El Prince Guesthouse is a real gem on Elephantine Island. We had a large apartment with everything we needed. The staff is extremely friendly, they more than met our expectations and wishes. Took us to the West bank on a boat at 4AM, made boxes with breakfast for us :-) Great location, the island is an amazing place to stay in Aswan.

The owner was very kind and made sure I always had everything I needed

Cleaning of spaces could be improved

The views from the room and the attached balcony of sunset over the nile was fabulous. Amjad, the owner, was a gem of a person - good conversations and always ensured we got packed breakfast if we had to leave early. The rooftop terrace is a cool location to soak in evening sunset view, don't miss it. Plus, the people on the island are very friendly and gives you the feel of staying in a quiet village.

The only point I didn't like was we thought we had booked a double bed but got twin beds, but it's not a deal breaker. Guesthouse is on the other side of the island so getting there with a public ferry means hauling your luggages from the pier. You have to rely on local help because google maps is not accurate on the island. Again, these are just minor points and not even orange flags :)

Amgad or Mageck was responsible for managing everything on the stay and he also managed everything of our tours to aswan, always offering good prices and good suggestions for us. He was always really attentive to us regardless the time of the day, we always knew we could count on him. We had an incident on the Abu Simbel visit (we need to be a little late to leave because of the roads), but he was very transparent and clear on communication and helped us through. Place location is very good, elephantine island is a goldmine inside aswan, if you want a really good place to relax and to know the locals, this place is for you. You can walk by yourself and talk with locals without being afraid of being harassed. Nubian people are very polite and gentle with everyone, you literally feel home with them. The guest house location is very good as well, we could even swim in the nile river at the afternoon! Great experience! Bedroom was quite comfortable by the price we paid and bathroom was decent.

Bathroom is the weakeast part of this acommodation: it's not much clean and the shower is in the same space of the toilet - so there is water leaking to all the floor. However, there is an option of collective bathroom - for low season it's great because we can use mainly alone. However, by the price, people and great location it didn't bother us that much.

It is in a lovely setting on the island with nice views over the Nile to the botanical gardens and desert beyond. The guys who work there are very kind, and the breakfast is simple but classic and sustaining. The views from the rooftop in particular are great. We share some happy sunrises and sunsets there.

This is a clean place, though perhaps a little rough around the edges. Imagine a clean place run by bedouin and you may have an idea... these guys are Nubian so respect to the culture.

Being on Elephantine Island, in the middle of Nubian village was an authentic experience. Hotel rooms are basic but comfortable enough and clean. Hotel has a pet baby crocodile! Our host, Amgad was very helpful and friendly and made our stay pleasant. Good value for money and worked well for our large family as we got a whole floor to ourselves and 4 bathrooms between 8 of us! It was also close to the attractions such as Anamalia & Elephantine Island museum.

The guest house is on the quiet site of the small island, directly in front of the river, some beautiful wildlife live all around. Only 5 minutes walk to the public ferry. Majid our host was so helpful, he took us in his boat to nearby Kitchener island then to a lovely sandy beach on the river where we swam in the clear water of the Nile, an amazing experience.

· The Prince Guest House is perfectly located on the island of Elephantine. You can reach it by boat - either a public ferry or a private ferry to the island. The terrace offers views of Kitchener Island, the Botanic Gardens and up and down the Nile towards the Tombs of the Nobles. At night, Aswan can be seen in light. The beds were very comfortable. The rooms are clean. The staff was so kind and friendly. The owner did everything to make us feel really comfortable. He organized all our trips to Abu Simbel, Luxor and around the island. He took me everywhere in his own boat. I can only recommend!!!

Wonderful and real experience in a Nubian village. Directly in front of the Nile, this guest house has as major advantage Amgad's hospitality. Anything may be resolved with a honest smile, such a great and hard working person. However, you need to be open minded about it, as you will be sleeping in a very humble and basic island, and so are the facilities. Nevertheless, there so much more to see that these detais, such as a doorless private bathroom, doesn't really mater.

Rooms could be cleaner.

Lovely hotel with terrific view over the Nile to the botanical gardens on Kitchener Island and the tombs of the nobles. The upstairs terrace is outstanding. You can watch beautiful sail boat passing by. The host and manager Amgad is very helpful and will make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. He will also arrange excursions for you and take you where you want to go. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. It is a quiet and calm hotel surrounded by a lovely village, fields and nature.
