Although Egypt is a poor country, but for a couple of dollars no one will commit a crime of malfeasance, although sometimes it happens that you are provided with superior rooms without additional payments ....

Minimum 20$.
And a couple of dollars can be given as a tip to the one who will carry your suitcases ... Or even to someone from the staff. But not at the reception!

I don’t understand why it is still believed that in Egypt everything is possible for a penny. Say, would you leave 50 rubles. asking for a change of number? Probably less than a piece - no. Here is the same situation. Any decent Egyptian leaves at least 100 pounds for just some small service, and for changing a room in a decent hotel - more, believe me. And you just humiliate normal people with a couple of bucks. On the day for cleaning the room leave a tip of 5-10 pounds.

arcan70, you probably got acquainted with the prices in this hotel and you are familiar with the difference in the cost of these rooms from the operator, and it is not very small - $ 500-700, do you think that the price of the hotel is SO lower ??? and starved hotel staff will snap up your $2??? So you really better bring them a chocolate bar. small. a candy bar - they will wear it on their hands

Especially for LyolyaS. For some people, a couple of $ clearly = $ 2 This is not the first time I'm in Egypt and knowing how much they give at the reception and how much for the cleaner. Your experience of resting in the "Red Proletarian" in the Small Buns ... is not interesting to me.
I wanted to ask people who were vacationing in this hotel whether it is possible to exchange rooms upon arrival, maybe someone changed them for an extra charge.

arcan70, and what kind of reaction did you want to hear here to your question, if you yourself limited the amount of the question to "a pair of $"? Words about zhlobstvo here did not arise from scratch!
By the way, you are right - for literate people "a couple of dollars" = $2. And for the illiterate, there are options. )))
In almost all hotels, you can change the room to a more comfortable one with an additional payment on the spot, subject to AVAILABILITY. But we are not talking about "a couple of bucks", the difference is more significant. Compare with the tour operator the prices for trips to "standard" and "deluxe" - the same difference will be asked from you on the spot.

As I see it, everyone gathered here who rested in Diamond Beach))))) Or are they building all their arguments on other hotels ???
Firstly, there are only 21 deluxe rooms and they are the highest category in the hotel. It's not just a couple of bucks, it would be nice to get by with a couple of hundred. Judge for yourself, I tried to get not 1 but the second floor for 30 dollars. To which I was told that all 2 floors look at the sea. And this is a different category and you need to pay extra $ 70. But I didn’t understand on the day or at all.
I did not pay, but the most interesting thing is that in the end I got a "family" number, paying absolutely nothing extra. Maybe the truth is they counted on the 30-ku which I waved, but I wanted the 2nd floor. They didn't give it to me...

Phansoft, where does the sarcasm come from?
These arguments are valid for all hotels, for this you do not need to go to Diamond Beach.
And you yourself fully confirmed these arguments!
For $ 10-20 at the reception in almost all hotels you can ask for a room of the SAME PRICE CATEGORY, but something better (cleaner, better view from the window, closer to the sea, etc.). But no one will give you a suite for a penny, which is hundreds of dollars more expensive.

This is not sarcasm. Just for example, in the same Continental Garden Reef, for $ 20 they gave a room in cascading buildings, which were close to the restaurant and to the sea, and not in the "zazhope" where all the Slavs settled. And 20 was the standard rate.
And in Diamond Beach, neither 10 nor 20 nor 30 nor even 50 dollars solved even the simplest acceleration of the settlement. The workers there don't take bribes.
Therefore, if the person was NOT at the hotel they are asking about, I think it is NOT APPROPRIATE to give advice. For EVERY HOTEL in this matter is INDIVIDUAL. And then, after listening to the advice, people will take a box of chocolates with them in the hope of changing the standard to Deluxe, in which there are 2 rooms and a jacuzzi ....

There are questions in which the generalization is quite fair. For example, I have not been to China, but I know 100% that people there, just like us, walk on their feet, not on their heads.
No one says that for $20 or a box of chocolates you can get a room in a different price category. There is no such thing anywhere!!! READ CAREFULLY!!!
If this happens somewhere, then under the responsibility of the hotel employee, for which he can fly out of work, because. cause financial loss to the hotel.
And your story about "zazhopye" is just another story about how for $20 they provide the SAME rooms, just more advantageously located geographically.

