It's an unusual experience-the transfer from the airport eventually puts you in a tuk-tuk to get you there! And we had to take a boat to transfer to our cruise. It feels rustic, but in a good way. Staff very attentive, but not much english speaking. Rooms were simple but comfortable. ##### sharon Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mojan 18 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful and very relaxing property on the Nile with very clean and lovely rooms, friendly staff who were very accommodating and delicious food!

The place was clean, the family was very kind, and the location couldn’t be better — right in front of the Nile, with beautiful trees in the dining area that kept the space fresh and gave it a natural, charming atmosphere. It’s also right next to the dock where the small boats arrive, and in the center of the village, so everything is within walking distance. Just keep in mind that cars don’t go into the center, so if you arrive by car you’ll need to take a tuk-tuk for the last stretch. Also the prices for the food are not as expensive as others places such in Aswan ##### Rocio Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### ho cheung 20 Apr 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Near to the shop Beautiful sea scene ##### ho cheung Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Soul & Foil 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed our stay at kato waidi staff was very friendly and we were lucky they had a great restaurant with a wonderful view of the nile.

Our room was comfortable and interesting, the people were lovely and helpful. The food was tasty and the view spectacular. Some of our taxi and tuktuk drivers needed help finding the correct hotel, but we were not in such a rush that it was a problem. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Virginie 4 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nubian souk The hotel is colored The room was clean The restaurant was very good The view was wonderful ##### Virginie Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Laura 4 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities 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 food was wonderful and the staff very helpful and very friendly. ![ View](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/09D9B1420C45FFCB188BF435EB89FE5006A659CC1703441598409.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Room blocks](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4525738A30FE327C7D22882A085902DCA684C2F21703441591950.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Our ceilling](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FF97DB8512E4225999C2AE0BFD3888E5B0D5B4281703441610632.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melony A 26 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Kato Waidi Nubian House is magical. The beautiful Nubian artwork in the Nubian Village and through this affordable, modest hotel inspired my creativity. I enjoyed the laid back friendly atmosphere. I felt at home. And the staff was extremely accommodating. One of the special benefits is the affordable airport transport. Kato Waidi Nubian House sits on the River Nile. It was a blessing to journey down the Nile on the boat into town to see the sunrise and feel the song of Ancient people through the whispers of the River Nile. My stay at Kato Waidi Nubian House lives in my heart. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a comfortable environment that is child friendly. Tipping is part of the Egyptian tourist culture and I found myself wanting to share because of the profound humility and generosity of everyone I met. And the Kato Waidi Nubian Village has a vibrant Bazaar with wonderful artwork and souvenirs to remember the journey! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d7385435-ede8-4455-8865-c16c55340b05-1761474719880.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melony A Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mayada 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Mayada Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cole 24 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved this place! Such a pleasant surprise. It’s right in the tiny little heart of Nubian village so all the little shops are right there. The colors are great and the staff was on it and so so nice. I’d stay again for sure! ##### Cole Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guy 9 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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.

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. ##### noemi Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rose 16 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Rose Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sananda 19 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Sananda Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronald 2 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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++++ ##### Ronald Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 15 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Elizabeth ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gene 28 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I loved everything about Kato Waidi Nubian House. It is in the heart of a Souk, as well as having access to boats to take along the Nile for various outings and sites. The hotel restaurant is outdoors and is also located on the bank of the Nile, which changes with the hour in its beauty and stillness. The food here is fantastic and very reasonably priced. The hotel is beautiful and the room and bed were comfortable and clean, colorful. The whole area is colorful and the Nubian people are laid back, kind and proud of their heritage. It was a great, great pleasure to stay here, and I will come back. I want to particularly thank Ahmed, the day manager, for his excellent listening skills, and his thoughtful responses to my questions and my desires. He arranged several outings for me, by boat and by car, as is his job, and catered the tours to my uniqueness which I am very thankful for. If you come you should consult with him and he will listen closely and appreciate you, and guide you in the right directions as well as giving you many options to choose from. He is very hospitable and a great representative of the hotel and of the people here in Aswan. I have nothing negative to say. The place was like heaven to me. Thank you Ahmed! ##### Gene Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 12 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Room was painted in funky Nubian colours and comfortable and staff very helpful. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Plymstock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plymstock-Hotels.d3000699102.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Pendine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pendine-Hotels.d3000010230.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Maamadi Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maafushi-Hotels-Maamadi-Boutique.h92062095.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Corby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corby-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d4610-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Chandni Chowk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chandni-Chowk-Hotels.0-l6125305-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mountain Hotels in Udaipur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-Hotels-Mountain-Hotel.0-0-d3610-tmountainhotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Spa Hotels in Cala en Porter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cala-En-Porter-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6048006-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Theatre Royal Stratford East](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Theatre-Royal-Stratford-East-Hotels.0-l553248621532509007-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Disney's Maingate West](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Disneys-Maingate-West-Hotels.d6034243.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in 18th Arrondissement](https://www.expedia.co.uk/18th-Arrondissement-Paris-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n6187905-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bells Hotel and Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coleford-Hotels-Bells-Hotel-And-Country-Club.h4177010.Hotel-Information) > > [Tony Asga - Aisha.Sakina Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Tony-Asga-AishaSakina-Apartments.h9748832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Calamba](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calamba-Hotels.d182200.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hills & Hues](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thekkady-Hotels-Hills-Hues.h23087128.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Philadelphia (PHL) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/phl/phx/philadelphia-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Alcalá del Obispo (HSK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/hsk/london-to-huesca) > > [British Airways Las Vegas (LAS) to Manchester (MAN) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-harry-reid-intl-to-manchester/ba/las/man) ### Cars > [Car hire near Contact](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Contact.d553248621532494276.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Car hire in San José](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-San-Jose.d603085.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Willsbridge Mill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Willsbridge-Mill-Bristol.d553248621532491482.Attraction) > > [Greater London Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Greater-London.d6046290.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Mullanpur Dakha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mullanpur-Dakha.dx553248635974906342) > > [Visit Kennett River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kennett-River.dx6342652) ---
