“cheap and not so cheerful.....”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2010

The first question is, why bother to have internet bookings when you apparently have no system to retrieve & process them at the hotel ? Luckily as I was on a crutch & I was allowed to retrieve and print my booking from the hotel pc !!!!

The sign outside the front of the hotel looks like it's been in an earthquake lol...

The food has to be eaten to be believed, the main courses were OK, meat and rice and some veg, starters and sweets were an excersize in modern day doing your best with food rationing....eg gravy browning 'soup'. And a sweet largely based on water and sugar, I knew I was eating local tap water with this one. The buffet eveing meal was LE10, about £1.10 for half an hour, which would be enough for any sane individual.

I had B&B and found the chefs dog food suprise at breakfast the most inedible thing on the menu, the rest was Ok with eggs and omelete. Although I suspected the ingredients for the omelete were left out overnight in the heat.

Yes just about everywhere is in various shades of dirty although my room seemed freshly painted, but I soon remedied that with the bodies of dead mozzies, who look to me to be breeding like crazy in the watered grounds around the hotel.

My shower was cold, which was just as well after looking at the beautiful scantily clad eastern european bodies draped around the pool area all day - no sensibilty about muslim customs here......the pool which as everyone says is the coldest known place in sharm, it's colder than the ice rink lol.

When I was there the place was full of eastern europeans on package holidays, an interesting social experiment. Once these guys start quaffing the all inclusive booze, one of two things is going to happen, depending on your sensibilities and drunkeness as an individual, you will either be their best friend for the evening or you will be injured........

The hotel is well away from uptown sharm both figuratively & geographically, the old town is the nearest place to go, and is a place much more on the edge than the sanitised tourist sharm and much cheaper too. The cheapest food shop is past the expensive mall on the left as you head toward the old city and take the first left, here 5L of water will cost you 5LE. The hotel bazarr is bizarr, and be prepared to wake the shopkeeper up if you want something that he wont have in stock.

The massage guys are a comedy duo, asking 40 euros for 45mins initially, but you can haggle with them considerably, and the massage is actually very good.

There is cats, food left around, and some renovations going on.

The staff respond well to polite english speaking people and are generally friendly as their other guests the Russians merely grunt at them...in pigeon grunting .....

would I stay there again ? Once is definately enough in this lifetime.

“Would not go again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2010

What can I say what hasn't been told in other reviews? Altough I think I'm not a demanding customer, I never expected this dump of hotel. Sure, when you pay budget price, you don't expect too much, but here they don't do basic service. Clean sheets? Forget it! Clean room? Not here. Clean towels? Guess...

They don't know words "clean" and "working" in this hotel.

Ok, pros first. Although employees don't speak english very well, they were quite kind. Lazy, yes, but kind. Also I kind of liked their food, very basic but more or less egyptian style. But I hope that you have a good stomach. Also tables are egyptian style - overcrowded and dirty like hell. Hotel beach is near very beautiful coral reef, maybe the best we've seen in Sharm. And, although you won't believe it if you'll read whole review, we actually had some fun there for first two days.

And now cons. Our room was a disaster. Loads of dust everywhere, mold on walls, sheets were half washed, but still dirty, towels were worse than dusters in my garage, bed was falling apart, chair was OK if you leaned properly (on three good legs), lock on doors stuck every now and then (usually when we wanted to go inside - excellent protection against robbers) and wardrobe was a complete joke. And bathroom, eh...I won't even mention cleanliness here, only one thing - their pipes have three settings only: boiled water, freezing water or no water at all. Also, toilet flushing was worse than a glass of water.

When we arrived, we immediately requested another room. When we saw another, we decided to stay in current one. After that we spent at least an hour waiting for roomboy to get us clean sheets and towels. He brought them, but they weren't any better. So we went outside and had fun in old Sharm.

Next day we decided that it's not so bad, told our roomboy how to clean everything and went to hotel beach. Although corals are really nice, the beach is a disaster. Overcrowded, lots of loud and rude locals, stupid and rude "beach manager" and loads of trash everywhere. No toilet anywhere near, no changing rooms, nothing.

After we came back to hotel, we checked the room and we immediately saw that roomboy did his best. He changed sheets with new, dirty ones, removed some dust and made a nice swan sculpture on bed - but the room still looked like disaster. Ok, so he apparently isn't a very talented cleaner. We asked him for a broom and spent two hours cleaning for ourselves. It was a little better then.

We spent next day at hotel pool. We found two good deckchairs (one in a ten is OK) and wnt to pool. Beware, the pool is a death trap. I almost broke my leg when I stepped on broken tile. Spent next two days limping around like some grandpa. Anyway, just don't walk on the edge and you should be fine.

We also had a nice debate with otherwise annoying massage man and spent whole afternoon at pool and bar watching egyptians and playing pool. I must say that egyptians are kind of nice and funny people, although they can be quite annoying.

In the middle of night we went to Cairo by bus, so we spent whole third day away from this hotel. Hotel staff prepared a "lunch" for the trip. This so called "lunch" was assembled from one cucumber and two apples. We almost cried when we saw lunches from other hotels. Eh... When we came back, we found our bed half-made. One half was just old plain oh-my-god-you-can't-believe-how-dirty-this-is mattress. Anyway, we were really tired after long trip to Cairo, so we just fell in our beds and slept.

Next morning we arrived at breakfast an hour after start and there was almost no food left anymore. We went to hotel beach one more time and called our travel assistant from there to get us some other place. Luckily she managed to find another 4-star place not far away for small price (cca. 50€), so we didn't think twice.

I could write a lot more about how crappy this hotel is, but I don't see any point. If you really don't need a lot of comfort, and you are young and adventurous individual who is used of backpacking doesn't mind sleeping in dirt and doesn't want to pay much, I guess this hotel could be somehow acceptable.

But if you have other chances, still, try them first. It really doesn't get much worse in Sharm than this...

“Absolutely the worst hotel ever visited!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2009

people found this review helpful

This hotel was disgraceful, this was our fourth time to Sharm but our first time (and last) in this hotel. The rooms were extremely dirty, when we arrived the bed linen hadn't been changed from the previous occupants,there were food inside the sheets and fresh blood on the pillows, i had complained about this and they said they would change them but all they did was turn it over! Completely dissatisfied with the room, they gave us another room which was equally as dirty with used, bloody tissues on the floor and stains on the bed linen. We changed rooms four times where by this time had enough and had to change hotels as we felt this hotel was just not clean or hygienic enough to sleep in. Certainly not suitable for children, broken tiles around the outside of the pool with huge gaps, is an accident awaiting to happen
