отель на 3* 3* hotel

Before the trip, we read positive reviews, and the travel agency convinced us that the German network is the best offer for Egypt. In Egypt 6 times, many visits to other countries.
We arrived at the hotel at 12.00, no one offered drinks, although tourists from other countries were met by a waiter with a tray of drinks. Check-in began after 15.00, we were settled at about 16.00 in the room, where there is a common cardboard door with the next room, the audibility is appropriate - any movements are heard. The room is creepy to say nothing - small, the window is behind bars, one chair, two people will not fit in the toilet room. Everything is wretched, old, dirty, the table and the floor are sticky, in the shower fungus. We have never seen such a number anywhere, although 15 years ago it was very similar in Zatoka. No one cleaned the room for 8 days, only the bed was made, no one ever changed towels and bedding, although it was left three times for 1 dollar. What swans and figures are there, they brought shampoos and gels once.
The hotel itself is very dark, there is no sun on the territory after 15.00 - everything is in the shade. Those who are used to the fact that the territory is all greenery and flowers will be very disappointed - there is no greenery, just small islands of trampled grass. The buildings stand along the perimeter of the territory itself and even inside, there is nowhere to walk, only in the neighboring Al Daw hotel, the road between the hotels is all under repair: dirt, noise is appropriate. The sun loungers near the pools, on the beach, are very close to each other, the passage between them is only sideways, but what is there, they stand right at the security booth at the exit from the hotel, one might say on the road being repaired. The mattresses themselves are on sun loungers, not only are they old and very thin, you won’t be able to rest on it, it’s very hard. Entrance to the beach through a nearby hotel, displayed separately - the view is very sad, a few dried sticks at the gate, waiting for it to bloom and turn green, instead of greenery and flowers.

The food was good, everything was delicious and clean. Meat - chicken, goulash and meatballs, there was once a duck, but for the declared 5 *, this meat set is clearly not enough. From seafood - one kind of jelly-like fish every day, with different aspic sauces, but no matter what it is seasoned with, terrible. Very tasty desserts are not only biscuit cakes and cakes, but also a lot of different tasty things. In the morning, the pastries are not very good, only solid puffs, all the same. From fruits: bananas, apples, dates, oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, there was strawberries once. But on the beach they give only one type of fruit and they are taken apart very quickly, there are no buns or sweets, you had to drink tea or coffee without anything, maybe that's a plus. Were in two a la carte restaurants, the conclusion is that there is nothing to do, in a common canteen it is better.
Evening animation is a big primitive, at the 3rd grade level, and all hotel guests are going to watch. Saved us - excursions. After talking with tourists from other hotels, we got the impression that even our food, which we kind of liked, was very poor. We took excursions from the local travel agency Roof Root. How to get out of the gate through which you go to the beach, turn right, the kiosk is located opposite the Continental Hotel, the name is Jamal. He speaks good Russian, is cheerful, jokes a lot, excursions are many times cheaper than hotel ones, he will help with a taxi at a price - like for locals. Feel free to contact.
It takes 10 minutes to go to the beach, you can’t wait for the car, only 1 piece, and there are a lot of people who want it, don’t expect that they will always give you a ride. In March there was no heat, you can walk, but when the high season, the sun bakes mercilessly along the path, there is no shade, questions arise. Ran once in 8 days. I don’t get tired of repeating myself, well, it’s not worth the money. There are many other hotels with the first line, we were seduced by the name and even the second line didn’t scare us, but this is a big fat minus, it’s really long to go to the sea, you can’t stay.
We were expecting a good 5, which would be WOW as the German chain actually turned out to be a rundown 3. The price does not match this hotel. For a week for two $ 400, you can go, but no more. We paid about $800, there were many offers for this price, but we fell for the name. Choose something else or consider the hotel as 3 *.
We got the impression that we were deceived, we live in a 3 * hotel, but you can use the territory of 5 * Al Daw, like beanbags.
We were picked up from the hotel 4 hours before departure, taken to the shops, this had not been seen before.
One plus, on the last day of our stay, they handed over the room at 12.00, the bracelets were not cut off, they were allowed to dine, but all hotels do this. So is it a PLUS?
