El Tabia El Tabia

For 500 USD per week you get:
1. The room is frankly dirty, one lamp is lit in the toilet room, a dusty ceiling with a broken bulb hangs sideways from the ceiling on some wire. How it holds up is not clear. Soap on the sink. What they call a shower cannot be hung on the wall, although there is not much sense in it at all, because. warm water flowed two or three times in a week, and the day was neither warm nor cold. The socket works alone, a very suspicious crack is heard from the second. The carpet on the floor was used by the Mamluks. For a week, the room was not cleaned, or rather, once someone stretched the bedspread on the bed, the eerie-colored towels were never changed - probably, the cleaners are also scared. There is a layer of dust in the closet. There is no phone. Cellular communication is on the verge of reception, and even then not everywhere. The air conditioner works, but it’s very loud and only in one temperature mode, and as soon as you leave the room, some local devil turns it off. Failed to catch. In whose sick head the idea came to put a buzzing refrigerator instead of a bedside table at the head of the bed - it’s not clear at all. Well, you need to wash it at least sometimes.
2. Food is dangerous. I had dinner once, after ten minutes I realized that I had eaten some kind of rubbish, there were no pills, but only thanks to 400 grams of whiskey. Didn't experiment anymore. I also went to breakfast once, usually left earlier; Spartan breakfast - a cup of tea, a bun, an egg, a couple of slices of cucumber and tomato. Well, do not explain to them that I do not like eggs. And the mango and juice from Metro turned out to be a great substitute.

3. The water in the hotel pool is completely cloudy and covered with a kind of oily film, I don’t even advise you to approach - the birth of a new life is a delicate process. Rats run, most likely, from the neighboring yard where the sheep live. The beach on the sea is of medium pollution, but it is better not to wear a mask so as not to be upset by the view of the seabed. The absence of a beach shower was simply surprising.
4. Before the departure, the guide did not leave any information about the departure time, transfer, etc. He did not call at all. Looks like it was slammed by previous guests.
The hotel is not for relaxation, only to spend the night, which I actually needed, so there was nothing to complain about. I do not recommend for any couples, children, it is dangerous. The obvious advantages of the hotel include access to both sides and passages to neighboring establishments - very convenient for avoiding surveillance.
The food is quite decent in almost any nearby restaurant, towels cost 25-40 pounds, juices, fruits - in the nearby Metro, SIM cards from Vodafon or whatever it is called, information about the departure - from the airport website in any Internet Cafe. Yes, and if you dare to stay at El Tabia, be sure to bring a flashlight with you, otherwise you can turn your neck when you get to your room at night.
