“A wonderful experience!”
The staff was excellent. Beware of the tour agencies that will run you around like crazy and make as much money as possible. I wish I had just booked everything through the hotel instead of using greedy, bossy and over priced travel agencies. The hotel and arrange everything for you.

Great location, really friendly & welcoming staff; helpful & HONEST. Room was large, clean and comfy and had great views over the Nile. Breakfast delicious too and you're only a short stroll from being immersed in the traditional villages. Fabulous stay, wish I were there longer!

“Excellent choice for those looking for a small hotel with character”
Excellent small hotel with the rooms at the front having a great view. On the island looking back at the main town but an easy ferry ride back. Very friendly staff and the restaurant has particularly good food. A real find if you want a more modest hotel with character. Arranged a couple of boat trips through the hotel which worked very well.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff are fabulous. Food is exceptional and really good portions. Great location, we enjoyed spending time on the balcony watching the boats and feluccas. Easy to access, the ferry is cheap and quick. We never had to wait for it to arrive. We enjoyed walking around the Island, the locals are friendly and welcoming. Great size room, very clean. Toilet paper and towels easily accessible in the cupboard in the hall. We used InDrive for transport. Simple, cheap and easy to use, Aswan's version of Uber.

“Great Nubian hotel which is exceptionally clean and well run”
Great roof top restaurant with reasonable prices. The room was very clean with a great Nile view from the balcony. The staff were exceptionally helpful and supplied wonderful drivers and boatmen. It seems much nicer to stay on the calmer Elephantine Island rather than in Aswan itself. The hotel is 4 mins walk from the public ferry to Aswan.

Staying at Kana Kato on Elefantine Island was really exceptional! The vibe of the staff is cool, the food really amazing, and the location away from the crowds of the city. Our room was simple, so don’t expect a luxury room, but if you’re aware of this, you will love this remote place.
