We loved our stay at the Old Cataract. I'd read some reviews about how it was past its hey-day, but we didn't feel that way at all. The service was excellent, from the bag handlers and golf-cart driver from the gate, to the reception, to the servers, and the pool staff. The food was more expensive than other places in Egypt, but we loved everything we ate. We had lunch on the Terrace, room service dinner, afternoon tea on the Terrace (what a view!) and they also made breakfast boxes for us to take at 6 am on our day trip to Abu Simbel. We had a late-afternoon Nile cruise to go visit one of the Nubian villages and since the Old Cataract is literally right on the Nile, they picked us up on the private dock. They must have upgraded us to a suite without us asking, because the room was huge! And gorgeous. The pool was clean and the view exceptional. And the pool staff were very kind, coming by with fruit skewers, spray bottles, and cold wet towels for our faces as we sunbathed. The whole experience exceeded all expectations.
Luxury hotel, clean, very nice and helpful staff, especially the reception, who gave honest and kind advice for traveling. The hotel is like a museum, capturing 19-20th century history. Across from the Elephatine Island, the location was perfect and the view was breathtaking, especially during sunset. Auto boats and feluccas available at the dock right below the hotel garden.
