The hotel looks rather small on the travel portals, but it is not - but after a couple of times it works out smoothly with the room find :-). It's older, but I have not seen any dirty corners. Of course, here and there, the color breaks off, or on the paths of the concrete - but for the price that is perfectly fine. My room on the second floor was basic but clean (room 540), the roomboy did a good job and it was still quiet. What bothered me on arrival, was that the porter with $ 1 tip was not satisfied and told me that it would cost $ 5, of course I did not comply with his * request for payment * and I prefer to leave my suitcase on the 2 floors carried down - such things do not have to be and a request I have so far even in Egypt (except at the airport the 2 euro tip tricks) not experienced. Check in and check out was perfectly fine. The food was limited in scope (offer), but with a bit of good will everyone will find something to eat. What I really want to emphasize positively was that I had no stomach problems, although I had eaten everything and sometimes drinks with ice cubes - on previous visits to Egypt, I had always slight stomach problems after 1 to 2 days. Thus, this hotel was very suitable for me, since I came mainly to diving and the Emperor base is located directly in the hotel. From breakfast to s submarine it is only a few steps. The Emperor dive base with Anna and Paul at the top is really recommended, there are certainly cheaper dive centers - but it's really not comfortable and I was charged in the final bill a fair dive package that contained no cheating. I had all the time Machmoud As a diving guide and he was great in dealing with the clientele.
