I was on vacation with my daughter at the end of May 2023. I really liked the hotel. Beautiful, well-maintained territory, excellent beach. Good nutrition. We went on a boat trip from the Fan San company and really liked it. I recommend the hotel for a holiday.
Hi everybody.
They were brought from the airport to the hotel around 11 am, and immediately everyone was sent to a restaurant for breakfast. After breakfast, they almost immediately checked into the room, having previously shown several options. These two points made us very happy. Very friendly and helpful staff, just super.
The rooms are certainly not super (furniture, doors, plumbing, ventilation).
But I knew about it before the trip. And by and large I went there not to Enjoy the number, but the beauty of the red Sea and the city itself.
The hotel is located on the first line, in the bay, the descent to the beach is by elevator, but you can also take the stairs. Perfect.
An unforgettable vacation.
Residents of room 4237 - good service - on site, in all restaurants and bars, polite staff - Mahmoud Hessan (the room is always decorated in a new way), Mohamed Genedy, Alaau Ahmed, Mohamed Hames, Mostafa - who served us at the Calina restaurant and congratulated us on our birthday!!! We had a nice rest!!!! The most important thing is safe!!!!! The guide always accompanied THE TOUR!!!
It's a good hotel, even though it's 4*, but everything is very cool here! And the food is delicious, the juices are packaged, the annimators are polite, they do not violate personal boundaries and recreation. The Mido annimator is polite and attentive. The beach here is comfortable, there is a sandy entrance, there is a reef.
We recommend it! Upon arrival, we paid $ 20 for the convenient location of the room. The furniture in the rooms is old. On the last night, a pipe burst in the bathroom, flooded.
The staff is responsive, they quickly solve problems that arise. Lots of waiters.
The food is not particularly tasty, but you can choose. There were shrimps once a week.
There are 2 swimming pools on the territory: 1 round shallow, the second - 170 or less.
Animation works great, you won't get bored.
There is a place to walk to see the city and go shopping (go down the elevator and to the right, or from the main entrance in both directions).
A beautiful reef to the left of the sandy approach.
Walking along the promenade and from the restaurant you can admire the magnificent view of the bay.
Great hotel in Sharmal Sheikh!!! A small, cozy hotel with beautiful views of the sea and the old town. Suitable for families with small children. The beach is long and sandy with a gentle entrance to the sea.
We had a rest in July 2023. A quiet hotel with a beautiful sea and beach. Polite and attentive staff. The rooms are tired, but cleaning and changing towels every day. Bed linen is changed every three days. The food is good. If you want to relax in peace and quiet, enjoy the divine sea, you are here!
A good hotel, varied food, there is an Italian restaurant, coffee beans, bottled drinks. The Internet is working throughout the territory!!! The beach is nearby, there is a reef and fish, there are always places under the sun lounger, also near the pool. We lived in a bungalow, room 3011, the furniture is old but everything is in good condition. It was always clean on site, the staff was polite. I liked the SPA too. The old town is next to the hotel (1.5km). In principle, an excellent hotel for your money, in general, I liked the Albatross chain. I was in Hurghada earlier, the charm is definitely better. It was in May 2022.

It's the worst vacation I've had in the last few years. The service is zero - they require a chocolate bar for opening the safe, and money is required for repairing the toilet. The rooms and bungalows are just garbage cans. It's dirty, the furniture is 100 years old. Nutrition - pigs are better fed. They throw toothpicks on the table to you like an animal. The dishes are all paper and plastic. The plates and glasses are dirty. The contingent of vacationers is 50-70 years old. There are practically no young people. There is no animation as such. In general, there is nothing to do here from the word at all. All reviews of this hotel are purchased. The beach, as I understand it, is the only thing that is normal here. And objectively, if you don't want to spoil your vacation, don't come here. We flew here by the Fun Sun tour operator. On the fourth day, we ask you to take us out of this dump, with any additional payment - once a day they send information that this hotel that we have chosen is currently occupied. The helmet is another hotel - a day later they write that there are no places in it either. At our request to send information where we can be resettled so that we can choose from their list - they say they can't do that.. at the same time, vacationers of other tour operators get out of here every day. Therefore, Fan San is also responsible for organizing the rest.
Nice hotel. I recommend. An honest joke. Good food, beach. The rooms are a little tired but nice. Great view of the old town. The old town is a 15-minute walk away. There are reefs with fish on the hotel beach, but you can walk for five minutes to the city beach, then there is already a large reef and even ramps are rare.
We rested for 10 days in November 2022, it was the best weekend. Lovely hotel, food, rooms. Excellent staff, very friendly and friendly. The animators are just fire Abdul, Nagima, Masha, Atai, Antonio, thank you very much💚 We went to all the shows every day. And water aerobics is just gorgeous. A month has passed, and we are still there, we still remember you.
