This hotel has basically no reviews from Chinese people. In order to avoid pitfalls, it is necessary to review it. The hotel is located in a remote location, on a hilltop by the Nile River. It is not in the city of Aswan. You need to reach the foot of the mountain and then take a tuktuk for more than 20 minutes to circle up the mountain. Although tuktuk is free, the taxi driver who takes you there usually doesn't know that you need to go up the mountain, and once he learns that you have to go up the mountain, he will curse and complain all the way. If you arrive in Aswan at night, it will be even more embarrassing. Living there, you avoid all opportunities to participate in Aswan's city life, especially nightlife, because it is very inconvenient to go up and down the mountain and back. Cars for related travel itineraries can be booked by the hotel, but the hotel manager will also quote a price and will not accept any negotiation. He will not leave a cent off a big meal.

This hotel was one of my favourites on my visit to Egypt. It is simply beautiful and despite my stay being curtailed, the hospitality was impeccable. Sara contacted me ahead of my stay to ensure they were prepared for our arrival time. We were greeted by a young gentleman who was so warm and helpful and accommodated us with meals even though we arrived after the kitchen was closed. The view while dining by the pool was amazing. We had a 4am trip to Abu Simbel and wholesome breakfast boxes were prepared for our group which included eggs, bread, yogurt, jam, fresh fruit etc. The rooms were charming and very comfortable. My only regret is that I could not stay longer to enjoy the resort more.

The property is situated on the side of the cliff across the river with breathtaking views of the city and Nubian villages. However be aware the drive to the property is super challenging. You’ll need an additionally 25-30mins on treacherous rocky terrain conditions through a rural Nubian village before reaching the desert road to the property. Once you arrive, all your tension dissipates. Service, food and view is excellent.

My father and I very much enjoyed our stay at Kato Dool. The staff is warm and welcoming, the atmosphere/architecture is beautiful, the views are unbeatable and the food is out of this world. This is an excellent hotel run by true professionals.
That said, I think it should be made clear on the listing that the terrain surrounding the hotel is very rugged and the transportation provided by the facility to attractions is not for everyone. I personally didn’t mind the tuktuk, but it was hard on my 77 year old father.
Overall, however, I rate this hotel very highly and would definitely come back. I give it my highest recommendation and want to thank the staff for their hospitality.

A quirky colourful hotel with fantastic views of the Nile. Friendly staff and excellent good value food. Pool overlooks the desert and Nile. An interesting drive to the hotel especially in the dark. Staff we’re welcoming and helpful assisting us with tours and guides.

If you’re going to Aswan, you must stay at Kato Dool. It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful hotel I’ve seen. The Nubian style is very colorful, fun and inviting, and Kato Dool is exceptional for all the wonderful details they put in. The staff was great; beautiful, welcoming smiles from all, and everyone was so kind to us. We felt very welcome. On the days we had to get up early (Abu Simbel is about 3 hours from Aswan), they had prepared breakfast boxes for each of us and left them at the desk. What a life saver! Made our morning so much easier. The food at dinner is also amazing. Everything is fresh and home-cooked. It was delicious. Our room had a view of the Nile, and it is stunning. Seeing the desert next to the river below is an impressive sight itself, but the beautiful design of Kato Dool made it truly picture perfect. I would highly recommend this hotel to any visitors, just note it may be a little tricky to find. It’s just outside of the town, behind a large sand dune, and the road there is not stone/asphalt paved. So once you have the directions correct, you’ll have a magnificent stay. There’s nothing like sitting on a beautiful balcony listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the river valley to calm one’s mind ❤️

We visited 2 adults. 2 children (11,14). We had two adjesent rooms. We stayed 1 night. 5 stars is a high rating. But we give it bases on the hotel potential and staff. Rooms Clean , nice and beutiful Nubian style. Terrace view is great if you don’t mind bird droppings. Pool Upon our arrival it was quite dirty. Plastic at the bottom and it did not look attractive. We did not use it. Restaurant Food is really good and authentic. Best local food on our full journey around Egypt. Come in good time, as preparation takes a bit of time, which was perfectly fine for us - just something to be aware of. Location It is far away from everything. If you have booked own tours be aware that they might not want to drive here, but you can get a tuk-tuk 10 minutes drive to town. Great view of the nile and Aswan. Below the hotel there are camel rides - when tourists were not around some camels were hit and kicked (hard), not pleasant to watch. Staff So kind. And so helpful. Nirvana in the reception was great and really made the difference for us. Without her we would have given 4 stars.

This guest house was beautiful in decoration, and the people and food were excellent.
The pool we gross! It was green and foggy and had plastic bits floating in it. Very disappointing….we had looked forward to a swim after a busy day of touring.
There was no alcohol on the property! And there was no mention of this on the website. Also very isolated!
