Elizabeth H TripAdvisor review

We would love to stay at the hotel but have not stayed yet - BUT we had lunch here for a Birthday whilst on a Nile Cruise. What a lovely place to visit – especially if you are an Agatha Christi fan or enjoyed the original Death on the Nile film as the hotel features. We visited while on a Nile Cruise – we wanted lunch to celebrate a birthday. Although we were not able to book in advance as they don’t take non-resident bookings we turned up just before 12 noon and paid a ticket entry (refundable against drinks or food) This stops people just wandering in to look round. We were able to eat in the restraint or on a terrace – the main covered terrace is residents only but we were able to select a table in the corner of the terrace next to this with a good umbrella and some shade from the building. We had a lovely lunch impeccably served with a lovely view over the Nile. Perfectly acceptable prices including Wine. Warning though wherever you go in Egypt take care not to order imported drinks as there is a massive import duty. It was a birthday, so we pushed the boat out but be warned. After lunch we had a lovely walk around the ground floor and the gardens – absolutely fab and we would love to stay there some time in the future.

great location but food average

An excellent restaurant in the Old Cataract Hotel with a lovely menu and great service. There are many tables overlooking the Nile with so much to see while enjoying your delicious dinner. The staff are helpful and charming and we had the additional bonus of 3 musicians playing Egyptian music which enhanced the evening. The food was delicious and we even saw the bread being freshly baked. Miriam, one of our waiters was so interesting to talk to about the hotel and restaurant and like so many of the staff here, takes a great pride in her job

Overpriced and missable

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

PeterBarras TripAdvisor review

One of those places that you sort of feel obliged to visit, and they know this so charge accordingly. It is a lovely hotel and the views from the balcony and pool area are very nice, but is essentially a tourist trap Personally I wouldn't be back
