This hotels main feature is the location. It is right in the heart of Naama Bay, opposite the Hard Rock Cafe. Within 5 minutes walk are dozens of restaurants, bars, shops, etc. It does actually have a nice pool, but the ocean is a 5 minute walk and hotel guests have access to a private beach.
It has a small low key restaurant with breakfast included. Free wi-fi is available in the rooms.
Most of the patrons at this hotel seem to be Egyptians. So don't expect everything to be up to Western standards. Rooms have A/C, a fridge and ensuite with hot water. But they are rather plain and spartan and slightly grubby. However the staff are friendly and helpful and when I complained about sheets that were less than clean they were replaced immediately.
The price was ~$80 per night, which is about half the price of almost anything else in that area.
The rooms are spacious enough, with a small fridge, TV, attached bathroom with hot water, and A/C. However there is poor maintenance. For example if the fixture which holds up the shower head breaks, it is not repaired. Burned out light bulbs are not replaced, faulty air-conditioning not repaired. And cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. Though towels and sheets are changed daily and floors superficially wiped, the staff do not ever go to the trouble to clean the grime behind the toilet, remove hairs from the floor of the shower, clean the outside or inside of the trash cans, fridge, or the shelves of the closet, or vacuum the rug in the room. I have never had any problems with cockroaches or ants, so it could be worse.
Internet worked very badly for me during my entire stay. Nearly never a connection in my room and even in the reception area there was not an easy connection. According to a friend of mine who lives in Sharm and works at another hotel, wifi connections don't work well with iPhones or iPads. Apparently Sharm locals avoid getting an iPhone because of this difficulty.
The TV channels are mostly in Arabic. During past visits, the hotel staff was kind enough to have their technician alter the satellite dish orientation when I requested an English-speaking news channel. This time it took them four days and repeated requests from me before I had CNN in the room. The receptionists are not as friendly as the previous personnel and their English is more limited.
I booked breakfast with my room, which was a mistake, though the charge for breakfast was minimal. The buffet caters to the taste of local guests with a bean-paste known as "foul", mashed potatoes, inedible processed cheese, and unappetizing pastry, all served room temperature as there is nothing under the serving pans to keep the food warm. They did also have a nice white creamy Egyptian feta cheese and some cucumbers, which were good, as well as the possibility to get a fried egg or omelet, which would have been tasty had it not been soaked in oil, as was a dish composed of fried eggplant and peppers. There is no fruit juice, yogurt, or fruit and only instant coffee (and tea) is available.
The hotel has a pool and outside tables, and a little bar which kindly gave me hot water whenever I asked, to make a cup of tea or cappuccino which I'd brought along with me. I think with a bit of upkeep and attention Naama Inn could be a great budget hotel, but management either doesn't care or doesn't have the financial means to maintain standards of hygiene or service. I stay here because it's so cheap and they give me a double room even though I'm alone, without charging extra; for just a bit more money I imagine I could find a better hotel option or rent an apartment. However paying only €117 for 8 nights in a conveniently-located safe hotel, well, I guess beggars can't be choosers!
"Stay by the pool if you can, upstairs rooms overlook the street which could be noisy."Read full review
