המיקום של המלון היה טוב מאוד. השירות בקבלה היה נחמד, אבל השירות שקבלנו מהמועדון צלילה ששייך למלון היה זוועה. WiFi של המלון לא עובד טוב ובחדרים אין קליטה דברנו עם הקבלה שיטפלו בזה וזה לא טופל.

The Hotel is in a great location right on the boardwalk. Despite this, it is not loud. So you get the convenience of being close to everything while still being able to sleep at night. Reception was very helpful with the planning of day trips and advice as well.

Wir haben uns während der Herbstferien in Dahab im Shams aufgehalten. Der Urlaub war insgesamt sehr, sehr erholsam. Das Personal super nett und freundlich. Die Anlage sauber und schön angelegt. Insgesamt gibt es für uns nichts zu monieren. Wer ins Shams fährt sollte allerdings Tierlieb sein und sich nicht an Katzen stören (Petfriendly). Für uns waren die Samtpfoten kein Problem. Aber, wer nicht ganz so Katzen narrisch ist wie wir der könnte, allein durch die Anzahl, ein Problem damit haben. Meine Frau und ich werden auf jedenfall wiederkommen.

Great location

The Shams Hotel is in a great location in Dahab. The hotel is situated against the ocean with the hotel entrance at the main shopping area in Dahab that is lined with numerous restaurants, shops, and travel agents. We spent a week at the Shams Hotel and had great service from the hotel staff. We arrived in Dahab without an agenda, but found it very easy to book day trips the day before for the places we wanted to go. The Shams Hotel also provided excellent airport transfers.

Trés bon emplacement mais confort sommaire

Les murs de la salle de bain étaient grisâtres par l'humidité et non jaunes comme prévu. Un coup de peinture aurait été le bienvenu. Problème de fuite aussi dans la salle de bain Pas de wi fi dans la chambre
