Top Hotels Near Old Town Sahl Hasheesh in Sahl Hasheeh from AU$118

"We had a great stay. Friendly staff, nice spacious room and good choice of food and drink. Great value for money!"

"Al Kasr sits within the beautiful gated community of Sahl Hasheesh, and overall we had a great stay. We visited in February 2026 and the weather was perfect. The hotel still feels like it’s in a soft‑opening phase, with the spa unfinished and some facilities being refined, but the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Tipping plays a big part in service levels, so bring small notes. The pools were a highlight: all heated, never crowded, and the swim‑up rooms offered real privacy, though ours had some messy tile repairs. The beach is directly connected to the hotel with plenty of loungers and a bar on the sand. Food was good, even for a picky eater, with the main restaurant plus several made‑to‑order snack bars, a café, juice bar, and doughnut station. Service, however, was inconsistent—sometimes excellent, sometimes nonexistent—and the language barrier could make simple requests harder than expected. Our room was comfortable but the air‑con didn’t cool below 23°C despite reporting it, and the pillows were overly large. The mini‑fridge was restocked daily, which was a nice touch. There’s no ATM on-site despite what Google says, so withdraw cash at the airport. Despite a few teething issues, Al Kasr is a lovely, luxurious hotel with huge potential, and we’d happily recommend it for a relaxing getaway."

"Loved the view from balcony and hot tub. A lovely hotel with very friendly people. Really enjoyed my stay"

"Far From a Four-Star Experience Let me be clear: this is not a four-star hotel. Our stay was a cascade of problems that management consistently failed to properly resolve. It began with significant cleanliness issues in our first room. Despite assurances, the problem was never fixed, leading to a room change. This "upgraded" room, however, introduced a host of new plumbing disasters. The sink faucet's pressure was so intense it soaked our clothes and the counter, while the shower head was aimed at the back wall, flooding the floor due to a poorly-sealed glass partition. After I took time out of my vacation to meet with the manager and explain the situation, I was promised everything would be fixed. We returned later to the smell of fresh caulk and a re-angled (but still not adjustable) shower head. The original leak was gone, but a new one had appeared. The shower's improper drainage pitch sent a stream of water along the glass ledge and right back onto the floor. Our only solution was to build a dam with our clean towels every time we showered. The sink was never fixed by the hotel. I finally had to play DIY plumber, swapping the faucet tap with one from the shower to get a usable water flow. It's unbelievable that I had to fix it myself. We tried to make the best of our trip, but the constant frustration and unresolved issues made it clear: this is NOT a four-star hotel. Needed this vacation to decompress. NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!!!!!"

"When leaving these reviews, sometimes you have to think about what you paid versus—what you actually received. Then at the same time, look at what their competitors like Serenity, KAI and others in Sahl Hasheesh are charging. Therefore, for approximately £50 per night, with a buffet breakfast included and a free shuttle to the beach, AJIRA is good value for money resort. AJIRA is a 10 minute walk from the seaside, but the actual patch of beach that you will want to use (sun-loungers, beach service etc) is a 25 minute walk, or waiting for their shuttle aka black limo service (tame your expectations about limos). Ahmed, who was on the day-shift, really cares about getting every detail right for every guest. Then you have men like Taha (beach server), Farhan (breakfast server) & the senior pool server who are keen and committed. On the negative side, the quality of the food at the restaurant is very poor. On our first night, we had our dinner in the restaurant and every bite was unpleasant. We never went back! At breakfast time, there is a lot of variety, but we learnt to always go for cooked omelettes, plus any eggplant dish. Falafels, white cheese, rye bread, were generally good too. Lots of things were faulty, like the room door/key card system, lukewarm fridge, safe and defunct telephone. However, the genuine will to fix these issues was evident from all the staff we encountered. I would encourage you to tip your service well in EGP - NOT LOOSE EU COINS!"
