Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan

Although the hotel is beautiful, the price/performance ratio is not high. It is not worth the price. The hardware is very old. The water in the bathroom drains very slowly and it is easy to accumulate water.

I booked a Nile River view room. The room has a beautiful view and is in the new building, but it is only on the 3rd floor. The hotel check-in is not at the regular bar. Someone will help you in the lounge area. Just make a request at this time. Because I drove 8 hours to the hotel, I didn't have the energy to change it, and I didn't know if I could change it. Dinner at the 1902 restaurant must be reserved, and you must dress formally. Breakfast is free. You can experience the hotel's spa, which is on the 1st floor of the new building. The therapist is skilled and comfortable. He massaged my twisted neck in Abu Simbel, but you have to make an appointment one day in advance. It is worth staying. I went to Aswan just for this hotel and was not disappointed.

The hotel is located on a row of pink granite on the banks of the Nile in Aswan, across the river from the black rock Elephantine Island. The balconies of some rooms overlook the world's longest river, with excellent scenery. The hotel has a long history and still retains its original Victorian elegance, recreating the mythical luxury. The collision of the Moorish dome, Byzantine arches and Arabic colors in the room is extremely elegant and romantic. The famous Suite 1201 where Agatha once stayed for a long time was a pity that I didn't have the chance to see it. This hotel also has the famous 1902 French restaurant, which is named after Churchill who stayed there in 1902. Dinner requires reservations and formal dining. Guests staying in the hotel have free breakfast here every day, so they can get a glimpse of it. It is a classic old-fashioned elegance, but it is a pity that the beauty is old. I prefer the Terrace restaurant, which is located on the terrace outside the lobby bar and overlooks the entire Nile River. Sitting here while eating delicious food and watching the Nile River is like watching the history of Egypt, and I can't bear to blink.
