Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel 5 stars

We arrived at the Old Cataract Hotel Aswan from 5 days on the restored 1920's SS Sudan and this was a perfect progression. Check in was flawless And staff also arranged for a Doctor visit in a caring and confidential way. Our room was in the new Nile wing which was fitted out to the highest standards with an amazing view over the river and Elephantine island and the ancient Egyptian Temple site. The staff on the Terrace restaurant, the Prominade and the hotel bar were courteous, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. The food was also first class. I particularly appreciated the passion for cigars of the young man who helped me choose from the range available. I wish we were staying longer but I am sure we will return soon

This was an oasis. It was hard to believe this hotel could be so beautiful. We were spoiled, pampered and covered with politeness. This hotel was an oasis.

The hotel is charming, very authentic, it's a journey in the past, we feel like being Agatha Christie, Winston Churchill or François Mitterand. It's a real privilege to stay in this fantastic place. We stayed in the new building, the rooms are wonderfull, the view on the old hotel and on the Nile is just breathtaking. All the staff is very nice and yet extremelly professionnal. Last, but not least, the food is really good, great quality. My wife and I just loved our 3 days at the Old Cataract Hotel. For sure we will come back not before long.

Perfect! We cannot fault anything from our stay.

Very nice service also great hotel

Great

Wonderful location, super grounds, relaxing ambience. Disappointed in attentiveness of one or 2 staff who let down there colleagues. Bar service one night on promenade was unacceptable , slow to provide drinks list and then take order and when drinks arrived did not open tonic bottle or beer , just slapped on table. Visited again in evening same result so walked away! Also in restaurant for 5 star hotel attentiveness could have been improved. Neither of these are major issues for us but some may take exception . Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day 'special break' and felt priviledged to be able to stay with you. Would love to repeat!

We were only in our room for two nights and spent all day sight seeing, so we didn't get to spend as much time as we would have liked appreciating the hotel and grounds. But our room was beautiful and so quiet and the hotel was gorgeous.

i was organizing board meeting for international company the schedule was very tight the whole group working at the hotel gave us amazing experience while breaking all the obstacles to get our meetings, breaks ,lunch and dinners always on time with perfect service our group had the best experience ever

This hotel doesn't rest on its laurels - gorgeous, friendly check-in staff, great rooms, great food and impeccable service on baggage and butler.

The grounds were magnificent and the public spaces were elegant and well maintained The rooms were spacious and well appointed

Like we imagined it would be after reading about this place . Even being sick in this beautiful suite was ok . Although I haven't be able to enjoy all the facilities and meals ! We really enjoyed our short stay.

Slow inadequate service at lunch on porch Couldn't reach staff by phone one morning for 20 minutes to get more water bottles Staff unfriendly at breakfast buffet and no real yogurt, bananas or selection of cold cereal or porridge Phone in room kept ringing the last afternoon and evening, very disruptive

The head concierge was wonderful and attentive, including helping us get some medicine when needed. The room was one of the most beautiful we have stayed in. Our only small complaint is that the beautiful pool is too hot for any kind of serious swimming, but I imagine other guests like it this way. We look forward to returning.

I extremely enjoyed staying there, best hotel in Egypt combines every thing a traveler would need .
