“Fab hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We have just returned back home after staying at the Sonesta after a having a most enjoyable stay for two weeks. After reading some of the poor reviews before going we were worried I must say the hotel and it's grounds were fantistic, the staff are a credit to the hotel always polite, friendley nothing was to much trouble. The food was plentyiful with a good choice but could have been hotter on occassions. The hotel is occuppied by Russians mainly but this didn't present any problems. Hurghada is a traditional resort in Egypt not tourist built like Sharm, there are plenty of shops and the trips are very cheap. El Gouna is worth a visit we paid 100 Egyptian pound for 6 of us each way on the penny bus and had a great day out.

“a nice hotel for a relaxing holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

person found this review helpful

My firend and I were staying at the hotel in February this year and our stay was quite enjoyable.
The territory is vast enough but it was nice to take a walk as everything seemed well maintained. The food was generally good. We were on half board but that was enough for us as dinners were quite substantial. The service was also fine and helpful.The check-in and check-out procedures were fast and if we happened to inquire about something we always got polite,detailed and accurate answers at the reception. The stuff was friendly, helpful, like i said already, polite and, as compared to Tunisia for instance, not annoying. Though we are from Russia we spoke mainly English to the stuff but didn't find their level of the language awful and frightning))(I'm not a native speaker though =). On the contrary, we were mostly understood and the stuff demostrated sufficient understanding of our English as well. Our room was quite spacious and everything necessary was provided for us there. It was tidied up regularly, quickly and thoroughly enough.
Bearing in mind the price of the tour, which was affordable enough, the hotel's quite good with its helpful stuff, fine rooms and a nice territory.Even though it's not near the city center, there are enough facilities in the hotel area to keep guests busy and entertained, especially if it's a family type of a holiday. Unfortunately our vacation was interrupted by the notorious events taking place in Cairo due to the revolution and my friend was really reluctant to leave early as she enjoyed warm weather, the sea and her stay at Sonesta.
