They gave us a room with two single beds and advised us to put them together to form one big bed. the room was dirty and the sheets were grey from all the dirt. there was... More

This hotel is mainly advertised to Russians and Italians so dont expect good old English queuing for the food etc But in exchange we found everyone much quieter than your average English resort. Wonderful! This hotel is clean and spread over a few acres, the gardens are pretty and its fairly quiet (we went in June - no school hols).... More

We stayed at Hilton Sharm in (Sep 2008) but decided to experience other hotels in neighbourhood so we bought an one-day entry in this Hotel. It was a really fun day!! swiming pool area is beautiful- I love a sea lighthouse:) and wave pool:)!!Beach is nice as well, but just too noisy.. and the entertainment was weirdly in italian.

It was a nice trip to Sharm El Sheikh. The hotel is nice, but needs a bit refurbishment. The restaurants are oké, but the breakfast is a bit boring after a few days. The city center is about 5 minutes by cab, 20 minutes by walk.

Unfortunately, what had begun as a very pleasant stay was ruined by three nights of interrupted sleep at the end of our holiday. This was due to the fact that the general manager's son had been given the suite next to our room and believed it was his right to play loud music and talk extremely loudly in the middle... More

I was working for two years as tour agent and a lot of my clients went to Egypt, and finally I did it too! There was not a big number of hotels to choose from and we decided to go to this one. Our holidays lasted only three days and most important things for us were - beach and sea.... More

There are a lot of russian clients over there, I had no problem with them. The hotel is not far from the inner city, which is 5 minutes by cab, or you... More
