Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The property is located in the heart of the fortress and is a stunning and unique place to stay. You can wake up early and watch the sunrise from the rooftop. Muhammad was friendly and cooked a delicious breakfast. The property was good value and we were allowed late check out which allowed us to shower before our bus ride.
Nice room with a good breakfast and an incredible view. The location is also very convenient, close to the bus station, the city center, and the fortress
Towels are not provided, so remember to bring your own
Bien localisée mais juste à côté du muezzin si certains ont le sommeil léger.
Sdb qui s’inonde, beaucoup de moustiques ! Très peu de prises dans les chambres
What an unique place to stay!! great location! great roof top sunset! I love it!
This place was in perfect location to the castle. Have the most amazing rooftop view. Restaurants and shops walking distance to the house. Staff was very helpful and make me feel welcome. He even organise a taxi for me to get to the bus stop on my last day so I can make it in time

Our stay at NaInshal accommodation in Siwa was absolutely unforgettable. The owner is the most genuinely cute and kind-hearted Egyptian we’ve met—he was incredibly helpful and supportive, always ready to assist with anything we asked, but never in an intrusive or pushy way. He simply made everything easier without ever trying to sell or force anything on us. We were even offered an early check-in and a late check-out, which made our stay super comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, and overall he is just a truly wonderful person. Now, about the accommodation itself—it is easily the best place you can stay in Siwa Siwa Oasis, and honestly one of the best stays we’ve ever had during all our travels. It is located right in the historic center and is part of a major local landmark, which makes the experience even more special. The rooms have hot water, and the highlight is definitely the amazing rooftop terrace with an incredible panoramic view over the entire city. We highly recommend this place—you will not regret it. Truly the best experience from our travels in Egypt.

Traditionelles Lehmhaus in der Altstadt. Eine besondere Erfahrung, hier zu übernachten Freundliches Personal Guter Blick auf die Altstadt. Besonders von der am höchsten gelegenen Frühstücksterrasse
Kein Schild am Eingang. Daher ohne Nachfrage nicht zu finden. Störende Insekten Kein Bad im Zimmer
Posto favoloso, incontaminato nel vero senso della parola, essenziale e stupendo nella sua natura, per pochi intenditori. Ti senti a casa.
Nulla, tutto perfetto
The location and the experiences staying in ancient room
Nothing
L’accueil et prise en charge direct à notre arrivée par le bus du matin Le taxi/guide durant les excursions était extra Idem pour le safari très contrôlé et sécurisé Le lieu est magique en plein milieu de la vieille ville L’endroit est très calme et propre Le petit déjeuner est délicieux
Les moustiques
The place was super quiet and clean, recommend it for anyone who looking for relaxation. Hillal was a kind person helped us for many things and we did a special SAFARI .
Nothing
Perfect location and price
Friendly and helpful staff.
The location is a bit difficult to find. Aggressive mosquitos.
La amabilidad del empleado. La decoración. La ubicación
Me gustó todo
在市中心的小巷子裡,頂樓可以看到壯觀的沙利古堡,早餐也可在此享用。房間布置別緻,乾淨。洗手間是共用的。
只有大廳有網路
An amazing location surrounded by a medieval fort, all of which can be enjoyed from the fantastic roof terrace. Just 5 minutes walk from the main square.
The rooms and bathrooms could certainly do with a bit of TLC, but at the same time this is sort of in keeping with the surroundings.
Un sueño el edificio, las vistas, las instalaciones, habitaciones, desayuno, personal…. Perfecto
探検のようなお宿でとても楽しかったです。 お部屋もとても快適でした。
ドライヤーがなかったこと。頼まないとタオルがないこと。
シワで最もよいホテルです! オーナーは丁寧な人で、近くのお城への登り方も教えてくれました。 また、ホテル内は洞窟のようになっていてわくわくします。 屋上からはシワの街や遠くの山々まで一望できます。 見た所ここより高い(高度が)ところに屋上をもつホテルはないので、是非宿泊すべきです!
シャワーの水圧が弱すぎた点
Klimat, styl, atmosfera, pyszne śniadanie, miły personel. Wspaniały pobyt!
