10/10 Exceptional
14 December 2024
We stayed overnight after a Nile cruise, opting to stay on the very “other worldly” Elephantine Island. No traffic here or bustling markets or street hawks. Step back in time hundreds of years. And yet you are 5 minutes from downtown Aswan across the river. And Crystala Guest House is at the top of the short flight of steps (or ramp) from the ferry jetty. The owner came down to meet us off the ferry and walk us to the guest house, and arranged and prepaid the taxi to the airport for very early the following morning. Our triple room was immaculately clean. Very simple and basic but had everything we needed, including power adaptor, and does have AC if required. A short stroll from a couple of small restaurants and bars and there were dozens of market stalls in the narrow alleyways of alternative food and drink options required. Highly recommended for the service, the reception, the cleanliness, location and just “taking a step back” from the 21st century to recharge!
