Ottimo rapporto, qualità prezzo La posizione dell'isola , un paradiso
Nulla
El alojamiento está en la isla, no tiene recepción ( no es un hotel), es un apartamento, y dependes de su encargado, fundamental tener internet, sino no hay manera de comunicarse con alguien para obtener las llaves. Costo de la barca para cruzar : de 6 a 24 hs (0,15 c de U$u, ) de 24 a 6 barca privada ( 2 Uds) por Pax Desayuno decente, cuando fuimos a Abu simel, nos trajeron , fruta, yogurt y queso para reemplazar el desayuno, El joven que nos atendió fue muy amable, aunque prácticamente no habla, ningún otro idioma que no sea el arabe
Fajn personál, prakticky apartmám za super cenu
Chyběla střecha u horního patra, ne že by nás to přímo ovlivňovalo, ale nevěděli jsme to před příjezdem
La posizione è perfetta, dove attracca la barchetta che porta all’isola elefantina. Vicino ci sono molti negozi nubiani. L’host é un cucciolo, si mette a disposizione per qualsiasi cosa e proporti tour convenienti.
Niente
Spacious apartment close to jetty and nice restaurants. The owner is very helpful.
Good value for money
No WiFi
مكان حلو اوى ومريح جدا و فري واي فاي و مكانه يجنن والتعامل فوق المريح حبتين تلاته
Çok iyi personel şanslı iseniz sadece size ait özel villa
great location just a short stroll from the ferry on Elephantine... quiet neighbourhood, short walk to King Jamaica, lovely apartment inside, spacious, comfy beds and nice host too
房东非常好,我们因为去阿布辛贝回来的很晚,也没有催我们退房,我能回来都已经4点了,很不好意思,感谢这么好的房东
Osama fue un gran anfitrión, estuvo atento de todos los detalles, nos recogió en el ferry, nos ayudó con alguna excursión, la nevera estaba con muchos botellines de agua que se agradece y siempre estuvo dispuesto ayudarnos en todo. El apartamento está nuevo las camas son cómodas y está todo muy limpio, la ubicación es muy buena a una calle del ferry, los desayunos estaban bien y tienes una tienda justo al lado por si necesitas comprar algo. Pasamos unos días geniales, muy bien calidad precio y pudimos descansar muy bien después del caos del Cairo. Gracias
Nada.
Clean and comfortable; pretty good value for money. Tasty and filling breakfast. WiFi was very decent. The location is very convenient, near the ferry terminal.
No soundproofing whatsoever. You can hear everything, including the call to prayer from the nearby mosque at 5am. If you try to book tours or a taxi, the host will try to overcharge you. Pay no more than 2.200 Egyptian pounds for a taxi for the day (which kept us waiting for half an hour at one of the stops, because he did not stay there to wait for us). The host initially quoted 70 Euro, which is of course excessive. That's typical behavior in Egypt but still.
The owner’s kindness and compassion to us, hospital and community members was so appreciated
Needs to offer some items such as ( trash cans, tissue drinking bottles etc
Amazing
Casa tradizionale sull’isola elefantina tutta a nostra disposizione. Situata molto vicino all’attracco dei traghetti. Camere comode e zona giorno molto ampia. Il bagno un po’ piccolo, ma sufficientemente comodo. Osama è un ragazzo gentile che gestisce con cura la struttura e ci ha aiutati con prontezza ad organizzare le nostre escursioni.
La posizione sull’isola Elefantina, il letto comodo, l’accoglienza e gentilezza dell’host
The host is very nice and kind person. He always tried to help me.
A casa fica muito próxima ao porto de desembarque. Exatamente como nas fotos. Casa extremamente limpa. Cama muito confortáveis, com bons lençóis e limpa. Osama sempre muito solicito a todo momento.
Peaceful, comfortable place surrounded by nature, right on the Nile next to the dock. Sammy is an excellent host—very responsive and helpful. Would happily stay again
El Chico está muy pendiente, las camas son cómodas y la ubicación dentro de la isla está muy bien. Para lo poco que se paga, está bien.
No tienes para cocinar realmente, solo tienes agua caliente.
Grande ricerca di accoglienza e disponibilità da parte di Osama, il proprietario. Guest house molto carina e ben tenuta situata nell'isola elefantina di Assuan, facilmente raggiungibile via barca. Letti e lenzuola molto puliti, ricca colazione tipica.
Alcuni punti della casa non erano proprio il massimo della pulizia come l'armadio o la cucina.
Appartement situé à 5min du ferry local. Accueil souriant et aimable. Petit-déjeuner salé copieux.
