Seko Kato Nile View Hostel

room is very clean,and the staf is very hospitalty。这里住着也很舒服，打开门就是尼罗河，推荐！

环境很不错

价格不稳定，波动较大

Great communication nice rooftop for chilling out, for any activities was able to be picked up from the hostel and walked to boat ports for easy travel to places

スタッフが優しい

我真的太喜欢这家住宿了！地理位置优越，在象岛上，离码头不远，出行很方便。民宿有一个大大的露台，可以晒衣服，也可以看河景，在阳台喝咖啡看景色太惬意了。老板人也很好，给我们优惠的价格，我真的希望所有人都知道这家民宿，都来这里住

The rooms are clean, the atmosphere is relaxed and it's easy to communicate with staff and owner.

We arrived late at 23:00 and did not know how to reach the island. We messaged the host ahead of time. He was incredibly friendly, met us personally at the pier, and explained how to take the public ferry onto the island. The hostel kitchen is very clean with complete facilities. We cooked two meals ourselves and enjoyed them a lot. The air‑conditioner ran steadily.

ナイル川の島のヌビア族の集落の中にある宿 ルーフトップから対岸の眺めが素晴らしいです

ここには計4泊しました。 なんといっても魅力的な島にあり、屋上からはナイル川の眺めや、夕陽が見れます。 また、地域最安値レベルでしかも個室はとても重宝されると思います。 ナイル川をボートで渡る体験もできます。 オーナーはとてもフレンドリーで、延泊や荷物など柔軟に対応してくれました。 設備や部屋も清潔で常に清掃されており、スタッフもとても優しかったです。 ここでの滞在を強くお勧めします。

干净，地理位置好，员工服务好，有咖啡，茶喝，也有共用厨房

已经很好了

岛上安静！这个价钱还是单间太棒了

Die Ausicht und das super freundliche Personal. Das Bett war sehr bequem und am liebsten hätte ich die Bettdecke mitgenommen ♥️

Nicht gefallen kann ich nicht sagen. Aber auf jeden Fall ein Kriterium für much persönlich das nächste Mal. Eigenes Badezimmer IM Zimmer.

المكان رائع

Staff yang ramah, tempatnya bersih serta mendapatkan pemandangan yang indah

The owner was very friendly and helpful. The position was perfect, very quite. And the room was simply, but bed were comfortable and ac worked perfectly

房东热心，房间干净

Super établissement bien situé avec 2 terrasses donnant sur le Nil. Endroit paisible et calme. A l’exception du gérant (M. Seko Kato) le personnel parle très peu anglais mais tout le monde fait le maximum pour rendre votre séjour inoubliable. Les repas sont délicieux…

The price! It’s the cheapest option on the island and the owner is helpful and doesn’t try to scam you. He got us a Felucca ride for 400 EGP (8$) for an hour which is super cheap (private). If you are backpacking and need a budget friendly option: there you go!

It was not super clean. I understand that when something is that cheap you can’t expect great luxury. But the bathroom had a lot of dirt and I had to clean myself a little to put my things. I had to use my own towel as well because it was very itchy (not sure why it was 100% coton). The room was very small (again the price makes this normal) but make sure you have earplugs if you’re sensitive to noise :) Also, there is a new construction just in front of the guest house so you don’t get a direct Nile view like in the pictures anymore.

This is a fairly basic but clean and affordable guest house on the quiet side of elephantine island that was a wonderful place to stay in to get away from the hectic activity from downtown Aswan. Seko is a wonderful host and helpful to understand local area and logistics. I particularly liked the rooftop area - it was breezy and a wonderful place to do catchup on some work.

I enjoyed my stay here Siko is very friendly and very welcoming, I extended my stay here , nile is rite in front of us i loved this place

Nice small family hotel run by a Nubian family. The terrace has a great view of the Nile. Rooms are compact but comfortable. Seko was also a really great host. Great base to explore the Aswan area from. He helped us booked a trip to Abu Simbel and it was the best price we could get. He also helped friends of mine with a direct transfer back to Luxor.

Recommend bringing some insect repellent for the surrounding area at night for the mosquitos. Only other negative was that you need to walk to catch the ferry each day to go and see the attractions but it was only a short walk. Still better to be staying on Elephantine island than on the much more chaotic East Bank

Great stay with a lovely rooftop terrace looking over the river and kind service.

