Liked: Great location, lovely swimming pool that can be accessed in the property over the road (Christina Palace)

Disliked: Staff were not so helpful. Susanna was lovely but the male staff were quite aburupt and were constantly asking us to pay our room bill at 8am on our last day (at breakfast) before we had even checked out.

The property's response is...

Liked: The place was spotlessly clean.We were in a bedroom with 3 beds and it there was plenty of room. The rooms were cleaned on a daily basis and even had flowers placed over the pillows etc which was lovely . Breakfast which was served across the road was really delicious . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Liked: Very clean , large room - friendly staff - loved the towel sculptures every day! Great pool, reasonably priced food & drinks at the restaurant although breakfast was very basic. Good Wifi connection & book exchange. Good location on the water and walking distance to all the restaurants & shops etc. Basically offered everything that a budget traveller could ask for.

15 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This was the best accommodation we had during our 3 week trip in Egypt. The room was most importantly clean, but it was also well decorated and furnished. The buildings themselves were very pretty, and the staff very friendly.The breakfast included in the price of the room was excellent - cooked breakfast, cereal, fruit, breads and best of all, omlettes and pancakes cooked right before your very eyes. The location was fantastic - just at the bottom of the promenade, only 5min from the central shopping and dining area. The hotel also provided a computer with internet access for free which actually worked!

Disliked: The room came with an electronic safe in the closet. We set the code and gave it a try, but once we closed it we couldn't get it open again. We didn't complain (I'm sure the hotel would have found a way around it) but it was a little disappointing.

17 October 2009 Caito would recommend this property

Liked: I can't write enough about what we liked about this property. Simply said, "EVERYTHING!!" The quick email replies and personal attention I received during the months prior to our arrival and reservation made me feel very comfortable in choosing to book at Cristina's. And the customer service just got better and better once we arrived! The location was very good, the rooms were lovely, the lounge areas had a beautiful view, the restaurant was fantastic and the included buffet breakfast was a wonderful way to start the day! A lot of value for your money. The staff was the icing on the cake! Everyone was so attentive and so friendly. I miss their smiles and conversation. Susanna was so helpful and such a pleasure to meet. We were very sad to leave and hope to return again! Caito - Pittsburgh, PA USA

Anna Phillips

05 September 2009 Anna would recommend this property

Liked: I stayed at the Christina once before, 3 years ago. They are just as kind and helpful now as they were then. They have opened a beautiful new reception, pool, and pool bar area that are all lovely, and it is easier to go between the residence and the beach areas of the hotel now. You can stay in a camp in Dahab for less money, but the Christina is really grand and lovely for not much more. For me, as a single woman traveling alone, the peace of mind of having my own room is worth the extra. It's more like staying at a 3 or 4 star hotel, at least. which is pretty amazing for €15 per night!
