At the hostel every room is equipped with air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a kitchenette, a dining area, a safety deposit box and a private bathroom with a bidet, free toiletries and slippers. All units will provide guests with a desk and a kettle. I stayed for 4 nights in total. A brand new very well kept hostel. Spacious dorm (I stayed at the 8 bed dorm), great kitchen, lots of room to hang out with other women. This was my first time at an all female hostel and I can highly recommend it to anyone! I got the chance to meet some lovely Saudi girls and women from everywhere. The host family is beyond welcoming and doing a great job. Simply just wonderful Saudi hospitality. I had a car, so it was easy for me to get around and there were always available parking spots in front of the house. Thank you so much for the wonderful time in Riyadh!

He offered help with directions and even walked me around the village the first day that I arrived. His hospitality is top tier! I also have to highlight the amazing home cooked breakfast.

Set within 19 km of Aga Khan Mausoleum and 4.3 km of Nubian Museum, Nubian Hights guesthouse offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Ash Shallāl. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features city views and a terrace. It’s a beautiful place, build by a retired mother that worked as a teacher and now wants to leave a bussiness for her two dauthers. You can see the love on the place and wanting to do stuff as good as possible. They have little semiapartments with shared half kitchens (not stove but fridge, a sink, glasses and plates), the room I stayed had a balcony with beautiful views to the nile river, had airconditioning but also a fan, so you can chose. The shower has a heater, and though it has an interesting design just in the middle of the toilet, it works and is very good. The owner incredibly nice, very nice person to talk with. Her dauther is the only one doing Bird watching tours in Aswan (even being featured on the Lonely planet).

The housekeeping is excellent. Room, lounge, bathrooms are clean and comfortable. The staff only speak little English, but they do understand what I say (sometimes using Google translate) and kindly explain things to me. There's also soap in the bathroom. Also, the best thing is, they let me save my belongings at the reception after the checkout. Excellent job!
