In my mind, there is no way to replace the Old Waterfall Hotel. The price during the Spring Festival is still moderate, a little over 4,000. I stayed in a river view room in the new building for one night. The room is very large, with a living room area and a very large cloakroom. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, so you won't feel cramped no matter how you play. At the same time, the swimming pool in the hotel is a heated swimming pool, so it's no problem to go there in winter. You can swim and lie around it. It's also very comfortable. The main thing is that the atmosphere of this hotel is so good. Whether you are eating, swimming in the hotel, or strolling in the garden, you feel like you are in the White Lotus Resort. It's very, very good

After checking in and entering the room on the 8th floor of the hotel on February 6, a drone flew to the glass lamp on the balcony, and the glass exploded all over the floor. After the incident, the hotel manager explained that it had nothing to do with them and did not want to be responsible. He asked us to communicate and solve the problem with the drone flyer by ourselves, and did not mention their security negligence. After communicating with Ctrip customer service, they kept dragging their feet and not solving the problem. Every time when the time node agreed to give the result was reached, the reply they got was always that there was no result yet and more time was needed. No matter how good the hardware facilities are, I will never come to such a hotel again! In addition, I have already written an email to the Chinese Embassy in Egypt to complain and am waiting for the result.

I went to Aswan because of the Old Falls. This section of the Nile near the hotel is probably the most beautiful section in the whole of Egypt. You don’t have to do anything here, just quietly feel the beautiful sunrise and sunset of the Nile.

這個酒店是我在埃及住的最好的酒店了,餐廳、房間、公區都很好,和酒店外面就是兩個世界。阿加西的房間是要提前一天預約的,我們正好趕上預約的人在參觀,我們和服務員説明瞭一下,明天就退房了,服務員就同意我們進去一起參觀了,真是很幸運。

春節期間人很多,能被安排提前入住還蠻驚喜的。整體都很不錯,更推薦老樓。另外員工對住户非常熱情,但因為酒店裡並不全是住户,導致被不同的員工反覆來追問房號,有的甚至追了百來米,體感非常不好。如果無法完全管控外來食客,索性別對外開放餐廳,要麼就別管那麼多,搞得那些非住客也有落差。
