We had a great experience overall. The property is very nice and clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the views of the Nile are beautiful. The staff were outstanding, the food was excellent, and breakfast was truly a feast. They also helped us arrange a private driver for our daily excursions. We will definitely stay here again.
First the bad. It's remote. Arrange your transportation with the hotel/tour service ahead of time. If you find yourself stuck, a tuk tuk ride to/from the paved road is 150-200 pounds.
Now the good, YOU WILL LOVE this place. Food is excellent, vibe is chill. Wife and I could spend a week there and never leave.
Very beautiful hotel, staff are very kind and accommodating. The food is absolutely delicious. It should be noted, however, that from Aswan airport to the property will run you 900-950 EGP as of April 2026. The property is located at the top of a mountain and is very difficult to get to, and taxi drivers/hotel shuttle take advantage of this. It was not a nice surprise after getting off the plane and trying to find a taxi for over an hour.
Hotel is very nice, but I would recommend they fix the showers to not leak so much water. There are also quite a number of birds which make the balconies dirty, which is unavoidable unfortunately.
Overall, if this is what you are looking for, considering the isolated area, beautiful scenery, and price, it was a nice experience.
We had a wonderful stay at Kato Dool Wellness Resort! The staff were very kind and accommodating — they even allowed us to check out late because our flight was delayed, which we truly appreciated.
The view from the top of the mountain is absolutely amazing, especially at sunrise overlooking the Nile river. Since the resort is located uphill, we had to take a tuktuk to go up and down to the village. The ride can be a bit bumpy and dusty, which some people might not enjoy, but it didn’t bother us at all and added a touch of adventure to the experience.
Overall, it was a relaxing and memorable stay.
So goooooood! Stunning property with lovely staff. Very attentive and friendly throughout. A little oasis you could really never leave for a few days :)
A beautiful hotel perched high on the banks of the Nile.
The staff are very welcoming and the rooms are superbly decorated.
Thank you for your warm welcome.
I love this place and the staff so much! I almost cried when I left because I felt like I had been staying with family. Hotel is absolutely gorgeous and so many handmade pieces. Location is on top of the hill and beautiful.
We had an excellent stay at Kato Dool to experience Nubian culture. The hotel staff was excellent in communicating and picking us from airport. The room was beautiful and the best part was the food. We had dinner and breakfast both were excellent. They also arranged the drop off to our cruise.
Its a lovely & colorful property, managed by some great people. Its located a bit far from the village below, but the ride to the property is worth it once you arrive and see the place. Lovely views of the Nile there. Also if you walk up at sunset, you get lovely views of it in d sand dunes.
The place might be a bit in the middle of nowhere, but it is an absolute jewel. Incredibly well decorated, it is like no other hotel I have been.
The staff was lovely and very accommodating, we arrived late because of a plane delay and they arranged a lovely meal for use despite the fact that the kitchen was closed.
The beds were very comfortable.
This hotel is heaven on earth! The staff is wonderful. The location has an amazing view. If you are looking gor an escape from crazy, busy tourist sites, this is it. Beautiful pool, gorgeous rooms, fantastic executive chef and staff. Everyone was so nice. Miss them all already. Kudos to all!
Yes, like others have said, it's far from things. But honestly, not that far. The TukTuk ride up and down is very bumpy and shaky. I found it fun but others with health or physical issues will not manage well on them. I would suggest that the hotel get a van when they can budget for one.
Property property design is amazing and the view is breathtaking. The only two concerns is it’s far away from downtown Aswan plus the roads to get to the hotel are in a very bad shape and taxi refuses to go there. Dogs in the area are very noisy and bark a lot. If it’s your first time in Aswan, I would recommend you staying in downtown.
Beatiful and aesthetic location. Great view of the river Nile and city of Aswan. The staff is super freiendly and helpful. Wonderful experience. Great location to take instagrammable pictures and videos.
Only pain point - there was no WiFi, as their internet reception was being affected by wind. Need to invest in better infrastructure for connectivity services.
But everything else was wonderful.
Kato Dool is the kind of place you don’t even want to review so you can keep it all to yourself. It is pure magic. Not only is it a beautiful location in the water, but the resort is brand new and everything is sparkling clean and perfect. Staff were so nice and made everything so easy for us. I’ve already recommended to everyone I know and we look forward to coming back on a yearly basis
This is a lovely and unique property. The hotel itself is a piece of art. The staff is kind and welcoming. The view from there is absolutely amazing! But it’s a hard to find place. There are no signs or paved roads to get to the hotel and as this is a new property most of the people on the village don’t know where it is. But once you get there, it’s worth the challenge to find it!
I love this property. It was authentic to the Nubian people who are from Aswan. The staff was accomadating and helpful. Food was delicious. Breakfast was more like a feast. Authentic Egyptian breakfast. Better to have the hotel send transportation from the airport. It is difficult to find as it is really off the beaten path. Sat and watched the sun rise from my room. Beautiful.
The property is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are decorated very lovely. Our room view overlooking the Nile was magnificent. The hotel is quite a distance away from the Nubian city. The ride to the hotel is unpleasant. However, when you reach the hotel, it is with it. The spa services were not available during our stay that would have been nice to have. The power went out several times and it was very hot and uncomfortable. The staff were very accommodating and kind.
My father and I very much enjoyed our stay at Kato Dool. The staff is warm and welcoming, the atmosphere/architecture is beautiful, the views are unbeatable and the food is out of this world. This is an excellent hotel run by true professionals.
That said, I think it should be made clear on the listing that the terrain surrounding the hotel is very rugged and the transportation provided by the facility to attractions is not for everyone. I personally didn’t mind the tuktuk, but it was hard on my 77 year old father.
Overall, however, I rate this hotel very highly and would definitely come back. I give it my highest recommendation and want to thank the staff for their hospitality.