N/A

Seko and the team were great hosts, very laid back and easy going but always there if need be. The hostel has a beautiful roof top near a great swimming spot in the Nile. Elephantine Island is a must visit and Seko Kato Nile View Hostel is the place to stay!

everything was great. seko was kind and helpful

Terasta oturma alanı ve mutfak alanı temiz ve güzel görünüyordu.Sırt çantalı gezginler ve kısa süreli konaklamalar için ideal . terastaki odada balkonda ayağa kalkarsanız manzara güzel.Hosteldeki eksikler için kadın çalışan ve tekneyi kullanan çocuk yardımcı oldu.ve eşyalarımızı odada bırakıp geç çıkış yapmamıza izin verildi

Tesise ulaşım tekne yolu ile yapılabiliyor onun içinde ekstra ücret ödeyip teknelerini kullanabilirsiniz.Esyalarınız fazla ise yürümek eziyetli olur. Nehir kenarındaki teknelere ulaşım biraz uzak ve yolları kötü . Ayrıca asansör olmadığı ve merdivenleri dar olduğu için eşya çıkarıp indirmek çok zor terastaki oda çok sıkışık. Ve yatakların biri çok kötüydü ve bizden başka müşteri olmamasına rağmen banyoda su akmıyordu .odada hiç bir banyo malzemesi yoktu.Kadin çalışan alt katta başka bir odada duş almam için yardımcı oldu ama orada da su çok azdı.Bir de sivrisinek çok fazlaydı.pencerelerde sineklik mevcut ama kapıyı açtığınız anda odaya doluyorlar. Sinek ilacı ve sprey ile gitmenizi öneririm

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. The owner was incredibly hospitable and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. Everyone on the island was friendly and kind, which made the experience even more special. The location is perfect—very close to the fair—and the terrace is spacious with a beautiful view. We truly enjoyed our time and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting.

The facilities were clean and very nice! The owner was really kind, letting us use the terrace and bathroom free of charge after we checked out, I recommend!

Comfy and cozy

Die Unterkunft war sehr ruhig gelegen mit Blick auf den Nil. Die Unterkunft ist sehr im Stile eines nubischen Hauses gehalten. Haben noch Lake bekommen und das WLAN war sehr gut. Schnell in der Stadt Dank der Fähre. Haben durch den Besitzer auch eine Tour nach Abu Simbel zu einem sehr guten Preis gebucht.

Die Klimaanlage war leider sehr laut und das Haus schlecht isoliert, sodass man damit klar kommen muss, dass es machts etwas warm im Zimmer wird. Durch die Lage auf der Insel auch einige Moskitos durch die wir nicht so gut geschlafen haben.

La ubicación del hostel es excelente, frente a los mejores puntos de la ciudad, pero en la tranquilidad de la isla. La gente que trabaja es muy amable. Cuenta con lindas terrazas y está siempre muy limpio. Había reservado habitación compartida y me dieron una individual, lo cual se agradece

La cama podría ser más cómoda. Si no te gusta la tranquilidad o si querés no tener que cruzar todo el tiempo a la isla, preferible estar en Aswan ciudad.

Staff wasnt onsite at times. One morning no access to coffee in rooftop as no staff in the building

非常感谢房东，我的耳机遗落在了外面，他帮我找到了，第一时间给我，太感谢他了，他是一个非常好的人，这里的风景很美

WiFi訊號很差

Die Lage war sehr schön

Preis

مكان رائع فيو تحفه هدوء جميل جدااا مع منظر خلاب افطار رائع نظافه الحجره رائعه

لا يوجد اي شئ

Seko is pure business understands his business and I appreciated his assistance His brother is honest and also accommodating

Just wish the building being built would not block the Nile view but so what ! Very pleasant

The hostel and all the staff there are lovely. Even before we arrived we contacted Seko to get information about possible tours and to be able to plan our stay. He helped us organize tours to Abu Simbel Temple and Luxor and picked us up from the airport. The hostel is located on the island, very close to the ferry. The atmosphere is calm and friendly.

Exceptional value for the money

Agréable guesthouse sans chichis en bordure du Nil. Le personnel est gentil et réactif aux diverses demandes. On a pu déguster un bon et copieux repas nubien 😋 Tout était plutôt propre 👌 L'établissement propose un service de nettoyage de linge pour 20 EGP par vêtement. L'accès à l'île éléphantine se fait via le ferry qui coûte 15 EGP / personne.

