the hotel is located on the quiet side of the island so you don't feel the smog and dust! the ferry between the island and the city runs every 10 minutes and costs about 0.2 USD (January 2025) there is a shop and a restaurant on the island but I recommend eating at the hotel because Mr. Omar is a great cook (the food is delicious and we didn't have any stomach problems even eating raw vegetables). Mr. Omar arranged all the trips for us (Abu simbel, Phile and transport from the airport and to Luxor) at unbeatable prices and without haggling. the contact with the host is great. he replies quickly on WhatsApp.

The place is very beautiful. Very warm and cheerful. When we entered the room, the whole family was amazed by the decor and colors. The room view was wonderful. All the staff do a great job.

The owner of Pajama Hostel is by far the best host I have ever met in Egypt. She truly deserves great success because she takes care of her guests so well. The hostel is excellent overall, though there is no elevator, so it requires being able to comfortably use stairs. If you’re physically able, it’s absolutely perfect. I personally need to get in shape to climb the stairs, but I would love to visit again someday. Wishing her all the best—she is an outstanding host and truly knows how to make her guests feel welcome.

We wanted a place close to the center but not on one of the islands, as the ferry/shuttle situation can get tricky depending on the time of day. That’s how we found this accommodation, and it was perfect! Even from the booking photos, I was drawn to its cute and thoughtful design—and I can confirm it looks just as lovely in real life. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had such a welcoming vibe. The location is fantastic, nestled in a Nubian village with friendly neighbors where we always felt safe. It’s an easy walk to the public ferry for Elephantine Island, just five minutes from Carrefour, and super convenient for catching a public minibus (only 5 EGP!), tuk-tuk, or taxi. Best of all, it’s right next to the Nile—just a few steps away—where you can take a refreshing dip on hot days or enjoy stunning sunsets with feluccas sailing by. The real highlight, though, was the owner, Nia. She was incredibly helpful, always available to answer our many questions—how to get around, which ferry or bus to take, where to find the nearest shop, and even how to travel to other cities. Honestly, we would have been completely lost without her guidance in this lively, fast-paced city! She also helped us book a tour to Abu Simbel at a great price and made everything so easy. I highly recommend this stay!

Biba is such a friendly and warm host. She welcomed me into her place with open arms. Before my arrival, she had stayed in close contact with me to confirm my location. Since the hostel is located above a market and taxis cannot reach the entrance directly, Biba provided clear instructions on the nearest drop-off point. I arrived on the first day of Ramadan, a very important day of reunion for Muslims. Despite her busy schedule, Biba still took the time to check on me and ensure I had everything I needed. She is a genuinely sincere person, and I regret not having more time to chat with her. Knowing that my room was on the fourth floor, I asked Biba in advance if help was available for carrying my luggage. She clearly informed me that she could arrange someone to assist for a tip, which I gladly agreed to! Some reviews mentioned issues with luggage, but I believe that as long as you ask Biba beforehand, she will find a solution and honestly explain the situation. Upon arriving at the guesthouse, I saw the staff diligently cleaning and disinfecting the space. The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the hot water was strong in the bathroom. Since I had an early morning flight, I had to check out in the middle of the night. The staff member, Hassan, was awake and ready to assist with anything needed. He even helped carry my luggage, and I truly appreciated his help! I recommend this place to everyone. :)

It’s a beautiful place, build by a retired mother that worked as a teacher and now wants to leave a bussiness for her two dauthers. You can see the love on the place and wanting to do stuff as good as possible. They have little semiapartments with shared half kitchens (not stove but fridge, a sink, glasses and plates), the room I stayed had a balcony with beautiful views to the nile river, had airconditioning but also a fan, so you can chose. The shower has a heater, and though it has an interesting design just in the middle of the toilet, it works and is very good. The owner incredibly nice, very nice person to talk with. Her dauther is the only one doing Bird watching tours in Aswan (even being featured on the Lonely planet).

All hostels in Aswan

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Property is in a quiet area of Aswan, away from the noisy city. Crossing the street it has an exclusive area to swim into the Nile river or do some kayaking, which are rented for a cheap price. They also offer water and soft drinks and a small breakfast included. You can easily spend many days relaxing in the hostel, without even leaving to do attractions.
