The property was beautiful, well maintained, perfectly located and exceptional views. The Old Cataract team was exemplary in their hospitality, generosity, thoughtfulness and professionalism. Truly a 5 star experience. Highly recommended.

everything! Great view of the Nile, beautiful indoor pool, delightful breakfast. The staff was so helpful and accommodating. We LOVED our stay here!

Location, room and staff are all fantastic. unfortunately, with over $500 per night we paid, breakfast was horrible and really did not live up to the 5 star standard.

Wonderful historic hotel with a great location on the banks of the Nile. Beautiful grounds, garden and pool. Exceptionally comfortable rooms and beds. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent food in a number of restaurants. Good gym. Boats can be hired from the hotel dock for a sunset cruise around Elephantine Island—really fun. Would return in a heartbeat.

I would like to say the pictures of the hotel are beautiful and great on the internet, but you have to experience this hotel in person. The wonderful staff from driving up to the hotel gates are amazing and classy. So where can I start with this dream vacation of me and my wife. The security team and Mr. Mustafa was courteous from the check-in. We later entered the beautiful garden and reception area and was greeted by Mohammed Khaled. He was the best and treated us well from the beginning of our visit until the last day. My wife became slightly ill on one of our day's visiting this historical hotel. He sent out help to retrieve the necessary medication so her and I can continue our dream vacation. It so many things to list but the great restuarant staff is top shelf. The great Chef Mr. Zackariya and staff entertained our taste buds with wonderful meals on our entire stay. We recommend visiting The Catarat Hotel and plan to visit again in the future.

A true 5-star experience in every way. History coupled with luxury and a most welcoming staff are only a few of the things that made our stay exceptional. Special thanks to Mariam at the reception, who was so friendly, helpful, and kind to an overwhelming degree. Both me and my wife are grateful to her kind hospitality. Keep up the great work Mariam. I would certainly come again to this fabulous property to enjoy this unique experience again.

The hotel is one of my favorite places on earth.. luxury, historic, beautiful restaurants, (more on that in a minute) ,gorgeous rooms heavenly pool. And the VIEW! Spectacular.. this was our 2nd time at the old cataract. And it is the most beautiful and best hotel in egypt.

What to say about this Hotel ? Yes, it’s expensive, but I can describe it in just one word -> AWESOME !

Majestic location with Great and friendly staff and superb food

Beautiful hotel, felt like royalty the second I stepped foot on the property. A lot of history within those walls. From my room had an amazing view of the Nile!
