We stayed for one week here. As some of the other reviews say, it is a very basic hotel within a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Sharm and so out of the crowds. The staff are great if you are prepared to be sociable and have a laugh (You are on holiday after-all!) especially the breakfast, reception... more

This is a great hotel if you are just diving for the week with Emperor Diving. Diving Centre is located in the hotel so just fall out of bed and downstairs. Breakfast very very basic. Room was awful - like a hostel but as all we did was sleep there it was ok. Staff were very nice but I wouldn't... more

just got back from 2 weeks at Bay View....... Great location just a few minutes walk from the centre of naama and all the facilities and beachfront but with a peaceful location.

Pros: Decent hotel with very helpful staff, clean rooms, and close proximity to Naama Bay. Cons: Food.. Me and 4 friends stayed here in August this year as an alternative to an out of town mega hotel which is what you usually find in Sharm. We were pleasantly surprised at the location of the hotel which was just round the... more

I stayed in this hotel like others, for a weeks diving as Emperor Divers are based there. No problem with Emperor Divers at all, but my advice would be to stay somewhere nicer maybe a short distance away and use their complimentary morning shuttle or walk to their dive centre each morning if it's not far, as many others did... more

I stayed here with 5 friends in September 09. We were here primarily to dive and have been to Naama Bay many times before. The Bay View is clean and functional but certainly not plush or luxurious. The rooms are fine and cleaned daily but the pool area is shabby and the breakfast fairly grim. I would certainly not recommend... more

Whilst the hotel itself is lovely and the staff friendly beware if you go on all inclusive as its like nothing else I have ever experienced, this was the general consensus of other travelers who stayed the same week as us! The drinks including the beer are served in small plastic cups like the cups you get at the dentist... more

There are 3 things good about this hotel; 1. Emperor Divers are based their and they are a terriific dive team, 2. the swimming pool is purpose built for learner divers, and 3. the hotel location is a very short walk from shops, bars, restaurants and beach, but away from noise. There is nothing else good I can say about... more
