Roma House

I had a very pleasant stay at Roma Guest House in Aswan. The room had two single beds that were wide, comfortable, and very clean. The bathroom is small but functional and was clean, with shampoo and toilet paper provided. The air conditioning worked very well, and there was also a ceiling fan. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. Breakfast is simple (omelet, cheese, and coffee or tea), but it’s a good start to the day. One of the best features is the large terrace with a beautiful view of the Nile River. The location on the island is nice and quiet, and the boat fare is only 15 EGP, which is very affordable. The owner is extremely kind and honest. He helped arrange a shared tour to Abu Simbel Temple at a good price, as well as another trip to Luxor including visits to Kom Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple. He also gave very helpful advice about what to do in Aswan. Overall, the price is very cheap compared to the quality of the room and service. I highly recommend this place.

Great place! Great people! This place is very good.

Most important that house is clean and on good location. I see that some people coplaining about noise, it is not true, it is on calm island. Problem is that Aswan at the moment offering very poor quality in city center that i already tried, so Roma house and Elephantine island was like saving from the hell of noice, dirt and trash that are on the East side of the Nile.

The hotel is very well located, about 3 minutes walk from the public ferry. If you have suitcases, it will be a bit more difficult because of the unpaved road. The apartment we stayed in was ok, clean. The ad says there is a washing machine, but the washing machine is in the owner's apartment. If you need to wash your clothes, you will have to give them to the owner's wife and she will take care of it. The kitchen is equipped with the minimum things you need.

Strategic location on Elephantine Island, the rooftop where you can have breakfast, the availability of the owner.

Option worth considering in Aswan

Staff were friendly and helpful when I saw them. The room was well equipped, tidy and clean. This included a fridge and heavy blanket (which was needed before sunrise). Bed and wifi were fine. Shower was hot enough. There was a kettle and tea and coffee to share on the terrace. The terrace was pleasant with a clear view of the Nile and Aswan's East Bank. The Nubian breakfast was good and provided punctually. Roma House is less than 10 minutes walk from the ferry to the East Bank. I'd probably stay again if I was on a budget. The ferry from the East Bank leaves just south of the KFC, down the rainbow stairs. There are reasonable eateries on the island. It's good to watch the feluccas from Feryal Garden (worth the 50 EGP) and there is a Carrefour supermarket a little further up the road from there if needed.
