I stayed here despite reading many reviews before hand. I had B+B at a bargain rate for a weeks diving and was pleasantly suprised. It is a nice hotel, friendly staff, and spacious room. There was no balcony in my room and only a small window but that didn't bother me really as I only slept and showered there.
Breakfast has a wide choice, although aimed more at the Russian and Scandinavian visitors than British ie emphasis on rolls, pasteries and salad rather than cereal.
I was never stopped on the way into the hotel for a bag search but then I didn't try to bring any food or drink into the hotel. There is a cafe and a McDonalds nextdoor but Starbucks has gone.
Its a good walk into the town but can be done along the beach pathway which stops a lot of the tooting from buses and taxi drivers - you just have to avoid the newspaper sellers instead :-)
Internet is free in the lobby area. And when I managed to jam all my valubles in the safe someone was there in a few minutes to rescue them.
Overall a good choice for a cheap hotel for a diving holiday.

Expected some extra since we´re here for the second time. Had to pay extra for room with terrace, despite the fact that this was not an option when we bought the trip. Later on when we ask to change the room to afternoon sun, they told that this was not possible because the rooms where closed and not in use. The next day the room was occupied by new guests.
Our recommendations to the management is to establish a more customer friendly policy, and take specially good care of second time customers. It´s doubtful that we will stay here for the third time, despite the very nice pool boy, that did his very best. There are some 210 more hotels to choose from in Sharm El Sheik according to tripadviser.

Just returned from a weeks stay at the Oriental Rivoli. The hotel is just slightly out of the centre of Naama Bay, which is a gentle 10 - 15 minute stroll away. The hotel is well maintained and spotlessly clean. Our stay was based on a bed and breakfast basis. Breakfast was buffet style with a wide variety of cheeses, jams, bread, pastries, salad on offer. Omelettes and pancakes where freshly made to order.
The hotel has 3 lovely pools with a good number of sunbeds. Should you wish to visit the beach the hotel has an agreement with the Gafy Resort which is a 5 minute walk away; there you can use sunbeds, cafes and take a dip in the sea.
Adjacent to the hotel are a couple of reasonably priced coffee shops selling a sandwiches, salads, cakes and drinks, etc. There is also a bank with a cash point and well stocked supermarket.
The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble for them.
I would strongly recommend this hotel and will most definitely stay there in the future.

I really enjoyed staying at this hotel. They offered reasonable price, even though I was a single traveler in Sharm El Sheikh. I especially loved the foods they offer!The room is well-cleaned, the staff is so friendly,and the diving center beside this hotel was also great!there are many hotels around these area, and If you want to enjoy oriental atmosphere of Egypt, this is the place!!
