“Beautiful hotel with stunning views”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

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 NEW

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”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

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

“Amazing location/building/decor/food let down by terrible service”

Reviewed 21 April 2013

I stayed at the Old Cataract for three nights in mid-April. I chose the Old Cataract as a (dear) treat for myself and my elderly parents, who were in town for work. Let's start with what is fantastic about the hotel: a splendid location with jaw dropping views of the Nile, perfectly landscape gardens and grounds, excellent facilities (great pool... More

“There are many 5 star hotels but not many views like this”

Reviewed 17 April 2013

Perhaps I am easily impressed but I was. The foyer of this hotel is very grand and they may have changed the furniture but it's still pretty impressive. Your man will sign you in and once they have an imprint of your card it's off to the Nile wing (probably) to see your room. Everything you want - aircon is... More

“Highly disappointed”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

It was my first stay AFTER the renovation, and what I found was far below what I experienced in my previous stays at the Hotel, far below my expectation of a "great renovation". No charm anymore, 90% of the antiquities have vanished, the breakfast and high tea food was poor, eating with stainless steel cutlery (where is the old silver... More

“One of the most beautiful hotels in Egypt, but…”

Reviewed 30 March 2013

I stayed in this hotel 3 nights with my wife in January 2013. The weather at this time was perfect. Old cataract is certainly one of the most gorgeous hotels in Egypt. Located in Aswan in front of the first cataracts of the Nile River, the landscape is absolutely superb. As so many well know personalities resided in this hotel... More

“Perfect services inspire of slow touristic flow and tight economic situation”

Reviewed 29 March 2013 via mobile

Perfect services inspire of slow touristic flow and tight economic situation. The location is beautiful. The renovation job tried to keep the same old style but with updated bathrooms and technology. The service at the Resturante especially 1902 was perfect although we were almost the only people at one time. The food was superior to any level even to top... More
