    There was construction during my stay which I was not aware until my visit.

    Family-owned guesthouse conveniently located near the ferry station. The room was basic with comfortable bed. The family was very friendly, nice and helpful.

    The air conditioning was noisy in my room during my stay on the first floor.

    The hotel locates on elephantine island, with the easy position of one minute walk after getting off the ferry from the east bank. The house is a three-storey high of building with terrace on first floor. Guests can sit on it viewing the beauty of the Nile. The proprietors live on ground floor. Guests can go up and down stares directly without bothering the proprietors. The lady speaks good English, and so does her daughter, which makes communication easy.

    The shower doesn’t have any separation from the rest of the bathroom so it makes the toilet and the whole floor wet when you use it

    nothing to complain, just some mosquitos even there are protections in windows, but they are in everywhere in the island.

    we stayed comfortably 3 nights. location is very good, one minute to the port. room and bathroom are big and clean. there is a terrace you can sit and chill (of course with a nice view of the Nile) good service, they also offered to clean after 2 days. totally recommend! extra thanks to zeynep and her mum for helping us with flight tickets printing in the middle of the night 🙏 if i visit again, i would definitely stay.

    outside area is not so clean but the guesthouse can't do anything about that as this is the general condition of the island

    very clean family run guest house in bank of the elefanteen island in ASWAN , middle of the nile river. Manage by the super-friendly Nubian family who gives help for any issue without any hesitation. we had their bfast and its beyond our expectations from this little guest house, I took all 5 rooms they had for my group and all rooms are very clean, no issues. Definitely, i will ret back to this place with my group soon. thanks for everyone prasad perera

    We loved our stay at Nuba Dool. It's a very clean, perfectly situated,right by the ferries, guest house run by a lovely lady Amira. She was always ready to help, gave us good tips about Aswan, arranged a felucca trip in the last minute with always a smile on her face. And also, the breakfast was amazing. We would definitely recommend

    The place was amazing, nothing bad. I wish I would have known about the black market of Egyptian pounds, bring USD/EUR with you to exchange with the locals, you get a much better deal than with ATMs

    Great room with balcony, views of the Nile. Bathroom outside of the room but still private. Nice salon shared with 2 other rooms, large sofa and fridge/freezer. Amazing terrace on 3rd floor to hangout. Cleaned common spaces everyday. 2min walk from the public ferry, easy to find. The locals on the island are incredibly friendly and ready to help without asking for tips like other places in Egypt. Great Nubian hospitality, hosts answer any questions/doubts you have about visiting locations in the area.

    I don't think there is actually laundry. Not a huge deal, but we were planning to do laundry there and weren't able to. :)

    Nuba Dool Guesthouse was a wonderful place to stay! It was clean, the room was comfy and communication was easy! Our late night flight got delayed by a few hours to Aswan, and the ferries stop regularly running after midnight, so we should have done airport transfer through Nuba Dool to make that aspect run more smoothly. (Tip for future travellers)
