Very nice local style hotel right on the Nile. Our balcony was over the water! In the middle of Nubian village, good if you like shopping (no need to book tour of Nubian village, you are there). Staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Food delicious and simple, and other restaurants near by. Highly recommended if you want peace and quiet on the Nile.
