Hotels near Seheil Island

"The staff were exceptionally polite, friendly and attentive, always going out of their way to ensure guests felt comfortable. A great example of this was when they kindly prepared a packed breakfast for us as we had to leave at 4am for the Abu Simbel tour. The food was excellent, with both breakfast and dinner offering a wide variety of delicious options, much of it traditionally cooked in tagine pots. The hotel also stands out for its eco friendly approach, using solar energy to provide hot water. Located in a traditional Nubian village, the hotel offers a genuinely authentic atmosphere. The area is filled with stalls selling local crafts, souvenirs and spices, and it felt incredibly safe, with many vendors even leaving their goods outside overnight highlighting the safety and honesty of the local people.

"Wonderful location and good service. But rooms should be cleaner."

"Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and had a wonderful stay. We were upgraded from a standard room with a garden view to a suite with a patio overlooking the Nile, which was a lovely, newly-renovated room with a stunning view. Very clean, air conditioning worked great, black-out shades. Breakfast buffet was solid and had a lot of different options (e.g., omelet station, yogurt bar, fruit, some hot Egyptian dishes, rolls and pastries, meats/cheeses, pancakes, etc.). Dinner was a la cart and was delicious. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating, especially the restaurant staff. The car transportation to/from Aswan airport was a bit expensive relative to normal transportation prices in this area at $35, but the driver was great and on-time. I'm not sure how the garden rooms are at this property, but I was very happy with my stay!"

"AC in rooms was efficient, so was the hot water and bathroom. Room cleanliness was adequate. Bathroom amenities may be improved with a few more hooks. Breakfast could be enhanced with local lava beans and bread or mollusks and local cheeses. The cold cut in breakfast menu is a waste. Otherwise omelettes were tasty"

"Beautiful place, a bit hard to get to with lots of dust. You need to be adventurous - not for older more sensitive people. Hotel very colorful and beautiful, breakfast best I’ve had in Egypt. Overall good experience. "

"Great staff, the hotel is a short drive from all ppints of interest. I want to especially thank Reham from the concierge, she was excellent and had great communication. She made the stay very smooth and relaxed. "

"Excellent typical Hotel located on the Nile. If you want to stay quite and away from Aswan City center, this is the place to be. Food very nice"

"We had a wonderful stay at Kato Waidi Nubian House. The staff were incredibly polite, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They arranged all our transportation smoothly and made our stay completely stress-free. The traditional grilled dinner was excellent and felt very authentic. We highly recommend staying a couple of days to experience and explore the more traditional side of Nubian life."

"Friendly staff. Walking distance to Corniche, Nubia museum & restaurants. Great view of the Nile. Good hot water, good breakfast. Lovely, open air rooftop restaurant (if you're not there in January like we were). Wifi slow or nonexistant on our tablets. We never could get any wifi on our iphones. Room safe not bolted down. Room thermastat seemed to have a mind of its own. No indoor eating option. Breakfast was 8 degrees celsius and very windy. Everyone was freezing. (We found out on our last day that if you manage to get the one table in the NW corner, it is in the sun and is not as cold as the rest). "
