Almost everything that is described about this hotel by vacationers is true. We decided on this hotel only because of the cheapness of the tour, although the reviews were very alarming. We arrived at the hotel around 20.00. At the reception, they took niche documents and offered to have dinner first. Dinner was outside by the pool, immediately alerted that there were no people at the tables, except for a company of 3 tipsy Russians dancing by the pool. What they ate was practically not seen, because. lighting is bad. They put us in a room on the second floor (119). Everything is standard in the room: 2 beds, TV, refrigerator, air conditioning, balcony, bathroom (there was no hair dryer, since we had our own). The general impression of the room, as well as of the whole hotel, is dirt, old furniture, the bed is clean, but already wants to retire, gray washed towels (did not dare to use them, bought new ones in the Oldmarket), the faucet in the bathroom was tech throughout rest (despite the comments, no one came to repair it. Bedbugs, which were written about by other vacationers, were not seen. Fortunately, they took HB, because there were no breakfasts (I went 3 times, there was no more desire), there was more food for dinner acceptable and varied, but again they preferred to eat outside the hotel. The pool bar was not working (for those who buy AL) and in the restaurant I did not see alcohol being poured, only in the bar, which I have never visited. Only Russians rest in the hotel (a lot of pensioners) and a few local residents (occupancy is about 10-15%). The room was cleaned every day, but at random (the balcony was never swept by anyone). They drove to the beach only on one (not the sea, but something like bay), knowing what beaches there are in Sharm, I’ll say that this is not If you are interested in corals and fish, then Elfanar Beach is the best. Once they took a can of beer with them to the beach, they immediately ran up to us and said that it was impossible, because. they have a paid bar on the beach. . . A lot of pushy salesmen for tours, massages, tea, etc. , can come up to you every day several times.
The hotel staff....yes....The dress code is free style, they smoke where they like, in the evenings they play billiards in the bar, and among their entertainments is to sit in a crowd on the sunbeds by the pool and stare at the girls. We had no conflicts, but only because we ourselves decided not to talk to anyone. There were no thefts, but we closed bags with valuables with a lock. In general, if you regard the hotel as a place where you can spend the night, then this is possible, but no more. We brightened up the rest only by Sharm itself, friends living there and visiting various places and establishments outside the hotel. I tried to describe everything I saw in this hotel objectively, I hope the review will be useful. I can't recommend it to anyone, as they say "cheap cheese - only in a mousetrap".
