Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Imperial Shams Abu Soma is often celebrated for its stunning amenities, including picturesque beaches and various pools, although the need for room updates is a recurring note among travelers. The hotel's atmosphere receives compliments for its chic lobby and expansive rooms, set against the backdrop of inviting pools and the sea. Guests enjoy the spacious, well-kept rooms, but some suggest improvements in cleanliness and fixtures. Opinions on value are divided; while some guests feel additional charges detract from the overall worth, others believe the maintenance and offerings justify the cost.
The hotel's prime location garners appreciation for its beachfront access and convenience to attractions. Service at Imperial Shams Abu Soma stands out, with staff members earning accolades for their friendliness and attention to guests' needs. Cleanliness is generally upheld throughout the hotel facilities, though bedding quality has been a point of critique for some visitors.

Detailed Reviews
I spent 7 days in this hotel with my family.. the first impression is that the hotel is full of local people. They don't have a culture, if you go to lunch they lie down on your sunbeds on the beach, they leave trash everywhere, they come in big groups and you can never have peace. I immediately want to praise the staff of the restaurant, which I liked the most. The guys who work in the restaurant immediately clean up tables, if you need anything you can ask them and they will do everything to make you satisfied 👍🏼 The food was average for me. there were a lot of traditional dishes that I'm not familiar with, but there was also always fish, chicken, rice, macaroni, so we never went hungry ..
The lobby and the hotel in general are clean, except for the pool, where we never swam. At 6am the towels are already on the sunbeds and the water gets a lot dirty during the day. The beach is clean, the water is shallow and can’t swim there but we certainly enjoyed it..
The worst impression for me is the room. There is no real air conditioning in the rooms, but something similar to ventilation. It the air at the room never cools down. I was in room 57, the room is on the ground floor and have a nice view of the pool. The valets of that room are terrible. if you are not there when they arrive, they will not change your towels. For the last 3 days, they haven't changed our towels even once. I left them in a visible place so that he would know that he should replace them, but he just stacked them and put them back as if they were clean. That annoyed me the most 🤯
I'll just add that wifi costs $20 for seven days, I think. Free wifi is not available in the lobby either. You will get water in small bottles when you arrive at the hotel and then you refill those bottles yourself at the water dispensers, you will not get a new bottle during your stay.
In my opinion, compared to European hotels, this hotel deserves at most 3 stars.
If you have already decided on this hotel, good luck... you will probably go on trips and tours like us, so your vacation will pass quickly. When we come back everything bad are forgotten, I just wanted to use this comment to guide people who are still thinking about hotel..

At the end of September 2021, we spent two weeks in Imperial Sharsm.
We've been to Egypt a lot for the first time.
The hotel is clean, the sea is slowly deepening, it offers a wonderful warmth, a huge opportunity for surf lovers and newcomers.
The restaurant is clean, with a wide variety of dishes from which you can always find something you like.
The food is delicious and tastefully served.
Everything was always enough.
The staff is friendly, clean and helpful.
We met a particularly good and attentive person with a good heart in the person of Chef Serif Gebely!
The great value of the hotel and the guarantee of quality.
The carabies were adequate and clean.
The wellness team is fair and expert.
We did a wonderful quad battle with only one accompanying couple in the desert to the living sea, it was beautiful.
On the downside, it is far from the center of Hurghada and the hotel does not organize affordable freight trips there.
We will definitely be back!

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
I visited this hotel in August with my family. I have to say, I liked this hotel from the first moment. Beautiful surroundings, everything was very close to each other: restaurant, rooms, swimming pool, sea... One could enjoy a peaceful holiday.
I was curious about the animation team because on such types of vacations I like to be involved in all activities. Their offerings were varied, the most liked aktivity for me was dancing and zumba. Their animation team was great. They were smiling, witty and helpful. The pity was that too many people didn't want to get involved, which I don't understand. On the other hand, it was really hot, fortunately the wind was blowing too.
The beach was sandy, sometimes the rest of the coral bedrock in the sea, but no water shoes are needed. The sea is shallow, you can't swim much. Local businessmen walk the beach trying to sell you something, but if you tell them you don't want anything, they move on. We used massages in the hotel SPA centre. The masseurs were skilful. If someone wants to lie on the beach without any interruptions, there is a relax ing zone where it is quiet.
There is a fitness area above the SPA centre, where there is free access. I liked the view from the treadmill to the sea.
The food in the restaurant was typical of the Arabic way of cooking. Plenty of choice and I have highlighted to season and spice up meals, I have comparisons with other hotels in Egypt or Tunis and here it was the best of them.
The cleaning in the room was done every day, always tidy, clean towels.
All the hotel staff were nice.
I would recommend this hotel for a quiet holiday when people want to relax, not deal with anything and relax while doing some activity with animators.

