Old Vic Sharm Resort

Our first room smelt of drainage so asked to move, next room was fine. Room was very old and needed some TLC, the whole place needs some TLC. Bathroom wasn’t pleasant.

Food was okay! Breakfast we had fresh omelettes everyday. Lunch was always better than dinner. Meat was always very fatty and full of bones imo.

Drinks were a bit of a disappointment, no hot chocolate and sometimes flat.

Staff were very nice, karim is lovely always asked us how we were! Had a couples massage and it was great, he made our whole holiday so much better!
One of the waiters was lovely too and saved us a table everyday and done our drinks!

Overall we had a nice holiday 🥰

This place is very simple but simple done extremely well
Food and drink good not stunning but ok for me
Room I don’t really watch much tv as I’m away but you do need a degree in rocket science to work it out- air con rather average
Cleaning service also ok ish
Now to the super stars which means i am coming back and that’s some off the staff a few in particular
Mohammed on reception he could not do any more for you
Mohammed and the pool bar (just the best and also Mohammed in the lounge bar super sweet man , the omlette chef excellent and also Osama always good
Thank you old vic

When we arrived we quickly realised this hotel wasn't going to be that we are used to when we come to Egypt and requested the next day to be moved, on the beach were unreachable and the rep said he cant help until on the beach confirmed so we decided to stop stressing and make the best of it. The weather was glorious, the pool was nice and there is enough to do in the area to keep you busy in the day. The heated pool however is more like a water feature that the small children play in and it quite dirty. The food on the first night was terrible, breakfast is awful and I skipped it every day. The lunches and dinners dis improve as the week went on and were quite enjoyable altho EXTREMELY repetitive and a little bland, nothing to get excited about, I think I actually lost weight on this holiday. The timings for lunch and dinner are when it suits them, it'll say 12 on the schedule but u go along and they say come back at 1. You arw allowed ice cream at 4pm everyday for a half an hour window, in winter it starts to cool down at get dark around that time. There are no snacks through the day either just breakfast lunch and dinner. Pretty much everything in this hotel is broken, patio door didn't lock, air con didn't work, pool table is mouldy, tiles everywhere are broken. The hotel is full of Russians and it seems they like it that way, they dont seem to like the English, the man at reception is rude, man at the bar rude, I walked into the bar and everyone drinking pretty cocktails I asked if he could make me a pretty cocktail so I could take a picture he made me two drinks in regular glasses whilst at the same time making a pretty cocktail and took the pretty cocktail to someone else! We are leaving today and are currently being harassed about a towel that is missing from our room and they're asking for money for it, I said the kids would have left it around the pool and a cleaner must have picked it up but he is getting ruder and ruder and im actually worried he is going to call the police while we are trying to leave. The room wasn't cleaned, I has to ask at reception for it to be cleaned, they still didn't come, I asked again the next day and someone came but they made me pick up everything off the floor (few items of clothing and shoes) before they would clean it. The room was cleaned that one time all week, no clean towels, nothing. When we first arrived there were not enough beds in our room and I had to argue with the receptionist to het another bed brought in, the expected my 2 teenage children to share a single bed!! The double bed was quite comfortable but the single beds were awful yoy could feel all the springs in it and the fold out bed they brought in sunk in the middle. Every hotel ive been to in Egypt they want to help you, bring you drinks ect, here my son went the bar for a drink and got shouted at because we have too many of their cuts and he made my son collect the cups and bring them back. The evening entertainment is an hour and a half of sod all, I went a few times but it was so boring, no bar there you have to walk to reception where the 1 and only bar is, with 1 member of staff so sometimes you'll wait 30 minutes for a drink. The entertainment area is a spot of pavement and some grass with lawn chairs, the speakers have blown so everything they do sounds awful from start to finish. Ive been to better bbqs. I was in bed by 9 every night. We had a nice holiday in spite of this hotel not because of it

We weren’t expecting a lot from this trip just some winter sun but wow most of the people are amazing.
The airport experience and transfer was a bit of a faff, may do a private transfer next time.
Hotel not in main sharm area but we are happy with that, bus to beach if you want it and everything we need for a relaxing break.
Most days spent around hotel pool area our choice.
Restaurant has a great variety of food for our taste and the drinks are good too.
Told you can grab a taxi into main town for £2.
There is a fun team that does activities all through the day and evening, not just for children either.
The staff are second to none, so helpful and willing to go out of the way for whatever you need
Had few issues with our room but they were fixed.
It’s not as clean as I’d like but saying that you get what you pay for and the staff make up for that.
They work very hard.
They are very welcoming to people from the
UK .

