Location was fabulous. It was near the dive centre we'd booked for the week.
It is starting to look a little weather worn.
Everything about this place was perfect: the room, the location, the staff and the food. I can't wait to go back!
All of the staff that work in the bar and the manager by the names of sayed, sa3d mohammed all those people were great and made the experience better. Also the food and restaurant were good.
The fact that the water keeps cutting out consistently. And also while I was in the room water sometimes seems to smell off and is extremely hot which caused actual bodily harm to me in areas that it shouldnt and I had to go and treat it in a near by pharmacy. I found this to be one of my worst experiences with a hotel as its the first time my skin was genuinely burned from water that was supposed to be cold.
The owner is a lovely man and I wish my review was better. The location is good with a nice cooling breeze. The room had A/C.
El Dorado is shabby, old, drab and needs refurbishment. From the old front door to the faulty shower head. Maintenance is none existing. If I had a screw driver I would of fixed a few things. The included breakfast never happened. Had to go to the local cafe every morning. Something is wrong here.
Staff was helpful and decent food is very delicious. Alittle expensive but worth it. The room not wide enough but comfortable. The most unique thing in the view and the location
The room was a little bit smaller than expected
Beautiful vibe , near the center yet away from crowds
Great location right next to the beach, easy to walk into the tourist areas and dive shops but also close to some local eateries - head to Asala Square. Room was clean, staff were friendly.
Check in was a bit delayed as the room wasn't ready but they allowed a late check out in return. No breakfast for us - maybe available if you hang around later
Staff, breakfast, restaurant, beach, location
Rooms could be upgraded and maintained better, specially like having a mini fridge.
Service was awesome and everyone goes out of his way to help you and super friendly. Clean and good location
The pillows are not comfortable
Здесь нет лобби с ресепшеном и прочими радостями сетевых отелей. По сути это ресторан с пляжем и комнатами. Из комнат выход сразу на улицу, в ресторан. Ресторан от пляжа со столиками и лежаками отделяет променад. Все очень атмосферно и уютно. Но т.к. комнаты выходят в ресторан, вечером шумновато (мне это скорее нравится чем нет). По променаду приятно погулять вечером - это самое вайбовое место в Дахабе. Риф на пляже перед отелем отличный, но заход не тривиальный. Все остальные пляжи тоже в пешей доступности. Я такие места люблю.
Мы были одну ночь, и в этот день с завтраком что-то не задалось. Насколько я понимаю человек который должен был его готовить не вышел на работу. После довольно длительного ожидания нас покормили омлетом и кофе. Есть вероятность что это была разовая проблема на которую мы неудачно попали.
Sehr freundliches Personal und sehr gute Lage direkt am Meer, gute Italienische Küche
Location is perfect. You go out directly on the beach and can enjoy the sea and sun without all the noises at the Lighthouse.

What a wonderful place the Eldorado & Restaurant is. The food is absolutely amazing The staff super friendly and helpful Vincenzo (the owner) is an absolute gent came to greet us on arrival and departure.
Nothing-Its a fantastic place
Was really nice! Perfect location - cute room. Lovely shower and bathroom
Noise if near the kitchen coz the staff talk loudly. Also breakfast was way too expensive if you eat separately. Dinner was lovely
Es war gemütlich und entspannt. Das ägyptische Frühstück war sehr lecker. Die im Restaurant angebotenen Pizzen haben phantastisch geschmeckt, mit hochwertigen Zutaten und zu guten Preisen. In 5-10 Gehminuten erreicht man den Promenadenbereich mit vielen Restaurants und Geschäften. In der Nähe befindet sich ein Fahrradverleih, so dass man auch entlegenere Strandbereiche gut erreichen kann. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Einen besonderen Dank an Sherif und Amr für ihre Herzlichkeit. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen.
Das Hotel hat wirklich eine schöne Lage, nicht weit von den Geschäften und Restaurants und trotzdem ruhig. Ich konnte kostenlos mein Anreisedatum ändern. Die Falafel schmecken sehr gut. Sherif macht einen sehr guten Job und ist äußerst freundlich!
Ich hatte das Zimmer neben der Küche. Das Personal war so laut, dass ich zweimal einen Angestellten um Ruhe in der Küche bat. Leider hat das nicht geholfen und am 2. Abend auch nicht. Die Frühstücksauswahl ist dürftig, es gibt noch nicht mal einen Saft dazu. Am 2. Morgen war um 9 Uhr kein Personal da, damit ich frühstücken konnte. Im Bad läuft das Wasser nach dem Duschen nicht ab so dass es am Ende fast ins Zimmer gelaufen ist. Zu teuer für das was man bekommt! Und das von einem Italiener
Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Spiaggia davanti alle camere (1 minuto a piedi) con sdraio. Davanti alla spiaggia c'è un bellissimo sito dove fare snorkeling. Colazione buona e si può avere fino a tardi. Il dehors molto bello. Molto vicino al centro. Bellissimi i gatti.
