I stayed at Shams for a week with my husband primarily for the diving. The rooms are basic but clean. No TV (not that we would want it). The AC was quiet and worked well. The bed was the most comfy EVER - I wish I could have taken it home! The restaurant is a mixture of tables and chairs... More

I spent a bit less than a week at Shams Hotel with my boyfriend and we have no complaints. Before we came, I spoke to Shams (The Boss) by email and we agreed about prices and some other details. And when we arrived in Dahab, everything was just like it was said in e-mail. To my experience, his organization is... More

We stayed in Shams Hotel with friends by a recommendation of our dive instructor. Location is right on the beach, with excellent restaurant and breakfast choices. Cozy place with friendly and respectful staff. I preferred a bungalow over the traditional hotel rooms, which added perfect mood for our vacation. Will definitely stay there again when we are diving next time... More

based on my experience, Shams is the best hotel in El Mashraba, Dahab. when it come to breakfast, room service, the location, that friendly staff and specially by the sea, I'm totally satisfied. Next time I should try the diving experience with their diving center.

The staff are very friendly, breakfast is excellent and right on the sea, and we stayed at one of the bangalows rooms, very nice and clean, I think they are still renovating them so there was a couple of small things that needed to be fixed. Definitely going back again to Shams, I won't think twice.

Shams has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and it benefits from being positioned in a quiet spot by the sea front, within a two minute walk from the central restaurants and shops. This makes it perfect, as you can enjoy the night life of Dahab and have a peaceful place to retreat when you wish to get some sleep yourself! The... More

hotel shams is our favorite for five years now. Because the shamspeople are not only very friendly but also very funny and kind. The hotel is small so it makes you feel at home very easy. It's clean, light and comfortable.

Had a nice room with a view of the ocean which was great. The staff were excellent too and really looked after me. The location is very close to the main promenade so I didn't have to walk far to get to the local bars but at the same time I wasn't right next to the main areas so it... More
