Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan

The Old Falls is more famous than it is worth. The view of the Nile River is indeed unparalleled, but the hotel is just so-so. The overall area is actually quite small. There is a Carrefour opposite where you can park and stroll around.

The Nile River is absolutely beautiful. I thought that I might only come to Aswan this time and stay at the old waterfall. It's a good thing I stayed at the old waterfall. I really may not go to Aswan again. The service is a kind of performance-style "I will do my best to arrange the best for you", but it's actually nothing. Anyway, you have to strive for reasonable requirements yourself, which is the case for foreign hotels. By the way, the breakfast is super unpalatable!

Pros: The view is great, that's it, the rooms and hygiene are extremely poor, the service is basically non-stop, the feedback on requests is extremely slow, all real experiences, believe it or not, if you don't believe it, just come and feel it hahahahahaha, it's okay to spend 6,000 yuan to bask in the sun in Egypt anyway (people who wash for the hotel are welcome to come online)

The environment and scenery are great, and the restaurant is also good!

The best hotel in Aswan, with unbeatable room facilities and Nile view. The front desk, Agatha Churchill room tour, and breakfast service were all very good. However, the service of the dinner restaurant staff was average. It took several times to signal someone to come, and they didn't remind us that water was not free. The Carrefour opposite sold 60 and charged 320 at checkout, which was not a good experience.

Whether you come to Aswan and stay at the Old Falls or not is a different experience. When you walk into the hotel, all the waiters are dressed in special costumes and are polite. With the decoration of the old building of the hotel, it's like walking into an Agatha movie. The hotel has new and old buildings. In order to go to Abu Simbel and Philae, we didn't want to be a special forces soldier, so we stayed for two nights in a row, staying in the new and old buildings respectively. It turns out that both buildings are worth it. The first night was on the 7th floor of the new building. The view of the Nile River was amazing. With the view of the old building, it felt like looking at the historical scenes of Agatha from a God's perspective. The second night was on the 1st floor = 2nd floor of the old building. The corridor was very long, and the process of walking to the room felt like walking in an Agatha movie. Comparison of rooms in the new and old buildings: The new building is not particularly new, but the room is larger overall, the layout is more in line with modern living habits, the view of the Nile River is better, and all rooms can basically guarantee the river view. The decoration of the old building is very suitable for guests who want to experience history. It has more Egyptian characteristics. The area is not small, but the room layout is more cramped. Although the old building is not very high, it is closer to the Nile River. The view from the balcony is more immersive. The view under the sunset is not inferior to the new building, but the room types with good views are limited. We also communicated for a long time and waited for 1 hour before the hotel gave us the right room type. The bedding is all long-staple cotton, very comfortable Breakfast: not very rich but the taste is OK. The hotel will arrange to visit the celebrity rooms according to the sunset time. We visited Agatha's room through the hotel. The room is very large and retains Agatha's desk. The view from the balcony of the room is also very good. Someone checked in Churchill's room that day (too rich). After the visit, on the way back to the room, a waiter happened to deliver food to Churchill's 1101. I used my social skills to chat with the American guest. He enthusiastically invited us to visit. It was half a colleague, so we chatted for a long time on Churchill's terrace. I stayed for two nights and was reluctant to leave. It is worthy of being the best series of hotels in Accor.
