We liked the uniqueness of this area, Nubian Village, and the colorful of the properities. We stayed for two nights. The hostel is located on the Nile river that provides scenery views of the surrounding nature. The food was good. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. The only issue, there was no internet in the room, just in the common area. Overall, the experience worths it.

If you want to see the colourful way the Nubian people live come here. The rooms are built in the traditional style and all painted in bright colurs and spotless clean. We had a minor problem.with the power and within minutes they moved us to an upgraded room and could not apologise enough. Each room is unique. The food is basic but well cooked and cheap. Give our regards to all.the staff

Kato Waidi exceeded our expectations. We were greeted with utmost warmth and friendliness. All the staff members were respectful and kind. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. We booked our stay through Expedia whom which caused a huge misunderstanding but the hotel staff were so calm and professional while trying to settle the issue. Nevertheless, it did not ruin our stay but simply highlighted how amazing this hotel is. The view and ambience of the place made our stay truly magical. Thank you.

I stayed there for 6 nights with my dog. We liked the service in everyway, evereyone always took care of us. The employees are very relaxed and helpful. They also help to make tour accommodations and whatever you need really. The only thing I would change is the loud knocking doors for tours in the am, they woke me up 3 nights and was tired all day from it.

Great Stay. Great Food. Great Location.

The Nubian Village was fun, but neither of us were keen on shopping. But the hotel itself was very nice and a different experience for us. The food was wonderful and the staff very helpful and very friendly.

You can stay in Nubian village

Nice hotel to stay in Nubia village which is a must-visit place when you come to Aswan. The only difficult thing was, the only way to get to the hotel is by car or by expensive boat.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Booked two rooms. One of the rooms had a thousand dead and alive bugs all over the room. And the bedding had a large stain on the sheets. When we spoke with the owner he sprayed poison in the room and said wait 2 minutes then you can go in. I told him it was unsafe to stay in the room due to the poison they sprayed which would be all over the bedding and in the air. Asked for another room and he said their was none available. We ended up having to rebook at another hotel a hour after we arrived at this hotel. Hotel refused to refund the money. Avoid booking at this hotel. Disgusting. Poor customer service.

Peaceful stay in Nubian village

Nestled in the colourful Nubian village just beside the Nile, Kato Waidi is truly a place of ultimate calm and peace. Our room was spacious, east facing and offered superb view of the river. The manager and most other staff speak good English and helped us with boat tour and transfer to train station. The breakfast was super tasty, fresh and came with big portion size. They even packed us breakfast boxes for our early morning tour to Abu Simbel. Wifi signal was also fair throughout the property. We recommend strongly.

HAPPIEST HOTEL ON THE NILE!

Kato Waidi House is a boutique place and the dhappiest hotel on the NIle. This house is smack dab in the middle of the action. It is literally on the nile and a man named Fufu takes you everywhere in his boat...very cool. The outdoor dining is not only delicious, beautiful and food is love here! One night a group of local musicians came and everyone danced....The rooms are happy, colorful, so clean its crazy, comfortable, super good AC, and the best mulit task bathroom ever (one room shower, sink, W/C all in one. Love that. OK, the best thing is the hotel is located in a Nubian village and how cool is that...fun shopping, lots of good loot. I give this place : 100%, A++++

This is a super unique and fun property! We would definitely recommend anyone staying in/around Aswan to stay here! It’s a bit out of the way, but that makes it off the beaten path. Big cars can’t get back to it so we did need to walk a little ways to get there, but it is worth it! The rooms are beautifully painted, with a cool-looking brick dome ceiling and a cute balcony that overlooks the Nile. The restaurant has AMAZING food. We would recommend you eat more than just breakfast here. All the staff are so nice. The one downside is the wifi isn’t super strong in the rooms - it kept cutting in & out, but it does work well in the restaurant area. The manager is also very kind and helped us book a private driver to Abu Simbel. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend you stay at this place!

This facility is situated in the Nubian village. It is remote from the city of Aswan. The Nubian village is dirty. Dog, horse and camel dong everywhere as it is everywhere in Egypt. I have only praise for this venue. The room are comfortable and just beautifull and colorfull. It is well kept, clean, managed by the friendliest people I have ever met. People from surrounding venues come here in the afternoon and evening to spend some time in their wonderfull courtyard. They took the best of care of me and even provided an excursion to Abou Simbel when the one that I booked before failed..and at one six of the price of the other. Food is standard tourist menu but if you talk to the chef, he will bend over backwards to make you what you want. Of all the places I stayed in Cairo, Luxor , Dalhabia and Luxor, this was by far the best. Go out, dont step in the dong and talk to the vendors. I made a lot of friends among them and we earned mutual respect. Thank you everybody at Kato Waidi Nubian house.

If you want to see another side of Egypt on your trip, spend some time in the Nubian area near Aswan to experience a different culture. The Kato Waidi Nubian guest house is rustic, colorful, and full of friendly staff and great food.
