Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan

As expected,sensation. Large, spacious and elegant. I would have stayed a month, but time only permitted a short stay.

Fantastic Property with lovely staff. Nardeen (who was an excellent host) was kind enough to give us a tour of some of the historical areas of the hotel including Winston Churchill’s and Agatha Christie’s suites. 6 Star Property and service.

Sofitel Legend Old Cataract is a truly beautiful and classy hotel that stands out as the best place I stayed in Egypt. The atmosphere felt grand and opulent, with every detail reflecting elegance and history. I had the opportunity to stay in a spacious suite that interconnected with the Winston Churchill suite, which made the experience feel even more special. The suite was beautifully designed, with a large and very comfortable bed that made it easy to relax. The marble bathroom was impressive, generous in size and finished to a very high standard. One of the highlights was the balcony overlooking the Nile, offering peaceful and unforgettable views. The hotel grounds are also lovely, with a nice garden that adds to the charm and serenity of the hotel. Dining at the hotel was excellent throughout my stay. Breakfast offered everything you could need, including freshly squeezed juices, fresh fruit and vegetables, pastries, egg menu as well as Egyptian and Middle Eastern dishes. I chose to have dinner at the hotel each evening and was consistently impressed. The food was delicious and nutritious every time. My favourite dining experience was at 1902 restaurant, which requires dressing up and adds to the sense of occasion. Every dinner there was outstanding, both in quality and presentation. Although the hotel was busy, the service remained strong. The concierge was particularly helpful and resolved any issues immediately, which made the stay smooth and enjoyable. Overall, I found Sofitel Legend Old Cataract to be a really special place to stay, comfortable, beautifully set, with great food and genuinely excellent service that made the whole experience feel memorable.

The minute you entered the grounds you were transported to another time, one of serenity, elegance and superb hospitality. I would be amiss, if I didn’t mention the extra courteous attention that HerbSimon gave to my two daughters and I as we visited for a relaxing afternoon. Even the gate security man took our pictures. The entire experience was uplifting and I would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely stay, everything was spot on and the staff were absolutely brilliant. Would definitely come back.