Mohamed is a really good person. He is so honest and help us a lot. The hotel is super close to the main Siwa square with views to the Shali old town and viewpoint. It is a quiet area, which is key to relax and recharge energies after a long bus trip from Cairo or even a tour around Siwa. It’s was very cosy and you can feel immerse to the Barbar culture and live. The room was very cool and the breakfast was well balance and delicious with a mix of European and Siwa variety. He recommend us the main restaurants and it was fav. Definitely, if we come back again to Siwa we will choose to stay here again.
Anything to add here.
美味的早餐,在屋顶吃饭可以看见莎莉古堡,老板会按你的要求把早餐端上去,很善良随和的大叔老板!
The Nalnshal Siwa hostel was amazing, Ibrahim was really helpful since the first time we arrive and he helped us with transportation and he recommended us a great Safari tour, I can said that the rooms looks the same as in the pictures and in general everything was clean and the breakfast that Ibrahim cooked was delicious,we definitely want to come back
オーナーのIbrahimさんにツアーの相談をした所、理想のプランをセッティングしてくれました。 いつも笑顔で迎え入れてくれて実家のような安心感がありました。 屋上からの旧市街の景色は圧巻です!
窓を開けて寝ていたため旧市街に住み着く野犬の群れが一晩中うるさかったですが、このホステルにはそれ以上の価値がありました。
Amazing peaceful location, kind staff, tastefully decorated rooms
Hébergement parfait pour visiter l’oasis de Siwa. Hébergement vraiment typique de Siwa avec vue sur la forteresse de Shali. Personnel très accueillant, sympathique et toujours prêt à rendre service. Je recommande.
The overall stay was decent. However, the black (Sudanese) man who managed the house was a disappointment. He suggested a ride to the Oracle Temple and Cleopatra's Spring, but he charged 500 EGP. It was an outrageous price. The trip to both places took less than an hour. I felt cheated and was extremely upset.
LOCATION +Across the street from Siwa Villa and up on the hill. It's a bit hard to find if you don't know where to look. +Less than 10 minutes walk from the bus (West Bus from Cairo at least) dropoff point. +Less than 10 minute walk to Shali fortress and the main restaurant and shop area. ROOM +Simple, rustic, adequate. +Bed was clean and comfortable BATHROOM +Hot water (at least for a few minutes) +Western toilet STAFF/LOBBY +Staff was friendly and available KITCHEN/MEALS +Breakfast is an omlette, fuul (beans), falafel, cucumber and tomato, cheese and bread. OTHER +Online credit card payments +Rooftop is nice for having breakfast and hanging out +Was allowed to check in around 10 AM after arriving on the night bus from Cairo
**********Minuses ROOM -MOSQUITOS. All night -no top sheet. Just an itchy wool blanket. --My door didn't lock. It didn't even close because the door frame was son warped. I didn't even get a key to the room. BATHROOM -shared bathroom KITCHEN/MEALS -no water refill WIFI -Wi-fi was weak and cut out frequently OTHER -frequent power outages
Unique and lovey traditional style property with great views of the city and ruins. Lovely owners who were very kind and flexible! Comfortable and clean, would definitely stay here again
I really like breakfast
It's a pity there's no separate bathroom.
房间内没有卫生间,确实是古堡,但是条件也太差了。 因为突然有事,联系房主提前一天退房被拒绝。
Çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardimseverdi.
Kahvaltı cesitlendirilebilir .odada tavandan topraklar yatağa geliyordu ve yorgan çok tüylüydü.
Personnel exceptionnel et gentil ! Le gérant est le meilleur de tout l’Égypte
Si vous voulez faire un voyage dans le temps, vous êtes au bon endroit. Vieille maison traditionnelle en face de la citadelle, super vue depuis la terrasse, chambre correct, petit déjeuner egalement. Et .merci à Mohamad pour sa gentillesse , toujours prêt à rendre service.

