Firstly as a group of quiet, restrained non-beer drinking geordie lads staying at this hotel in June, can i apologise to any other guests for the behaviour of the two loutish girls from staffs, ha ha!
We stayed at he ali-baba hotel in june 2007 - the hotel is fairly small but i would say just the right size - big enough to have the essential facilites but also small enough to have the personal and friendly touch!
The pool area is great and is always spotlessly clean - antonio (the self-titled sex student) is always helpful and on hand around the bar (can i recommend the chip butties - perfect for curing a hangover)!
The rooms were spotless and seb the owner obviously takes a lot of pride in running the hotel. It is only a 2 star but after staying 5 star in egypt last year we weren't disappointed. Only thing i would say it its a bit of a walk down to bar street, but hey, the exercise was needed!
On a last note about gumbet, still a great place to go for superb nightlife but it is getting more expensive - prices have doubled since my last visit 3 years ago.
