“Dissappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2008
2
people found this review helpful

I had tried to check on this hotel prior to arriving but didnt realise that it wasnt under 'The Sun Hotel' but was listed under The Raouf , if I had read the prevous comments would not have gone.

I cannot understand that with all the negative comments over a long period the hotel hasnt impoved at all. I could list all of the problems but they would be just the same, the hotel facilities are all closed (inlcuding restaurants and recreational facilities which would have been chargable at the hotel), but most of the staff are excellent and try their utmost in what is a desperate plight.

It is most definitely not 5* all inclusive, the water was either off or came through rusty orange.

Egypt has a wealth of history and the culture must be seen but dont stay here it will spoil your visit.

Stayed February 2008

“Do Not Go There”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2008

people found this review helpful

Hotel booked as 5 star. Definitely not. Every thing that is advertised does not exist. New Years eve Gala only british were excluded. We Had all paid our different travel agents. When travel agent said that it was included. Bars and lounge were closed. Everyone sitting in lobby in the evening freezing cold. no entertainment as staff left on mass one evening. No boiling water to make tea. Glass tabler tops filthy.
Food was the same day in day out lunch and dinner. The only fruit was oranges. We were informed by our Rep that YOU TRAVEL had pulled out of the hotel as there were too many people complaining. That says it all.

  • Liked — Being collected to go home
  • Disliked — Arriving at the hotel Because when we asked a rep at airportabout hotelhe just said Happy New Year

“Very Good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2007

people found this review helpful

Whilst reading previous reviews I can understand some comments, as I would not have it as a 5 star hotel, but we were treated very well by all the staff and could not complain about the room or its cleanliness, we had clean sheets and towels daily and the poolside towels were readily available. The pool was tended to everyday and kept clean. The food was ok as well as there was always something you could choose from and the waiters were very polite and kind. We would, and hope to return in the new year, and hopefully see some changes to the lazy river tho as it was in dire need of some attention. I like to think that we are not alone in our views on The Sun, and hopefully we will enjoy a return visit.

This is the worse hotel I have been to in my life. It is a mess the food was terrible. You could not get a drink and was smelly. Do not go to this Hotel. This is the first time I have ever wrote a review but the hotel is so bad I had to stop people ruiening their holiday. Stephen Withey from Luton.

“Back in the USSR”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2007

people found this review helpful

If you want.....
1960's style "Butlins" food in the Russian style served in a works canteen.
To expect 5 star all-inclusive to include any resturant or any bar on site. Not that that matters as most are closed.
To drink beer and sprits out of plastic vending machine cups.
Drinks other than Vodka, whisky, brandy, or gin with only sprite or cola as mixers.
At any time be able to get a cup of tea between meal times.
To sleep with the KGB knocking and kicking on everybodies door on their way back from the bar.
Dirty toilets or baths.
An open Boating lake, bowling alley, shops, casino,icecream parlour.
Working fountains, lazy river, undead plants and grass.
and more... (less)

Go to The Sun Hotel......... which is known by the holiday reps as The Shining.

My advice is .....Go Some where else...... but not The Star or The Moon hotels as they are the same place..!

Stayed November 2007
