This hotel looks fine from the outside. To begin with the negative, the young man whom we dealt with was watching tv from morning to evening! So when we asked for something, he gave us a unsmiling face... At breakfeast, he gave us unwashed forks, knives and spoons! The small kitchen corner he works in is truly filthy! Probably never...

I stayed in Western Desert hotel only for one day and then booked their desert safari to the White and Black desert. I would say this is one of the best budget hotel in Bahariya. Also, their desert safaris are really good and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our room was quite small, but well-appointed and nicely decorated. There was a small balcony and a rooftop terrace with a nice view of the town. Siwi is a quiet town and the bed was comfy enough, no complaints in the sleeping department. However, everyone in our group of six (6) had no running water for most of the 2-days... More

We stayed two nights at this hotel as part of our tour. It was a nice place to stay - to be honest, it looked like the nicest hotel in the town that I could see. And it's location was great. The Bahariya Oasis is a small place with no a lot to do, so it was nice to have... More

Spent two nights here, and was glad to have a clean, cool room to relax in after hot and dusty days exploring the desert and oasis. The room was very large, with a spacious bathroom. The shower caused some puddles, but was otherwise fine. The rooftop patio was a bonus.
