I think it depends on many factors, including human greed. Dad and a friend rested in this hotel from April 15 for 14 nights, paid extra 30 ye and gave a two-room suite next to the sea (I don’t know if there was a sea view, they were more interested in the location).

And what about when buying a tour, the sea view rooms are over? Then perhaps in any way, since there are no free rooms.

moy_contakt, It depends on one factor - redneck. Our compatriots want to buy the cheapest room to relax in an expensive one, poking a maximum of ten bucks at the reception, but it's better to get by with a cheap chocolate bar. Damn, when will love disappear from the brain in a freebie ...

To get started, look at what they offer - maybe you will like it. But do not check in, but just go and look, and then talk at the reception and ask for what you want .. they often change rooms and so.

It’s better to formulate “if you pay extra then to whom”, try to go from below (I asked about the room from the person who cleaned the rooms) the room was just freed more comfortable than mine, but the receptionist refused ...
And I think money has nothing to do with it, there are cockroaches.
If you can’t change it humanly, let them make yours more comfortable.

$30 in parts from 20 at once to the manager (distributor). Will drive gradually to different numbers. We must insist - only the second floor overlooking the sea. True, you should not take rooms with a full sea view - it's hot

I also never pay extra for a room, but I see what they give. Honestly, they never paid extra anywhere else, either they were lucky, or ..... And this year they immediately gave a normal family room with access to the pool where the children swam quietly while we were relaxing in the room. Last year, the same ... And dad and a friend (a friend is in this hotel for the 6th time and he needed a room with a certain location) that's what they paid for, because the territory is large.

We were in this hotel in April 2019. We did not give anything and we were put in a room near the upper pool on the 2nd floor. I’ll tell you right away that the furniture in the hotel is “killed”, windows, doors are wooden cracks as thick as a finger, The boy who escorted us to the room asked for a tip, said that he would share it with the loader, then the loader came and said that they didn’t give him anything, and also asked for “tea ". Such an Arab divorce Before us, a couple with a child settled in, they wanted to have a sea view, they immediately called the price at the reception - plus $ 25 per day !!! Then they asked for a room closer to the sea and gave 10 dollars for "tea". They were given a room near the lower pool, on the 1st floor, the same dead furniture, but the windows and exit are already metal-plastic. The only thing that saves the hotel is the coastline of about 200m and the sea, there is no pontoon, but in the morning you can swim over the corals to a depth

My friend was from January 22 for 7 nights, with early arrival and late departure 1 adult + child 10 years old for 360 dollars, 10.440 hryvnia. you can say lucky. BUT they gave the room near the reception, killed in the trash - the furniture was gouged, the doors in the bedside tables were torn off, the legs of the chairs were broken, the front door either did not close or did not open, the mattresses under them turned into hammocks, the towels in the room were gray - green , so to speak, former whites. The price of changing the room to another one, probably the best one, was allegedly offered according to the price: $ 10 per person per night, that is, for two, $ 140 for 7 nights. Their budget did not assume this, and since they did not know how to behave for the first time, bargain they didn’t, they lived in what they offered.

Immediately decide on the spot by number. If you buy an economy option, then no one changes it without additional payment, if you have a number of a different category, but you don’t like it, get a free replacement. No scandal, no nerves - just take a good look around in the proposed room, find the flaws - they will definitely be, here is an argument for a replacement. Although it is probably not realistic to find a problem-free room in Faraan. They are trying to put the hotel in order, but at least to a normal state there is still work and work.

Well, fools. I'll tell a story. Arrived in the Renaissance. This is Charm 5*. The Egyptian at the reception says: there is a good room, but you need to pay extra. He sees two young, beautiful, it's us. I ask - how much? The answer is 10 dollars. I say ok, I'll bring it now.
I went, took 10 bucks and give it to him.
He takes and says, 10 dollars. Per night.
I think to myself, he fell and hit his head on something.
And I myself say, sorry friend, that's all I can.
He reluctantly handed over the keys.
We went into the room and were stunned.
Two rooms. 1st floor. In the first room there is an exit to the terrace, a bar counter, a mini kitchen, a TV set, a sofa, a refrigerator, a safe in the closet and a corridor from which there is an entrance to the bath.
2nd room 2 double bed, TV set and air conditioner.
Then they became friends with this friend.

As for fools, let's not initially compare the Renaissance and Faraan, pay at 5, if there is no talent to exchange a room without surcharges, it probably makes sense. Paying for a room in Faraan is another matter - firstly tourists with a limited budget go there, secondly if first, then I think that your experience came with subsequent trips. All tourists arriving for the first time behave a little stupidly. A family of father, mother, son 17 years old flew to the same hotel with us. They arrived for the first time, paid for three, and lived in a room with two single beds. They did not know what should be different. Experience, the son of difficult mistakes.

