I categorically DO NOT RECOMMEND! The description of the hotel DOES NOT CORRECT with reality. There is NO free internet - at the reception for $ 5, and in the rooms the internet is only by buying an Egyptian SIM card. The towel in the room is one for two, other guests told us about the issuance of beach towels, and not the hotel workers and not the guide. … More ▾ I categorically DO NOT RECOMMEND!

The towel in the room is one for two, other guests told us about the issuance of beach towels, and not the hotel workers and not the guide. Tin bathroom. Safe is PAID. The pool is not heated. The territory is tiny. Music on the bar until late, impossible to sleep. The food is terrible, monotonous, rice for lunch every day, only biscuits for sweets and only in the evening, even less fruit, instead of juice, an instant drink from a bag, the main dish is shredded cabbage WITHOUT ANYTHING! Drinks at the bar at All inclusive are disgusting, and then you have to beg, the alcohol is diluted, the glasses and mugs are the same for the bar and the canteen, the bartender works both there and there, so you won’t wait for drinks at the bar during dinner, and they don’t give them in the canteen. There are a lot of locals in the hotel, they swarm like locusts for food, you can’t get to the buffet. The beach is tiny, but clean, sand without corals and fish, at 4 o'clock the sun is no longer there, from lunch the wind starts to blow from the sea, it becomes cold. For $ 15, the beach can be changed, but I don’t know how much better it is.

Just arrived from this hotel. We went to it because we took excursions Jerusalem-Jordan, the mountain of Moses and so on, we thought little time for a hotel. Food is impossible, breakfast a couple of vegetables, eggs and potatoes, no sweets. And at 7 in the morning, you will come later, there is nothing. … More ▾ Just arrived from this hotel. We went to it because we took excursions Jerusalem-Jordan, the mountain of Moses and so on, we thought little time for a hotel. Food is impossible, breakfast a couple of vegetables, eggs and potatoes, no sweets. And at 7 in the morning, you will come later, there is nothing. Dinner was more or less tolerable for 2 days and everything—the chicken was even inedible as a rock. The first 3 days we fought with the staff to be picked up from the beach. They took a taxi, came for their own money and, by joint efforts (6 people), quarreled with the staff. On the third day, these actions gave a result - they were taken and brought to the hotel as expected. The first week the bar did not work, we happily bought ourselves beer, water, juices in neighboring stores, and fruits in the market and sat on the terrace and celebrated our vacation. On the second week, a bar suddenly began to open for dinner and we were warned to bring nothing in, a fine of 150 pounds (25-30 dollars). In the bar, everything is much more expensive, we carried it, but we had to sit in the room. For 15 days they cleaned 2 times purely symbolically (smear the dirt on the floor), the bed was not changed, and the towels were changed 1 time under my strict guidance. There were a lot of mosquitoes and the fumigator did not help. Nobody had remotes for the TVs. All had air conditioners, but the remote control was only in our room. In general, this is not the first time we have a rest and we are always in threes, but we have not seen anything like this. We came to the conclusion that it is better to pay more, but not to spoil your vacation with trifles.

The hotel almost falls short of the declared category, I would say, three with a minus. The staff in general is calm, you can’t really call it friendly, but there were no problems either. One and a half people out of ten speak Russian, English is a little better, which, coupled with my broken, miserable English, usually made it possible to overcome the language barrier. … More ▾ The hotel almost falls short of the declared category, I would say, three with a minus.
The staff in general is calm, you can’t really call it friendly, but there were no problems either. One and a half people out of ten speak Russian, English is a little better, which, coupled with my broken, miserable English, usually made it possible to overcome the language barrier. Couldn't really get the drain in the toilet tank fixed, but I don't think the language barrier has anything to do with it. Plumbing, it seems, is generally a weak link, if not in the entire Arab world, then certainly in Egypt. There are no special complaints about the furniture, if you don’t find fault, they cleaned it with a solid C mark, regardless of the tip, but if you wash the sink and other things at the very beginning, it will be clean all the time.
The food is weird. Breakfast of terrible sausages, boiled eggs and buns with jam. Fruit appeared rarely and little. You can eat sausages only with burnt vodka or from hunger, eggs get bored in a week, there are rolls with jam. The so-called tea also does not stand up to criticism, we took a kettle and a thermos with us, and brewed our own all the time, and this saved us. Dinner is quite good, in some places even good, but only a little late, at 19.30, a couple of hours earlier such a menu would be great.
Everywhere in Sharm there are flies during the day and mosquitoes in the evening and at night, and neither of them cares how many stars your hotel has. Of course, you don’t need to take Velcro from flies with you, but there’s nothing to do there without a fumigator.
The beach ("Terrazina", in the bay of Sharm El Maya) is far away, a free bus runs once a day, at 10.00 there and back at 17.00. On foot, 25-30 minutes, by taxi for 2 bucks - 10 minutes. Behind the "terrazina" in 15 minutes on foot - a wild beach with beautiful corals and fish. Boats with divers come there, who are promised a dive in the Ras Mohammed reserve. A more beautiful beach (city "Reef Beach") can be found if you move from the hotel across the main street (almost strictly to the east) the same 25 minutes on foot or 2 bucks in a taxi, there is an entrance fee to the beach - 25 e. pounds or 5 bucks, For every day it makes no sense - a little expensive. Shopping - in the old town, there is also a "metro" store - like our "five" - ​ ​ I recommend it.
The guide from the Tez-tour did not interfere with rest at all, it was impossible to find him even when necessary, well, God be his judge. It is better to buy excursions on the street - on the way to Reef Beach we found the Grand Tour agency, and in the old town - Zekri Tour, their prices are close to the minimum, from Tez-tour or from Pegasus - about twice or even more more expensive (for comparison, a trip to Jerusalem costs: Tez tour - $ 180, Grand tour - $ 75), while the quality of the excursions is absolutely the same, and we must keep in mind that at best you will get somewhere half of what was promised, no matter where the ticket didn't buy.
Summary: a cheap hotel for independent, cheerful and unpretentious tourists