La salle de bain privée était minuscule par contre. On peut se laver les mains et faire pipi en même temps 😂 Et l'évier fuyait un peu. Attention aux moustiques 🦟 Prévoyez un produit adapté. Un bâtiment est en construction juste en face, donc la vue sur le Nil est légèrement obstruée (elle reste très sympathique) et c'est bruyant en journée à cause des travaux 🚧

La vur depuis le toit terrasse Le côté calme de l Ile qui est très apaisant Chambre spacieuse

Il manque un rideau de douche :)

Hotel sur l'ile Elephantine, tres calme et tranquille, tres propre. Facile d'acces par le bateau. Proprietaire tres sympa.

Sekos house is on perfect spot on the island of elephantine where you can get easily with 2 public ferryes gor 15EGP .It has a terace wih wiev of nile. send dunes and old monastery.. theres some food and drinks avsilible and shop fownstairs .

Wonderful view form the patio and such a cheap affordable price!

Amazing view of the River Nile. It was also pretty clean!

The shower was really weak, it was hard to shower with no pressure.

Can’t get better value for your money on Elephantine Island. Comfortable, clean (no bed bugs!) private rooms, with aircon. Gorgeous rooftop view of the Nile. Seko was a hospitable host, always available for questions on WhatsApp, welcoming me with some tea and also helping me with the logistics of my stay when I was very tired and tight on time during the day.

La terraza con vistas al Nilo. Una zona chill out. Nos ayudó con transfer hasta Abu Simbel y de la Isla de Philae hasta Hurghada.

Los lavabos en las habitaciones hacia que oliera un poco mal. Y las que tienen baño afuera están algunas bien y otras algo sucias. El hecho de estar en la isla hace que tengas que ir hasta ahi en barco que cuesta 15 libras egipcias por persona y con horario limitado (6am - 12pm) o bien su barco privado 50 libras egipcias.

The stunning view of the Nile river is fabulous, breathtaking. The location of the guest house is in Aswan Island, which is absolutely ideal for backpackers seeking peace as you can only reach it by ferry 24/7, there is no bridges to cross the island. Moreover, the price per night is great value for money, I would have paid more than that for such an accommodation with all these amenities including the Ac which was obviously new, the location, this cute cat they have 😅🥰 Seko was nice, honest and guided us for Activites nearby in Aswan. He is such a nice person, and all the people on the island were kind and welcoming. I hope I come back there soon.

In my opinion it is a minor thing but I hope to be considered in the future, which is the water pressure in the double room on the roof was too weak to have a good shower, however there was a water heater but unfortunately I couldn’t get the benefit of it because of the low water pressure ☹️

Excellent value for money. All the staff are excellent. The manager always tries to accommodate guests' needs as best as possible. Good location.

Nice location on the Nile river.Very quite place with amazing terrace to watch the sunset.The owner Seko is very kind and can help you with many things!

I like that the manager let me cook my food. And the room was comfortable.

Tuve una maravillosa estancia en la isla Elefantina en este bello hospedaje con vista al Nilo. Su hermosa terraza y la calidez del dueño y sus empleados hacen de tu estancia una gran experiencia. Debes avisar si algo no funciona e inmediatamente tratan de resolver. Sin duda regresaré amigos

Seko was such a gentleman. He helped us in all aspects of our trip, booked all of our tours, got us a private boat

Honestly nothing I didn’t like

卫生间每日打扫，店里除了老板人还是很友好的。

老板人很差！可以说坏！十分不建议来住他家！！！首先态度极为恶劣，强行逼迫我们写好评，我说我们办理退房时再写，他就发火，甚至要给我撵走，说实话就是害怕他做出什么出格的事情才打算离开时再如实的写评价。还有一个最大问题是网站信息与实际严重不符，我们第一晚的住宿就是最后妥协的结果，本来预定的是带有独立卫浴和阳台的房间，抵达的时候老板态度很不好的说没有，全程推脱责任，说他有他的分配方式，酒店和网站本身房源分配上就有问题。床位房里面有三张床和一个沙发，但网站上写的是四张床，一个来自开罗的女孩就是这样被骗了，她说她本来觉着阿斯旺人都很好，除了这个老板。地理位置不是很方便，在象岛码头的另一侧。

The property is in a great location on elephantine island overlooking the Nike and a 20 minute boat ride to the Nubian village or a five minute walk to the ferry to Aswan mainland. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with super helpful and friendly staff.

The location is not convienient but the surrounding is very peaceful. The owner has a nice rooftop.