If the author of the question had initially indicated at least $ 20, then those who were not in Diamond Beach might have kept silent.
But when it comes to $2, it is obvious to ANY tourist that this is absurd!
I agree with Pepper: "For $10-20 at the reception in almost all hotels you can ask for a room in the SAME PRICE CATEGORY, but something better (cleaner, better view from the window, closer to the sea, etc.). But no one for a penny will not provide you with a suite that is hundreds of dollars more expensive."
Phansoft, it's great that you shared information about Diamond Beach!
But I think that it is APPROPRIATE to give advice, because in ANY hotel for $ 2 to ask to change the standard to DELUXE is just an insult to the manager! Honestly, it’s better to be completely free or for a chocolate bar ... The effect will be the same (it most likely will not), but at least don’t offend a person!

In the Continental Garden Reef, for $20 they change the standard to the standard, i.e. in the same price category, only a better location, some tourists, for example, refuse rooms overlooking the pool (due to noise during the day: kids, animation, etc.), while others are willing to pay extra and 20 and 30 dollars just to get a pool view room....

Here I agree. Only there is one more amendment, so ... for information. At the Sunrise Diamond Beach Hotel, there is no separation in the standards for Sea View and, for example, Garden View or Pool View there. I looked with a specialist at all tour operators and on the website of Sunrise itself. But at the reception it was stated to me that this is a different category and there are different prices.
So, how can I, for example, buy Diamond Sea View? Only through a bribe?
Or stupidly rely on fate?
But in other hotels there is a classification for Garden / Pool / and Seaview. and these are all STANDARD rooms but at different prices.
Therefore, again, I would not compare with China and legs. Rather, there is a comparison here - they walk there in shoes or barefoot.

Karina, you are wrong. Just in the Continental, this is already a different category - "Sea View" And even among tour operators it is divided and at a price it is more expensive than $ 100-200. But it was possible to solve for 20-ku on the spot.

In the Continental Garden Reef for 20 dollars they change the standard to the standard, i.e. in the same price range
Your words?
So I say that when buying a tour, you would pay 100-200 dollars more for a room in the "cascade" with a sea view.
But in a SPECIFIC HOTEL, for a SPECIFIC AMOUNT, you could get a room of a DIFFERENT PRICE CATEGORY, and not "the same price category" as you write. That's exactly what I'm talking about!

There are such moments as overbooking, when more standard rooms are booked than are available, then they have to settle in a higher category without additional payments, but the reception saves these rooms for those who are ready to pay, and those who do not want to pay are accommodated in the standard ... You yourself understand that in order to move from the standard to another category, you need to make a payment through the system, and if it is not there, it means that the employee took the money and put it in his pocket, and this is an automatic dismissal, but sometimes the hotel does not have to make a ternavai (relocation to another hotel of this or another chain) management gives the go-ahead to check into an upgraded category without additional payments....

It looks like the amount of $ 50 settled down for changing the room to the highest (please note) room category.

Phansoft, if the tour operator does not have such a classification, but the hotel does, then there are two options:
- the deceitfulness of the tour operator, who does not follow the conditions of the hotel;
- amateur hotel managers who "invented" these divisions into categories.
And the third option is more likely - you misunderstood something. :) For example, we were in Turkey not so long ago. Many people (including us) had to pay $80 for a room with a sea view. And some then indignantly wrote in the reviews that they offered to pay a lot of money for the view from the window!
But in fact, the money was not asked for a sea view! It's just that only 2-room family suites overlook the "sea" side. :))) And we bought a one-room "standard". ))
By the way, $80 was cheaper than according to the terms of the tour operator... But on the other hand, we risked being left behind - we got the last of the suites vacated that day.

Karina maybe. Just when we settled into a room, we were then offered for 20 bucks with a sea view. The receptionists themselves. The amount for us was not large, we just did not want to drag things. We were satisfied with our room. )))

Understand, everything happens, I had cases that my tourists in Savoy were accommodated in villas without additional payments, there were 8 of them - one family, and they had “numbers nearby” in the voucher, but there were none and they were presented with a villa so that not to irritate customers and not fall "face in the dirt" ...

From my own experience, I’ll say that it is in the Continental that there are garden view (garden view), pool view (pool view), sea view (distant sea view, even over the roofs) and beach front (the very first line) . So, without any additional payments, having the entry "garden" in the voucher, we received a sea view room, moreover, located next to the restaurant and the elevators to the beach.
In Krowne, having a voucher for a standard, we got a beach front, also at no extra charge.
This I mean that with these, relatively equivalent numbers, you can not bathe until the settlement, and then try to "fix" the situation with the help of banknotes (but not a couple of dollars, but 10-30).
And in order to change the room to a really higher category, then there are generally different "rates" and a couple of dollars - this is not a serious conversation and, as far as I know, it rarely costs at all other prices than the clogged price difference in the price list.
