this 4* hotel shoud be rated max 1,5*!!! (I have travelled to Egypt now 8 times and can compare between different egyptian hotel standards), if you expect a 1* sevice you will be happy, but if you expect a 4* service please do not go!
-"main bulding" must be well over 30 years old, and yes, one can feel the maturity (same goes for the furniture)
-if you will be happy enough to get a room on 3rd or 4th floor you will have a see view, but unfortunalelly overlooking some very noisy generator from the nearby holiday inn
-we had to ask everyday for maintance as water in the shower was dripping rather than running
-beach is sandy, but to be able to enjoy sunchair one has to "reserve" a night before (wonderful german/russian custom, not only specific to this hotel)
-food ok, but service and cleningness of the restaurant very very poor
-there is a tennis court in front of the main bulding, but be careful of the potholes
-every staff is speaking to you in russian...(guess its ok for russians, and yes, they are majority in the hotel
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AND I WILL NEVER GO BACK
