Disaster

This hotel was a complete disaster from start to finish. Not only were the rooms filthy, but they also scammed us by overcharging for laundry services. The pathways around the hotel were uneven and dangerous, and the stairs were incredibly slippery. We even witnessed a staff member slip and injure himself! This place is a safety hazard and a complete rip-off. Save your money and stay far away from this hotel.

État général très décevant : NOURRITURE : pas beaucoup de choix, pas très bon que ce soit déjeuner, dîner ou repas du soir, la viande sèche, manque de choix au niveau des desserts et des plats principaux. Nous avons mangé du riz et des pâtes tout le séjour. PLUS DE PLACE POUR MANGER, OBLIGÉ D’ATTENDRE DEBOUT. ARNAQUE WIFI : sur le site Hotels.com, nous avons réservé et il était écrit sur la réservation wi-fi gratuite. La wi-fi était payante.7€ pour 3Go. Et seulement dans le hall principal pas de wi-fi, ni dans la chambre ni à la plage ni au restaurant. Très décevant attention c’est une arnaque. La wi-fi n’est pas gratuite malgré les dires du site Hotels.com. PLAGE : État général de la plage, très décevant, les transats sont cassés, les toilettes sont sales. CHAMBRE : la chambre est correcte, le ménage, il fait, mais tout est en très mauvais état. La clim très très sale est cassée. Rideau de douche non changé… SERVICE DE CHAMBRE : le service est correct, il vous apporte tout ce que vous avez besoin pour la minute qui suit. TAXI DE L’HÔTEL : le Taxi de l’hôtel propose des prix exorbitants : 160 € Marsa Alam, Luxor. En bus ou taxi pris 13€ -100€ maximum. Ne vous faites pas avoir.

La posizione della struttura è ottima.. Soprattutto per quanto riguarda la spiaggia che essendo in una baia è molto riparata dal vento e ci si sta veramente bene e ci si può sempre bagnare perché il rife è a distanza... Il personale del servizio taxi che si trova all interno dell hotel è a dir poco spettacolare... Disponibile.. Cordiale.. Parla italiano e aiuta per ogni tipo di problema... L unica grande pecca dell hotel per noi italiani è il mangiare... Bisogna accontentarsi di riso e pane.... Un grande peccato perché altrimenti sarebbe tutto al top..