I took a lot of excursions. During my stay, the hotel was partially full, or rather there were 9 people vacationing. The rest of the staff, or renting rooms for the office. It seemed to me at 3 minus.

First the CONS. The hotel is old, the furniture and the pool too. The water in the pool is cold, it's true (but because it's running). Plumbing in the rooms is barely alive - be careful. Meals ONLY breakfast and dinner. The bus goes to the beach once a day. Leaves at 10:30, returns at 16:00. Bed linen and towels are changed ONLY ON REQUEST. … More ▾ First the CONS.

Meals ONLY breakfast and dinner. The bus goes to the beach once a day. Leaves at 10:30, returns at 16:00. Bed linen and towels are changed ONLY ON REQUEST. Now the BENEFITS. Despite a stern warning about a fine "for bringing food into the hotel, " everyone brings food in dark bags or their bags. The main thing is that the owner does not see you. It's better to stock up at METRO. The beach "Terrazina" is not bad, the sand and sunbeds are clean. In addition, you can always go to the "wild" beach. The food is monotonous, but satisfying. If the chef comes, the food is great. If only there were "polyatki", you can eat, but. . . AND THE FOOD DID NOT CHANGE FOR ALL 10 DAYS! For those who are especially interested: breakfast consists of 3 types of buns, pancakes (actually pancakes), croissants, fried sausages with onions and peppers, scrambled eggs or boiled eggs, potatoes, cheese in triangles and trays, jam, tomato and cucumber salads , something similar to cottage cheese, coffee or tea, fruit salad (bananas, oranges, strawberries, pomegranates). Keep in mind - a beautiful pink liquid is not a compote, it is a tasteless, very diluted hibiscus tea. Dinner: vegetable salads, stewed and fried vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, beans, potatoes, carrots), stew, chicken and potatoes, rice, pasta or spaghetti, unleavened buns (instead of bread), fish (every other day), pizza ( thick pie with a strange filling), dessert - a cupcake or cake. NO DRINKS IN THE EVENING! We went to a bar. A cup of Nescafe costs $2. The STAFF is smiling. We left 3 pounds tips for the room cleaner, and he sculpted swans and hearts from towels for us. There is one subtlety: tips are given to those who are lower in social status. That is, the cleaner of the room, the taxi driver, the boy packing food in the supermarket and the beach worker will gladly take the tip. A cashier in a supermarket (in a shirt and tie), a receptionist and a guide may be offended (as they most likely have a higher education and know a couple of languages). Think before you buy EXCURSIONS. Most likely you will like 1 or 2, and the rest will be a waste of money. I went for the sun and the sea, went to the Ras Mohammed reserve. Beauty is extraordinary. Fish, corals. It is necessary to go by bus, because on the yacht all the beauty is shown from afar. The pyramids and the rest of the ruins did not appeal to me, and to drag myself on the bus for 2 days too. And one more thing - those who lived at the Royal Paradise Resort hotel said they have a coral beach and the same fish can be seen by going into the knee-deep water and crumbling bread. For those who will eat IN THE BAR - be careful, during the broadcast of football matches, the British and Germans are terribly aggressive. Pizza at the bar is £.30. But it is huge, you can overeat. In general, I liked it (only it looked like a pioneer camp)!

Rested with friends in this hotel on a last minute tour. There were few people in the hotel. Why does it say 4 stars? in January 2010 there were 3. As other tourists wrote above, there was actually little food, who were late for breakfast and dinner remained hungry (((I have been to this hotel in three rubles, fed everywhere for slaughter. … More ▾ Rested with friends in this hotel on a last minute tour.

