Another lovely stay
Really good service, borh in reception and cleaner. There is a Continental breakfast available at the Mosaique or a full Oriental at the Steakhouse in the marina. Only negative is that the Sunbeds are very uncomfortable.

The front desk doesn’t know what he is doing. He was about to charge me again unless I show him my confirmation number that I already paid online. I requested tissue and coffee bags came after 2 - 3attempts. Towels has some iron burns,& raged, no bathroom tissue ( room wasn’t ready for guest) coffee bags were empty inside the tray.

The hotel was fine, I wouldn't say 4-star but 3-star. And about the hotel staff, there's was nice people and there was also ignorant people. the room was fine, the guy told me that we will get a room with pool access through the balcony but I got the other balcony instead..... it's disappointing. Breakfast was ok with the pancakes and the eggs but not a lot of bread and couldn't eat cereals because the bowls were so tiny.

Convenient location
Fanadir is a smaller property with decent sized rooms; however, the bed was a bit hard and the rooms a little run down. There were missing tiles in the bathroom, but it was clean and the air conditioning worked well! We had a marina view room and being about 5 minutes walk from the marina where there are shops and restaurants, it was very quiet! The poolis nice with plenty of seating. Breakfast was average with eggs and pancakes to order, fruit, yogurt, breads. The juice was more like a powdered mixed juice than fresh squeezed which was disappointing. The wi-fi is limited to the pool and lobby and is inconsistant, which was not unexpected. The servers were not very attentive and we needed to flag someone down to order a beer. Being in a quiet location and a short walk from the marina was the big seller for us!

Clean, and close to amenities
Our stay at the Fanadir was what we expected, a small boutique hotel for adults only! The rooms were clean, and overall well maintained! My only complaint would be some of the staff couldn't speak English, the breakfast wasn't great and it was too quiet! Overall I would recommend the hotel if you're boring, otherwise there is others!

Thank you very much for the appreciation you have for Ali Pasha Hotel, we are really happy you felt the hard work we are doing in trying to improve the hotel. I will make sure to pass your nice comments to our team members. I would like to clarify the rate issue, there is no discrepancy between Egyptians and foreigners booking directly the hotel, that it is a telephone or online bookings, the rates are the same, that some web sites put the price without taxes, when it comes to final payment, it is the same rate that will be applied. I sincerely hope this clarifies it. Next time we will have the pleasure to see you among us, i think you will see even more changes. Wishing you a lovely time, Kind regards Jean-Philippe Ferrini Ali Pasha Hotel Manager

Cleaning issue but good stay
The location is very good, few minutes waking from the restaurants yet it's quite. The breakfast was three stars but ok. What really shocked me was the room service, they di not change the sheets everyday!! Yet, if the cleaning issue is solved i can definitely stay in this hotel again. We didn't use any services in the hotel ( i doubt that there is any)

Relaxed and Comfortable stay
Very clean hotel and helpful staff. Room and view excellent. B&B basis and pleased we did not book half-board or fully inclusive as the restaurant was very plain and food OK for breakfast and perhaps a sandwich by the pool but had no appeal for a full meal! Location was fine albeit a little away from the centre of town but then only a short and pleasant stroll to the marina or a tuk-tuk to the centre of town. Biggest downside was lack of wi-fi other than near reception and even then not very good. This was a pain as I needed to keep in contact with my office.

Wonderful hotel with rooms overlooking the marina.
Great value for money and wonderful staff but a couple of things which let the hotel down, although a kettle and cups are provided in each room there's no tea/coffee etc. and you have to pay for this? Additionally the step in/out both sides of the pool are loose and unsecured. Although we reported this it was a case of well, not much can be done. Overall - good value for money and the breakfast was superb and I would stay again.

Beautifully designed hotel in a haven of peace
My stay at the Fanadir hotel was characterised by a sense of relaxation and comfort. Having had much experience of 'flexible' Egyptian timing, I was delighted to see the well- organised and prompt transportation arrangements on my arrival at Hurghada airport. I checked in quickly and was assigned a room on the second floor with a small open balcony looking towards the pool. The room was spotlessly clean with lots of space and facilities. I was particularly glad that the A/C worked efficiently and quietly, and that the hotel had a clear awareness of the requirement for eco-efficient power infrastructures. Breakfast provision was basic,but sufficient. The omelette and eggs 'station' was a nice touch, and I enjoyed what the chefs there provided. The pool area was well-managed, and this is where the 'adults only' aspect of the hotel came into its own.The only sounds of lapping water and tastefully quiet music was exactly what I was looking for on my short break. I would recommend the Fanadir hotel to anyone wanting rest and relaxation, be it couples or solo travellers. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Great location and quiet stay
Fanadir generally is a quiet hotel to stay in, with a great location to give you the whole Gouna experience, everything is a walking distance and the hotel has a very positive energy. The hotel however doesnt provide any amenities in the room, no complementary tea or water and the breakfast is quite limited, so you will need to buy your stuff from the nearby market - around 15 min walking distance - or get it with you

Great Location, stayed Dec2013
I stayed a week in a basic room, it was clean, large and well appointed. I had a balcony with pool view which was nice. The hotel was quiet and did not have many guest during my visit but the staff where very helpful and friendly, the food was of a decent quality with a fair bit of variety. I would use this hotel again as it was very well located for kitesurfing, probably the closest but on that note El Gouna is very small and most hotels are not far from kiting beaches and you pay £5 Egyptian for all tuk tuk journeys anywhere within resort.