Posizione Semplicità
Vogliono venderti escursioni loro, se chiedi di essere portato solo in un punto non va bene Escursione in un posto vicino, raggiungibile a piedi, a prezzo altissimo
To idealne miejsce dla osób, które chcą poczuć egzotykę prawdziwego berberyjskiego domu. 🌴 Niezwykły klimat, serdeczna atmosfera i bardzo pomocny personel. Polecam!
スタッフの皆さんが親身に相談に乗ってくださり、特に大きな不自由なく滞在することができました。 部屋も広くリネン等も清潔で快適でした。 中心地からも近いため行動しやすく、落ち着いたローカルな雰囲気も味わました。
wifiは各部屋ではなくラウンジのみで使用可能でした。 (部屋にも電波自体は問題なく入りました)
The Location and the staff were excellent They are very kind and helpful This is a good place to stay
I liked everything
Je n'ai séjourné qu'une nuit à NaInshal Siwa, mais j'ai juste adoré le lieu hors du temps. A découvrir absolument lors de votre séjour à Siwa !
这里非常优美,老板人也很好,给我们准备了茶。切身体验了在古堡里面的住宿!原来是下午1点左右退房 但是我们的bus比较晚,是晚上七点的,老板也让我们在房间待到了下午五点。
From the moment I stepped inside the hostel I felt welcomed and like home. Ibrahim who is one of the managers was very friendly and treated me and the other guests with utmost respect and warmth. The hostel has a very beautiful rooftop where you can watch the sunset/sunrise and/or just hang out. I did a tour around Siwa with the help of Ibrahim who organised a driver for me. His name is Moazzam, he is very professional at what he is doing and was always making sure I am fine. I also got to sleep a night in the desert thanks to them! It was a really beautiful and unforgettable experience. Location of the hostel could not be better, it is near to everything and so calm and peaceful inside. If you are a person who values authentic experiences and like to be surrounded by history, friendly people and peaceful environment, choose this place!
Siwa 시내 중심이자 샬리 요새 바로 아래입니다. 저는 카노이로 돌아갈때 버스정거장에 걸어서 갔습니다 위치가 매우 좋았고, 직원들 모두 친절해요! 내집처럼 생각하라고 할땐 감동 철철 😁 공용욕실이지만 전용욕실처럼 불편함없이 사용했습니다. 무엇보다 전통적인 집으로 siwa를 온전히 느끼기 충분했습니다 가성비 좋아요
Our stay at NaInshal was truly wonderful! The place is spacious, super comfortable, and spotless. We even asked what they use to perfume the rooms because it smelled so good! Being right in the middle of the medieval town, we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better location. The building keeps its original charm and architecture, so you really feel connected to the history of the place, but still enjoy all the comfort. Every night going to bed felt like part of the adventure. It’s a big building with different corners to relax in, and some lovely balconies with amazing views. But what really made the experience special was the people. The staff were simply incredible, so kind and genuine. Ibrahim made us the most delicious breakfasts. Mohammed was always smiling, welcoming, proactive, and just went the extra mile to help us with everything. And Hilal helped us plan our days and even invited us to dinner at Olive Garden, where we had one of the best meals of our trip. We left feeling so grateful, for the place, but especially for the people. We really hope to come back one day!
Nothing, everything was great.
Mohammed was extremely helpful. He helped us re-arrange our booking when our plan gone wrong. Every information we needed in town, he provided us with more than what we needed. The house is beautifully decorated and located right under Shali Fortress and very close to the main square where all the restaurants are.
The only downside is that the toilets and bathrooms are outside. It could have been a 10 if bathrooms were inside our rooms.
Très bien situé en plein cœur de la forteresse, dans une habitation traditionnelle avec une incroyable vue depuis le toit Des déjeuners délicieux préparés chaque matin Et un staff très accueillant et chaleureux
Le cadre, le calme et la vue sur la forteresse.
The cleanliness
No air conditioning
Schlafen im den alten Ruinen von Shali. Das hat etwas magisches. Von der Dachterrasse hat man einen tollen Blick auf die alten Festungsanlagen. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und wenn man keine Lust hat außerhalb zu essen, kann man sich auch ein Dinner bestellen (haben wir bei Ankunft gemacht und es war sehr lecker!)
