Convenient location; great value as a budget option accommodation; exceptionally helpful staff. Dahab is a charming little town if you're willing to dig beneath the touristy surface and Yasmina Hotel is a fantastic place to "set up camp" and allows you to save your pennies for the abundance of attractions in the area without sacrificing amenities. Recommended!
I have traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and experienced my fair share of questionable lodging, however Yasmina Hotel was certainly one of the worst. The staff was deceptively helpful and honest until you realize that they are overcharging you for almost everything. We paid 50 E.L for a 10 minute car ride to a beach and 10 E.L. for scuba gear that was dirty and dysfunctional. After the first day we decided to look elsewhere for transportation/scuba equipment and found a hotel that charged 30 E.L for a 25 minute ride to the Blue Hole, where they fitted you for gear and provided a guide free of charge. Needless to say, we were very frustrated. When we asked the staff about the ambiguous charges, they were rude and condescending, and one staff member even rolled his eyes at us! The most frustrating was that we had a few miscommunications with the hotel staff, but instead of trying to work them out one staff member in particular was very confrontational and rude. Also, our toilet did not flush after the first day and we were forced to plan our trips to the bathroom to when we would not be in the hotel and the plumbing consisted of salt water.This may pertain to all of Dahab, but I am not sure. The faucet on the sink was one wrong movement away from falling completely off. The pool was nice and very clean, but quite uncomfortable. There were some women in bikinis laying out, however we were very uncomfortable doing so because we caught young boys that were playing in the pool (presumably children of the staff) taking pictures of us. The housekeeping staff did a very good job every day and we were regularly provided with fresh towels. In all, Dahab is a beautiful place and the people certainly live up to their reputation of hospitality, however Yasmina was an exception and our stay there was certainly not a pleasant one.
hello
first of all
i'm sorry about all miscommunications
but none of the hotel staff is rude and my hotel is famous in dahab that is prices is so cheep specially in safari
and because my ( these girl ) was bit young and kind of beautiful thats why they got other people trying to hit on them by offering free services ... etc
and none of staff children at the hotel at all and none can get pics to the bikini girls or any at the pool
thanks and i hope to get this deleted from my area
2nd time ive been now and enjoyed my 2weeks, wifi great to keep in contact with family at home, swimmin pool cleaned everyday or more if needed it, rooms cleaned everyday, food was good and so much of it, if there is anything or any trip u want just ask and they will do it for u, defo goin bk. oly thing is shower turns hot and cold and made my hair feel hard.
At 100 EP for a double room with balcony and tv overlooking the pool, this is a great value for dahab. The management is friendly and helpful. There's a red headed maintenance man that's really creepy and nosy. He'll make up a reason to come into your room at 8pm while you're just trying to relax with your girlfriend and watch tv and then he'll just sit there on the bed, uninvited and chat away before finally being told to leave. The next day he told her he wanted to speak with her privately for 10 minutes so we ended up leaving the hotel to avoid him. Besides that, it's a great hotel and Value and I would recommend it.
at first when i entered the room, the room spaces is okay for 2 persons.
i was not very satisfied with the bathroom because the hotel use saltwater and the shower is not great,the water is very slow.
the rooms are clean. the pool is clean but i didnt go in there.in a conclusion, others are okay except for the bathroom.
