Great experience as usual, visiting Aswan for 8 times now. Unfortunately, there were no rooms available in Old Cataract, but we went there for dinner for 2 nights. Excellent environment, magnificent view, perfect service from Ahmed Taha.

The location is superb and the rooms were excellent. The service in the Sarawak restaurant was slow and the wrong order arrived whilst there was a mix up over the packed lunch which I had ordered. Other than these aspects, we had a wonderful stay.

Great hotel. Service at restaurant could be better

When I went for a swim in the indoor pool I was told I can’t do laps. That I was splashing too much water. This when there was no one else in the pool. I had a bad conversation with the spa front desk person .

unique experience

OLD CATARACT HOTEL, ASWAN It IS a veritable legend and that’s why we wanted to stay there for a couple of nights. Indeed, no other hotel we have been to in Egypt is like that. It oozes history and style. To start with, staff is exceedingly polite and helpful. And smartly dressed besides. The hotel itself is not big unless you include the new block next to it, which is an eye sore and the sooner it disappears, the better. Even if it is a source of extra income in high season. Everything is high quality and I’m sure you will love your stay just as we did. There were however some minor defects, which in Egypt is-talking from experience-inevitable. In our room, admittedly it wasn’t a presidential suite, the corner with wardrobes was very dark to the point you could hardly see anything. Electric towel rack wouldn’t work as the socket had no power. At the recent repainting of the bathroom mirrors and the unfortunate towel rack and shower door handles were not wrapped up for protection and thus ended up peppered with emulsion nobody could be bothered to clean after. Some quests, notably Chinese trippers would start early and make awful racket in the corridor, which would wake us up. Strangely enough it seems to be the older generation Chinese who are so inconsiderate. Maybe a sign requesting silence would be helpful? Last but not least food at dinner was – shall we say – uninspiring. Decent enough but nothing to write home about which was a bit disappointing. Still, dinner in the setting sun over Nile with discreet Egyptian live music in the background was magical and unique. Pardon the grumbling. An the whole we loved it and would come back any day. The view, the pool, the staff, the history were wonderful.

Convenient to all tours, museums, riverfront attractions
