First the bad. It's remote. Arrange your transportation with the hotel/tour service ahead of time. If you find yourself stuck, a tuk tuk ride to/from the paved road is 150-200 pounds. Now the good, YOU WILL LOVE this place. Food is excellent, vibe is chill. Wife and I could spend a week there and never leave.

The rooms and establishment are clean and inviting. The staff e a 10 out of 10. Although a ways away from Downtown and the facilities provides transportation at a small feel

Beautiful!

We had a great experience overall. The property is very nice and clean, the beds are extremely comfortable, and the views of the Nile are beautiful. The staff were outstanding, the food was excellent, and breakfast was truly a feast. They also helped us arrange a private driver for our daily excursions. We will definitely stay here again.

We had such a good time staying here. The hotel was so unique and beautiful. The facility was great, and the staff were very attentive. We would highly recommand this place.

We had a wonderful stay at Kato Dool Wellness Resort! The staff were very kind and accommodating — they even allowed us to check out late because our flight was delayed, which we truly appreciated. The view from the top of the mountain is absolutely amazing, especially at sunrise overlooking the Nile river. Since the resort is located uphill, we had to take a tuktuk to go up and down to the village. The ride can be a bit bumpy and dusty, which some people might not enjoy, but it didn’t bother us at all and added a touch of adventure to the experience. Overall, it was a relaxing and memorable stay.

Beautiful property with the most incredible view of Aswan and Nike below. Staff were lovely and we enjoyed the food. Would recommend

This hotel is heaven on earth! The staff is wonderful. The location has an amazing view. If you are looking gor an escape from crazy, busy tourist sites, this is it. Beautiful pool, gorgeous rooms, fantastic executive chef and staff. Everyone was so nice. Miss them all already. Kudos to all! Yes, like others have said, it's far from things. But honestly, not that far. The TukTuk ride up and down is very bumpy and shaky. I found it fun but others with health or physical issues will not manage well on them. I would suggest that the hotel get a van when they can budget for one.

This spot is lovely, staff are friendly & food is tasty. However, we would not stay again until they improve some of their issues. These include: 1. Communication: it was difficult to get responses before we arrived. Emails about excursions were not returned. The only time I got a response was in the WhatsApp chat although I had to send reminders so they would get back to me. Indeed, I sent through this feedback after our stay & never heard back. 2. No Wi-Fi connection: This was especially challenging because they only have a digital food menu that requires wifi to view it. 3. Timeliness in the restaurant: while the food was delicious once it arrived, it took far too long. We were told to be at the restaurant for dinner at 20:00. We arrived on time but we still hadn’t even received our drinks by 21:30. We waited 95 minutes for drinks and dinner and then we waited another 35 minutes for dessert. Most items on the menu were not available. 4. Bathroom facilities in our room: our bathroom flooded every time we used the shower so we had standing water on the floor the entire stay, which meant we had to walk through puddles of dirty water to use the sink or toilet. 5. The driver the hotel uses spent most of the time in the car distracted with phone calls & text messaging while driving. It felt unsafe. He also lectured us on the harms of alcohol when we asked him to stop somewhere so we (3 middle-aged adults) could purchase some beer to drink after a long, hot day.

Kato Dool is unique and charming but accessibility is challenging. Not recommended for a busy touring schedule. The spa was unexpectedly closed during our stay and that was disappointing.

Lovely hotel but very difficult to get to

Beatiful and aesthetic location. Great view of the river Nile and city of Aswan. The staff is super freiendly and helpful. Wonderful experience. Great location to take instagrammable pictures and videos. Only pain point - there was no WiFi, as their internet reception was being affected by wind. Need to invest in better infrastructure for connectivity services. But everything else was wonderful.

Property property design is amazing and the view is breathtaking. The only two concerns is it’s far away from downtown Aswan plus the roads to get to the hotel are in a very bad shape and taxi refuses to go there. Dogs in the area are very noisy and bark a lot. If it’s your first time in Aswan, I would recommend you staying in downtown.

Its a lovely & colorful property, managed by some great people. Its located a bit far from the village below, but the ride to the property is worth it once you arrive and see the place. Lovely views of the Nile there. Also if you walk up at sunset, you get lovely views of it in d sand dunes.

So goooooood! Stunning property with lovely staff. Very attentive and friendly throughout. A little oasis you could really never leave for a few days :)

It was wonderful relaxing place giving the vibes of the nubian village. Enjoyed the stay . Staff was very nice and helpful

Kato Dool is beautiful place to stay in the Nubian village of Aswan. It is peaceful with a gorgeous view of the Nile Cataract/Desert and has well designed rooms in colorful Nubian style. The staff is very friendly and effective at what they do. The only consideration (good and bad, both) is that it is cut-off from everything else with a dusty and bumpy road (as of our visit) of over 10mins. from the busy parts of the Nubian village. For those who are not driving, like us, the hotel provides a tuk tuk transportation to and from from the main village. However, for the price of the rooms in the hotel, I hope the management provides a covered geep for this purpose as the tuk tuk is fun only once or twice. Overall, it is highly recommended for the views and authentic experience of staying in Nubian village with good amenities, especially if one is driving.

We had an excellent stay at Kato Dool to experience Nubian culture. The hotel staff was excellent in communicating and picking us from airport. The room was beautiful and the best part was the food. We had dinner and breakfast both were excellent. They also arranged the drop off to our cruise.

For those visiting Aswan, Kato Dool Resort is not just a recommendation—it's a destination that guarantees a memorable and holistic experience. Look no further for the perfect getaway!

Property is nice, very traditional as the Nubian Community. Staff very respectful and kind. The property is remote in the middle of nowhere, far away from the city center or any other places, no vehicles can access it, from the transportation left you to the hotel you are jumping in a tuk-tuk for about 15-20 mins through a bad isolate, dark and full of hole road, after 9 pm you have to pay for that service as well. The service staff in the restaurant and facility are slow taking 30 mins from order the breakfast to service on the table (simple breakfast) a cappuccino with and omelet. The wifi is not available in all the rooms as listed in expedia, only accessible in the lobby and restaurant.
