My mother and I did a 2 week trip through Egypt/Jordan/Israel and this was by far our favorite place. It is ran down a little but that is what gives it character. Our tour group was the only ones staying there and the staff went over and beyond to make us feel at home. They know they don't have the best place, but they try to make the stay comfortable. Our heater didn't work and they sent someone out to fix it right away. The electricity went out during our dinner and they found candles and placed them around the table. Our breakfasts and dinners were included in all of our hotels and instead of doing a buffett like most places, they served us many different dishes. If you are expecting a 4 star hotel, you need to stay somewhere else, but if you want an old cabin-type, dude ranch style place to sleep that compliments the area well, this place is for you.…

The units are of a rustic type, area is very quite. This place is the original accommodation for the area. One gets in touch with the surrounding, and your inner peace. Bring proper walking shoes as once you leave the road there is nothing but sand. The monastery can easily be seen from any room. Worth a walk to the very top of the mountain to see the morning rise. The monastery is close to the beginning of the climb, just past the security entrance.

It's a village, not a hotel. Rooms are clustered into three or more per building. All units are at ground level except for the restaurant which is placed on the highest point of the property. The village is in the middle of the dessert so it is very dusty. I found two large black ants and a really large fly in my room. I had a couple of insect bites on my elbows just a few minutes after we checked in. The bathroom needs re-tiling and the bathtub needs to be replaced. The toilet was leaking and the sink was clogged. Okay, the entire bathroom needs to be renovated. There is a refrigerator but no electric kettle and no hairdryer. Avoid this place if you have allergies or are afraid of bugs. I slept wearing jogging pants, a long sleeved shirt and 6 citronella patches. I made sure there were no bugs under the sheets and under the bed before I laid down. I read a review of the place before we got there so I was ready with the insect repellent and patches. Buffet spread is average but way better than the one they have at the Grand Pyramids Hotel. And...there's also this note on the door that says that the management is not responsible for anything that gets lost in the rooms. Very reassuring. I has a nice view of Mt. Sinai's peak though.…

We stayed 2 days and it is the filthiest place I had ever seen, with terrible food and leaking taps and pipes. I will never recommend it for anyone. I believe there are better places in the area. This hotel must be shut down! Even rats in the kitchen. It's a disaster I promise you. The pics online are very deceiving!
