The manager is nice. He offered us breakfast boxes when he knew we went to Abu Simbel in the morning. Nice guy. Highly recommend this place.

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!

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!

My stay at this hostel was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had while traveling! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at home. The staff is incredibly friendly, always smiling, and ready to help with anything—whether it’s giving recommendations on places to visit or assisting with booking tours and activities. The hostel itself is very clean and well-maintained. The rooms are comfortable, the beds are great, and everything is organized to make the stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. There are fantastic common areas where guests can relax and socialize, creating a great atmosphere, especially for solo travelers. The location is perfect, close to major attractions and public transportation, making it very convenient to explore the city. The tours and activities arranged by the hostel were also a highlight—they were a great way to discover new places and connect with other travelers from around the world. Overall, my stay here exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a clean, social, and well-located place to stay. I will definitely be coming back in the future!”**

The hotel is very well located on Elefantine Island which is easy to access by boat. The best thing about the place is the terrace with the amazing view on the Nile! Perfect for the sunset.

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. :)
