Roma House

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.

The shower was between the sink and toilet and the space available was very tight. (But a squeegee was provided so you could dry the floor after use.) Despite the city being across the river there was some road noise but it was nothing dire. The staff were very unobtrusive. I hardly saw them. The street on Elephantine Island are all sand so be prepared to carry your luggage.

The staff is very kind. The location is in the center of everywhere. The decor is magnificent, the place is very tidy and always clean. Even the view is amazing.

An amazing place and khaled is a great host. Having coffee in the morning from the rooof, was such a pleasure. They also had a wonderful breakfast. Highly recommended !

The host is fine. She helps almost everything you need, it’s fine person.

In terms of offline transactions, more sincerity is needed. Our offline USD payments are even more expensive than online, and the hostess treated us like easy targets, pocketing the platform's service fee for herself. If you're going to transact offline, it's best to negotiate clearly in advance. Moreover, the prices for their other services are shockingly high—charging $10 for a 200-meter shuttle ride is practically treating people like fools. She hardly ever replies to WhatsApp messages unless you send something like, "What’s for dinner?" in advance—then she might respond. Because unless you’re spending extra, she treats you indifferently—unwelcoming and even arrogant.
