Seko Kato Nile View Hostel

On a beautiful island

The price! It’s the cheapest option on the island and the owner is helpful and doesn’t try to scam you. He got us a Felucca ride for 400 EGP (8$) for an hour which is super cheap (private). If you are backpacking and need a budget friendly option: there you go! It was not super clean. I understand that when something is that cheap you can’t expect great luxury. But the bathroom had a lot of dirt and I had to clean myself a little to put my things. I had to use my own towel as well because it was very itchy (not sure why it was 100% coton). The room was very small (again the price makes this normal) but make sure you have earplugs if you’re sensitive to noise :) Also, there is a new construction just in front of the guest house so you don’t get a direct Nile view like in the pictures anymore.

Comfy and cozy

Staff wasnt onsite at times. One morning no access to coffee in rooftop as no staff in the building

Wonderful view form the patio and such a cheap affordable price!

Nice location on the Nile river.Very quite place with amazing terrace to watch the sunset.The owner Seko is very kind and can help you with many things!

One bottle of beer costs 200 egyiptian pounds. If you want to leave early in the morning to go to Abusimbel, the private boat the owner chages 150 egyptian pounds.

The property is in a great location on elephantine island overlooking the Nike and a 20 minute boat ride to the Nubian village or a five minute walk to the ferry to Aswan mainland. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with super helpful and friendly staff.

I couldn’t believe the price at first until it was confirmed، it was only $16 for three nights.

Clean and quiet place but the nile view is only on third floor not from every room Aswan island stay is good but every time you want to cross the nile you need to wait the ferry paying every time and if (after 12 am before 6 am )with extra charge

quiet location prices for extras in the hotel are somewhat high traditional shisha is 100egp while the usual price is 10egp

Great location! The view from the rooftop and the room was amazing, the staff was very friendly and everything we needed was provided for us. The room and the AC are 10/10.

Amazing Nubian place with very kind owner. Recommended for people who prefer silence and meaningful conversations about everything in life. Moskitos :) not the owner's fault ?

I extended 3 times because i want to stay longer, its a very good place and amazing view its like a oasis and the staff its very nice, they are so lovely

You should see the pictures. The view its inspiring. Good location. Great staff. Good price. The double rooms have more space than the queen room and enjoy the sunset in roof top and the beach very near to swim in the nile, wich is necesary to feel the river

great view,affordable price bed has a hollow in the middle,i really don't know why...

Excellent hotel! Just opened. The staff is genuinely kind and helpful. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again and recommend to anyone wanting to stay close to pyramids. Beautiful scenery from balcony!❤❤❤

A beautiful, safe, enjoyable and quiet place with country breezes, rich in archaeological sites, kind people and Nubian people. All this beauty blended to create a unique person in his generosity and morals. If you are looking for peace of mind and an enjoyable vacation, I recommend it. None

In the end, nothing. We were sold a transportation service Aswan to Luxor, with two stops on the way. Mid-point, the driver said he would not make the stops and the hostel manager who sold us the service did not answer >20 calls. I made the mistake of paying almost all in advance and when he did answer, he said not to pay the very small balance. Does not paying $10 compensate the thousands of dollars spent to not see what you came to see?

The place is quiet, away from the noise of the city
