Katodoll is a unique hotel for relaxation and disconnection from outer world and social media it’s perfect for couples to enjoy the vibes and have a wonderful experience but not suitable for seniors and the way to the hotel is not paved for half the way and it’s through a mountain
People working there are friendly helpful and the food is organic

Pros
The hotel facilities were absolutely beautiful with an amazing view. Traditional Nubian style house. Every corner makes you want to capture the space.
We had a rocky start but the hotel staff tried to redeem themselves. We lost an apple watch which the hotel helped us get back ASAP before we reached Luxor. We are grateful for this.
Cons
Awful communication and hospitality. We were the only guests in the entire resort because of low season but still received shitty service. The hotel is in a secluded place making it difficult to reach.It’s on top of a mountain on a dusty rocky road. The hotel offers a tuktuk. We did our research prior and contacted the hotel to arrange getting to the hotel from the village and check in since we knew we’d land in the AMs. We were ignored. We arrived at the village meeting point at 1:45 but only ended up getting to our rooms around 3:50am because reaching the hotel via call and WhatsApp was so difficult. The staff had no sense of urgency. We were frustrated and anxious in this wellness resort. Our taxi driver refused to take us up the mountain and the tuktuk refused to take us because of our many bags (which is understandable).
I’m very disappointed in the service and I know the staff has lots of potential to improve on their service delivery. The hotel needs to be more cognisant of their customer service and guests hospitality. Staying here was stressful.
Recommended if you want aesthetic vibes,a beautiful picturesque hotel with good breakfast.
Don’t recommend if you prioritise great guest services, comfortability and peace.
Remote Aswan stay
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.

Staying at Kato Dool was an unforgettable experience! The beauty of the site, the breathtaking view over the Nile Valley, and the peaceful atmosphere made it truly special. We loved discovering Nubian culture, and the kindness of the team—especially Asma—made us feel at home. The fresh, local cuisine was delicious, and every detail in the decor added to the charm. The small boutique with unique creations was a lovely touch. A serene and inspiring place, perfect for relaxation. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful, super original hotel. All rooms have Nile view, I must say wonderful view! Even better than from famous Old Cataract hotel. Our room had a balcony with river view. Hotel is very new locally decorated, colorful, really Nubian style. Pool is " endless" overlooking Nile. Rooms are not big, but very cute, originally painted and decorated. Breakfast is very good and restaurant is also very original. Beautiful design. I wanted to try Spa ( I know Spa services are seasonal) , but as our flight was 2 hours late I couldn't enjoy hotel as much as I wonted. I must honestly say the road to the hotel located in Nubian village is pretty bad, but worth going there! If you like local style and originality - you will be delighted, if you look for typical , boring style, but well equipped hotel ( Hilton style) - it may not be your first choice. Customer service is very nice, management try to help you with everything. Pity we couldn't stay longer!

Decoration is awesome really beautiful but that doesnt justified the price of the room. I had a suite with a jacuzzi but the jacuzzi wasnt working it was impossible to fill it and there is not enough hot water to do so anyway.. The jacuzzi is beside the main terrace and the pool of the hotel so 0 privacy. It was pretty cold in the room I asked 3 times to get heater in the room never had it.. no shutter so at 5 am its daily sunny in the room.. The bed and pillow are great for egypt but I dont feel like the standard of the room is justifying the pricing of 300 per night. Staff is REALLY warmful and friendly so I am a bit feeling sad for them to have to put such a comment about the standard.. Cleaning staff are doing an exceptionnal job to have room that clean with so much dust and sand around well done !! This is an instagram place for sure but standard has to be upgraded to pretend to such a pricing.

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.

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.

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.