I advise everyone to visit this hotel, you will not make a mistake.
We stayed at the hotel in October. Of the advantages, the beach is sandy, with a ladder, suitable for children, and there are corals a little to the side. And a beautiful view of the bay and the old town. Everything else is just creepy. The rooms are very, very old! Everything breaks in my hands. Especially in the central building. The food is modest, the same every day. Cheap alcohol, no cocktails. Glasses were often found with traces of lipstick and not washed at all… The staff is not very friendly. Sometimes it's even scary to approach. I especially want to pay attention to the reception staff: when checking in, they try to put absolutely everyone in creepy rooms in the central building, regardless of the paid room category! Next, the extortion of money for another number begins. All this is happening in a very rough way. As far as I understand, all managers are aware of such a business. Almost all hotel guests go through this. I think it is worth paying attention to the top management and those who are responsible for the hotel category.
We visited this hotel for the second time, the first time 9 years ago. The changes have been for the better. The food has improved, of course it suffers from diversity, but overall it's not bad. The room was given a two-room room for a small fee, cleaning every day is fine. The beach is good, there is access to the sea and sand and corals, and if you go further to the wild beach, then there is generally beauty, living untouched corals. In general, we liked everything, we rested for 11 days.
A shabby hotel with a cheap renovation (September 2022). Of the 4 declared stars, only the food corresponds. The beach is for children (empty, clean to swim), for snorkeling we went to the wild reef beach 5 minutes from the hotel, strictly south along the shore (27.854638, 34.298674). It was this reef that brightened up all the disadvantages of the hotel for us. The rooms in the bungalows are very worn, creaking laminate flooring (first encountered in Egyptian hotels), a barely alive refrigerator, unpainted painted walls, shabby doors, windows without a hint of sound insulation (the muezzin screaming at 3:45 in the morning will not let you lie). In addition, the administration started repairing the parapets, for 2 days they walked and rattled on the roof (goodbye quiet hour), dirty smudges went on the walls outside (seen in the photo), in front of the front door there were pieces of mortar that were removed only after the end of work at the end of the day. The pool is tiny and always packed, the reception is outrageously simple and always stuffy, the territory is clean, but, like the reception is simple, there is little greenery, everything is very ascetic. I will especially note the elevator to the beach, which just didn't work once at noon due to a power outage and had to go back up the stairs on the 6th photo (approximately 7 floors). The last hotel I would return to. I posted photos of laminate flooring with cracks, mold on the seams in the bathroom and broken doors, but Yandex rejected these photos, leaving only beautiful views and the only photo of the room. For objectivity!!!
The location of the hotel is wonderful. A gorgeous beach. There is also a small reef and a sandy entrance. The beach is big. There are a lot of sun beds. The hotel is located in a windless bay and is very well suited for both winter and summer holidays. The staff is friendly. Nearby, in 7 minutes, if you walk across the beach, there is the old town.
The hotel grounds are very beautiful and there is a lot of greenery. The beach is the most beautiful in Charm. The rest was very memorable thanks to the animators. There were water aerobics, yoga and other entertainment programs every day. The most vivid impression remained from the fakir show, where Willie was a fakir. It was very interesting. Thanks a lot to the animation team.
I stayed at this hotel not once before 2017, this year I sent my wife with a child and mother-in-law. The hotel is not bad, the bay, good access to the sea. Coral is nearby , beautiful . I paid for a bungalow with a sea view. Upon arrival, it turned out that all the bungalows were occupied, the person at the reception was communicating in style - you listen here, I'm telling you... So-so service, they brought us to some small room with a view of the pool, after a scandal and negotiations with the tour operator, they gave us a more or less normal room with a guarantee of relocation the next day to a bungalow. As a result, we arrived at 15-00 and instead of resting, we swore for 2 hours and searched for rooms. Tomorrow morning, instead of resting, there will be relocation again at 10:00 . Here is such a service. The bartender works with such a face that he seems ready to kill you, but he has to serve you. In general, so far the impression of Egypt is not very good. But even before, the only thing I liked there was the fish in the sea. I hope at least they didn't get any angrier.
The dinner is not bad, even varied. But in hotels of this level, the main thing is not the variety of food, but its safety. The glasses in the bar are not very clean, for example, lipstick is not washed.
The hotel was chosen because, firstly, there have already been, and secondly, recently there have been a lot of reviews from our Russian travelers. Now, for some reason, I want to go to places where there are fewer foreigners.
But the level of the hotel was low before, and now, by the efforts of the management team, it has fallen even lower.
P.S.
Purely my observations and personal opinion.