My family and I stayed at the Imperial for about 8 days this past July. I've been to many parts of the world and I always go with an opened mind. I understand every culture is different and separate regions have different standards. However, I can honestly tell you that this hotel has a lot to fix in order to maintain the standards of other hotels in Hurghada. I kid you not, the menu never changed. NOT ONCE! It was the same meals every night, even though they advertised a different theme night every night. There was no ice at any of the bars. The temperature was at around 38 to 41 Celsius and not a single drink came with ice. Only the beers were cooled. The beach restaurant only served the same two items everyday. Worst restaurant management I have ever seen. Building maintenance was also lacking. The elevators were broken just about everyday and the AC in the rooms was not effective. No AC at any of the common areas (bars, restaurant, conference room, lobby or hallways). Additionally, there is a "clinic" on site but it is so poorly equipped, and operated. Just hope you need to use their services. Also, too many additional cost for an "all Inclusive" resort. The Spa was charging 10 Euros just to use the hot tub, WIFI was 20 Euros, Mojitos, Pina Colada or any known cocktail was additional 5 to 6 Euros. Also, the slides for the kids only open between certain hours. There were some positive nd it was only due to the staff. The Lobby personnel, some of the bartenders, waiters and animation team worked really hard. They were all really helpful, pleasant and went out of their wats to make you were taken care of. Sadly they didn't have the equipment or management to make them more successful at their job. I cannot recommend the Imperial Shams Abu Soma.

Excellent service, amazing price for everything you get, rooms cleaned perfectly, good pools, gym, spa is cheap too. Drinks could be more to choose from but the ones that they have are really good. The food is amazing with different cuisines every day. Close to the beach. Lovely water, great temperature, no jellyfish and no other fish which makes the whole experience so much better. Bars are open all day and they are everywhere. Great experience! Beautiful hotel and big too.

The holiday at this hotel was the best ever.
From start to finish very friendly staff with a personal touch. They remember your name, what you like to drink and fulfill any request😌.
Reception, restaurant, lobby bar, beach bar, room service - every single staff member was very kind❤️.
The food and drinks matched the price and I ate and drank to my heart's content every time. So did the rest of my family who were also very excited about the holiday.
The rooms were clean and ready every day.
The beach is beautiful, great entrance to the sea, lots of coral and fish to see.
The only thing I would fault on the beach were the sunbeds and mattresses. Might need a little replacement/renovation 😉.
The pool is beautifully clean and refreshing.
The range of daily activities is definitely worth mentioning. You will never be bored. Stretching, Zumba, Aqua gym, whatever you want.
All these activities and the evening program (always very entertaining) were taken care of by the
🖤Thunder Entertainment🖤 animation team and every single member of the team was absolutely perfect! They took care of a lot of fun and experiences.
I will miss the whole hotel, its staff and the animation team very much!
I can't wait to go back to Egypt again soon!

We came to Egypt for the first time and originaly wanted to stay in different hotel closer to Hurgada.
I must say I am glad that we made the effort of travelling further (roughly an Hour drive)
Imperial Shams is just a beatiful place with welcoming and helpful staff. Nothing is a problem and every request I had was fulfilled without a hesitation.
From cleaning (Ahmed), buffet staff with the restaurant Manager Abou elhassan and bar tenders (Amr 👍)
My special thanks must go to the animation team for trying their best to intertain the guests - children including (my 2 really enjoyed mini disco) from 10am starting on the beach with zumba, belly dance, stratching and yoga and lots more.
Special thanks goes to Nokia - he speak soo many different languages that I lost count - also lovely Sara, Walid and Vika. Your shows are funny so please know you are doing a great job!
We will miss this place and everyone and hope we can come back soon.

Came as a group of four to the hotel for a weeks holiday, we really loved the stay and will definitely return. Upon arrival the reception staff were helpful and gave us a lot of information about everything within the hotel and also Safaga. Our room was clean and spacious, the room boy was perfect and looked after us through our stay bringing us everything extra we needed. The food in the hotel was also really good, every day a different theme for example Italian, Egyptian, Chinese and French. The staff in the restaurants couldn’t be more helpful either!!
We especially loved the animation team, they put on a different show every single night like miss hotel, music quiz, oriental etc and we’re very fun and active with us during the day times doing aqua gym, Zumba and stretching each day.
Overall we really loved the holiday we had here, we can’t thank or recommend anyone more for everything they did for us and we will be returning hopefully in the near future for another week or two.

We stayed in the hotel in July 2022, a family with two children. Unfortunately, we would NOT recommend this hotel to anybody, especially people travelling with children. The food is terrible and you have to pay extra for fish and seafood. Kids got stomach infection. The hygiene is poor and the hotel amenities and rooms are very old. The animation for kids is very poor as well. Not at all value for money. The staff is unfriendly.

Fantastic stay in February! We liked everything there. The hotel is beautifully designed, without too much unnecesarry decorations, elegant, super clean, quiet.
The food in the restaurant is fantastic, a lot of choice, everything is fresh and nicely served. The staff in the hotel do an excellent job to make you feel good.
The room we had was spacious and clean, had a great view on the sea. It is a good choice for people who do not like big crowds and loud animation non stop, Yet , there is a choice of sport activities such as yoga outdoors, stretching and so on. The beach is wide, clean and not crowded in February.
