I booked this hotel based on the awesome reviews, however, I came to find out why so despite the fact that this place is horrible. First off, the owner is a sweet talker, he’ll try his best to please you until you ask to leave and for a refund. I booked 5 nights but I couldn’t stay more than two and he refused to refund me, although, when I contacted Expedia they said it’s through him that the money could be refunded but he won’t. The photos are very deceiving, the rooms are rundown and dirty, they lack a lot of things that are mentioned while booking. There were no hair dryer and when I asked the receptionist, he said that they have one for the whole place! The bathroom was broken although I switched rooms, it was still leaking (the toilet). The water is salty and it will burn your eyes when you wash your face. There was no toilet paper or soap, and I got some when I asked. The sheets are dirty and I was grossed out by the pillow so I covered it with my t-shirt. The day I left I got bitten by something while I was asleep, it looked like a spider bite and it kept getting worse. There were ants crawling allover and I don’t know if they could bite that hard. The food was average and there is a restroom by the dining area where I saw a cockroach coming out of it one night. The pool is dirty, I didn’t even wanna try swimming there. As mentioned in other reviews, there are so many cats and a dog so the reception area stinks. Overall it was a terrible experience, Never again :(

Good value for money in a great location.
The owner is wonderful! His hardworking family is doing all they can. The breakfast is delicious, filling, and fresh. Coffee, tea, and fresh drinking water available at all times. This is the best of Dahab. The property is old (as are all properties in Dahab, this is normal and to be expected), but as clean as can be. No insects anywhere. Playful and beautiful pets by the poolside. Bathroom was old, leaky toilet, mold on ceiling, shower curtain should be changed. Toilet was squeaky clean, shower was nice and hot. Yes, I'd stay there again. Great value and fantastic location! Near the bus station in town!

Fantastic host makes all the difference
A great spot, in the middle of the action with a nice pool, but it's the owner that makes this place so perfect. Need to check in 5 hours early and check out 8 hours late? No problem. No cost. Want breakfast? Sure, every day he makes it himself. Need to extend your stay? Sure thing, this is your home he will say. Rooms are great for the cost, although of course you may find better facilities if you have a higher budget. Would definitely stay here again and every time I come to Dahab. Semi-social atmosphere too with a wide range of tourist ages and cultures using this place. Made some friends! Thank you!!

Excellent hotel in Dahab!
This was truly a great place to stay in Dahab. I truly believe that for the price you will never find a better place anywhere in the area. The manager was such a kind man who really went the extra mile to ensure that I was having a great stay. The security, cleaning staff, and breakfast personnel were absolutely incredible and were truly kind and caring. I really looked forward to the breakfast everyday, it included an egg, piece of cheese, yogurt, coffee with milk, a stack of pita bread or toast with butter, jam, and honey. The room was really nice. It was extremely clean and the beds were really comfortable. The pool was beautiful and the few cats they had were adorable and very well behaved. The location is very close to everything, without being noisy at all. The t.v. was a 13 inch and had 2 very good English movie channels. You really should stay here!

Great hotel for a budget conscious couple
Great little hotel. Emad the owner walked us around town after checking in, to give us an idea of location (hotel is just behind the seafront promenade, located in the middle of te promenade). Whilst the hotel uses lower quality and somewhat mismatched furnishings (think staying over at grandma's), the hotel room and pool area are clean. The boys working for the hotel are always cleaning and running around after the guests. Free tea, coffee, laundry and shisha when requested. The included breakfast was varied and lasts from 7am till noon! 30secs walk to the main Ghazala supermarket/pharmacy/restaurants. Whilst I went out early diving most days from 8am, my wife would relax by the poo during the dayl. She mentioned that the hotel boys would make sure she was ok and kept her hydrated with complimentary bottles of water.

Very friendly and great for the price
The staff here were super friendly and helpful - made you feel like part of the family. It's a budget hotel, but has a pool which is great, and tea and coffee round the pool whenever you want. Right in the middle of Dahab, but quiet, and aircon which is fab and needed here. Rooms are fine - you're not going to spend all day in them, but just what you need for the price.

Clean, friendly base.
This place is what we wanted: a clean, friendly base, from which we could access Dahab bars and restaurants, and go diving each day. The manager and his staff were welcoming and friendly. They offered tea, coffee, and water whenever you needed it, free of charge. The rooms are basic but very adequate: comfortable beds, a wardrobe, fridge, air- con and a good sized bathroom with shower and bath. The pool was very clean and very welcome! As we were leaving, a kitchen/ dining area was being added. Breakfast was served in the beach-side restaurant, Same- Same, where we also dined a couple of times. Do NOT expect a resort hotel of any kind- this is more a good hostel, to which we would happily return.

Pleasant, clean, no frills hotel
This is a simple, no frills hotel with an ideal central location in Dahab. The best part is how the owner will go out of his way to make sure your stay in Dahab goes smoothly, including showing you around central Dahab, changing money, and making local calls for you. There is free wi-fi, free laundry, free bottled water, and free breakfast at the Same, Same but Different restaurant on the sea. Also get a 30% discount for lunch or dinner at the restaurant. A very pleasant stay as long as you are not expecting a four or five star room.

