What a dump. The girls were afriad to touch the shower curtain. The AC were broken years ago and the windows had to be left open, then the city noise came in all night.. The room carpet looked like it has never been vacuumed plus it had a bad smell. The breakfast was small and bad.

This hotel is positioned right by the bazar, so the shopping possibilitys are quite good. It isn't too far down to the Nile corniche aswell.

The good things with this hotel:
* Close to the shopping and fairly well positioned for the rest aswell.

The less good things are:
* The rooms are dark and gloomy, the door looks like you can walk right through it, the bathroom is small and the pipes gloggs up when you use the shower. The AC looks like something installed during 19th century. The furniture...well, if you don´t have to use it - you won't!

Becasue of the standard of the rooms I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone.

The cleopatra is a small, friendly hotel situated in Sharm el Sheikh. We stayed on an all inclusive basis, which is good value for money, but the selection of alchohol on offer does limit you and wasn't very good. The food is of good quality, varied and in plentiful supply. The rooms are very basic but clean and have fridges & hairdryers.

Entertainment is non exsistent in the evening and in short supply during the day... although Alex the "entertainment " rep tries his best.....his best being volleyball and playing loud music. He is a great guy though ! The staff are friendly and will do anything for you....the manager is unfriendly & aloof and seems unable to recognise that his staff are this hotel's best feature....not once in 14 days did he acknowledge any of his guests.

It his miles from any shops or bars, although taxi's are cheap & plentiful....use the hotel cars wherever possible, they speak good English & are a font of useful information.

Diarrhoea seems to be an unwanted extra, but don't think it's just the Cleopatra....everyone I spoke to ( staying at different hotels ) seemed to have suffered at some point.

Try Narma Bay & Old Sharm for shops & bars and definately pay Shark's Bay a visit for the snorkelling. The trip to Cairo can take up to 8 hours on the bus, but is so worth it, we even had lunch on a boat on the Nile.

The Cleopatra is an average hotel with an above average staff and they would be my only incentive to return. If you don't mind average, then this hotel is for you.....but if you'd prefer better, then look for an alternative.

This hotel has a great foyer unfortunately the rooms don't live up to it. We had rooms that were located along the street to the bazaar and so at night you would hear some of the noise until about 12. If you do stay here I would tell you to get a room which isn't on the street. The people working in the hotel were very friendly and more than happy to help. The restuarant was average. Most of the rooms the tour group stayed in had queen size beds which were comfortable, the rooms were always clean. Each day that I stayed at the hotel the room attendents would fold our towels into animals which was a really nice touch.
