So pleased to say ..... Overall first experience of this hotel and Egypt last week was very pleasurable. We had all read recent reviews of this property before we left to stay there. Reviews such as rooms not so good,dirty bathroom, not for the British, and do not stay here rung in our ears as we packed. We hadnt had... More

We stayed in an outside room in June 2012. The lobby and pools were quite impressive and we thought we were in for a 5 star stay. We were wrong. The bathroom was really dirty with stained toilet and shower. I wouldn't stay here again but do go to hurghada - the snorkeling is amazing !

I have just come back from this hotel and would not recommend that English visitors go there. Since I last visited in March 2012 it has new owners and Russian holidaymakers have been encouraged to go there. It has been renamed the Sea Shell, has been made all inclusive, and whilst most of the old staff have been retained, the... More

The rooms, pool area and restaurant were filthy and I mean filthy. There is no choice for meals, every night is the same chicken, beef and fish. The chicken is so dry and none of the food seasoned. There is no fruit or cold meats(no five a day here). The drinks are served in small plastic cups (even the Lager)... More

This hotel needs some changing of management, and a quick one! First of all, the hotel's location is bad. You literally don't have anything around it, to get a bottle of water you have to walk 15 minutes one way (on that heat!). Another thing is the food. Not much choice, pretty poor actually, and a lot of national cuisine,... More

I was here with Contiki in August 2011. This was a last minute switch. The room was an average size for a hotel in the USA so that meant it was larger than an international one. Most of the rooms had a beautiful view. AC worked well, the bed was comfy, and there was a fridge. It was very quiet.... More

The Hotel is very nice. We stayed in the back building and got a great room with a view. The fact is that you can not open the blinds since it is too hot, so the view is something you know its there  The back side of this building is odd, only sand, construction material and few construction workers,...

Stayed here as part of a tour and was pleasantly suprised. Hotel was clean but the rooms were a little dated. Not sure where the mosquites were coming from (possibly the air conditioning) but my friends two rooms had them as well. Room and bed was comfortable and the private beach and pool was very nice. Buffet dinner and breakfast... More

The following points summarise our stay at the Safir Hotel: In bath shower. Grout in bathroom was dirty. No complimentary toiletries apart from soap (but this is not unusual in Egypt). Table linen at one of our breakfasts was soiled – prior guests had spilt coffee/tea and the linen was not replaced for our meal. Range of food at breakfast... More
