    A fair review – pros and cons

    The stunning views of the Nile and Elephantine Island from various spots in the hotel make for an unforgettable backdrop. The attentive staff ensured a pleasant dining experience, especially at the exquisite 1902 restaurant.

    Service inconsistencies detracted from a truly five-star experience. requests were sometimes met with confusion and delays which felt puzzling for a luxury establishment.

    inconsistent service
    unfriendly manner
    breakfast issues

    The Sofitel Legend Old Cataract in Aswan truly impressed me with its majestic views of the Nile. My room was a spacious Palace Luxury Room with a balcony that perfectly framed the river and surrounding landscapes. I loved enjoying my morning coffee on the balcony, soaking in the serene atmosphere. The hotel's architecture captures the elegance of the British colonial era, making you feel like you're stepping back in time. The pool area was a great place to unwind, with attentive service ensuring I had everything I needed. I did notice some inconsistencies with service during my stay. While the reception and cleaning staff were exceptional, I faced some frustrations at breakfast. On my last day, I was asked to change tables, which felt unnecessary considering the circumstances. A five-star hotel should ensure that guests feel comfortable at all times. Additionally, the security staff approached me in a not-so-friendly way, questioning my presence. These experiences detracted slightly from my stay, but overall, the comfort and beauty of the hotel made it a memorable visit.

    poor coordination

    Impressive architecture, breathtaking Nile views, historic ambiance

    The new building lacks charm. it doesn't align with the stunning historic sections!!! Tours should be better coordinated to avoid guest frustrations. Alternatives to the buffet breakfast could enhance the experience!!!

    The stay was extraordinary, with breathtaking views of the Nile from my lovely terrace and an amazing deep-tissue massage at the spa. The pool area was a perfect spot to unwind and soak up the sun. Just a heads-up, the dining service was a bit slow during peak hours, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience! 🌞
