Sharm El Sheikh hotels & places to stay

I had a lovely stay at the Falcom Naama Star Hotel, but it's not a hotel that's suitable if you're there on business. The hotel itself is clean and professional, with facilities that go beyond its 3* rating. However they seem to want to sell themselves very clearly to the package holiday crowd, so there are lots of very loud games by the pool, loud music during the day and loads of noise at night. The noise from the adjacent shopping mall was so bad that I phoned the very lovely concierge three times one night - despite the hotel staff being extraordinarily kind, this is something they can't control. If you want somewhere cheap to chill out, this could do the trick - although as someone that likes my lounging by the pool to be in blissful silence, this is something they can't provide.

This is an original Egyptian hotel with all comforts. The staff is great, always tries to help you. The food is more than average. The rooms are clean but need a little bit of care. The position is perfect, right on the beach and right of the main street with all shops and restaurants. If you don't want to spend too much and have a private beach without care too much in small details, this is the right place for you.

I stayed for an over night in the hotel. The hotel is somehow close to the airport, however it's far from the activities in Neama Bay but somehow close to Soho Square, so location isn't the best. The rooms are spacious and clean, yet somehow dated; the lock of the room needed to be maintained. Beds are not comfortable at all. The private beach is fine, the pool is good as well and the animation team did many activities. Overall average hotel.

First there’s no way that the food is 5 star although you can eat plenty of it. Also Agoda advertised free 2 way transfers but we actually had to pay ( they did refund us 15 usd and apologized tho). The gym and pools are very nice and you can drink as much beer and vodka as you want but it is cheap local stuff, that is not the best to say the least. Anyway if the price is cheap enough I guess it’s worth staying there for a couple of days.

The swimming pool was nice, the rooms were comfortable, the location is far from Namma Bay, a shuttle bus always full and I have to take a Taxi to Namma Bay. Make sure you just cross the street and take a Van service, the cost is 3 Egyptian pounds / person rather than paying 55 pounds for the hotel Taxi. The same way when you come to Sharm El Sheikh Airport. The Taxi inside will charge you 70 pounds, but if you walk 200 yards outside the airport. You can get the same Van service for 5 pounds / person. The cleaning service in the room is lousy. never changed the bed sheets during my stay. The hotel is deserted at night, you have to go to Namma Bay for any sign of life. Travel tours in the hotel are very expensive. Go to Namma Bay and walk around, you will get the same tours for almost half the price. If you didn't get all inclusive. They charge you 14 pounds for 2 pounds bottle of water.

Despite friendly and very helpful restaurant staff that made the stay durable there is no way I can recommend this hotel. I have given 5 stars for those staff, but most of the staff behind the front desk are rude unhelpful morons - no concept of 'welcome to our hotel' with a friendly smile, which is what you need at 3 am when you arrive. That included being ripped off for a $30 early access to the room charge, when my staff were not charged. The hotel itself is a monolith of granite and marble - but shower rail fell off, plumbing to the toilet leaked across the bathroom floor. Worst of all, smoking is allowed within the public areas of the hotel - including the corridors to the rooms. The main clientele are cheap tour Ukrainians that almost without exception smoke non-stop. As for Sharm el Sheikh, great coral in the Red Sea but everything else is not worth the trouble. The airport security is also a nightmare on departure.

This resort had the best location so far, on my yearly break and decide to choose this resort as it is near to airport and the dive operator can come and fetch me at this resort, anythis the room is clean and nice, staffs is very helpful with everything, love the pool bar and the view to Red Sea is cool and chill. The buffet however is average, normal and i was confuse with the wrist band that was given to me on the reception counter, hence i had no idea i need to pay for the buffet lunch and dinner.

I stayed in this hotel a week in November. On positive: I was welcomed very nicely with hot towel and cocktail. Room was spacious and very well cleaned. Food is various and you can always find something you can enjoy. Highlight of whole stay is spacious beach with coral reef finishing in the middle so you can have sandy beach on one and coral reef with colorful fish on the other. Also animation team was great always trying to shake things up and stuff in general are really helpful and willing to help. Drinks were included in my all inclusive stay but after trying local beer, wine, cocktails I mostly stick with beer and coffee. Cocktails are just blade in to look, not so much taste, like real ones. On negative: Location of the room was not the greatest one. Internet is cable only in rooms and WiFi is free and existing in hotel lobby only. Suggest to buy local sim. SPA is overrated. I had far better and cheaper SPA experience in different countries. Overall 4,5/5

A lovely hotel with helpful staff and superb facilities but completely let down by the lack of quality in the food. I was not all inclusive so had to pay for whatever I had, which wouldn't have been a problem if I was paying 5* prices for 5* food - but i wasn't. I paid 5* prices for cheap quality. There was a wide selection of food at the breakfast buffet but there was only Instant coffee from a Nescafe machine and cheap sugary breakfast juices. Lunch from the sea view grill restaurant was let down by clumsily prepared salads, cheapest quality meats and the instant coffee/cheap sugary juice. I decided to check the online reviews of local restaurants and had some amazing experiences in the best that Sharm El Sheikh has to offer.

we really enjoyed our stay at the hilton waterfalls. the room was very big and well appointed. the facilities in the hotel were excellent - several restaurants to choose from, an outdoor cinema, a spa, several pools and a fantastic 5* padi dive centre - high recommended! the only thing that could be improved is the buffet food in the main restaurant... but i think that's a criticism of all inclusive hotels in sharm el sheikh in general.

In general the experience of the hotel was quite wonderful. the staff was friendly and would do anything we ask within seconds. the scenery is absolutely beeautiful with the outdoor swimming pools and all. the beach was not that good but that's just the rocky Red Sea it's not the hotels fault. The food was great. Loved the big buffes. The indoor buildings are although a bit old. Quite clean but old built, which made them look not so clean.We're from greece and the tv channels were most in Arabic and other languages. Should be at least one channel in Greek.

My experience of Sharm I think was changed by this hotel alone. The hotel is well kept, the staff are super friendly but still allow you to enjoy your own space and it is fantastically located right on the edge of Naama Bay, so you can either take part in the activity on the Bay or enjoy the chilled out decking around the pool on the top of the hotel - great views too! I went diving and the dive school is literally 1 minute from the hotel.
