The nicest  place in Dahab

Staff were wonderful, super helpful and friendly and they went all the extra miles to help us and make us have the best vacation. The rooms were super clean and tidy, the facilities were the best in dahab, and even the owners were super inviting and very generous. It was a great experience and I’ll be sure to do it again.

Outstanding place

Wow what an experience! I want to say a big thank you to all the staff. The facility was so well taken care of, if you need anythin just ask them!! V Impressive service. Diving was SPECTACULAR and bring water shoes if you go on the beach adventure

If you want to be welcomed with the best hospitality in Egypt, visit SHAMS. 5 star service Better than others all around

Very welcoming place, super friendly staff and clean rooms, freshly renovated and comfortable. The rooms have A/C and fridge, different room types available. Restaurant offers both breakfast (several different options) and lunch/dinner. Have been there many times and will go back!  Location is also good, on the sea side, not too far from the main street and Dahab centre, but in more quiet area.

Amazing place to stay

Sham's is a fantastic place to stay in Dahab.  At the end of the pedestrian only walk, so you're within easy walking distance to lots of restaurants, stores and services (massage!), while still being reasonably quiet.  The rooms are comfortable, but the bathrooms are pretty basic.  The people are fantastically friendly and helpful.  Our first room (#14) with the wraparound view of the ocean was just too small for us and our bags - two adults with two big bags, two carry on bags and a small backpack, there just wasn't enough floor space to get around the bags.  They graciously allowed us to move across the courtyard to room #3, which was bigger, and still had a view of the ocean.  The beds were comfortable as were the pillows.  Each room has a small refrigerator and usually a kettle for hot water & tea and coffee (ask if your room doesn't have one & they'll bring it for you).  The bathroom in #3 was bigger, and therefore easier to move around in.  In #14 the shower was so small you couldn't bend over without knocking the door open AND there was no shelf to put your toiletries on, so you had to put them on the floor & then bend over to pick up your shampoo, etc.  In #3 it was a "wet" bathroom, meaning no shower curtain so the whole bathroom got pretty wet when you showered, but there was a shelf for toiletries, which is helpful.  Both bathrooms had a pedestal sink, which, while nice looking, gives you ZERO counter space to put your things.  My husband smartly removed the toilet paper before his shower, which turned out to be a good idea.  Also, there's not really water pressure, simply the water falling from the rain showerhead which is ceiling mounted.  The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the housekeepers were cheerful and helpful - including schlepping our heavy bags up the stairs to our first room, and then down and up the stairs to our second room. 
 Very clever towel animals greeted us each afternoon when we returned to the room. 
 If you ask for extra pillows or towels they appear quickly and cheerfully.  All that said, it was a very comfortable room, with an excellently convenient location, fantastically helpful staff & we would stay there again in a minute.  We went from there to a fancy resort in Sharm, and spent that entire time wishing we were back in Dahab.

Absolutely Great Place to Stay in Dahab

Shams was recommended by a family member who had stayed there recently. Like all of Dahab it has a very relaxed feel to it and the hotel compound is very pleasant. There is no pool, which would be a great addition and would provide somewhere to hang around.

The sea-front restaurant is lovely and the made-to-order breakfasts were excellent every morning. We ate a couple of other meals there and they were fine, very much in line with what the rest of Dahab has to offer both in terms of quality and price.

All the staff we came across were pleasant and helpful.

I was slightly disappointed by our room - it was painted in a very angry shade of yellow/green, which was also peeling in various places, especially in the bathroom. The bathroom desperately needs a deep clean or upgrade (see photos). The WiFi in our room cut out on the second day and was never fixed, despite reporting this. When the WiFi was running it was of a decent speed, but not good enough to work on. There was a kettle in the room, but no mugs or glasses. We were also not sure if the duvets provided on the beds are washed between guests - none of them had a cover!

We also booked a snorkelling tour of the Blue Hole. This was very poorly organised and the guide didn’t speak any English - we were reliant on other Egyptian guests translating for us. We had to drive on the backs of pick up trucks with no seating or padding and overall it felt like everything was done as cheaply as possible. The hotel did offer a discount on the tour once we shared our disappointment and apologised.

A member of our party did a number of dives with dive master Ashraf and was extremely pleased with the whole experience - both in terms of the location and organisation and equipment. Diving is definitely Shams’ bread and butter.

The transfers we booked via the hotel to Sharm Airport were all in good quality vehicles and on time.

Good, but with room for improvement

the location is perfect for divers and who seek adventures on the city of dahab , staff are very cheerful , helpful and humble , food on the sea side restaurant is amazing with a wonderful view , hotel is clean inside and room service available on request , bathroom is clean , beds make you fell like home ,  i can say it was just a wonderful stay which i enjoyed - special thanks to Shams , Ashraf , Sara in diving center and all the wonderful team 

stay for 3 days 

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel which I experienced an excellent quality of services providing from the moment I arrived, shams location with with access to the beach, restaurants and city center and amazing staff made my stay is Dahab perfect

My experience in Dahab

A super cosy and friendly hotel, wonderful location right on the beach and away from the very noisy part of Dabah but still within easy walking distance. Shams and his team are so friendly, ready to help out with whatever you need. He treated us to an amazing Bedouin meal in the mountains one evening, an incredible experience never to be forgotten. Their restaurant right on the ocean's edge serves really delicious food and offers an amazing atmosphere. 

Great location and super comfy

Excellent hotel with good facilities and very friendly staff. There is a good diving school on the spot and a good (but standard Dahab fare) restaurant. What we liked was the accommodation option of a bungalow rater than a standard hotel room (the latter is also available). The complex is almost central in Dahab with everything in short walking distance and the hotel being adjacent to the sea.
