped and we even got an upgrade which was much appreciated. Abu and his family went above and beyond and made our stay very memorable indeed.

“Recommended for a pleasant stay”
The rooms are nice and clean with comfortable beds. The breakfast is very good. Abu is a wonderful host. He gave us a lot of useful advices, took us around with his boat and cooked for us a delicious dinner. The island is a peaceful place and we really loved to relax there for a few days.

Abu is a great host, he took me from the other side to the island and offered a sunset nile tour for free. The hostel is well decorated, the room is very clean and looks so new. Staff are very polite. Bathroom is very clean, the hot water was amazing

“10 stars!!”
The owner of the guest house is truly exceptional — very friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. If you’re looking for an authentic experience on a fantastic island with absolutely stunning views, Abu’s guest house is the perfect choice. He’s always ready to help with anything you need, and he even offers free laundry service. His whole family is just as kind, making you feel at home from the very first moment.

“Great rooms and elephantine island is the best place to stay in Aswan”
Nice, quiet and relaxed place to stay away from the bustle of the mainland. Always felt safe and no one hassling you. Ferry very cheap. Nice restaurants on the island, especially King Jamaica.

The host Abu is very kind and hospitable, at the service of the guest at all times. We arrived in Aswan around midnight. Abu organized a transfer for us from the airport, met us at the boat dock and took us to Elephantine Island on his boat. Upon arrival, he offered us a fresh mango juice. He took us to a drive on his boat around Elephantine Island. The room was very clean and breakfast was good. Everything was great.

“A unique location on Elephantine Island, just a short boat ride from the Aswan riverside. The hotel was clean, the room”
A very welcoming and hospitable guest house with extremely friendly hosts. The room was very clean and comfortable, the food was excellent and our host and his family were very kind. The location was also wonderful, on an island away from the hustle and bustle of Aswan where there are no cars.
