A great place along the Nile

The hotel was exactly what I wanted. Our room was comfortable and interesting, the people were lovely and helpful. The food was tasty and the view spectacular. Some of our taxi and tuktuk drivers needed help finding the correct hotel, but we were not in such a rush that it was a problem.

If you want to see another side of Egypt on your trip, spend some time in the Nubian area near Aswan to experience a different culture. The Kato Waidi Nubian guest house is rustic, colorful, and full of friendly staff and great food.

I stayed there for 6 nights with my dog. We liked the service in everyway, evereyone always took care of us. The employees are very relaxed and helpful. They also help to make tour accommodations and whatever you need really. The only thing I would change is the loud knocking doors for tours in the am, they woke me up 3 nights and was tired all day from it.

I loved everything about Kato Waidi Nubian House. It is in the heart of a Souk, as well as having access to boats to take along the Nile for various outings and sites. The hotel restaurant is outdoors and is also located on the bank of the Nile, which changes with the hour in its beauty and stillness. The food here is fantastic and very reasonably priced. The hotel is beautiful and the room and bed were comfortable and clean, colorful. The whole area is colorful and the Nubian people are laid back, kind and proud of their heritage. It was a great, great pleasure to stay here, and I will come back. I want to particularly thank Ahmed, the day manager, for his excellent listening skills, and his thoughtful responses to my questions and my desires. He arranged several outings for me, by boat and by car, as is his job, and catered the tours to my uniqueness which I am very thankful for. If you come you should consult with him and he will listen closely and appreciate you, and guide you in the right directions as well as giving you many options to choose from. He is very hospitable and a great representative of the hotel and of the people here in Aswan. I have nothing negative to say. The place was like heaven to me. Thank you Ahmed!

Endroit hors du temps

Très bonne place avec vue sur le Nil, chambre propre, personnel aux petits soins. Restaurant sur place, très bon et très accessible. L’hôtel offre des services de taxi pour venir vous chercher à l’aéroport, visiter Philae ainsi qu’un bateau pour aller à Assouan et se baigner dans le Nil (très belle expérience!) Ne pas hésiter à négocier les prix des excursions 😉

You can stay in Nubian village

Nice hotel to stay in Nubia village which is a must-visit place when you come to Aswan. The only difficult thing was, the only way to get to the hotel is by car or by expensive boat.

The Nubian Village was fun, but neither of us were keen on shopping. But the hotel itself was very nice and a different experience for us. The food was wonderful and the staff very helpful and very friendly.

This is a super unique and fun property! We would definitely recommend anyone staying in/around Aswan to stay here! It’s a bit out of the way, but that makes it off the beaten path. Big cars can’t get back to it so we did need to walk a little ways to get there, but it is worth it! The rooms are beautifully painted, with a cool-looking brick dome ceiling and a cute balcony that overlooks the Nile. The restaurant has AMAZING food. We would recommend you eat more than just breakfast here. All the staff are so nice. The one downside is the wifi isn’t super strong in the rooms - it kept cutting in & out, but it does work well in the restaurant area. The manager is also very kind and helped us book a private driver to Abu Simbel. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend you stay at this place!

HAPPIEST HOTEL ON THE NILE!

Kato Waidi House is a boutique place and the dhappiest hotel on the NIle. This house is smack dab in the middle of the action. It is literally on the nile and a man named Fufu takes you everywhere in his boat...very cool. The outdoor dining is not only delicious, beautiful and food is love here! One night a group of local musicians came and everyone danced....The rooms are happy, colorful, so clean its crazy, comfortable, super good AC, and the best mulit task bathroom ever (one room shower, sink, W/C all in one. Love that. OK, the best thing is the hotel is located in a Nubian village and how cool is that...fun shopping, lots of good loot. I give this place : 100%, A++++

Peaceful stay in Nubian village

Nestled in the colourful Nubian village just beside the Nile, Kato Waidi is truly a place of ultimate calm and peace. Our room was spacious, east facing and offered superb view of the river. The manager and most other staff speak good English and helped us with boat tour and transfer to train station. The breakfast was super tasty, fresh and came with big portion size. They even packed us breakfast boxes for our early morning tour to Abu Simbel. Wifi signal was also fair throughout the property. We recommend strongly.

숙소까지 들어가기가 매우 힘들었어요. 투어를 할때마다 투어 픽업 장소까지 35분 이상 걸리고 아침에는 택시 잡기도 힘들었어요 화장실 컨디션이 좋지 않았고 웰컴드링크도 없고 아침 런치박스도 인원수를 직접 체크하지 않으면 1개만 나옵니다. 밤에는 마켓이 열려서 볼거리는 있었습니다. 숙소는 겉이 예쁩니다.
