I stayed for 4 nights over New Year. The hotel is in a great location, close to all the cool hangouts and near grocery, bank, internet, etc. It is beautiful with trees and clean pool. I decided to switch rooms from 2 single beds to a double bed, the staff was very nice and helpful, they had no problem accommodating... More

Stayed in Octopus for 5 days. Ziggy was great along with the dive team and other members of staff who made us feel at home. The bathrooms let the rooms down but all have hot water and for the price you don't expect 5 star accom and we were backpacking so have seen worse... There is a lot to do... More

I got bitten by bed bugs over a hundred times, but that didn't seem to worry the manager. Because his hotel couldn't have bed bugs - it was probably just me. Ehm? Right. Almost funny the way how rude this guy was, but I wasn't laughing after two weeks anymore. Scratching, yes. I would seriously NOT recommend this place.

We stayed in this hotel for a week and we found that eventhough the price is very reasonable for the location and the facilities, THE SERVICE IS VERY DEFICIENT. The main inconvenients that we found were: 1. There is no cleaning service for the rooms!! (e.g. Towels and linens were never changed, the bathroom was cleaned and trash can emptied... More

The swimming pool is very good and clean ,and the location is close to shops, restaurants etc. However its the bathroom which really lets down this hotel. Showers were very cold and the fittings were hanging of the wall, and were not secure. The loo did not flush several times ( but I manage to fix it temporary but fiddling... More

This hotel is based at a good location (near the nice restaurants and hang outs, between two good supermarkets) . The swimming pool is very clean and there are comfo chairs around it. The whole compound looks ok, nothing more, nothing less. It once was really nicely done, but the impoverishment is defenitely starting. Walls are cracking down, tiles are... More

I spent 2 weeks here in June 2008. Pros: - Located in the very center of Dahab "city" - Still pretty quiet - Large, clean rooms - Large, clean swimming pool - Very friendly service ... see my photos for what they did with the towels ;-)) - Pretty cheap (I paid EUR 12,- for a double room, including breakfast)...

I had a week in Dahab by myself and was slightly concerned being a single female (aged 33) about safety and where to stay. Wanted to be in the old town rather than in the smart hotels and came across Octopus on a hostel review website. Liked the fact it had a pool and prices were really reasonable for my... More

Very nice hotel, maybe a little worn out, but they do everything to make it a nice stay. Close to the beach (40 m) and a nice quiet location with a great view over the moumtains on the 2. floor. For the price it a very good choice. Try the local restaurants and the local hairdresser. A great experience. We... More