In principle, the attitude towards tourists from Russia has always been worse than towards tourists from England, for example. Probably, many countries have this worship of the Anglo-Saxons in their blood, for me, ordinary people who pay the same money as you and me. Previously, I thought that there was simply little culture in our tourists (they do not know languages other than Russian, they are rude, noisy, drink a lot, etc.), but now everything has changed in the last 5 years, or maybe more. In my opinion, Russia has become a very cultured country. In fact, I now believe that tourists from Russia are certainly no worse than Europeans in terms of culture of behavior, and maybe even better in some ways. Therefore, it is entitled to demand, even if no special treatment from the hotel staff, but the fulfillment of their direct obligations for sure. I don't want hotel managers in general and this in particular to be able to even think that it would do for tourists from our country anyway. And it seems to me that these thoughts often visit them.
We returned from the hotel in January 2023. Of the advantages of the hotel, only its location, proximity to the sea and convenient access to it. On the beach, they poured only beer, fast food, French fries, and baked pizza. On foot, you can quickly walk across the beach to the old town, where you can take beautiful photos in the evening and enjoy shopping in Arabic. There is one restaurant in the hotel, the food is all edible, quite decent for a 4-star hotel, but without frills. The fruits are all cut except tangerines, which I really didn't like. There is no good coffee. Apples were cut into slices , which were put in water so that they would not turn black. Alcohol is incomprehensible. The wine from the bottles in the bar at Christmas was excellent, after it was poured, something from under the floor, it was unpleasant to drink. The numbers were shocked, completely killed. There are no chairs in the room. The TV remote worked every other time, it was all taped up. The bathroom is in poor condition, the water was leaking badly, constant dampness on the floor. According to the photo, you can estimate ... there is no ventilation from the word at all. It's very cold, they tried to turn on the air conditioner, but a lot of dirt and dust flew from there. The only thing that pleased me was the snow-white linen on the beds. Cleaning as always, dust on furniture, mirror everywhere in a thick layer. I recommend taking slippers and bathrobes to keep warm after a shower. If you compare it with the hotel (aqua blue), which you also visited, then I recommend only there. There are whole fruits and varied food, the room stock is excellent, although the same four. It will be comfortable and fun for children! In general, for unassuming elderly couples, you can go with children, I do not recommend it- it's boring!
The hotel is good, I liked everything. Do not take a tour from the guide, not only is it expensive, it's still nonsense, we collected 2 hours in hotels.30min oil shop, expensive oils can be bought cheaper and for 15 minutes a church, a mosque not in the old town and a fish restaurant. And all this is $40. In short, nonsense. But let's talk about the hotel, the food is delicious and varied, we were not hungry. The alcohol is good, the area is clean, the room is clean, the linen was changed every day and towels, shampoo, balm, water were brought. There is a kettle, a safe, a hairdryer, and a TV in the room. The Internet is almost all over the territory, but on the beach it is bad. In short, the hotel is good, I liked everything.
I have been in this hotel for the second time, a very convenient location, a protected reef nearby, food like in all Egyptian hotels, animation and cleaning are excellent 👍
I liked the hotel very much, we rested with friends from 12/25/2013, 2024,celebrated the new year,the tables were bursting with phenomena,the rooms were cleaned well,the Sheriff cleaned our place, the territory is large,clean and beautiful,animation works
We rested from 04/16/2024. Standart room. The room is "tired", the pressure is barely in the shower. Underwear is outdated and needs to be replaced.
The food is so meager and monotonous (pancakes are raw, beef is tough). They took only fish in sauce. Croissants 2 pieces per hand. And, in general, a lot about the issue. The faces of the men giving out food are so evil that it's scary to look at. There is an elevator or stairs to the sea. There are very few sunbeds (I got up at 5:30 in the morning and went to borrow). At 9 a.m., there were no more people available (poor vacationers from other hotels). Entering the sea is a small pebble: corrals are definitely needed. The sea was cool and the wind was constant. Overall, it's not bad. But the employees of this hotel are clearly tired and exhausted...
A nice small hotel with a convenient location in relation to the sea and the Old Town, the possibility of using the territories of other hotels is a pleasant bonus
I really liked it I'll be back. I liked the birthday. the tambourine beat well at the reception desk. 1 tall Russian knows but pretends that he does not understand us well. I personally approached 3 times and knocked out a birthday table from a friend in 3 minutes. moscow annazarova I.S.
The hotel meets the 4-star certification. We have been resting since August 22, 2023. A family of three. Upon check-in, they paid an additional $ 20 for the bungalow. I got the number 6002. Sea view. The room consists of one room divided into two. The room has air conditioning, TV, hairdryer, refrigerator, kettle.
On the territory of Albatross Charm there are several bars, always water, chilled drinks, tea, coffee, cocktails. Ice cream by the clock.
Evening shows from 21-00 to 23-00.
Food: the same type every day, but delicious. You won't be hungry!
