Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan

The hotel is obviously a legend, everyone knows it when they book... but the atmosphere and history will strike you even more when you are there. The byzantine restaurant for breakfast is wonderful and brings you back down memory lane, the old colonial architecture of the building with its dark mud colour are mesmerizing, the photos of celebrities who visited the hotel. for the past 100 years full of nostalgia, the views of the cataract and ancient houses with the slow felluccas sailing on the quiet nile are breathtaking, the magic of the old colonial palaces restored to their past beauty is overwhelming, the same way as it is for a Raffles in Singapore, Strand in Yangon, Imperial in Delhi or Metropole in Hanoi to name a few. But to keep a legend alive and contemporary, you need people, and that is also what Old Cataract has. Very well trained, very dedicated and impeccable staff. Among which i would like to command two of them who have been truly exceptional. Firstly, Marina from Guest Relations, who wente above and beyond with our children, entertaining them every day while she had so much to handle already and creating a real connection with them. And Mohamed Abdallah from the outdoor restaurant who offered tremendous service, was very personable and perfectly embodied the spirit of the Legend Old Cataract. Thank you very much again both, several months after leaving, we all still remember you vividly.

Pure luxury for a night before cruise. Amazing historical hotel, itself being the building, ground and views are beyond belief. Room I purchased for the night was top end luxury within room and spacious. 100% recommended if you can afford to stay here.

入住体验非常不错。因为酒店本身具有历史底蕴以及拥有非常漂亮的风景。酒店员工大部分都体贴周到。尤其是shawkat，入住的时候就非常周到，非常幽默风趣且清晰的用英文在酒店带我们进行了导览。让住客感受到酒店的历史和文化，对本次酒店体验而言是非常大的加分。他还对于学习新的语言学习中文抱有很高的热情～During my recent stay, I had the pleasure of joining a hotel tour led by Shawkat. His presentation was not only informative but also delivered with remarkable humor and charm. A heartfelt thank you to Shawkat for making my stay even more memorable. The hotel is lucky to have such a passionate and entertaining host. Highly recommend his tour to future guests!
