The rooms are clean with gd showers, comfortable bed with gd mosquito nets, generous BBQ (with beer) and good breakfast spread. There has been no security issues in this area, the local Bedouin have a huge interest in keeping tourists safe - and with the dearth of tourists at the moment we got a personal sincere welcome.

After researching the chocies of accomodation available at st katherine, my wife and I decided to stay at this hotel for 2 nights in november 2010 and found the rooms very tidy and comfortable with hot showers and mosquito nets over the beds which we where thankfull to have.
We diden't eat at the hotels resturant so we can't coment about the food but we where more than happy with our room.
We booked it through the web site www.Daniela-hotels.com who we found very helpfull with any questions we had (supplied us with quotes for all our transfers etc) and also a lot cheeper than the price that they advertised at the hotel itself
We caught a bus from Cairo, the east delta bus service which took us around 7 and half hours to get to st katherine the bus driver droped us off at the hotel which is at the edge of the village and it is about a 5-10 minute walk into town from the hotel.a taxi to the monstery is around 15 mins and will cost you about 4 euro one way during the day, at night it is around 9 euro at about 2am in the morning if you are walking up the mountain for the sunrise.

I love hotels with chalet-style rooms, so I was very excited to pull up at the Daniela Village just as the sun was setting over the Sinai mountains. The location was beautiful, and the simplicity of the hotel complimented the barren landscape perfectly. It was colder up in the mountains than in Cairo where we had been previously, but we were given a warm reception, and were soon sitting down to a welcome buffet meal, where everyone could find something they liked. Me? I liked everything!

Like most of the tour groups using this hotel, we were here for one reason: to watch the sunrise from the top of Mount Sinai. Not only were we up at 1am, but so were the hotel staff, who laid on coffee for us before we left. I was a bit worried that I wouldn't get any sleep before our early start, but due to the quiet location, and perhaps the fresh mountain air, I didn't have any problems dozing off. Some of our group had issues with mosquitoes in the room, but we used the nets provided and didn't get bitten. The only visitor we did have was a mouse, but this was not due to any uncleanliness on the part of the hotel (our room was spotless); we were just that bit closer to nature. And once he was shooed out, he did not come back.

The Mount Sinai climb was spectacular, and well worth the early start. The hotel was well geared up for this and happily arranged meals, etc. around our slightly loopy schedule.

The Daniela was probably my favourite of all the hotels we stayed in on our tour, for the location and for the attitude of the friendly staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

We stayed here for one night in order to climb Mt Sinai and see St Katherine's monastery. There are not a lot of options in St. Katherines, but compared to the other 3 stars we stayed in in Egypt, the cleanliness was about the same (ie good enough). The meals were about 30 LE but were well worth it, especially after hiking up Mt Sinai! A great, diverse buffet. The beds were hard, but again, we found this all over Egypt. I would recommend this place for the food mostly.
