This beautiful guesthouse hosted by the most wonderful lady has an incredible view of the Nile. The facilities are clean and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and she was kind enough to make us a superb dinner too as we were too tired from our travels to go out. The lovely host is responsive and happy to organise cheap transport for you to go wherever you need in Aswan. It might seem out of the way but the location is perfect for all the sights. I would 100% return here to enjoy the beautiful view, the delicious home cooked food, and the company of the wonderful hostess.

Set in Al Madinah, 3.3 km from Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, Aya Hostel offers rooms with air conditioning. Among the facilities at this property are a shared lounge and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Knowledge Economic City is 7.4 km from the hostel and Qiblatain Mosque is 8.1 km away. I just had an amazing stay at Aya Hostel, and I highly recommend it. This property is ideally located just a short walk from Masjid Al Nabawi, making it incredibly convenient for anyone visiting Madinah. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the clean and inviting atmosphere of the hostel. What truly makes Aya Hostel special are the wonderful brothers who run it, Mr. Salah, Mr. Shahata, and Mr. Islam. They are respectful, helpful, and always wearing a smile that brightens your day. Their warmth and laughter create an uplifting environment that makes you feel at home. They provide excellent guidance on everything you need to know in Madinah, from directions to the Masjid Nabawi to recommendations for shops with great prices and laundry services. They are also a fantastic resource for navigating transport between cities, including bus and train schedules. The hospitality doesn’t end there! They serve delightful tea and coffee, always paired with enjoyable conversations and a great sense of humor. These brothers truly feel like family, and their genuine care for guests is evident. Whenever I return to Madinah, I know Aya Hostel will be my first choice, In shaa Allah. A big thank you to Mr. Salah, Mr. Shahata, and Mr. Islam for making my stay unforgettable!