Dahab Plaza
Good location mid range hotel that ticks most of the boxes. The owner Emad surpassed my expectations. He and is staff consistantly show they care about the hotel and their guests. I raised a couple of minor issues such as a leaky shower head. These were dealt with immediately. If you are looking for a central Dahab location with a reasonable standard of comfort, where you will be welcomed as part of the family, then it would be hard to beat the Plaza.

Warmth and friendliness
This is the perfect place for a relaxing stay in Dahab, or to enjoy the water sports. The hotel itself has everything you would expect from a hotel at this very reasonable price. What makes this place special are the staff - they are all genuinely friendly and really look after you. The owner went out his way to look after me when I got sick (as can happen in such countries!), and always had time for an interesting chat. I will be back.

Favourite hotel gets better!
We visited the Dahab Plaza a year ago and had nothing but praise for it and it’s owner Emad Soliman.. so of course, for our return visit there could be no other choice. What a surprise we had.. Emad has been working ceaselessly on his hotel and we were met with a new courtyard, refurbished rooms and a beautiful new swimming pool! Rather than sitting around bemoaning the lack of tourists due to the recent revolution, he used the time wisely and has made some lovely improvements. Just coming into the beautifully lit courtyard late at night after a lovely meal on the seafront after a fantastic day’s diving is such a pleasure. It’s also nice to know that in Dahab, the money you spend on your holiday is going into the Egyptian economy; rather than being spirited straight out of the country by some multinational hotel company in Sharm El Sheikh.. ..And for anyone who’s wondering, Dahab felt like the safest place in the world for me as a female and a tourist. We went as a couple but we’re not joined at the hip and i spent some time wandering about on my own. The revolution has had no impact on the diving community there, or indeed the whole area.. So if you like friendly honest people, lovely diving, good accommodation, and very reasonable prices, Dahab Plaza is the place and now is the time!

Just Comfort
Good location, minutes from the waterfront walk. Great accommodation for an economical price. No daily maid service but the host family will get you anything you need. It includes all the necessities, free water, free laundry, Internet, fresh towels, etc. Tours can be arranged through the front desk at a fair price. Transfers to and from the airport can be arranged as well. Going to come back to stay again!

5 star service from an owner and staff who treat guests like family
Stop researching and just book Dahab Plaza! The wonderful owner Emad, and his helpful staff will ensure that you are happy with your choice. I was so glad I stayed there for 3 nights during my trip to Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. Dahab Plaza ia a perfect "mid range" hotel in Dahab. It's a whole lot nicer than the backpacker hostels you may find in Dahab, and not fancy like the Hilton - but it should be perfect for most travelers. The only downsides are that you are not right on the water - a short walk, and that the rooms are not fancy but functional. But the upsides are many: Emad treats his guests like family, and there are so many thoughtful touches that make this place great and worth recommending: a welcoming walking tour of the city, fresh coffee, tea, or water whenever you like, and a fridge in the room with bottles of water, too. When I wanted to talk to someone about scuba diving, Emad took out his cell phone and got me connected - he didn't just say, "oh, the dive shop is over there". The hotel is a two minute walk from the water, and breakfast is served at your choice of two restaurants right on the water - the service and quality there is the same high standard and value price as the hotel.

True hospitality
Imad and his two assistants go above and beyond the call of duty to provide their guests a feeling of comfort and warmth. They work (literally) around the clock to make sure you are comfortable. Furthermore Imad has a quite a rapport with his neighboring businesses and therefore can arrange most other aspects of your activities at a discount rate and without the usual hassling and bargaining. The location of the Hotel is just a two minute walk from the nicer parts of Dahab, there are restaurants, pubs and dive centers around the corner. The hotel itself is situated around a pool with a nice chilling area where you can play ping pong, Billiards, watch T.V or smoke a shisha. All and all, a great choice for those interested in receiving the best hospitality the area has to offer.

I highly recommend this hotel. Owner Emad greeted me kindly upon arrival and offered a lot of advice about the town and the surrounding area. He offered me a tour to Mount Sinai & St. Katherine at a fraction of the price that local tour agencies were charging for the same tour. He is an honest, trustworthy owner who will make you feel as comfortable as he can, with no other motives. The price here is very low for the high quality. My room was complete with air conditioning, balcony, refrigerator, hot water, television, and full internet access. Very comfortable and modern.

Billig vistelse på byggarbetsplats
Det positiva: Hotellägaren och personalen trevlig och hjälpsam. Rent på rummet. WiFi på rummet (efter någon dag). Det negativa: Byggarbeten pågick på hotellet. Bland annat poolen som var torrlagd. Dammande och bullriga arbeten på fasader. Ska man verkligen hyra ut rum på ett hotell som är mer som en byggarbetsplats? Vi lämnade efter tre av fyra förbetalda nätter.
