Step into the legendary site where King Fouad once entertained and Agatha Christie sipped cocktails: the 5-star Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel. In the Nubian Desert on the banks of the Nile, opposite Elephantine Island, the majestic hotel sits on a pink granite cliff overlooking the world's longest river. This ravishing hotel with its legendary guest list of royals and dignitaries is both ideal for romantic getaways, and a perfect venue for small summits and corporate meetings.

The main feature of this hotel is it's location on top of a hill overlooking the Nile. Also, you are able to use the facilities of its sister hotel, Basma Hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, esp Meera who organised drivers and tour guide for us at short notice. The room was clean and spacious, and bathroom had all amenties, however the shower cubicle was on the small side and shower curtain just a couple cms too short so difficult to avoid getting the floor wet.

The hotel is not as good as expected. Thereās no Nile view from our room, located at 2nd floor nor from the restaurant, so we didnāt see Nile from the hotel at all.
The service didnāt make us feel welcomed. The receptionist didnāt say hello or welcome, and looked impatient. When we asked if the hotel has first aid kit, as my husband was scratched by a cat and needed sanitary treatment, the receptionist just directly said āNoā, although he promised to check and came back to us, he didnātā¦
The room is good but the bathroom is quite old and the AC heat function didnāt work - itās just around 8 degree during night in Aswan.

The hotel is very good, equipped with tennis courts, swimming pools, and golf courses. The scenery is great, you can see the Nile River as soon as you open the window. The bed is also very soft, and they also gave two extra quilts and two pillows for free. But it costs more than 1,000 pounds, which is a bit expensive. The breakfast is also very good. The hotel is also very cheap.

Meeting the blue lotus means meeting the beauty of Egypt
The most satisfying and cheapest hotel in Egypt on this trip, the view is not inferior to the Old Falls Hotel, the front desk is very nice, the restaurant waiters will enthusiastically ask you if you want the meal to be delivered to the room, and will help you reheat the meal because it is windy in the open-air restaurant. In Egypt, you can actually meet waiters who refuse tips (because they are Blue Lotus). I can't praise it anymore, hahaha, because the hotel's reception capacity is limited.

The B&B has three rooms. The rooms are newly renovated, small and clean. We got room 3. We can see the Nile River in the morning light through the window. The welcome drink mango juice is delicious. You need to take a ferry at KFC for 10 EUR/person/time to the B&B. If you don't mind waiting for the boat and carrying a 26-inch luggage up the stairs, you can consider it.

The check-in process became a bit unpleasant as their stated policies did not match what was written in our trip.com booking confirmation. This included check-in time and number of guests for the room. We included our children and even had their ages listed in the confirmation. Upon check-in we were told that it was only a room for two adults. We were then instructed to pay extra for one child. Policies should be conveyed clearly when booking so we can know what to expect.
Otherwise, the room had a beautiful view and the kids enjoyed the large pool. The breakfast buffet had a great selection.

The Obelisk Hotel Aswan is the most amazing hotel I stayed in Aswan. I like it very much. It is right next to the Nile River. It is also the cleanest hotel I have stayed in Aswan. The staff provided excellent service and had a good attitude. The rooms were also cleaned very cleanly. The hotel has a restaurant with freshly squeezed juice. Orange juice is only more than ten yuan. The location is very good. There are KFC and McDonald's around. I can also take a boat next to the hotel. The boat weighs 200 pounds. Then I saw the Nubian village.

There aren't many hotels in this remote place like Aswan, so don't ask too much. Those who have been to Egypt know the situation of hotels, so there's no need to say more. This hotel doesn't provide water, so you may need to prepare it in advance. The balcony can see the Nile River, with a road in the middle. The guy at the front desk was very enthusiastic. I asked about taking the bus to Abu Simbel. I didn't have time to eat breakfast because I had to catch the bus. In fact, judging from the results, it was edible. It was very fast to take a taxi from the hotel to the bus station, and the bus was also slow and started half an hour late. Going there early was mainly to buy tickets in advance to avoid the tickets being sold out due to the large crowds, although it was unlikely.

