The iconic location and legendary charm of the Old Cataract speak for themselves, and the quality of the Sofitel Legend brand is absolutely top-notch. During my trip to Egypt, I stayed at several excellent hotels, including Mena House, Rixos, and Waldorf Astoria, but for me, the rooms here were by far the most impressive. The balcony was incredible, offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the Nile. The entire hotel is simply stunning. The service was also exceptional. The only minor drawback was perhaps the somewhat limited breakfast selection. Otherwise, everything else was perfect!
The room is large, clean and tidy. The shower water is the largest since arriving in Egypt, which is a good comment. Google Maps will misguide navigation, so be sure to keep your eyes open to find it.
Amazing time ,basic rooms ,but clean beds towels. Hot shower and the best view but 100% of the credit for our amazing time goes, to helma the manager and his staff especially khalid who was there for everything we needed , Helmy went above and beyond driving us to the sights for less than.a taxi , but the most amazing was. The Nile under our Balcony full of. Feluka boats to take you to ancient temples and delicious waterside cafes and historic islands this hotel might look nothing.but if you want the true Nubian experience of aswanth8s 8s the place for you ,basic breakfast of bread honey eggs and cheese with tomatoes for the price amazing ,, Linda and ivy uk x
The hotel is right by the Nile River. There is a large area full of his homes. It is a bit like a more distinctive homestay. It is in Nubian style, and there are many distinctive decorations in the room.
The hotel is located in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is deserted and remote, so it is also very quiet. The hotel we booked to pick us up from Cairo to Aswan was charged $55. It took about 40 minutes to drive. I felt cheated. In fact, you can call a taxi directly from the airport. It is not as chaotic as it is said on the Internet.
The breakfast in the hotel is not bad. The fried egg is very delicious. There is a waiter who is Nubian. He is very nice to me. He will take the initiative to help me carry things and remind me to pay attention to the steps. It is the most sincere and friendly service I feel in my trip to Egypt. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask his name. When I left, I wanted to find him to tip but couldn't find him.
The most important thing in this hotel is not food, though it is perfect, and not even a stunning view from the windows - sincere location and readiness of Ahmed Shauki - the manager and host of the hotel, to help its guests in everything - that 's what makes Villa Misk the best!
Oh my goodness, I don’t even know where to start from. My experience at The Zen wellness resort was exceptional. Food,ambiance,vibes,services and even staff members were 10/10. I would definitely recommend for anyone especially if you are into relaxing well during your vacation l.
A friend of mine went to Nubian with a tour group before and felt that it was not fun and the conditions were primitive, but the experience of traveling independently is completely different. It is like drinking water for a pony crossing the river. We all have the experience of staying in luxury hotels. This time, I mustered up the courage to travel instead of vacation, hoping to experience the local customs and customs to a certain extent, and to see the world from a different perspective... My phone fell, and the Tuktuk guy immediately took it back to find it. The kind Nubian girl reminded me in time to prevent me from losing my passport. The phone fell at the counter at the airport and was promptly informed by the kind ground staff... Basam of the hotel helped us arrange a chartered boat from the east bank of the Nile to the hotel directly after going down the river for dozens of minutes. I watched the moon and stars on the top of the boat, and drifted on the quiet Nile River under the moonlight. These are special experiences that are not available on XHS... There is also Nubian dance in the hotel at night! The breakfast is also rich and the scenery is beautiful! Breakfast on the Nile!
I booked this accommodation when I stayed in Aswan as a stopover on my way to the Abu Simbel Temples.
Although it's located far from the city center, there were no particular issues with my stay.
The staff were very kind and took care of everything, from booking tours to late check-in and preparing breakfast for us to take home.
The room I stayed in was also very clean, and the shower
had plenty of hot water.
It also had air conditioning, so I was able to stay comfortably.
I highly recommend it if you're staying in Aswan.

JjzycnThis is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village.
First of all, you have to be able to tolerate:
1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel.
2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide).
3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it.
4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel.
5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person...
What did we get here?
1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am.
2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic.
3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic.
4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles.
5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay.
GGuest UserWe had to extend our stay to three nights as our cruise dates were changed. The manager was so kind and offered us an upgrade. I’m truly grateful for that because the view from our room was amazing. It’s pretty hot during the day, so we stayed indoor during the day and went out later on in the afternoon.
The only downside of the hotel is its distance from downtown Aswan. There are no stores or shops close by, so do plan your meals ahead of time or you can have lunch or dinner at the rooftop of the hotel. The entrance of the hotel is kind of hidden. You need to walk down a set of steep stairs to get into the building, then to a different floor to check in.
The room had everything we needed for the stay. It’s quite spacious and had a fridge, TV and and big closet. There is a bathtub in the bathroom but the shower area doesn’t have a door. The AC works great and kept us nice and cool.
We had breakfast everyday, and the content is pretty similar to all other Egyptian hotels but it’ll keep you full if you finish everything.
If you don’t like the hustle bustle near the center of Aswan and don’t mind the walk or taking cab, this would be a good option for a quiet, peaceful stay with a great view of the Nile.
GGuest UserWhat you see is what you get, very cute place. The whole village is super cute in dopamine style!  Breakfast is delicious, you can eat on the balcony and the scenery is particularly good, directly see the Nile!  The sister of the homestay also took me to touch the little crocodile for free! Super experience! This small village is especially suitable for hanging out and relaxing for a leisurely day!
PPuladeaimitazhuangjiaA very good value hotel! Upon check-in, they consider the dryness of guests and offer three drinks: one with isatis root, one with plum flavor, and one with a sweet and sour flavor that's incredibly delicious. After check-in, a driver will drive you to your room. I had originally thought that the nicer hotels in Aswan were expensive, so I planned to book a more modest hotel to make do with my visit to Abu Simbel the next day. However, this hotel far exceeded my expectations. The scenery is stunning, with direct views of the Nile. Since we had to go to Abu Simbel early that morning and couldn't have breakfast, the front desk staff prepared a takeout breakfast for us. The only downside is that it's about a 20-minute drive from the city center.

GGuest UserWe really loved this beautiful, authentic hotel.
The manager was wonderful and assisted us with everything we needed. He arranged a transfer to the Abu Simbel Temple. Since we had a very early departure, he kindly provided us with a takeaway breakfast and also prepared it for us an hour earlier on the day of our flight. We are very grateful for this.
About the hotel: This is a historic building that belonged to a Nubian family. In the 1960s, it was converted into a hotel.
The restaurant in the lounge area offers a wonderful view of the Nile. Across the street is a path lined with souvenir shops. We also had a delicious dinner at the hotel restaurant. The most important thing is the quiet room. You can relax and sleep wonderfully.
We initially stayed in a very cozy and lovely two-story room (bed on the second floor, bath downstairs), but it was very hot and stuffy at night, and the air conditioner vibrated loudly when running, making it difficult to sleep, so we had to turn it off that night.
We then moved to another room, which consisted of two areas—a lobby and a bedroom. It was very spacious and cool.
In the area, you can rent a kayak or boat, buy a boat ticket, cruise down the Nile, visit a crocodile farm, or go camel riding.
Overall, we really enjoyed it. It was one of the few places where it was truly cozy, peaceful, and quiet. We want to come back again.
