This is a really nice place. The hotel is decorated in traditional Nubian style in a quiet place on Elephantine Island. Our stay was great. The room was very clean. But the main advantage of the hotel is its owner Omar. He is a very helpful, nice and tactful person. We arrived in Aswan at night and he kindly met us on his boat. He also helped us with booking a transfer to Abu Simbel at a good price and saw us off early in the morning to the minivan, giving us breakfast for the road. I recommend this place wholeheartedly and I think you will feel good here.

Super cozy and homely hostel with friendly owner Biba who's such a pleasure to meet in person and chat with! I stayed for 2 nights here, from 15 Nov to 16 Nov 2025. It has made my stay at Aswan very memorable, for all the wonderful people I met here. The common area is spacious, tidy and comfortable with a big sofa to rest, recharge and socialize (and a power socket to charge your electronic devices), the bathroom is good with hot water, and the room and bed are clean too. The place is newly refurbished and there is daily housekeeping so you will always find the common area, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom in good condition and cleanliness. I slept soundly on the nights I stayed here. Great location and beautiful view outside the window. It's right along the corniche, with KFC just opposite the road, the public ferry not far from it, and the train station 10-15 minutes walk away (if you plan to take a train from Aswan to Luxor). The whole vibe here at Pajama Hostel is chill and laid-back and you won't go wrong with it!

The owner is truly approachable and kind even though she manages the hostel by herself. The hostel was brand new and the room was so clean. There was also laundry service with reasonable price.

The place is amazing, a fantastic location that is unparalleled in all of Aswan. The service is excellent. The reception is more than wonderful. The owner of the house pays attention to all the details. There is also a tuk-tuk in the hotel that you can use to take to the main street. I will come back again.

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.

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They gave me plenty of recommendations and did not overcharge for water (like many hostels and hotels do). The area felt safe as staff as well as locals from the village would assist if need be.

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.

Great owner who was very helpful, the room was nice, and I loved the view from the rooftop! The hostel is on the island and is very easy and cheap to reach by public ferry (takes 5mins). Walking around the island is also fun. Check out King Jamaica for some good food. :)