ce n’est pas un studio duplex c’est un appartement avec 2 chambres.. tout n’est pas disponible par rapport au descriptif : pas de cafetière, pas de mobilier extérieur , pas d’etendoir.. Il manque surtout une plaque pour cuisiner et des ustensiles (l y a un Carrefour sur l’autre rive). Il faut juste rajouter une plaque de cuisson et des assiettes et couverts, une poêle, une casserole et là ce serait un super QG pour visiter Assouan.C’est pourquoi nous avons baissé la note
The location of the property is very good overlooking the Nile. You don’t have to tread inside the narrow lanes. Osama the host was very proactive and had been asking Amit our whereabouts. The property was well cleaned and sheets were fresh and changed. The kitchen had basic cutlery and plates and kettle with coffee and tea packets. Fridge was stocked with water which is ofcourse payable on your exit. Washroom has a dryer and bedrooms sure air conditioned. To roam around the city and to do a day trip to Abu simbel, osama arranges for a guided tour at a price. He Is also kind enough to pack food for early travels. While you can also go using Superjet travels- 201150259612 also for travels to Luxor
Nothing really
Propre Calme Grande maison bien située
Estupendo anfitrión siempre atento de todo!!! La ubicación también está genial, al lado tienes un supermercado y hay un ferry público para cruzar desde la isla hasta Asuán sin complicaciones. :)
Le propriétaire est très sympathique et serviable 👍 Pas loin de l'embarcadère du ferry n°2 Bon rapport qualité prix (sauf la propreté en général) Bonnes literies et draps propres 👍 Le p'tit dej ok il est livré entre 8:30 et 9:00
C'est un appartement pas une guest House, il est 9,5 ! Pourquoi sur noté c est vraiment désagréable et franchement nul. Ce n' est pas propre 😔 , mais ce n est pas non plus très sale , c est vraiment très moyen . la bouilloire était sale la SDB est petite mais fonctionnelle malheureusement pas vraiment propre non plus le miroir n a jamais du être un jour nettoyé , tapis de la SDB je suis pas sûr qu'il soit changé après chaque réservation ! La salle principale grande et bien pratique pour mettre ses valises bon le tapis de la salle lui aussi n'a pas vu un aspirateur depuis longtemps ! Dommage p'tit dej est livré vers 9:00 Un peu tard quand on veut aller faire des visites . Sinon l' endroit est bien pour ceux qui recherchent un prix et sont moins regardant sur la propreté. Pas un mauvais séjour mais ce n' est pas ce que nous recherchions nous avons été trompé a cause des personnes qui ne donnent pas de vrai avis
Il proprietario, un ragazzo molto gentile, gli ampi spazi, la posizione sull’isola elefantina che è un dei luoghi magici di Assuan.
Migliorerei la toilette troppo piccola e con la doccia che inonda tipo Nilo prima delle dighe (c’è un bello spazio dietro la cucina non finito dove una doccia ci starebbe benissimo. E metterei una luce d’ambiente, come quella che c’è nelle camere. Comunque mi sono trovato bene. Grazie Osama.
Bed en ontbijt waren subliem.
very clean, good wifi, very close to the dock, big house
nothing, all is perfect
L'appartement est propre et fonctionnel, comme sur les photos, et l'hôte est très serviable. Très bonne experience
Les lits, la climatisation, l’appartement entier
The place is clean and well located.
The wifi didn't work
Great location, next to the ferry and shop
民宿主人親切服務好,英文溝通沒問題,就在象島最南邊的公共渡口附近。這是一間兩樓獨棟房子,二樓尚未完成,目前有一個客廳,一個流理台,一間衛浴。三個房間。適合男性或是包棟。雖然有些簡易,但是cp值算是不錯。
鎖頭不牢固,衛浴沒有乾濕分離空間也不大,女性不推薦 。
Osama is a very nice host, He tried his best to deliver the facilities
Ongoing construction is a bit of a problem,
The place is great if you are looking for a comfy, traditional and secure place in Aswan. Host was very kind, helpfull, resourcefull and attentive with us. I really recomend this place for either long or short visit to Aswan. Beds were perfect, AC and Fans were perfect, restroom ok and shower ok.
All was perfect for us. No bad comments.
La gentilezza di Osama, il proprietario dell'appartamento, ha reso il nostro soggiorno davvero speciale.
The place is very beautiful, thank you Osama. The location is excellent, very close to public transportation and just a 2-minute walk from the Nile. In front of the river, there is a nice café where you can enjoy tea by the Nile. I will definitely come back again. The place is very clean, the reception is great, and everything is well-organized and comfortable.
Osama was a good host , a food tasty and comfy bed. I highly recommend 👌 5*
There is nothing to dislike .
Beautiful views. + The owner communicated very well when we arrived in Aswan. He provided airport transfer and instructions on how to take the ferry. He met us there and greeted me my husband and 9 year old daughter. He gave us a very nice room and the view were incredible. The room was very comfortable and very clean , which I found later on that it's one of the most nice hotels i stayed. We really loved our stay here . The rooftop terrace, the rooms, the owner were all fantastic. I would highly recommend. All the best for Osama great business
All was great really
Good host very helpful Apartament was fine and the breakfast was tasty.
am removing one star because in the offer there was information that parking was free but eventually we paid 5 USD
The house is as it seems at photos. The owner is very friendly and very very helpful. You can trust this guy. He helped us to book a driver for all day long and a boat for very early in the morning. Generally he helped very much with our trip.
Good if you in a budget for the price. Host promises to clean the place up better and make some improvements like ceramic plates, cups, toaster or microwave
Wet bathroom
Excellent wifi, good lighting, good shower, lots of space, and very close to the ferry. In summary we enjoyed our stay, and it was good value.
No air conditioning in the living room, though the bedroom was fine
Fantastic location, very central. In a calm and charming bucolic island. Osama is a very key part to make this place so special. Amazing host.
I liked the entire stay
Osama is the best!!! Staying at Elephantine Island was a great experience!!
Great location, spotless rooms and amazing host. Highly recommended!
Go there by taking the south pier. The KFC spot was too far from this hotel.check the map location and choose right pier.the owner was sooooo nice,breakfast is also good. There is also a living room for rest.and fridge is wonderful
The host is the best.
Our stay at SMSM Kato Guest House in Aswan was absolutely perfect! The warm hospitality, stunning views of the Nile, and impeccably clean rooms made it a memorable experience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Aswan!
Very clean, Osama was an excellent person very friendly
Location was poor, they don’t mention you have to get a boat to the island in the description, you also have to pay for this, and it stops at certain time.
Very friendly people and very spacious and well located apartment. Very cheap for what it is.