Chicken fish beef.
Vegetables, fruits.
And the usual fast food.
Beach:
You can take the elevator down or walk up the stairs.
A gorgeous sandy entrance, you can swim with children without coral slippers.
Fish are swimming.
If you want to see more diverse fish, stingrays, moray eels, then you need to swim further from the main entrance to the beach, to the left to the abandoned beach, wearing masks and coral slippers.
There are live corals and a lot of different animals.
Old Town:
Walk about 15 minutes. It is interesting to see the mosque and the bazaar where they sell various sea reptiles.
There is nothing else to see, the replica market) Gucci Prado and Chanel made in China.
Overall, the impression of the hotel, the staff, the beach and the sea is positive!
A relaxing family vacation!
We'll be back here next year!
Great!! The staff was polite, the kids were delighted!! Daily room cleaning, different towel figurines every day! The territory is green, there is something to do in the evening! The beach is great! There is a beautiful coral beach nearby, where you can see all the beauty of the Red Sea!!!
The first disadvantage is checking into a room that shocks you, for a reward you can change it to a normal one. The second disadvantage is a very monotonous meal, beef and chicken are cooked the same way almost every day, fish is only pangasius, but always fresh vegetables and fruits. The staff is very polite. A lot of cats and their hands reach out to take something from the restaurant for them). The animators are cool) In general, I liked everything.
A great hotel for a family holiday. The staff is friendly, everyone knows Russian. We traveled in February 2023. There are three pools in the pool, one for children with warm water. The animation at the hotel and on the beach is great, fun, they always do something, so it's not boring.
The food is varied and delicious, not greasy. There are a lot of fruits. The rooms are clean.
Everything is fine, only a very old room stock! And they ask for money for the conditionally best room, which is unpleasant! Bartenders absolutely do not know how and do not want to make alcoholic cocktails that could be drunk at least somehow! Everything else is fine! The beach is super, the cleanliness is perfect! In general, I recommend the hotel! A solid four!
I liked everything, the staff is very polite, I want to come.

We liked it, the food is super, we got a very good room, the staff is always smiling, solves all issues on time and is polite. Definitely a plus for the elevator to the sea, it's even cooler than with access to the beach from the hotel! The vacation was overshadowed only by the red Wing aviation company horror, not when do not fly this charter !!! The horror! They don 't feed you for 6 hours on the fly , you can 't beg for water , everything is dirty , broken , I couldn 't even imagine this, they usually swear at hotels on vacation, but here the airline ! Dirt, devastation, and how not to feed in 6 hours of summer at all, and drinks were offered once !

Prices are too high this year. The hotel is not worth the money. They feed exactly for 4. It's a long way to walk to the sea. It is inconvenient to travel according to the schedule. The breaks are too long. We need a transfer every 20 minutes. And not after 40-60 minutes. Slides get boring quickly. The evening animations were not impressed. And in general, the staff is focused on Arabs! They will cut off the crust from the watermelon with their own, and throw the white edges. And so it is in everything- meat, fish or other service. No offense, but it caught my eye. This behavior has only been seen in this hotel. I rested in 2 others, there was no such thing. The rooms were decent. Everything is clean and well cleaned. When I was there, a girl's cell phone was stolen from a restaurant, she forgot it on the table, returned 5 minutes later, and no one even looked for it. They said, well, it happens. I'm sure the staff at the restaurant stole it. Because no one has sat down at the table after that. In general, you can relax here for a reasonable amount of money. But no more.
Thank you very much. The Beach Albatros Hotel is one of the cleanest hotels in Sharm el Sheikh. We thank the security guard Mohamed Raafat. Thank you so much for your help.
We really liked it, the food is not for the fastidious, but we found our own goodies for ourselves))The beach is super!The pool too!We are thinking of returning))
A good view of the sea and if you are lucky or arrange as we do, the bungalows are chic, the restaurants are weak in food and variety, the staff is polite.
The service in the cabins on the first line is excellent. Friendly staff. Ahmed, Muhamad and Irina have fun programs . The coral reef and the shore are gorgeous
A solid four. The rooms themselves are old, of course, but the area is very beautiful. Near the sea, there are stairs and two elevators on the sea. The beach is large, there are plenty of sun beds. There are always empty seats. In general, I liked the hotel. If the old numbers don't scare you, you won't regret it
We rested from August 12 to August 21, 2023. Overall impressions are positive. It can be recommended to visit. Check-in at the hotel is only from 14.00, but the dollar decides everything. The room stock is very old. There's nothing to be surprised about. Even the disadvantages are difficult to attribute. The beach is nice and spacious. There are a lot of sun beds and umbrellas. The entrance to the water is smooth, sandy, like the beach itself. There is a pontoon. The sea and coral reefs are just a bomb)