Da gibt es nichts
默罕默德是个很好的棒小伙,民宿很有特色就在莎莉古堡里面,很安静,露台可以俯瞰风景
虽然原本条件差一点点,但是老板已经尽力将这里打造的很好了,卫生也不错,浴室收拾的干净,尽可能提供好的服务
Striatura tipica, pulitissima e super disponibili.
전통적인 이집트 가옥에서의 숙박은 나에게 특별한 경험이었습니다 위치가 약간 높아서 옥상에서 바라보는 난샬요새와 시와 전경이 아름답습니다 매니져인 무함마드는 무뚝뚝한거 같으면서도 친절하고 필요한 것들을 잘 챙겨주었습니다 그는 이야기 해주는걸 좋아했고 다정했는데 내가 영어가 짧아서 많은 대화를 나누지 못한점은 아쉬웠습니다
에어컨이 없고 수냉선풍기를 사용하다 보니 소음이 좀 있지만 크게 문제되진 않았습니다
I had an absolutely wonderful stay here in Siwa! From the very first moment, Mohammed welcomed me with his sunny, positive attitude and warm smile, making me instantly feel at home. He went above and beyond, not only ensuring that everything was perfect for my stay but also sharing so much about the region, its culture, and his own fascinating heritage. It truly felt like more than just accommodation — it was an authentic cultural experience. The room and facilities were spotlessly clean and exactly as expected. I had been driving for a very long time before arriving, and Mohammed kindly allowed me to check in early without any hesitation. That small gesture made a huge difference — I could rest, recharge, and start my Siwa experience full of energy. He was always available for any questions and gave great recommendations. The local breakfast was fresh and delicious, a perfect start to each day. Mohammed is one of those rare hosts who genuinely cares about his guests and takes pride in making their stay special. If I had more cash on me, I would have tipped him generously — he truly deserves it. I hope the owner knows what a gem they have with him. I will absolutely recommend this place to anyone coming to Siwa! A fabulous place in the heart of the Shali fortress, well maintained and with good souls making your stay unforgettable!
夜のバスの時間まで部屋を使わせていただきました。宿で過ごす時間が多かったのですが、とてもプライベートを重視してくれて、とても居心地が良かったです。日本人はとても気に入ると思います。
部屋のコンセントがあったら良かったです。ツアーはムハンマドさんと相談して立てたほうが良いかもです。僕はパッケージツアーにしてしまい、少し割高に感じました。
In was the best hotel in Siwa , very beautiful and special building and very nice service , thanks all the staff there , I have a very beautiful memory in Siwa because I stayed here 3 nights !
For me all is okay
We had a great stay. People were friendly and we even got a mobile air-conditioning for convenience. Also nice breakfast on the rooftop.

Such an amazing location within Shali Fortress, we loved the atmosphere and just sitting on the roof terrace reading. Mohammed was a lovely and very helpful host. We were able to pick which room we wanted and chose one that was a bit cooler. Keep in mind that this is somewhere to stay for the experience and environment not luxury comfort- there is no air conditioning and can get very hot in the summer.
This is a photographers paradise! The house is more than 2 hundred years old and is decorated with all sorts of vintage pieces. The staff is great and make excellent breakfast.
Because it is an old house there isn’t much comfort. That being said I had one of the best nights of sleep I got in a long time
Amazing experience Hotel in the desert The owner is very friendly
I like everything from the hotel
Traditional architecture and design gave the rooms and common areas a rustic and authentic feel.
Nothing. This hotel was good value for money at this price point.
I really enjoyed my stay at Nainshal Siwa. We stayed 6 nights in early April. The rooms are traditional and rustic. There is a sense of calm and privacy mixed with the feeling that you're sharing a large traditional family home. Occasional short wait for a bathroom. The bed was comfy. There are a lot of shared spaces where you can sit at night, and the views of Shali fortress from the large roof terrace are magical. It was a quiet location (apart from the call to prayer, but that is everywhere) and just a few minutes walk to the busy centre for restaurants etc. (I highly recommend Kosheri Karim, amazingly tasty food). Mr Hial cooks a great breakfast. It was very tasty and filling (falafel, omelette, cheese, beans, tomatoes and cucumber, bread, coffee, water). Mr Hilal and all the guys were so helpful, spoke good english and gave good advice. We went on a brilliant desert safari they organised for us. They kindly picked us up from the minibus station when we arrived. I'd highly recommend staying here.
