Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple reviews explicitly report poor cleanliness: stained sheets not changed, unclean bathrooms, lack of toiletries and delayed cleaning requests — clearly negative.
Service
1
Mixed reports: several mentions of friendly, professional and responsive staff and hosts, but serious failures in handling a theft report and instances of poor timing/communication for payments and check-out.
Location
1
Generally described positively: some guests called the location excellent and convenient; others noted it is a bit far from the city centre/airport but transport is cheap — overall favorable for many travellers.
Room Quality
1
Mixed: some guests praised new, well-equipped and comfortable rooms (AC, washer, iron), while others reported rooms that were not properly cleaned or maintained.
Amenities
1
Strongly positive mentions of in-room amenities (AC, washing machine, iron), WiFi, personal safe, and a 24/7 free cappuccino machine; amenities are a notable strength (despite the security incident).
Value for Money
1
Several complaints about poor value: overpriced spa and hair services, and an instance of being overcharged for an activity (later refunded) — negative impact on perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
Limited mentions but positive: free 24/7 cappuccino machine highlighted; otherwise little commentary on F&B.
Overall Experience
1
Mixed overall: many guests report excellent stays and helpful staff, but a severe incident of money stolen from a room and several service/cleanliness problems left other guests very dissatisfied — balanced to a slight positive overall.

You’re not booking the hotel, you’re booking a privately owned apartment.
Pros:

Studio was by the beach.
The aircon was excellent.

Cons:

The apartment is privately owned and is not part of the hotel, despite the listing giving the impression that you are booking a hotel accommodation. That distinction matters because the experience is completely different.

We were told to check in at the hotel concierge, so that's exactly what we did. It turned out we were actually supposed to be meeting someone, meaning we stood around with our luggage for around 30 minutes. The concierge gave us an all-inclusive wristband because we'd simply followed the instructions we'd been given. When the owner eventually arrived, they made an enormous issue out of this in front of the entire lobby, as though we'd deliberately done something wrong. It was embarrassing and completely unnecessary.

The apartment itself was also disappointing. It smelled, there were hairs all over the bedsheets, cupboards and floors, the toilet was leaking, there was no shower door and there was an opened drink left in the freezer. Cleaning standards were clearly poor.

For seven nights, we were given two towels and one toilet roll. We asked for these to be replenished and were told it would be sorted. We chased this five times and it still never happened.

The host also repeatedly messaged us trying to get us to book excursions through them. When we decided to book elsewhere, we were actually told, “Sir, we are really disappointed.” That's an astonishing way to speak to a paying guest. We booked our holiday to enjoy ourselves, not to be pressured into purchasing excursions through the host.

Then there is the security situation.

You have to wear a black wristband, which costs £2 each, and because the apartment isn't actually part of the hotel, you are repeatedly stopped and questioned by hotel security when entering and leaving through the main hotel. This happened so often that it genuinely made us feel like we were doing something wrong simply by trying to get to the apartment we had paid to stay in.

The location was great but didn’t appreciate the lack of WiFi when I needed it for work
Pros:

I enjoyed the location, the pool, and the property was phenomenal

Cons:

I didn’t like that the WiFi went out for a whole day and a half even after I asked for it to be turned on. I had to wait over a day and it interfered with my work

Dissapointed: money stolen from hotel room.
Pros:

Great place to unwind! Spacious, comfy, and super neat. It's a bit of a trek to the city centre, but transport's cheap so no biggie. Room's kitted out with AC, washing machine, iron - everything worked a treat. Plus, they gave us a personal safe and WiFi. Lovely environment, perfect for families and kids 😊

Cons:

Warning: Money Stolen from Room 😔

I'm torn about my stay at this hotel. The staff were lovely, location was about 40mins drive to the airport (but transport fare is cheap), and the hotel was neat and quiet. However, my experience was ruined when my money went missing from my room.

On the 4th day, I requested room service and left the room unattended. When I returned, the cleaner handed me 50 Egyptian pounds she'd found on the bed, but I didn't check the wardrobe where I'd stored my money. It wasn't until checkout the next day that I realised my envelope of US dollars was missing. There were two people in the room a man and the woman who handed the 50 pounds. The dollar notes was placed neatly in a green envelop of ramsden jewelry in the wardrobe.

Despite reporting it, no one seems to have seen anything. I'm really disappointed as I'm sure my money didn't just vanish. Unfortunately, this experience has left a sour taste, hence my low score.

Désastreux !
Pros:

La machine à cappuccino en libre service gratuitement 24/24 !

Cons:

L’appartement n’était pas propre. Le lit était fait mais les draps pas changé, tâchés avec des chèvres et des poils. La salle pas nettoyé, pas de papier toilette, un savon usagé sur le lavabo. J’ai dû demander le nettoyage le lendemain. J’ai réservé une activité, je devais payer en rentrant. À 18h45 je préviens que je suis rentrée, on toque à ma porte à 23h alors que je dormais pour me demander le règlement qui aurait pu attendre la veille. L’activité était à 20€, on m’a réclamé 30€. Le lendemain matin on m’a remboursé après avoir dû envoyer les photos du sites et d’activité similaires. Je demande le check-out à 11h15, on me dit être là dans moins de 30 minutes, au final j’ai attendu jusqu’à 12h20 en recevant un simple audio pour me dire de laisser la clé à la sécurité. C’est ma première mauvaise expérience de logement en Égypte. Avec un manque de considération certain. Le salon de coiffure, une pure escroquerie, 35€ pour deux tresses collées que j’ai défait la veille et que vous pouvez faire mieux en ville pour 10€. Le spa hors de prix, plus cher qu’en France pour une qualité vraiment inférieure.