Absolutely loved my stay at Old Vic Sharm Resort in January. The staff at reception, the restaurant, and the lobby bar were so kind and attentive – they really made me feel at home. The location is just perfect for exploring the area. Everything was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I had such a relaxing time and I truly enjoyed my time here. Highly recommended!
Best regards, Malika!

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times and can honestly say will not go anywhere else in Sharm. The staff are very friendly and the animation team are 1st class especially Mando. I would recommend this hotel to anyone

‏חייבו אותי פעמיים ואני רוצה את הכסף בחזרה !!

Absolutely fantastic hotel
Entertainment staff are the best especially mando he is the best so friendly always there to help nothing is too much trouble he goes the extra mile

This hotel would have been great about 10 years ago, unfortunately it is now showing its age which was not helped by its very gaudy Christmas and New Year light display at the front. Paint looks bad, facilities are terrible, room fixtures loose or off mountings. Room fridges either dont work or when turned on create warm air.
Beds were extremely comfortable.
Absolutely terrible catering, chip rolls became the cornerstone and 5kg lost over the week.
Drinks are not chilled except cans at their separate beach area. Coke/Fanta/Sprite are all served from 2 litre plastic bottles so often flat. Drink details show Stella and Heineken but Stella is a local beer and no sign of Heineken!
Very week wifi available in the reception area only.
Staff are always tricky to evaluate due to the heavy tips based culture but there were some stand outs around the pool and restaurant areas.

The atmosphere is amazing, stuff very
friendly and talkative. Reception is always ready to help. The animation team giving the best experience in hotel and making the stay very pleasant. Tito’s the best!!!

Anything

Staff and management outstanding - very well trained - thoroughly enjoyed my time at the hotel. Restaurant staff hardworking and attentive to details. Special callout to ElSayed - First class service the entire 2 weeks. Manager Mohammed and F/B guy Temer were both excellent. A very well run resort. No need to pay Swiss prices, stay here instead.

Crap hotel nothing works beds to hard pool is cold full of Russians who come in early morning and wake everyone up after night club its not disabled friendly like the rest of sharm broken or high pavements ext food was crap burnt from barbecue or turds and salad breakfast pancake omelette hard boiled egg bread rolls and salad cheese cold meat rubber cheese dinner salad tasteless pasta we ordered cheese burgers and they where amazing so chef can cook u have to see chef to order nice food but i loved the staff they gad to carry my mobility scooter upstairs and down and some like to ride on it big praise to simo the joker and the pool guys good agala with small bananas The staff are amazing pity the hotel is crap 1 star at best

Rooms are terrible and dirty. Everything is broken, lihgt bulbs are not replaced. Door enter cards won't work. Windows are broken and not sealed so a lot of noise from the street. Food plates and cups are broken and dirty. Barmen drinks himself at the bar and one time even vomited on the floor. Don't take taxi from hotel it charges 5x time more. Instead use app for taxi InDrive. Food is average but there is some days when you can see that they are using previuos day food. Alcohol is very bad.

We stayed for 14 nights
The hotel was clean , the grounds are kept lovely and staff were excellent. Really went out of there way to make you feel welcome.
Especially the private beach staff ,free shuttle bus to the beach and the bus driver that took us to the beach was great aswell
We found that the hotel wasn't really catered for English. There was no labels on the food to say what it was and hot food was put ontop of cooling food, we went down the road every day for dinner , We only had breakfast here . Toaster took several goes through to be slightly toasted .
Fridge in room wasnt cold ,reported to reception and was told its working its slim cold ? Air conditioning wasnt working for the first week ,was brilliant once fixed .
Cleaners were exceptionally good.. our room was done every day . Clean towels, bins empty etc .. no complaints there ,
I just think this hotel could be better with a few adjustments
But staff as I said were great.

Everything is fine, but the staff steals money while cleaning the rooms. Of course, it's my own fault for leaving my handbag on the table, but after traveling a long time, I've never encountered such dishonest behavior from staff.

It’s very good

The reception is excellent and the staff is very, very, very good value for money

Clean friendly staff great location
