Heissa Hostel is located in Aswan. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

The hostel offers a sun terrace.

The nearest airport is Aswan International, 11 km from Heissa Hostel, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

This is a real gem of a hostel - the position outweighs everything else. Superb location and so lovely to be somewhere so beautiful and peaceful and to travel everywhere very cheaply by boat. The manager Rehab speaks fantastic English and is lovely and incredibly helpful. The other Nubian staff are also lovely. Don’t be put off by the basic shower - it’s hot with a great jet. Yousef the boat driver/helm is a cutie. Breakfast was good but no tea or coffee offered. Evening meal was simple and could be improved but it didn’t matter due to the location - the restaurant on the neighbouring island opposite the temple was great but try to avoid 8-9pm as that’s when the temple light show is on if you want a peaceful meal. Abu Simbel day trip was worth the drive. Visit Elephantine Island from Aswan and wander to the Green of the other side through the streets of the village - real rural Nubian life and well worth it. Also take a Felucca trip (about £5 or 200el per hour). Worth seeing the soul/market for the spice shops, real life and felafel making. Just a gem of a tranquil place to stay!

The hotel is wonderful in terms of location and staff, the view is amazing. The food, and the value of money. The staff is cheerful, nice, and very helpful. I would like to thank the manager Mr Ahmed and also Mr Hassona.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location in Elephant Island!! This is a great place to experience authentic Nubian culture and lifestyle. I highly recommend to stay here rather than in central Aswan, The ferry is very easy to get and is very cheap. You are also close to shops and restaurants plus your are supporting a local family

    Property is in a quiet area of Aswan, away from the noisy city. Crossing the street it has an exclusive area to swim into the Nile river or do some kayaking, which are rented for a cheap price. They also offer water and soft drinks and a small breakfast included. You can easily spend many days relaxing in the hostel, without even leaving to do attractions.

    Great owner who was very helpful, the room was nice, and I loved the view from the rooftop! The hostel is on the island and is very easy and cheap to reach by public ferry (takes 5mins). Walking around the island is also fun. Check out King Jamaica for some good food. :)

    This village is great if you want to experience local life. The staff here are really nice and always ready to help with a smile. It's very safe to walk around this island even at night. I felt comfortable with the Nubian people and trusted them completely. For those seeking conformity, this hostel may not align. But if you want to relax and enjoy the peacefulness while looking at the stars, this is the place to be

    The very best hostel in all of Egypt. They have a bonfire everyday from 8 to 9 pm by the Nile and owner/manager Gandi was the best person I met in all of Egypt. We celebrated a birthday with the locals. The hosteliers were very engaging.
