The hotel is located on the island, which is accessible by a complimentary hotel boat running every 20 minutes. The views are breathtaking and the overall atmosphere of the island is beautiful.
The staff were very helpful and provided excellent service. However, the rooms are quite dated and not very clean. The bathroom doesn't have separate wet and dry zones, so water splashes everywhere when showering. Most of the amenities in the room felt old and worn out. It’s a great place for the scenery, but the room facilities definitely need improvement.

This is a very contradictory hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. The shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for net red films (the following photos are all original films that have not been repaired), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for the ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + landscape-like alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if the Badger is at the forefront of the Nubian village for photos and scenery.
First you have to endure:
1. There is no price-performance ratio hotel price in the peak season, and the hotel has opened the price of a five-star hotel.
2. Poor room facilities, rough-winded furniture narrow room, sheets are worrying, bathroom bath water overflow drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide).
3. Breakfast is self-service and unusually simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who evaluate set and inexplicably praise.
4. Tolerate or add money to continue to endure the complaints of chartered drivers driving into Nubia Village, and then contact the hotel in the middle of the night to change to Sanbengzi in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes suspected of reaching the top of the mountain hotel in life.
5. Very unreasonable other pricing, we originally wanted to book New Year's Eve party dinner, the result is 100 dollars per person...
What do we get here?
The balcony of the room can see the invincible sunrise on the west bank of the Nile River, and we witnessed the first dawn of 2025 at 6 a.m. here.
2. The various posings in the cultural buildings of Nubian Village are very popular.
3. Take a photo with the desert next to the hotel.
A very special group of tourists row three jumping up and down the mountain cultural experience.
5. The hotel service staff is more friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a tipping country. Carrying luggage is the basic service of any hotel in their country. No one has to tip during the whole stay.

Excellent location. On could take felucca or a motor boat to start a day trip. The hotel also offers free sunset cruising. All staff are friendly and restaurants are located at water front.
Rooms are quite small though and bathroom is outdated.
We enjoyed our stay of two nights.

Arong66Our room was on the first floor and had some mosquitoes, but the surroundings were beautiful, located on a hillside overlooking the Nile. The facilities were comprehensive, and the front desk service was very warm and welcoming. Watching the sunset here was particularly stunning.

The hotel was excellent, very nice, clean and beautifully furnished. As for the services, there are literally uneducated people in the tourism industry working at the reception, such workers should not have contact with the client at all or should undergo training. On the contrary, the staff in the restaurant was very nice. Everything was great except for the staff at the reception.

I heard that the more prosperous part of Aswan is the east bank of the Nile, but this is a small hotel in a Nubian village on the west bank of the Nile. If you have a chartered car, you can stay in the village to experience the Nubian culture (there is a section of road under construction into the village, it is not easy to walk and it is very dark at night). You can see the sunrise over the Nile when you go out in the morning. It is very quiet and the small village is also very beautiful. The service is particularly good. The breakfast (some bread, yogurt and boxed juice) will be packed for the morning meeting. There is an independent bathroom, but the light is dim, so I lowered my expectations. It is normal and good conditions in Egypt. At least it is clean, the bath water is hot, and it is not a problem to sleep in clothes for a night.

EvonneLimOn our first night, the room was not clean. After our first complaint, housekeeping did a simple cleanup but it was still unsatisfactory. With our second complaint, a deeper cleaning was arranged, and the room was finally clean — though it was already past midnight (around 1am). The hotel staff apologized and kindly compensated us with a dinner discount, which we appreciated. Overall, we are happy with the team’s fast response and service recovery.
One small feedback: the facilities’ opening hours (spa and gym) clash with typical sightseeing schedules. Since they open late and close early, we were unable to enjoy them. It would be great if the hotel could consider extending the operating hours.
Credit to the room towel decoration. Surprises everyday we came back from sightseeing. Talented creativity of towel art.

Hey-trip
The stretch of the Nile in Aswan is arguably the most beautiful, and the hotel's legendary status goes without saying, having inspired both the novel and film ”Death on the Nile.” The hotel has a very bright and airy feel overall, perhaps due to the intense sunshine outside; Aswan in September gets sun every day. The hotel itself is a special attraction.
Security: Strict security at the entrance. The hotel truly feels like a world unto itself.
Food: Breakfast has a good selection of cold dishes, and the service is excellent. The 1902 restaurant's style is a must-see.
Room: Large balcony with views of the Nile and desert. The design features a distinct North African style.
Service: I accidentally scalded myself with hot water in the evening, and the hotel promptly and professionally sent medicine twice, followed up on my condition, and offered further advice. It turned out that the medication and dressings provided by the hotel were the most suitable and highest quality for the rest of my trip. I sincerely thank all the staff who provided service. I believe one of the hallmarks of a truly 'good' hotel is its ability to handle customer emergencies like this. Thumbs up to the entire hotel.
If you're not driving, exploring Aswan's attractions can be a bit challenging, but the hotel's concierge staff provides helpful advice.
Overall, everything was excellent.

The hotel is right by the Nile River. There is a large area full of his homes. It is a bit like a more distinctive homestay. It is in Nubian style, and there are many distinctive decorations in the room.
The hotel is located in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is deserted and remote, so it is also very quiet. The hotel we booked to pick us up from Cairo to Aswan was charged $55. It took about 40 minutes to drive. I felt cheated. In fact, you can call a taxi directly from the airport. It is not as chaotic as it is said on the Internet.
The breakfast in the hotel is not bad. The fried egg is very delicious. There is a waiter who is Nubian. He is very nice to me. He will take the initiative to help me carry things and remind me to pay attention to the steps. It is the most sincere and friendly service I feel in my trip to Egypt. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask his name. When I left, I wanted to find him to tip but couldn't find him.

The rooms weren't as good as Atour or Ji Hotel, and at 1300 RMB a night, it was definitely a bit pricey! I stayed for two days. The hotel is a short walk from the Nubian Museum, and a short walk further down is the Old Falls, making the location very convenient. There's a Carrefour supermarket opposite the Old Falls, and a pretty good Chinese restaurant across from Carrefour.
Waking up in the morning and opening the curtains to see the Nile River was quite breathtaking.
The breakfast was so-so, but there's not much good food in Egypt, so I guess breakfast is included if it's included. 😂
