Location was perfect, if you want to dive into the local Nubian Village scene. Located right on the Nile river with access to river boat trips anywhere you want to go at a reasonable price. Chymaa the hostess of Nub Inn was the quintessential "hostess with the mostess". I became sick my last day staying at Nub Inn, it was a Friday and worship day so most Dr. and pharmacies were closed...somehow within an hour or so of her magical way there appeared a bag from a pharmacy (who knows where from) with everything I needed... We were stranded in Abu Simbel on an overnight tour because our hotel which I booked myself was substandard and we called Chymaa in Aswan for help...she arranged a personal guide to take us to a wonderful new hotel plus to spend a day pass at the only hotel in Abu Simbel with a glorious pool...the day ended up being wonderful because of her. We came back to Aswan and spent one more night at Nub Inn and felt so welcomed back. Our room was immaculate and very nicely decorated, and very comfortable. The food was outstanding along with the service. Honestly, it was the highlight of our trip to Egypt, not to mention how gorgeous the Nile river is there and you can swim in it...the water is cool and refreshing, NO crocodiles...highly recommend taking a sunset 2 hour cruise on Bipo's boat, and don't forget a bottle of wine. (Secret)....Bipo likes to dance😁

When I book this place I didn’t expect much, but the hotel is located in one of the most beautiful village in Aswan, people were so incredibly welcoming and the vibes of the village was just fantastic, the rooms were clean, staff was friendly and even food was so tasty, they prepared our breakfast lunch as we needed to depart at 5am, super recommended wish to stay longer there

The room was large. clean, had a refrigerator, hot showers, good toilets, and a large balcony with a Nile River view. We only stayed 1 night because we were in Aswan only for 1 night, but I wish we had more days scheduled in Aswan because this location and Nub Inn was amazing. The restaurant served delicious Egyptian meals. I was also pleasantly surprised that they offered alcohol with dinner. I had a glass of delicious Egyptian wine and my partner had an Egyptian beer during dinner. I loved the large balcony with Nile River view. I woke up early to watch the beautiful sunrise from the balcony. The staff at Nub Inn were the best. Everyone there was pleasant, helpful, and friendly. Hajar was in touch with us prior to our arrival to ensure that we had a pleasant stay. She also arranged for us a wonderful felucca ride at sunset. The common areas, lawn, and outside areas are immaculately maintained. Having the Nubian Village right there is convenient. We took a nice stroll through the village in the early morning when it was still quiet. If we return to Aswan again, we will stay here again. Nub Inn is the best place ever!

I loved everything. I have no negative comments.

Hotel is located in the middle of Nubian village with a lot of shops and restaurants nearby. Every day arrive to that village a lot of boats with tourists from the big ship cruisers staying in Aswan for a shopping, but when they leave there's very local charm of nubian village. The drive to the hotel is by the narrow road through the local houses, and then you passing by tourists shops and finnally you are in, almost at the end of the village. Hotel looks as have the best standard in the village, fanstastic garden and huge terrace with restaurant, but aslo the price is higher. All rooms have balconies with amazing view on the Nile. Rooms are very clean, spacious and have beautiful nubian ceilings. Bathrooms are clean and comfortable.

We have the last room in the buidling, it was the biggest rooms with biggest balcony, but on that balcony there was a lot of smoke from below grill kitchen of the next hotel. It could be great to put there some wall with plants or something which could help to prevent the smoke coming directly to your face when you are trying to rest on the balcony. All the rest balconies have small wall between them only the last balony has not on the external side.

The manager/owner, Shima, is wonderful and super accomodating. She has been swift at replying and at arranging everything during our stay at a very reasonable price. She is caring and kind and checked on us regularly. Her staff is very nice. The rooms are cute, clean and cozy. The breakfast was good. The location is very quiet. We had asked for an additional bed in the room for our son, however this was not possible due to the size of the room so Shima offered us a second room without any additional charge. The service providers she uses are very nice and honest (no hustling). The hotel is located in a cute small nubian village with many shops and few restaurants. You can walk in the street at ease without being hustled or bothered by the shop owners, they are very respectful and discreet. We really appreciated our stay! Thank you!

Only few rooms are directly on the Nile or have a Nile view however this is clearly and honestly advertised from the beginning. No bad surprises

It was phenomenal. The location was great, it was peaceful and scenic. The hotel itself was beautiful with its domed ceiling and bright paint. We had amazing food, the hotel arranged a tour for us and there was transport available by boat. Hajar at reception helped us in every way she could, I think she was fantastic and so lovely. She even helped me in organising transport back to the hotel after a day trip when I was having issues with my phone. The restaurant was great, the food was wonderful. The falafels were some of the best I have ever had and Khalid in the restaurant was very friendly and looked after us well.

Nothing!

Hotel was very nice, colorful, and clean. The staff was very welcoming and took care of anything that was needed. They offer assistance with tour planning or transportation. It is close to an area with shops and the hotel has a reasonably priced restaurant with authentic food overlooking the Nile. You will get to live amongst the Nubain people for your stay! A few things to note: The hotel is on the west bank and not that close to the main part of town. It can only be accessed via boat or along a confined dirt road through the shops. Although this was fine for me, it may be a problem for some people. It also seemed like most of the rooms were only accessible via stairs. Wifi is not super fast but understandable given the location.

Nothing :)

I arrived early at the Nub Inn sick from my Dahabiya Nile cruise which apparently is very common. They were nice enough to find me bananas - the best food and treatment for diarrhea - and they were kind enough to let me check in early so I didn't have to doze downstairs in the restaurant. The room was big and airy and the domed ceilings were impressive. The bathroom had broken tiles - worked into the tile design. It was unique and well done. After all the terrible interior decorating in Egypt, I was very impressed. During my 2 day stay the staff was always friendly and accessible and their English was great. And being outside the chaos of your typical Egyptian City was a welcome relief though it is central to the Nubian area. Great place overall

Their low wifi rating seems accurate. The wifi didn't work in the room but they did seem to have fixed it with a new system the day I left so hopefully that won't really be an issue going forward.

I loved staying in and supporting a Nubian village. Don't waste money on Nubian village tours, just stay in one!

I tried unsuccessfully to secure a transfer from the train station. I arrived in Aswan and no one was there to pick me up. Eventually, I had to ask a random person (using body language) to borrow their phone to call Nub Inn. I had told the property what train I was on but apparently, they came too early as everything in Egypt runs late (which they could be aware of and plan around being Egyptians themselves but I digress). Since they would not come back to pick me up, I was stranded there. I ended up overpaying for the oldest, slowest, and grungiest taxi; which I could have just done in the first place and skipped the Nub drama.

Great small place with lots of character in the Nubian Village. From the balcony you can watch the dozens of boats full of tourists go by the inn for a stop at the Nubian Village. From the front of the inn, short walk to shopping and watching the camel riding tourists riding by. Authentic food and friendly servers at the restaurant.

Would like to see the pond area near the river be kept clean. It would be especially nice if they grew papyrus and lotus flowers in that same pond since we hear so much of those plants during our visit to this historic country.