GGuest UserExcept for the unstable hot water, hot and cold, and very few breakfast varieties, everything else is nice and the scenery is unparalleled. The food in the hotel's restaurant is good. You can only pay in US dollars. There is Nubian musical instruments playing in the evening. There is no wine for sale in the hotel. Passengers who drink alcohol need to buy it outside
MMothaisWe arrived at night, so we didn't know what it was like outside, but we were worried about the bumpy roads.
We arrived safely at the hotel and checked it in the morning and found it in the souvenir district.
It felt like a hotel in a village away from town, but the view was nice and the staff was friendly.
I am glad I booked the hotel pick up and drop off.
We requested that breakfast be served on the move.
AAnonymous UserLocated in the middle of a Nubian village, this hotel is very different to the polished world of resorts and cruise ships that most tourists will see when they come to Aswan. There is a market in the area where you can buy spices, teas, and jewelry. The aesthetic and vibe of the place is bright and colorful, the people are super friendly and there are a lot of camels. Nubian Palace is not just a hotel, but also a coffee shop and restaurant. The food is AMAZING! They even packed us a breakfast box for our early morning flight.
JjzycnThis is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for āaccommodationā itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village.
First of all, you have to be able to tolerate:
1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel.
2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide).
3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it.
4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel.
5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person...
What did we get here?
1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am.
2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic.
3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic.
4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles.
5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay.
GGuest UserI flew to Aswan and booked a hotel in this ancient Nubian village on Ctrip. The host of the hotel was very hospitable. He first handed over two cups of local scented tea, introduced the local customs, and also took a tour of the village culture for free. The room was clean and tidy beyond our expectations and air conditioning was provided. The hotel owner also helped us book a 7 o'clock SUV trip to the Temple of Ramses II, 280 kilometers away, at a discounted price of $90 the next morning. They also prepared breakfast for us to take on the road, thank you very much! The Nubians are very kind and innocent. It is said that they are descendants of the ancient Egyptian kingdom. They are an Egyptian tribe with historical origins, which are different from the Cairo people who are mixed immigrants.
JJuanxincaibutaijuanThe scenery is quite good. The service attitude is quite average. I went to the front desk and asked if I could pay for the room in Egyptian pounds. My attitude was extremely harsh. I didn't want to move to the hotel on the second night, so I inquired about extending my stay. The front desk asked me to go back to the room and call me. In the end, I didn't receive a call, so I checked out directly. The rooms in this hotel are quite large, and the facilities are relatively old. It feels like they are chosen by locals. In addition, you must choose the number of people according to the actual number. I accidentally selected one person, and ended up paying a price difference of dozens of dollars.
GGuest UserWhat you see is what you get, very cute place. The whole village is super cute in dopamine style! ļæ¼ Breakfast is delicious, you can eat on the balcony and the scenery is particularly good, directly see the Nile! ļæ¼ The sister of the homestay also took me to touch the little crocodile for free! Super experience! This small village is especially suitable for hanging out and relaxing for a leisurely day!
MmsscullyThe door is the largest Souk in Aswan. It is very convenient to buy some snacks and water and coffee. Of course, you have to bargain. Hotel room facilities and hygiene are the level of the guest house, but the service is really good! There is a girl who can speak Chinese at the front desk, which is really cute! Very very friendly to the Chinese! Introduce us to delicious restaurants, and remind us to get up early to Abu Simbel to catch up with the hotel breakfast, the hotel can pack breakfast! The hotel is very close to the Nile River and it takes 10 minutes to walk. If you are in a good mood, you can sneak to KFC. Some local restaurants along the river can also try it. This season, the riverside wind is strong, a bit cold ļ½ Aswan hotels, basically two extremes, the price is OK here. But the hotel will have a power outage for an hour every day, I don't know why, and there are a lot of mosquitoes! The baby was bitten very poor... If you want to come, take precautions ļ½
GGuest UserThe most important thing in this hotel is not food, though it is perfect, and not even a stunning view from the windows - sincere location and readiness of Ahmed Shauki - the manager and host of the hotel, to help its guests in everything - that 's what makes Villa Misk the best!
GGuest UserThe room I booked has a view of the Nile River. The location is also better. The room is big enough. The shower head leaks a little. Everything else is fine. However, I recommend you to book on-site at the hotel front desk. The price will be much cheaper than booking online. Based on my order For example, it will be 1/3 cheaper.
