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.

An extraordinary place.. truly magical. More than wonderful views, rooms and services. Everyone is treating you like royalty and doing their best to please you. Cant wait to come back again to this exquisite place 💕💕💕

The property itself is very beautiful and well kept. We arrived very early and was informed that we would have to pay an extra fee for one the rooms that wasn’t disclosed online when it was booked. There was only one front desk person who wasn’t accommodating, but when asked for the manger he fixed everything. I would definitely stay again.

Extavegant royal place. Even the ordinary rooms are very spaceous ,and very very elegant. All facilities are there even a coffee machine in the room. The views are beyond incredible. The staff are very efficient ,professional ,yet friendly and treat you like royalty. You get a free tour to see the presidential Winston Churchill suite and Agatha Christie suite where Death on the nile was written .

We should have added one more night here as it was our favorite hotel in Egypt. Historical, beautiful, and in a perfect location with excellent service. Definitely take the tour if you can and do not miss the breakfast buffet.

Everything was perfect. Many thanks again to the staff who kindly organized a birthday surprise for my partner. The 1902 restaurant was an experience it self. The view form the room was spectacular and the pool facilities very comfortable. We had a wonderful time!

From the moment we entered the hotel, on our fourth visit, we felt immediately at home. Staff genuinely concerned about guest welfare and well-being, wonderfully-appointed rooms in the palace, choice of eating and drinking outlets with high quality, well-prepared dishes, magnificent pool and well-maintained gardens. Well appointed throughout. A comfortable, relaxing and peaceful stay at Old Cataract is guaranteed!

The moment you enter this property you are treated like royalty. I spend one night here with my husband and loved every bit of it.i stayed in a nile facing suite and view from the balcony of the room was spectacular and the room was excellent too. the staff were extremely hospitable and very efficient.this is indeed the best place to stay in Aswan,had a wonderful stay and if I do return to Aswan this hotel will be my first choice

We are regular guests here. A peaceful, relaxing place to stay, attentive, but unobtrusive staff, sumptuous rooms in the palace, well-maintained gardens and pool area and fabulous outdoor dining overlooking the Nile. This is a traditionally furnished hotel with a luxury feel and many original features. I cannot recommend the Old Cataract highly enough. Superb!

Great hotel, location, amazing helpful and accommodating team. Mustafa at the front desk was extremely professional and accommodating. reflected a true hospitality service. Rooms are big and clean. Steps away from the corniche and right on the banks of the Nile.

Everything was more than perfect Room area,facilities,food,and service Pool & resturants were prefect too Flooka at nile was amazing and safe Shisha was great View from the new building room amazing Staff was great too

Beautiful historic hotel on a beautiful spot. Staff super kind and keen to help. Rooms can be noisy due to absence of double glazed windows (old building of course). Food quality can be improved though. For instance winter palace in Luxor provides better food. Expect very high price especially for Egypt.

lots of history...we stayed in the old part of the hotel. I would recommend this section of the hotel..we had diner in the French resturant and the oriental resturant...both were great. I would also recommend having drinks on the patio. we had a great stay here...FYI we drove from Luxor to this property...I would recommend not taking the cruise but seeing all the small villages you drive by

We had a wonderful room with a large balcony overlooking the Nile. There's a nice swimming pool and terraces with views for eating and drinking and attentive service. The hotel is right on the Nile with its own pier. Highly recommended

I stayed for 2 nights on 27 & 28 Feb 2019. My suite with the Nile river view certainly lived up to expectations.Room has fabulous furnishings, comfy bed, & dressing room, coffee with capsule machine in a separate room, huge bathroom with bathtub,separate shower, toilet & bidet & nice toiletry. There are 2 balconies with lounge chairs, tables & sofas. I had 2 dinners at The Terrace and on both occasions the food are quite delicious. Lemon tart was a bit of a let down and they waived the charge. Such a great waiter 👍. Breakfast at the Oriental was a bit touch & go. Pastries & croissants definitely were not baked in the same morning. Luckily I wasn't particularly hungry. The other annoying bit is the taxes. They added sales & service taxes on your bill when it's charged to your room after meal/drinks which is ok by me as I expected that. But then, when you settled the final bill at check out, they added more tax on top of everything else. I'm totally bamboozled. Unfortunately I missed out on seeing the Agatha Christie's suite 😒