One bottle of beer costs 200 egyiptian pounds. If you want to leave early in the morning to go to Abusimbel, the private boat the owner chages 150 egyptian pounds.

cats downstairs

- full of mosquitoes - dirty - no water for shower > dropping - and finally in the story, the cherry on top, he told me he had booked the excursion to Abu Simbel with the agency: alarm at 3:30, at 4 the bus comes: all the other people are on the list while my friend and I are not. Morning wasted if coming back, never never there again - don't book with him the excursion to Abu Simbel (or any)

Las vistas del río. La gente muy amable.

Posizione e tranquillità della zona. La vista è spettacolare e il gestore riesce a farti sentire come a casa. La pulizia è curata e il rapporto qualità/prezzo ottimo.

Nulla da segnalare.

Rapport qualité-prix 👍 La vue sur le toit 👌 Le personnel 🙏

Salle de bain privative mais très petite et vétuste mais à ce prix la faut pas s'attendre a beaucoup mieux .

Жили с подругой в декабре 2025г. Очень тихое спокойное место на острове (жили до этого на правом берегу, там очень шумно). Вид с крыши прекрасный. Там можно и поесть и поработать с ноутбуком - есть розетки. Нормальный wifi. Есть маленькая кухня на крыше, с газовой плитой, чайником, посудой. Комната с большой кроватью, но достаточно маленькая для комфортного длительного пребывания

Маленький туалет (персональный, к слову), канализацию надо чистить - вода плохо уходит, оставаясь немного в душе.

It is a nice place, nice rooftop and it clean. It is very quiet and the view from the rooftop is beautiful

Even if you book a private bathroom you have to know that you will have a private bathroom but outside of the room. Also the breakfast is expensive and not good (very little and basic)

Lovely view from terrace facing river Nile and very helpful staff.

Alles top, hat mir alles gefallen, am meisten die Aussicht von der Terrasse, unbezahlbar.

Es waren ein paar Mücken im geteilten Zimmer und geteilten Badezimmer

Seko Karo bietet einen schönen Ausblick auf den Nil und eine ansprechende Dachterrasse. Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit. Direkt neben dem Guest House befindet sich ein Kiosk.

Leider ist in den Zimmern 5&6 keine Türe zwischen Toilette und Schlafzimmer vorhanden. Ansonsten war alles gut.

Гостеприимные хозяева, отличный вид. Все чисто и удобно. Мне понравилось

L’emplacement, la vue et le prix.

Le matelas.

J’ai passé un très bon séjour, le propriétaire est très sympa, nous nous sommes senti comme a la maison, le lit était confortable et la chambre propre Aussi la vue est magnifique. Je recommande !

Great location, lovely views, very relaxing and friendly

This is Abid Azad fro India. 🇮🇳 I stayed here for 2 nights and had a very good experience. The hostel is located right in the middle of the Nile, and the river view from the terrace is truly beautiful, especially at sunset. I took bath in the Nile and also enjoyed spending the night on the terrace watching the full moon. It made my stay here really magical. The owner, Seko, is also extremely helpful. He ensured everything went smoothly and even arranged a private taxi for my Abu Simbel trip on request. The day when I arrived the hostel, I was offered a refreshing drink (a cup of tea), which felt soothing after my long bus journey from Cairo. A peaceful, scenic, and friendly place to stay in Aswan. Love from India, Assam, Guwahati.

The only small downside is the Nile mosquitos—they sometimes sneak into the room at night and start “singing” in your ears just when you try to sleep! So applying a mosquito repellent is a good idea.

Personal muy amable, muy bien calidad precio

Very nice and clean rooms. Beautiful view from the roof top. The owner Mr. Seko is very nice and also the staff. Location is near the river. My morning routine was to go to the rocks nearby beside the river and enjoy my morning coffee in a quiet, beautiful and peacful environment. There is also a small shop in the same building. You can buy tea, coffee and snacks there. Shop keeper is also very nice as everybody on the island. Elephantine island is te best!

View Clean Friendly staff Good value

The bathroom is quite small. The unit isn’t directly on the beach, despite what some photos suggest. There are new buildings being constructed in front of the hotel, which will be a shame. Also, the shop downstairs sells items at very high prices

Simple et efficace, un rapport qualité prix imbattable et un emplacement exceptionnel.

There are no words that can describe the beauty of this place. The view of the Nile and the refreshing air on the rooftop make you feel as if your soul becomes a child again, tasting everything anew. The place is also clean and arranged like a 5-star hotel. In addition, the staff are friendly and kind, and you truly feel like you’re among family. I couldn’t believe the price at first until it was confirmed، it was only $16 for three nights.
