Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel 5 stars

We absolutely enjoyed our time at the Old Cataract Hotel. Great staff, great design beautiful rooms.

Beautiful legendary hotel, modernised but not spoiled. Personal and fridndly service. Excellent food.

An experience to be looked for again

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and courteous. My beautiful room was spacious and the view overlooking the Nile was spectacular. One little complaint was that the mini-bar was not filled and we were told it would be. I stayed in Ste 2204 and my travel companion was in 2202. Neither of our mini-bars were stocked. That said, all my meals (in-room dining as well as the restaurants) were delicious and the presentations stellar. I hope to visit again and stay longer!

I came to Old Cataract a long time ago and I always told myself that if I have the opportunity to pass by Aswan again, I must stop and stay for a few days in your hotel again because this is the best hotel in Egypt ! Many thanks to all the staff and to Mariem, her shining smile (even hiding behind her mask) made us feel even more comfortable. I will definitively come back again.

Everything thing was more than perfect. The view is amazing. The room was more than amazing. The staff are excellent

Aswan is the best and the old cataract was beautiful. The people were very helpful and kind. Never felt pressure from them like other hotels we've stayed in Egypt. Our favorite place by far!!!

Best hotel in egypt

We visited this beautiful historical hotel. We enjoyed everything. Very beautiful room with beautiful Nile view. Quite and comfortable room, with beautiful balcony. Tasty breakfast on open terrace and great French restaurant. You feel like in Orient Palace. Staff is very friendly. And all measures for Covid are in place. There is no evening live piano music, but is missed.

Spectacular experience and royal hospitality

The hotel is beautifully situated on the nile with spectacular views. Breakfast is delicious and the rooms are great. The staff is very helpful. The only quirky thing were the plastic cups at breakfast. This was probably because of covid, but I am not sure how that helps since the plates and silverware were regular.

Excellent view Great staff Very good big room Excellent view Thank you all the stuff for making our accommodation amazing and thank you Mariem for the great customer care

Sadly. There were too many things that outweighed the quality of other things. We were both very disappointed with what should be good quality. But in fact was very poor, service and value for money. 1902 menu was poor. No menus in the rooms, they were using QR codes which was great, but waited 1 hour for a code to arrive for a menu. Phones not working in a signature suite so had to phone using a mobile. Door handles falling off the door to balcony, many of the shutters couldn’t be opened. Satellite stations all bad connections. Bar cocktail charges were fine, BUT, then found out they were using local spirits as didn’t want to pay charges I was told by the management. That is a rip off when behind the bar you only see the imported spirits. Service fit breakfast and lunch was incredibly slow for an empty hotel. Sat waiting for 20 minutes etc lobby, bar, grounds etc all superb. But that’s it.
