Very good communication with us. Young man who checked us in was friendly and good English. The hotel is on the water but not a well traveled areas yet on the boat docks. We walked on the hill to the small local store for drinks and snacks and paid 1/5 what we had in the past. $1.70 got us 4 drinks, three bags of chips and ice cream! Room was fine, TV didn’t work and they did offer us “upgrade” room for $15 to one with A/C but we were fine in late March without.
Ahmed and his family run and amazing guest house. Ahmed was very inviting and gracious and has done an unbelievable job building his dream. Not many dining options in the immediate area but you really don’t need to leave. The food was excellent and only surpassed by the views of the lake and Philae Temple.
I do not know how this property got the good reviews it has as it is absolutely terrible. If you're a foreign traveler stay away from this... It is impossible to find, even the local have no idea where it is. Access is via a dirt road where I would think twice before going, if I were alone. There is NOTHING around it and one would be very ill advised to venture outside on foot. The room was pretty basic, by no means a "VIP property". Breakfast was cheap, $4 per person, but just as bad. It will put some calories into your stomach, but it won't be something you'd look forward to repeat.
All in all a bad experience. It does not deserve to be listed on Expedia.
The area is remote. Very limited food/restaurant. The owner live upstairs and most of the time no one is downstairs. If you need something, you have to ring the bell at the counter. If you want to order food you have to order in advance at least 1 hour. There is room without AC, so check what’s included before you pay.
I felt I was a guest to a local family house, not a hotel. Ahmed the owner was extremely helpful even though he was away at the time of my stay but he was just a phone call away and very responsive. With all the tips and tricks he was providing about Aswan and sightseeing, I felt the whole time as if I was a family member to him and not simply a tourist from another country. The place is located in front of lake with beautiful view from the window and very calm away from the city business. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a calm area and great host.
We only stayed one night, but the hotel management was very helpful and thoughtful during our time. They made us feel very welcome. In particular, the food was excellent. Like a home cooked meal.
The room was very clean and large, with an amazing view. The hotel was a great price for what it offered, had good food and nice hosts. Would definitely recommend staying here.
This place made me feel at home although I was far from home. I stayed here to visit Abu Simbel and Philae temple and it was our experience was amazing and one of the nicest place we stayed at during our Egypt travel. It’s a family owned place and the owner is so accommodating. All rooms have a gorgeous view of the Nile River. All rooms were clean with nice clean sheets and towels. I felt safe here and would recommend staying here to anyone. Also, they have a good menu to order off of and our meals were so good! You can tell everything was made with fresh and clean ingredients. 13/10 would come back here and recommend to anyone staying in Aswan area
I difinatley recommend Villa Milk. My husband and I had a wonderful time. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Our host Ahmed is an extremely intelligent and well travelled man. He spoke English like he was born in the USA. He is well traveled and has lived in the USA for many years. Ahmed and my husband had a long conversation on Yellowstone National Park. I will remember this experience fondly for the rest of my life. Don't miss this experience. Stay at least a few days so you can explore the area, including the Nubian village nearby. There is also a good Nubian restaurant nearby. Lots of boats nearby to take a few our cruise. Thank You Mohammed and family!
It was not what I expected. The area was dangerous, dirty, and remote (nothing nearby that’s walkable). Most of the Taxis won’t go there because it’s hard to get down the dirt path. The owner is never around so his young boy and wife do all of the work (speak little English). Finding switches and working plugs for anything is a real challenge. Note, “ring the bell for service” is not anywhere but they expect you to find the bell and know this before you come.
I love this place. Our room had an amazing view with a huge window over looking the Nile River. Had everything we needed for the stay. Spoke great English and provide us with affordable transportation from airport as well as downtown. Great hospitality!
Stayed with my 2 brothers for 3 days. The owner Ahmed and his son Jospeh are great hosts. The hotel is very clean and they helped us set up transport to anywhere we wanted to go at great prices. They also have a nice food selection. My brother is a picky eater and he loved the food. If your looking for a simple but well kept hotel this is it. Im not one that normally leaves reviews but had to after our great experience. You wont regret it.
We only had a one night stay but had a very good experience here. The view from the hotel is the best in Aswan. Ahmed speaks fluently in English and was able to arrange transportation for us as well as sort out an issue with our tour booking. We arrived extremely early for check in without warning him and he was able to accomodate us quickly. He can organize tours as well. The room was very clean and comfortable. The only downside is that there is not much at walking distance but a short taxi ride to town is easily arranged.
