    The host of Kony Nubian may be the smartest host I ever seen in my trip of Egypt. Without losing any detail, he knows how to arrange guests’ dwelling to maximise their benefit . Also, he could read guests’mind. That’s the reason why I feel like a VIP in the period of staying in Abu Simbel. No doubt, the quality of the “guest house” is the best one I experienced in my trip of Egypt.

    During my tour through Egypt I saw the inside of many hotel rooms. I have had very expensive rooms and also very cheap rooms. Traveled from Cairo to Luxor nasr Dendera to Aswan to Abu Simble to Hurghada. But one room that I remember most is Erki Guest House. The owner and his family are extremely hospitable and helpful with everything you need to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Highly recommended for everyone, especially if you want to experience the warm hospitality of this Egyptian family. Super.

    Good choice traveling on car. Very nice and quiet place next to the lake. Small, family runned hotel , green, clean well maintained territory. Host is very helpful, ready to fill all your requests. Very good food for brekfast and dinner – local fresh fish is recommended. Room is bright, very clean bed linen and towels. Quiet air heater to the cold winter nights. Abu Simbel is very clean and pleasant town.

    It is relatively far from the center and difficult to find it, because a resort was bulilt between the camp and the road. That is why there are quiet and comfortable seating areas. The hosts are nice. The lake shore is beautiful, the cleanliness is like Egyptian. Beer available. Hooray.

    The host was super friendly and picked me up from the bus station. Maybe because he was worried I otherwise would walk out on him, but more about that in the negatives. Plenty of free fresh fruit and bottled water was provided and the breakfast was good.

    Excellent option for a one night stay to visit the Temples of Abu Simbel. It is an excellent option for the money you pay, it's more like a guest house than a hotel. It was clean and quiet, bathroom is shared, very close to where you need to take the bus to/from Aswan. 15 minutes walking distance to Abu Simbel Temples.

    The host was taking care of all our needs during day. The place is owned by nice guy, proud of his family with 2 daughters. His approach is that guest need to feel like second place to home, when they come and visit his place. Walking distance both to temple and city centre, where there is the best Nubian restaurant I would strongly recommend for food.

    The guesthouse is located in a quiet side street, from where you can walk to the 2 temples of Abu Simbel in around 20 minutes. The host is very friendly and generous, for example bringing coffee/ tea or even something to eat at his own cost. He takes much care that you feel very well and I liked it much to talk with him. The room is clean, the bed good, but you should not expect a luxurious room. If you arrive by plane there is bus transfer to your accomodation free of charge.
