“Ottoman empire style, the best location in the region, caring (at times too much) staff”

Reviewed 12 June 2013 NEW

we friends stayed as a layover from Luxor on the way to Abu Simbel. Rooms were in the new wing: fully refurbished, stunning contemporary design, WiFi, balcony overlooking the Nile bend - i was impressed by the quality! Please keep in mind this part of Egypt does not have too much luxury to offer, so Sofitel is the top choice... More

“Dream place”

Reviewed 4 June 2013

We have been really impressed by this hotel and its staff. We were upgraded for free to a prestige Nile view suite which was simply wonderful. The pool was beautiful and great atmosphere too. We had dinner at the 1902 restaurant, marvelous interior. The restaurant staff was exceptional. I wish we stayed longer there. Agatha Christie would still like it... More

“Beautiful hotel, beautiful location.”

Reviewed 3 June 2013

My husband, nine year old daughter and I stayed for just one night at The Cataract at the end of our Egyptian adventure! We actually left our cruise boat a day early because we wanted to spend a night here. Having booked a room in the new wing, we were delighted to arrive and be told that we had actually... More

“Serene and Beautiful”

Reviewed 21 May 2013

We waited three years to stay at The Old Cataract due to the renovations. It was worth every minute of the wait, we stayed in the Old Wing (down the corridor from Agatha Christie's Suite) in the most stunning suite overlooking the Nile. On arrival our welcome couldn't have been better, Amira Gerges made us feel really special and made... More

“Enchanting Place on the Nile”

Reviewed 19 May 2013

This is a truly magical place, overlooking the Nile and Elephantine Island. Make sure you get one of the suites in the historical main building - you will be blown away by the character and charm. Everything is beautiful and serene - yet it is a great starting point to explore Aswan or other highlights in Southern Egypt, including Abu... More

“Beautiful hotel with stunning views”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

We decided to splurge and stay at the Old Cataract for a night, and I am very glad we did. Our room was in the new wing, which had lovely views of the hotel, the Nile, and surrounding areas. Wi-fi in the room was excellent. The staff we interacted with were polite and accommodating. Were we to return to Aswan,... More

“Very Disappointing Service”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

I'd like to start by saying I didn't actually stay at the hotel (it was on our list of possibilities but due to there being young kids in our group we went with the Moevenpick) but we had wanted to visit, so we took a Felucca to the dock for tea on the terrace. The greeting we received was less... More

“Bad room design”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

How could anyone not give five stars to a hotel with fantastic appointments, wonderful service, multiple restaurants, old-world charm, and great views? The room put the Internet desk at the foot of the bed with a large chair. When someone sits at the desk, it cuts the room in two. You can't pass from side to side without laboriously moving... More

“Beautiful luxury hotel in a dreamlike location.”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

I've stayed at many 5-star hotels but this was probably the best stay yet. I stayed in a suite in the new wing and it was supremely comfortable and decorated with a beautiful color palette. The staff was extremely attentive, friendly, and accommodating. I tried all 3 restaurants and the fish dish I had in the lobby restaurant was divine.... More

“Almost a perfect stay”

The hotel and site iare marvelous: the foyer and reception area is very welcoming and the reception staff are all very nice. Our room was in the "new" building: amazing and we were upgraded to a bigger room. I would have organised the room differently (with the "living room" by the window instead of the bathroom) but otherwise it's perfect.... More
