I stayed here only for one night because I would have been frustrated and had regrets had I not done so. Why did I not stay longer? Simply because of the price - more than double for one night than I paid for 5 nights at the Sofitel karnak Luxor, but then the two hotels are not in the same... More

We had a lovely time in tranquil Aswan. We had a nice view of the feluccas from our window. The portrait of the Nile from our window was breathtaking and extremely regal. The interior of the hotel is a bit musty, but the decor fit the atmosphere. Take in the view of the sunset from the terrace while sipping on... More

I should preface this by saying that I stayed several times at the Old Cataract before refurbishment and this time I did not stay as it was not clear that it would have re-opened in time when I booked. But I did visit several times during a visit to Aswan and dined with friends who were staying there. The Good:... More

Having enjoyed a number of meals in the1902 restaurant, years before the refurbishment, we decided to visit it whilst in Aswan in October 2011. We were only in Aswan for three nights and chose the night after their press launch to go with two friends. It’s an impressive room, as ever, and the restaurant is well appointed; tableware, glassware, flatware... More

We recently returned from a Nile Cruise and whilst in Aswan, decided to take afternoon tea a the Old Cataract in Aswan. It was absolutely wonderful. We were treated exceptionally well as non residents, had a wonderful afternoon tea overlooking the Nile in all her glory, as the sun was setting. After our tea, we were taken and shown around...

Wife & I were staying some time in Aswan & decided to take a look at Old Cataract for a possible few nights of luxury. Grounds are beautiful, but the positive impression ended on the lawn. We decided to try out the restaurant for tea & cakes before looking at a room. After sitting for 10 minutes, a waiter arrived... More

A truly remarkable hotel which has been renovated with no expense spared. We were given a set of three rooms which were in the modern annex (formerly the new cataract hotel). The views over the Nile and the hotel gardens were magnificent, and the rooms were very spacious and extremely luxurious. The service was impeccable without being overbearing, and there... More

One of the finest hotels in the World in terms of Character and Location. Service is not quiet there yet and Sofitel need to do more thorough training as staff pretend they understand you and have no real idea. Everyone greets you in French but most of them cannot converse in French. Prices are too high for Egypt though and... More
