Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel

Iconic hotel, where heritage meets modernity

Your sojourn leads you to the gates of Egypt. The warmth of the Nubian Desert presses against your skin as you behold the majestic Nile. A 19th-century Victorian palace rises from a ledge of pink granite. Welcome to Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan.

Selim Shawer, Hotel Manager

Step into the legendary site where King Fouad once entertained and Agatha Christie sipped cocktails: the 5-star Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel. In the Nubian Desert on the banks of the Nile, opposite Elephantine Island, the majestic hotel sits on a pink granite cliff overlooking the world's longest river. This ravishing hotel with its legendary guest list of royals and dignitaries is both ideal for romantic getaways, and a perfect venue for small summits and corporate meetings.

If you can tear yourself away from the beauty of the magnificent Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan, a world of fascination awaits you. Elephantine Island and the Aswan Museum are at your feet. The rock Tombs of Amarna, where ancient Egyptian nobles are buried, are close to the hotel. Aswan city centre is a stroll away. Other attractions to tempt you during your stay: the Nubian Museum, the Philae Temple, the Unfinished Obelisk... then return to indulge in French and oriental cuisine and wines.

I’d like to thank all of the staff from Old Cataract Hotel for the smiles and happiness they gave us. Both my husband and I very much appreciated the care my they were providing us gros those 5 days. The service was perfect from the first dinner to the last breakfast. The staff made sure we felt comfortable during our stay. Never did we see such perfect communication and organization. We also enjoyed the long talk with Ahmed and would have enjoyed it even if we had stayed longer. The view from our balcony was unbelievable. We mostly would like to thank Ahmed and are certainly coming back with our family. We have already recommended the place to our friends so they can relax and enjoy the memorable experience. see you very soon Elodie from paris

Comfortable stay, service to be improved

R. D. Couples - 03/08/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The setting is of course magical, the pool and the terrace restaurant are marvelous. However the service can improve. One day the room was being cleaned when we got back from breakfast (where we had spent nearly one hour), and the cleaning could therefore not be completed. Another day we called for the room service meal to be cleaned, and the person took the plates but not the dirty napkins, and did not clean the table... All the other experiences (pool, food by the pool, lunch on the terrace, drinks on the promenade, 5pm visit of the hotel) were impeccable.

Disappointed

philjbailey 17/02/2021 TripAdvisor review

Sadly. There were too many things that outweighed the quality of other things. We were both very disappointed with what should be good quality. But in fact was very poor, service and value for money. 1902 menu was poor. No menus in the rooms, they were using QR codes which was great, but waited 1 hour for a code to arrive for a menu. Phones not working in a signature suite so had to phone using a mobile. Door handles falling off the door to balcony, many of the shutters couldn’t be opened. Satellite stations all bad connections. Bar cocktail charges were fine, BUT, then found out they were using local spirits as didn’t want to pay charges I was told by the management. That is a rip off when behind the bar you only see the imported spirits. Service fit breakfast and lunch was incredibly slow for an empty hotel. Sat waiting for 20 minutes etc lobby, bar, grounds etc all superb. But that’s it.

Dear Valued Guest Bonjour We are really sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the experience in our hotel to the fullest as we strive to make each stay with us an unforgettable one. Discussions involving the respective team members and management have taken place to review your comments, and we would like to assure you that all of your concerns will be addressed and attended to. Although we sincerely regret your disappointment with your stay in our hotel, we would like to thank you for sharing your comments as it will help us to identify areas of concern and act immediately so as to enhance our future guests' experience among us. Thank you again for your visit and constructive critics, our primary goal being to assure our guests feel comfortable and fully enjoy their visits, we are eager to regain your confidence during another occasion if you gave us that chance Best regards, Mahmoud Fathy Guest Experience Manager
