Our advice is to not stay at Les Rois hotel. We stayed on the basis of half pension (two free meals per day). However, the lunch buffet on the first day was not very good, and included reheated, rubbery fish, bony chicken wings and limp salads. Breakfast was not much better although they did offer omelettes. For breakfast the only beverage we could find was instant coffee (we didn't even see milk for the cereal on offer?!). We only tried to eat in the hotel two times so we don't know how it was for dinner or breakfast on other days. We were not allowed to bring drinks or food from outside into the hotel. Our water bottles (EGP 1.5 from the grocery store) were confiscated and kept behind the reception counter. If we wanted water, we had to buy it at the hotel bar (EGP 8). The reception staff and security were mostly indifferent to our requests. There are two pools. We only used the downstairs pool and had a look at the rooftop pool. Both seemed okay. The view from the roof was a bit nice though there was not much to see besides sand and construction sites. Les Rois is situated between Sekala and New Hurghada (about equidistant). It's about a 30 minute walk in either direction before reaching the edge of either area. Our room was a bit small and lacked a balcony. Some rooms had balconies overlooking the pool. The bathroom was not cleaned very well on a daily basis (behind the toilet was especially gross with lots of hairs and dust). The inside of the toilet was also not cleaned, and there was no brush for us to do it ourselves. After a bout of Pharaoh's revenge you can imagine how unpleasant this was. Small soaps were offered but they were not wrapped and obviously used before (full of hairs) – we bought our own soap on the second day and used that instead. The room was furnished with two twin beds with a nightstand in between. On the nightstand was a lamp, but the nearest plug was on the far side of the beds. We moved the beds together and put the nightstand with lamp on the side so we could plug in the lamp. TV reception was pretty bad. We got Al Jazeera, MBC, two Arabian music video channels, and one channel each of Russian, German, and Italian. One Arab channel did show English movies with Arabic subtitles, and we got the English language news channel Nile TV on some mornings. The pressure in the shower was poor but there was always hot water when we needed it. The towels were rough and dingy but clean and freshened every day.
