    The Nubian palace is the most friendly place we have stayed in Egypt over the past two weeks, the airport transfer was very helpful, the grilled chicken was very very delicious. The room was clean with strong air conditioning, the breakfast was also nice. On the day of check-out, the driver brought us sugar cane juice on the way to the Nile Cruise. Really grateful for that. So I would strongly recommend Nubian palace, so nice, so friendly and so helpful.

    It would be nice if when we have tours early morning we get something healthy to eat in our breakfast box like fresh sliced fruit instead of bread. However, I appreciate the effort to provide breakfast boxes when we have flights. This act alone shows how much the staff cares.

    The manager of this hotel is amazing! His kindness and care to his staff and his customers truly made my experience in all of Egypt incredibly impactful!!! I went on a tour with him twice, learned a little but of Arabic meant his family, and visited his old home. Thank you for making my trip to Egypt so impactful.

    It is location in a hill and a van can't get in so we need to walk up hill in the sand. However, the staff help us carry luggages so no problem.

    Location is right in the Nubian Village. It has a nice view to Nile river. Design and decoration is beautiful. Food is good especially beef kebab. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

    The place is very well decorated. In a nice and tranquil spot. Good food and comfy rooms. The view of the Nile is very relaxing and can make you feel like you are somewhere special. The staff is amazing and very friendly, one of the best people I have ever met. Idris made us feel like home and we got along like he was an old friend of us. Nubian people are very friendly and it was also nice to learn some aspects of their unique culture. Definetely recommend this pleace to anyone. Far from the chaos of the city centre.

    The only less than desirable part was the shower setup. Having the toilet so close to shower head didn't give much space for me (personally), and water tends to get everywhere. Water was warm though and I was easily able to do what needed to be done.

    Everything from my room and the aesthetic of the space itself, to the general location, staff, and food. The environment was incredibly welcoming and I felt very at home thanks to the hospitality of the staff.

    Nothing that we did not like!

    We really enjoyed our stay at Nubian palace. Saeeda, Ahmed, Mai and team are great and communicative and responsive. The place is beautifully painted and decorated, with a lovely ambience, rooms comfortable, food is delicious and they are very helpful and supportive in organising trips and tours both locally in Aswan but also beyond to Abu simbel and further away temples as well. The location is great for accessing Aswan and locations like the Philae temple. The guides they arranged were informative and helpful. The free local Nubian tour and experience was fantastic. Our children loved it as well. Highly recommend.

    The only downside was that the shower was just built on the wall of the bathroom without an enclosure, so the whole floor of the bathroom gets wet. But we didnt really have a problem with it, they provide a swiper to clean everything up, so its just one extra step. And the shower itself was really good.

    We had a really amazing stay at nubian palace. The place has an amazing view from the terrace, where you can sit whenever you want and wont be urged to buy something or something like that. I also really liked how calm it was. The noises of the city are gone, so you can really relax after a day in the city or a busy sightseeing. I espacially want to thank Ahmed, who is always there, always smiling and providing just the nicest and best service ever. We really felt at home because of him. He also made sure we get a really nice boat driver, so ask him for this. The driver was chill, calm, provided tea and snacks for every single trip and didnt hassle even once. He even waited for us at every single destination so we wouldnt have to wait for him or call him. The Breakfast is AMAZING. We could never ever eat everything. There was egg, flat bread, a salad, a local kind of cheese, two nubian dips for the bread that you could also eat just by itself and fried potatos. They also make you water with lemons or other stuff in it, which is safe to drink. They say they detoxyfied it, i dont know exactly what they did but none of us ever got any problems from it and neither did any of the other guests. For dinner we just stayed on the terrace, where they serve a variety of meals. A lot of guests from other houses came over every day for dinner so i am going to let that speak for itself. The rooms are pretty, everything seems like you live in a smaller version of the village around the hotel and everybody has their own house. There is air conditioning in every room, the beds are comfortable and everything was clean. Over all i can really recommend to stay here and enjoy the amazing place.

    Nothing!

    The Nubians are such genuine, warm and welcoming people, a breath of fresh air from other parts of Egypt. For the first time in Egypt, we didn't feel like the owner/staff were out to sell us goods/services we didn't want, or to make a quick buck out of us. They included a free tour to show us around their lively village, and were always so accommodating and eager to help with all aspects of our stay (laundry, dining in, airport transfer) etc.

Also, the food served here was so good, some of our favourite meals in Egypt:) We definitely recommend!

    The location for us was ideal, aswan is reachable either by taxi or a boat, but we didn't mind been a bit further away as we could escape the crowds. The hospitality was great and they were always very keen to assist us with organizing trips or transportation to other places. We took the free tour of the nubian village which is offered and really enjoy it and had fun learning Arabic and nubian. The rooms and in whole the place is very traditional and distinguishes from just a normal hotel. Absolutely loved the place

    Friendly approach of the entire staff. Great people! Breakfest exceeded our expectation and I think som amount oif food is not needed. I would rather give people some option to order per their peronal needs.
