Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a unique experience with its picturesque sea view rooms but struggles with primitive facilities and insect issues. The peaceful surroundings and excellent breakfast stand out, although it can get crowded with outside visitors. The pick-up service is convenient but may require careful negotiation for other transport arrangements.
My stay at this hotel was truly a memorable experience. The rooms are basic but comfortable, impeccably clean, and offer a peaceful view of the Red Sea, striking a perfect balance between tranquility and proximity to the city center. The service was exceptional, meeting all my needs with efficiency and warmth. The location is a dream for nature lovers, with stunning views and easy access to the beach. The dining options were excellent, especially the delicious continental and Egyptian cuisine. The facilities were top-notch, adding to the overall enjoyment of my stay.
Staying at this hotel was a true mixed bag. On one hand, the rooms were nice and clean, facing the sea, providing a peaceful ambiance while still being close to the center. The cleanliness was on point. However, the absence of a fridge was a bit of a letdown, although they do offer breakfast as a compensation.
The hotel offers a nice facility with clean and basic rooms, suitable more for singles due to size constraints. While there were some issues with insects, the provided breakfast was a nice touch. The service was helpful, and the location, though slightly away from the center, provided a peaceful ambiance with beautiful views.
I couldn't ask for a better location with stunning sea views and a quiet atmosphere, though a bit far from the center. The rooms were impeccably clean and offered a basic yet comfortable stay, making it a great value for money. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was excellent with local cuisine options. However, the dining could be improved in terms of variety and taste.
