What guests think

Guests love the pools and spa and the sweeping Nile views. Breakfast and on-site restaurants earn praise, though several note dinners can be just okay or pricey, and one-off service or maintenance issues appear occasionally. A few mention limited pool sunbeds and the property being a bit far from the airport. Expect a luxurious, scenic stay with standout rooms and relaxing amenities.

This is a most luxurious hotel with large rooms with balconies, huge bath. And the bed is the softest--like sleeping on a cloud. Love the public spaces. A gem to be found in Aswan on the Nile. The food was only ok. But the service was great. We had the most expensive martini I have ever had at the bar! $42! But I would still return if in Aswan.

This hotel is an oasis in the middle of a chaotic area on the Nile. I can't say enough good things about this hotel and it's staff. This is a top notch place to stay exceeding all of my expectations. The location is terrific, the rooms are oversized in the new wing, and boats are docked right at the hotel for taxi rides up the river. The ambiance is romantic and relaxing, with a spa on site. I will return to this one!

Para quem vai a aswan para visitar o templo de Abul Simbel, não tem outro hotel a se hospedar a não ser o Sofitel Legend Old Catarct. O hotel é maravilhoso, piscina externa linda com vista para o rio nilo, a piscina é um pouco aquecida para aqueles que não gostam de agua fria, conta ponto para quem vai no inverno. A piscina do spa é coberta e é incrivelmente linda. Os quartos são enormes, cama excelente, ar condicionado e aquecimento, sacada com vista para os jardins e para o rio nilo. Café da manha é muito bom com uma boa variedade. O único ponto negativo que vi é que achei a comida cara pelo que é oferecido nos pratos, principalmente para quem vai almoçar ou jantar no hotel.

Magical setting right on the Nile! Beautiful and historic building, fabulous swimming pool and spa for relaxing (highly recommend Donya at the spa for massages and body scrub), fantastic restaurants (3), and the staff was so friendly and attentive. We spent New Year’s Eve and 6 days before on the property and it was a magical vacation. Visits of historic sites in the mornings and then relaxing by the pool in the afternoons. Perfect vacation

We had multiple bookings for this property and both were great. Our first was in the original building with a garden view. The rooms are older but very well maintained so they don't feel old or dated in any way, plus they are quite large. Staying in this building is very convenient for dining as all the restaurants but the Egyptian grill are here including the breakfast buffet. Our second booking had us in the newer building with a Nile view. This room was amazing, pretty much apartment size and the balcony was quite large with AMAZING views of the Nile and sunset. Of the two I would definitely choose the newer building rooms as my favorite but both were great. Staff at the hotel were fantastic. Breakfast was delicious but doesn't have any serving stations like a buffet, so no eggs. Dinners were just okay. Their food seems to cater to elderly British tastes. The best of the restaurants was the Egyptian one at the newer building. All that said the stay was amazing and by far the best hotel in Aswan.

Iconic place filled with historical and majestic vibes. Everything was great. Food was delicious. The piano player at 1902 restaurant at dinner was phenomenal playing um Kalthoum and other classic Arabic music. Really memorable. The staff is polite and extra kind and gracious. The wooden stairs were not so clean and had webs at some corners.

My wife and I stayed at this Historical hotel so look over the Niles, to experience a part of history, and also to enjoy a bit of luxury in a classy way. This hotel meets all of our expectation. About the only negative thing is that's a bit far from the airport, and haggling with the local taxi driver requires way too much effort.

Fantastique ! Tout est parfait ! L'hôtel est magnifique à l'intérieur et tout est fait pour qu'on puisse s'y sentir très bien. La vue de la chambre donnant sur le Nil est incroyable. Agréables surprises et attentions à mon arrivée dans la chambre. Tout le personnel est agréable et se plie en 4 pour vous satisfaire dans la joie et la bonne humeur. Les deux piscines sont très appréciables. En bref une belle parenthèse où l'on est dans une véritable bulle. Bon petit déjeuner avec du choix, juste un petit problème avec le room service (mauvaise garniture du plat, différent de celui annoncé sur la carte/menu et en dessert les macarons sont très basiques) Excepté cela un séjour inoubliable !