Lie that the hotel is on the first lines. It takes 5-10 minutes by bus or taxi, 20 minutes on foot. At about 10.00 you are taken to the sea, in the evening they bring you. We went to a wild beach (near the river port), there are beautiful corals and the sea is cleaner than on the beaches of the hotel. If if they offered to go to this hotel again, I would refuse. But in general we were satisfied, we ate in cafes during the day. Who is going to see beautiful corals, go to Sharm, where the sea is a little warmer than in Hurghada.

Well, it's certainly not a hotel, but a hotel. And if you make demands like a hotel, then everything is in order. No service. Food at the level of our normal recreation centers. Those who have already been in decent Egyptian hotels will be shocked. The room was not cleaned, linen was not changed. Yes, we didn’t really need it, out of 8 nights at the hotel there were 3. … More ▾ Well, it's certainly not a hotel, but a hotel. And if you make demands like a hotel, then everything is in order.

Yes, we didn’t really need it, out of 8 nights at the hotel there were 3. And then everyone went on excursions with my daughter - Cairo, Israel, Jordan. For our trip, the hotel approached, we were satisfied. The room was excellent - for three 3 rooms, a living room with a kitchen counter and 2 bedrooms. Plumbing is ok. Clean, but no traces of general cleaning. So for 3-4 people, the accommodation option is not bad. We dined in a cafe in the old town, bought fruits there and in the Metro store (everything is nearby). The Metro has fixed prices and everywhere class price tags. They took fresh juice in cans there, seafood was cooked and packaged with us. Beach hotel without corals and changing rooms. We went / went to a wild beach, there is a cool reef.
Have a good holiday everyone!

Firstly, I absolutely did not know what I would have to face in this monstrous hotel. in TA they promised that a good hotel, etc. and since it was necessary to fly away urgently, she agreed to what was offered.

Firstly, this chicken coop does not even pull 2 ​ ​ stars. roadside bunkhouses are much nicer than this creepy inn. . .
for 11 nights of my stay - they never changed either the towel or bed linen. and the bedspreads on the bed and on the couch were so dirty. . . that it was simply dangerous to sit on them. not only ruin your clothes, but you never know what to catch an infection. I never sat on the sofa.
there was no water in the hotel, i. e. if you want to drink just water, go to the store.
food is a disaster! : )))))))
if you didn’t jump in for breakfast at 7-30, and for example at 8-30, then there is absolutely nothing to do there. the maximum you can count on is 1 boiled egg and a roll. and if you rush in at 7-30, then the choice is still not rich: a bun, a pancake, an egg, boiled potatoes, fried sausages with onions (all 11 days)
same for dinner. . .
the hotel staff absolutely does not respect the chain of command and does not realize that they are just service personnel and are constantly tormented by customers.
and the safe!!!! ! : ))))) it's generally - Otpad!
retractable wooden box on the key at the reception. right behind the counter. those. anyone can come in harder to pull the box and take out your property.
in short - never go to this creepy hotel.
Ha! and then they ask you to rate the entertainment. . . there is no entertainment in the hotel, except for a huge cat. ))))))

I'll start with the fact that the travel agency Pegasus is a tourist, these are arrogant, impudent grabbers. Our guide Jan brazenly told us to buy tour tickets at inflated prices. $79 trip to Cairo + Nile. the real price is not more than $60. did not explain anything. With the replacement of the number did not help. … More ▾ I'll start with the fact that the travel agency Pegasus is a tourist, these are arrogant, impudent grabbers.

With the replacement of the number did not help. I got the impression that he was on everything and on all of us. Yes, we saw him 3 times. Thank God for excursions with guides lucky. Buses, though Mercedes, are quite uncomfortable. drinks everywhere for a fee. as if they couldn't pay. further hotel. Rock 3* as well as many with three and four stars. according to the reviews. not particularly prominent. repairs have not been done for probably three years. Yes, we did not expect better. we weren't going to get stuck in it. conclusion! the owner of the hotel is mean. the staff is excellent. watchmen at the reception, in my opinion both are called Ahmed, great guys. driver, cook, cleaners, all well done. fed of course monotonous, but that has its pluses. everyone's stomachs are different and the doctor is $30 per call. the beach is great. walked on others, it is better to eat but a little and not much. taken to the beach by car. there were few people. in the first three days we were shocked by the prices in the shops closest to the hotel. then, while walking, we found the METRO store. and the OLD MARKET bazaar. everything became economical. in general, with their efforts, they embellished their stay in this wonderful, hot, funny country as best they could. I warn you, it will not be easy for capricious people there.