It’s a really nice place where you could experience the traditional Siwa house. And it’s really close to fortress where you could go to see the sunrise and sunset in 5 mins walking. The stuff Mohamed Sulinan is really friendly and talkative, and gave a lot of useful information to me. Also he shared his artwork of Chinese characters with me, which is done with great care! I strongly recommend this place!
It was a great stay and a staff was wonderful
Top location Breakfast
The staff was most amazing and welcoming!! Made me feel like home! Beautiful experience to sleep in a cave room! Will definitely come back!
The place is out of this world... literally and in the most positive way. I was looking for tranquility, and that's what I found. Moving back in time to the epoch long gone...
The architecture of the building is stunning, the room is spacious, and the bed is exceptionally comfortable. Every member of the hotel staff is warm and hospitable, ensuring a welcoming atmosphere throughout the stay.
I was unable to lock my room. While I felt the hotel was secure, as a solo female traveler, I would have appreciated having a small locker by my door for added security of my belongings and myself at night. I am unsure if this was an issue in all rooms or if it was specific to my room.
Mohammed the manager of the property speaks fluent English and able to support so much information about Siwa. Also, his breakfast was absolutely great to have in the morning. He recommended his friend Ibrahim as our tuk tuk driver for my 2 days stay. Price was decent and Ibrahim is fun & friendly. The property location is in the town, so moving around for food and Shanli Fortress is just stone thrown distance. If you would like to experience Berber house stay, you may consider this.
Low water pressure
Really cool view looking over the city of Siwa from the top balcony.!!
There was a dog up barking for hours during the night, quite a nice tone to his bark.!!! Other then that was great.!
From the moment we arrived in the early hours from a night bus Mohamed made us feel welcome and at home. He deserves 10/10 for how accommodating and helpful he was. The room was tastefully decorated and the shared bathrooms were clean.
The room was a little chilly (it was February) so a duvet might be a nice addition to the beds for the winter months! Also we were aware of this but just note that towels are not provided so remember to bring your own 😊
Very friendly staff. The breakfast was amazing. I liked the sweet honey and hummus. The sunrise from the roof top was majestic. I enjoyed staying in this traditional Siwan home.
Beautifully restaured and tastefully decorated authentic Siwa house, very peaceful, lovely staff
The environment of the place, very nice views and room designs
There was not good WiFi in the room
Mohamed (hope I spell his name right), the manager, is great. He’s super accommodating and approachable. Location is good too cos it’s next to Shakira Fortress which you can wander around and climb for sunrise and sunset, as well as close to the main bazaar.
Wifi didn’t really work in the rooms but given Siwa is about taking it slow, a digital detox might actually be a good thing. :)
I love everything about Nansjhal. The location, the view, the staff, and the room! Absolutely a magical place!
The place is lovely and the staff were so kind and accommodating
The host was very welcoming, we loved our stay there. Even though bathrooms were shared, they were clean. Rooms are big and spacious. The breakfast was decent too. The place is centrally located, so all the popular cafes and markets are 5mins walk. The host was kind enough to let us checkin early and checkout late.
While everything was beyond expectations, we felt blankets could have been more comfortable and clean.
Great Location in Siwa. Thank you so much Mohamed suliman and saleh Mahmoud for everything 🙏🙏
Wonderful terrace, fantastic staff, typical building made of mud and wood, great breakfast.
Tiny room, dark, sand falling from the ceiling, door couldn’t be closed, dark and dirty toilet.
Centrally located in the heart of the city right next to the Shali Fortress. Super fun staff (thanks Mohammed and Ibrahim!), had fires at night, rooftop had great views, it was beautiful!