We never ask for anything, but just silently put $20 in the passport and everyone understands everything without words. During the last trip to Turkey, there was a small overlap. The girl (Russian-speaking) silently took the money, after which, without saying a word to us, she figured out something in Turkish for about 5 minutes. As a result, he says: I really want to put you in a room with a sea view, but there are no such rooms in the hotel now. Therefore, spend the night, please, in a room with a view of the mountains (the room turned out to be a two-room one)), and in the morning we will move you to a free one. Came from the beach - things are already in the new room.

moy_contakt in the first post wrote everything "it depends on many factors." But in 2 components, this is 1. hotel workload 2. Ability to negotiate. And yet 3. Management. If a good manager, then at the price of a surcharge, if the room was originally booked not "sea view"

It all depends on the people and their ability to negotiate. Never paid more than $20. Yes, they usually want $10 a night, but it's not bad to want - it's bad not to want!)

igz, wow, this is a hormonal surge. I'm an amateur, uh huh. And what does Hurghada have to do with it, this question is generally about Sharm. Of course, Klitschko is special, I am not even going to compete with her and do not pretend to be the guru of Egypt, I always write my opinion and justify it. If the truth hurts your eyes that redneck thrives in everything among our tourists, then this is your personal sexual drama.

Let's start with the fact that each country has its own recreational jokes and Egypt is famous for its freebies, that you can catch a tour cheaply, for free or grab a cool number 10. Yes, and the Egyptians themselves are cunning people, just look, they want to fuck us tourists everywhere. So I don’t understand why they suddenly started running into each other ...

moy_contakt, so it's not about asking for a better room from the category that you paid for, but about asking for a ten dollar number for a category, or even higher than that paid for in the ticket.
At the expense of arrivals, this is the level of culture and education of tourists.

Just Cinderella and right, just not everyone agrees with this. The fact that the bulk of tourists are trying to buy a cheap tour, and relax in style - there’s even nothing to cover. And anger has nothing to do with it, it’s just really, some tourists are trying to make quirks here, and in a travel agency they’ll take out their brains for every penny.
Again, if you want to change a room from your category to the same one, because yours has problems - this should be done for free, ask the guide for help. If you want a higher category number, you definitely need to pay.

It often happens that the hotel is divided behind the scenes into zones (this is not always known even in TA and when buying a standard room with a view of the garden, for example, you get a second line to this (for example, when part of the buildings is located across the road from the main part) or in a building in which has not had any renovation for 20 years (but the tourist only finds out about it when checking in) and so on.and when you try to move to a normal room according to the category you paid, you are told that no, this is not your option. in a room with a hole in the door, and a washbasin lying on the floor ... the rest were trifles compared to this.In Turkey, such numbers go like RON, in Egypt, I have not seen such designations.

I can’t understand, reading here, do you all think that it is necessary to give bribes for a number? I'm not giving! Firstly, I always say at the reception that I’m going to look at the number, if there are any shortcomings, I show it to the attendant (and he goes with you in Faraan) and you will change it, so let’s immediately give a good number. This passes. And if you immediately gave bucks, then forget about them, or they will change the awl for soap, or they will find a little better. Second. The view of the sea is not important to me, all the same, most of you are at the sea or on excursions. The photo can be taken either from the Farsha cafe, or from the Grill restaurant, or directly from the cliff, how to go down to the beach (see in the account in my photo albums) . Thirdly, there is also a financial crisis in Egypt, and when talking with the Egyptians, the servants had more tips from guests than salaries. Hence their, as you write, greed and arrogance (this is also about sun loungers on the beach for money). And the last thing, I think, respect yourself, try to achieve what you are obliged to give, I repeat, "are obliged to provide" without bribes.

Alex 45, I wrote about this several times, I’m not too lazy to spend 20-40 minutes upon arrival, look at the room, point out the shortcomings to the attendant and change without surcharges. People are usually exhausted by the flight and want to settle down faster, so they don’t want to resolve all issues immediately .
I don’t advise flying to hotels of the Faraan level at all, but everyone has a price barrier, and here everyone decides for himself. I was in a neighboring hotel for two years in a row, I went to the territory of Faraana along the beach line and examined the hotel + this year a friend flew there, she I did a lot of filming. Specifically, a tourist can be lured to this hotel only by a cheap price, respectively, they will charge a surcharge for a better room.

About fools. Maybe not quite correct. But.
The behavior of people does not depend on the number of trips. There are leaders and there are others.
I'll tell my story. Arrived in Hurghada, good 4 ****. Tour for 7 nights, standard room + from the hotel: 3 nights free of charge + "room improved, but subject to availability." Total 10 nights.
The hotel is half empty - March. On this tour, another 20 people flew with us.
Accordingly, we all wanted "improved". At the reception Michelle - in refusal, there are no available rooms.
Connected the hotel guide that brought us. He purred in their language, said to wait 30 minutes, and left. H/h 30 min. - res. 0.
And everyone did not wait, but settled in the dead rooms, which were being prepared for repairs.
Then I took my telephone directory. through Egypt and called "him", the Egyptian.
He said to hand over the phone. anyone at the reception. They chanted something and the two of us were given a super number.
Then they came to us to look at the room, with a hydromassage shower and a chic double bed.
