You might think that a five star rating is too much but I am rating it for what it really is (a good 3 star hotel in a seasonal city) read the whole review if you wanna book a room here.
The summary that it's a good value for your money and suits the Dahab (always out) life.
First the management were professional with the reservation process before we arrived.we got exactly what was told to us.the room was newly cleaned smelled great old ac but it works just fine(in Dahab the AC is as important as clean water)tap water was salty but it's usual in the area the bathroom was clean with soap and shampoo and you could get fresh towels every single day if you like.very old tiny tv but who would use it anyway(it worked though).a mini bar fridge that worked perfectly.beautiful view day and night of the pool and AlAqaba bay(ask for a sea view when you reserve rooms are not the same) pool got cleaned everyday and available all the time unless it is being cleaned of course.there is Sauna room small gym, spa and a massage center (haven't tried them).there is a divers club in the hotel of three Australian divers with Egyptian ones(they rent gear and certify divers) breakfast was good for a 3 star hotel no lunch was available(people don't eat lunch at hotels here there are so many good restaurants with plates from all over the world).you get room service when you ask for it in the morning after breakfast.there a really cheap laundry service here and you get your things the next day. close to supermarkets and the bazars just a few minutes walking you can buy whatever food or drinks you want and keep them in your fridge.the staff and the manager were so decent and helpful. I am absolutely...

Update.. After visiting this hotel on and off for the last 20 years,we won't be going back because the hotel doesn't have quiet hours. Basically they allow guests to talk (shout) at each other around the pool from midnight till 3 or 4 in the morning. Other hotels have quiet hours from 11pm till 7 am. Here, everything is acceptable to the management. It's a shame because the hotel is lovely,but this kind of behaviour is unfair for the rest...
Read moreStayed here for 2 nights with my group tour. Great location at the end of the tourist strip.|Old buildings with rooms needing a well overdue refurbishment.|My room was spacious and clean. The fridge and TV worked fine but the lighting was sub standard. As it was winter I did not use the aircon.|The bed linens were clean and afforded a comfortable sleep.|The bathroom was small. Excellent consistent hot water with adequate pressure.|My balcony provided great sea views although both days it was blowing a gale along the coastline.|I don't know the room costs but what I gather from reading reviews it is a budget hotel.|Overall, it served my needs but as a group tour hotel I was...
