Sofitel Old Cataract, Aswan Reviews

the best view ever i had seen, best services, and everything was perfect actually.

Fabulous place, wonderful staff for whom nothing is to much trouble and with the most stunning scenery from you balcony.Sunshine all the time what more could anyone wish for

Wonderful stay in this place out of time, which gives a glimpse of what happiness can be. Friendly staff, smiling and attentive, view of the Nile and the ruins that nothing can alter, access to a small port within the hotel for a felucca ride at sunset, infinity pool on the Nile, in short , magical !

It's my fav place since childhood
I hope i can visit it again one day to be the best day of my life

I'd like to thank everyone about the great hospitality and the amazing services..

I would like to be the owners of this great hotel :)

This place is really amazing. It is a piece of art that reflects the historical nature of the place along with the French style. It is really mesmerizing to have you tea in the terrace watching sunset beyond the west bank. Their signature restaurant, 1902 is a must to experience place. Staff helpfulness and friendliness completes this beautiful portrait.

Beautiful hotel, we did not live but has its charm.

This hotel they treat you like a royal king of Egypt

Very nice hotel. Beautiful architecture.Was featured in a Netflix show. Wonderful service great staff.

This place is the true "paradise" on the planet earth! We stayed there for 3 days, and enjoyed every minute of our time. Amazing Nile river view pool, savory breakfast, wonderful restaurants, courteous staff, and super comfortable and luxury rooms. We enjoyed our time during our visit in Sep 2018, and look forward to revisiting soon.

This hotel deserves the LEGEND status without doubt. Unlike many, this hotel has amazing views, historic significance with all modern conveniences and sophistication. It was a pleasure to enjoy the elegance of this location, service and indulgence. We hope to return soon.

The hotel is just great, both from the location, as well as the staff.
Even the new building is great

It is a very pleasant surprise of a trip to Egypt that will never cease to amaze. Eight hundred English style elegance surrounds you and you let yourself be lulled by emotions that are charging your heart and your memory. Returning from Abu Simbel there is nothing more pleasant than occupying a sun lounger by the pool and observing the evolution of feluccas that furrow the Nile. The sun gets low and blinks on the extracted obelisk not far away. It feels really lucky. Outside the lives of Aswan merchants and now nothing or almost amazes you of the smells or aphores that mix with the colors in an inimitable picture

Amazing hotel , with a sophisticated look at the river i really enjoyed being here

We enjoyed our stay the ancient cataract legend Aswan we will be back very soon Thank you Mr Mostafa Salem you made our stay memorable

The most beautiful hotel in Aswan with great pleasure and its distinctive location

Amazing Hotel with an impressive relaxing view from the rooms, great staff and amazing food... it s just a unique experience

Fantastic. Rooms of 150m2
Nile view.

Absolutely stunning. One of the best hotels I have ever been to.

Very elegant and certainly the best in the area. Average service and not always up to par

A legendary place where you can feel the Egyptian prestige

amazing place, too pricey for me, however definitely worth it

Most Scenic Views And Luxurious Mansion.Room Service Excellent. I Have Been There Twice. My Office Business Trip Also Succeeded.Luxurious And Colonial Type Rooms.And I Like The View Of Nile River.I Recommend This Hotel For Everyone.Specially Business Travellers.

A masterpiece and very respectable in dealing with us

I enjoy it.. it was really nice experience sure I will go back

The hotel was amazing. It really does not get much better in terms of views than this hotel. The rooms in the Palace wing were extravagent and fantastic. One note of caution, the service is a little relaxed in the Summer as it seems they run with a quarter their normal staff size. However the rather reasonable price point makes it worth the hassle.

very good
Victorian design

Amazing room, view of the River Nile from two balconies, pure Old World luxury, very attentive staff...highly recommend!

I cannot think of when I have enjoy a hotel more. On a scale of 1 to 10 The Legend is an 11.

The place is amazing great food, service and wonderful view

Very beautiful view. Especially the spectacular sunset at the terrace. Nice pool and spa.

a dream, as in a movie. The colonial side is preserved, it seems to change time, early crazy years. first a glass overlooking the Nile, then a gourmet meal on the terrace, a marvel. The personal is very caring

It's really a legend with its location, its gardens, its spacious rooms and its lovely food

The finest hotels I have ever known, as well as the nature of the people in South Upper Egypt, from the innate hospitality, honesty and dealings from the heart

The hotel is wonderful, it's the best hotel I have ever seen, I enjoy it.Amazing experience

No place is perfect. The concierge was either absent or didn't speak enough English to understand our requests. The tourists wandering through the lobby just rubbernecking detracted from my experience as a guest. The waiters on the terrace tended to be slow and sometimes forgetful - maybe they were understaffed. All that being said, it is a regal place with a storied past and every other staff member was attentive and pleasant. Definitely worth a visit.

If you are in Aswan for a few days, have a drink at the hotel old Cataract. Watch the sunset on the terrace with a beautiful view of the island of Elephatine. The hotel can only be visited from 4 pm. If there are no high-ranking people, you can always ask behind a tour. This nostalgic hotel built in 1899 has so much beauty that it is not surprising that the largest of the earth have stayed here.

The best hotel in Faswan, and it can be in all of Egypt ... with its archaeological value ... to Mayfush ... this was a rest for King Farouk Faswan

As usual....home away from home. The Sofitel Legend staff here at Old Cateract is exceptional! We have visited several Sofitel operated hotels but that personal connection is just not the same. From the security control to house keeping; they really care.

Sheer perfection, everything is perfect! A hidden treasure was shisha on te promenade overlooking the Nile!

Incredible hotel in great location with beauty views. Will return here.

This is a historic hotel that enjoys a fair and peaceful atmosphere

A magnificent touristic historical place with one of the best views ever, very professional stuff and magical environment, food and drinks are really good in addition to the great service

Of real luxury, the rooms are huge, they look like a house, the hotel has the charm of when the English were in Egypt, the restaurant is fine, but it is expensive for what they offer, and of course, the wifi is improvable and the reception of television too.
