David is without a doubt the best hostel host I’ve ever stayed with. He helped us save money on so many things including transportation and the Nile cruise to Luxor. He gave us takeaway food for free for the Abu Simbel Temple trip and personally drove us to the shop to buy some beer and to the ship for the Nile cruise. David’s hostel is definitely the best choice in Aswan.

David Hostel was the best accomodation we had in Egypt. Its not the fanciest place, but its located in a neighbourhood where you can experience the city and get to know the daily life. A perfect place for travellers to share experiences with other people around the world. David was the best host we met in Egypt. Always willing to lend a hand in everything. The other guests shared our opinion. If I travel to Aswan again, its a no doubt.

David is the main pilon of this awesome hostel where people meet every day for breakfast and make new connections with each other. Light breakfast is not invluded but it is free of charge - falafel and beans and coffee and tea are free throughout the day. Rooms are modest but they have everything you need. Next to the hostel, there’s a fish restaurant and a pizza/burger one from where you can take away. David is very helpful at every time of the day. He even came with me to fix the car when I had problems with it. It is not for the fancy ones - it is a budget convenient accommodation.

If you are picky, please spend the few extra euros/dollars/pounds elsewhere. But: if you are really travelling on a tight budget, David makes up for every comfort you are missing here! He helps you with everything and always gets you tips and the right (and probably cheapest) prices to visit everything! Definitely made my stay in Aswan! Thanks a lot!

Good and very reasonable rates for stay in Aswan. 15km from airport ,5km from railway station. Owner is English speaking and very good. He can arrange a good tour to Abu simbel.

You get what you pay for. Cheap place, dirty bathroom without warm water, brown water coming out of the tap and mattresses that have had better days. The dorm has a camera, I dont know why, because thats kinda awkward. The good thing about this place is the owner, he is a nice guy, and helps you out. And they do free laundry (pretty quick as well!). But nah I wouldnt recommend the dorm.

Great place to stay in Aswan. Clean, roof terrace, hot showers and good facilities & excellent value. David is very helpful and knowledgeable with regards to the local area, helping me even after I left the hostel with information on busses and transportation to Sudan. Highly recommended and I will certainly stay again.

David is an amazing host. The place is a jewel and it felt like home from day one. Low priced, outstanding service and high level of cleanliness - something very rare to find in Egypt.

David, who is the owner, is a very nice & helpful person. He runs it by driving you to book your ticket, or just to enjoy the city.Davids son speaks very well english, and is a potential help for his father in the future. Roof terass is great and will with some help, turn to a new sleeping place with a room. To recomend!

David and his wife are great hosts! Very attentive and caring. The hostel is perfect for the room price. We could also contract many activites with David with all the security and confidence that you wont find anywhere in Egypt. We totally recommend this place. The hostel is in a quiet place perfect for resting. Also you have lot of food stores and mini markets around.

David also guided us through out our stay at Aswan right from getting to the property till the end of stay, he made sure we had a ride back to the train station. Overall I am very satisfied with the service. I highly recommend this place.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY!!!Davids Hostel is a short 5 minute drive outside Aswan City Center in a very quiet neighborhood. The rooms are comfortable, the beds are comfortable and the fans work perfectly to cool you off after a long day in the heat!David is one of the best hosts weve met during our year long journey! He is very interested in learning about other cultures and bringing the world inside his hostel and also doing everything possible to help travelers along their way.If you are looking for a place to stay we highly recommend this hostel!!

Review №23

David had arranged our lodging, breakfast and conveyance to Abu Simbel along with all internal movement across the city in his car for $25. This was a great deal considering the distance to Abu Simbel from Aswan. David as a person is really nice and makes it a point to personally help all the travelers he interacts with. Please do check out his hostel at booking.com.

I booked one night at David’s Hostel and ended up staying for 4 as I waited for the ferry into Sudan. The hostel is the downstairs of David’s family home and he immediately welcomes you into his family. During my stay, David arranged transport to Abu Simbel temple, a trip to swim in the Nile and visit the Nubian village, and would shuttle me to the main rail station daily. David took interest in all of his guests while I was there and was keen to learn about their experiences in Egypt and abroad. David also offered airport transit, although I did not use he service. I gave 4 stars as the nights could be warm with no ac in the rooms but other than that it was an enjoyable stay! Cheers David!

I made a reservation, and because the train was late, and an hour and a half before I arrived in the city, he canceled the reservation, and the reason is that the door closes at 11 pmClosing or opening times should have been clarified before bookingBad experience

I originally booked three nights with David, but due to a change in my plans I only wanted to stay for two nights - no problem for David! In general David always proved to be very helpful (without, like many Egyptians, reaching out for tips) and perfectly rounded off my stay in Aswan with his hospitality and good tips. :)

Review №53

The owner and the couple are very kind and fluent in EnglishHe gave me bread for breakfast for the Abu Simbel tour early next morning.Since it is quite far from the center of Aswan,There are few places to eat and shops around, so its a little inconvenientWhite Taku is running, but Tuk Tuk is hard to catchWe also handle various toursThe rooms are clean and tidyHowever, the computers that could not be used in the single room were full of dust ...The shared bathroom has a shower curtain so the floor is not floodedThere is a hot shower and a washing machine (charged)However, if too much hot water is used in the bathroom, it will take time for the next person to use the hot water.The shared living room is easy to spendThe difficulty is that it is difficult to catch the radio waves of WiFi and SIM

Review №54

Hostel As a cheap backpacker in expensive Aswan, very good hostel. The owner, David, gives all kinds of information for the backpacker, avoids a little bit of grief, and helps avoid fraud in negotiations with all sorts of annoying tour guides. The street is a bit flawed in the city, but if you are walking in anyway, this so-called heaven, which harms your health, it is highly recommendable.

Review №55

Very friendly he and his family. I book a tour without asking and at night the dormitories are very noisy using an electric cutting machine at 1040 p.m. and moving furniture at 11 p.m. I get up and ask if you can stop by 11pm. Very kind di in itself but still with its noise. Defenitivamente is the cheapest place has no windows is in a very small basement and far from the city