Un pochino lento il servizio ma rientra nel clima di Dahab. Camere migliorabili, ad esempio manca il frigo bar.
Vincenzo è un'ottimo padrone di casa assieme a tutti i suoi collaboratori...da provare la sua cucina ...si mangia divinamente! Comoda la piccola spiaggia davanti!
its in a great location right on the beach and has lost of great little cafes and restaurants right near by
wifi was unreliable, but this seems to be the norm in Dahab
Everything was great and the staff is awesome, very helpfull and very professional

Loved the Eldorado we came to Dahab for a couple of nights and stayed the rest of our holiday we didn’t want to leave. The owner and staff were amazing helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and the owner is an Italian chef and they have gluten free options for my friend that is gluten intolerant. It’s a great location on the beach with amazing snorkeling and diving off the beach infront of the lodge. Magical sun rises every morning. Location is great with a short walk to lighthouse bay. We really do not want to leave. We will be back again to this hotel for sure ❤️
Nothing we loved this place
Very nice location in a strategic spot. The room was clean and in excellent condition. The food was excellent, including the Italian one. I enjoyed Neapolitan pizza, gnocchi with Gorzonzola and walnuts, and tiramisu...
The breakfast was not abundant but good
The location that is further north and quiet, having access to the quiet beach and attentive staff all day. It provides a cosy feel with good comfort.
The toilet was clean enough but slightly tired. Other than that, all good.
Het is een heerlijke plek aan t strand, met prachtig koraal en de mooiste vissen in de zee. De kamer is schoon, het eten echt heerlijk, en de mensen heel vriendelijk. Een echte aanrader. Prijs kwaliteit is perfect.
Кроме относительной близости к туристической инфраструктуре, других плюсов нет.
Грязно, неухожено. В санузле сильный запах урины, плохой слив воды. Сантехника убита, до кранов неприятно дотрагиваться - коррозия. В самой комнате кровати мелкие, застарелая пыль висит клоками. Да номер маленький - мы к этому были готовы. Но к неопрятности и убогости - нет. Завтрак нам так и не подали. В какие часы он сервируется - так и не поняли. Сбежали)) золотая цена этим "номерам" - 5-7 долларов в сутки. Не рекомендую.
The staff. They made me feel like I was family. They are warm, caring and fun.
Location! Awesome beachfront and a 5 minute walk from the main strip area.
The shower pressure in my room was weak, but checking with my friend it was just my room
In a quiet area but not too far a walk from The Lighthouse & more importantly it was really close to Fantasea dive school. Liked their private beach with sun loungers just across the road where they would bring your drinks. Best of all was the restaurant & staff, had some of the most delicious Italian food & their pizzas were superb, the seating area was comfortable & nicely laid out with good WiFi, lots of their resident friendly cats will often come & sit with you. All the staff were so lovely & helpful, nothing was too much, they organised drivers to come pick us up from SES airport & return. All in a great find.
Rooms were a bit basic & I really didn’t like the bathroom/shower set up (which to be fair most of the hotels have), which is like an open wet room & everything gets soaked, then you have to use the broom to push it all into the drain.
Loved the cleanliness, location and service provided by the hosts. Karim provided a 10/10 experience with helping us out with any request and went out of his way to make sure our stay was perfect. Saad was very helpful in helping us manage the extension. We loved the place so much, we ended up extending our stay. We will definitely be back again.
The location was good, pretty quiet but a close walk to the boardwalk commercial strip. The Egyptian staff were extremely kind and helpful.
I was disappointed with my stay. The price of the room was very high by Egyptian standards, so I was expecting a nice hotel but this is really a budget backpacker hostel priced like a fancy hotel. The wifi didn't work for most of our time there, which was a problem because I was working remotely. We had no running water one morning. Beds were not very comfortable. Room was clean, but not very nice and did not have good sonic insulation.
Location, right across from the beach. The restaurant food was lovely.
The shower water did not drain away.
The staff here work so hard to maintain the place and keep guests happy. There is a beach area right in front of the hotel which they are constantly cleaning and tidying. I loved the location and the layout of the hotel and the yoga deck overlooking the ocean is great! They took care of all my needs during my 8 day stay. Good aircon, too.
Nothing
the staff are marvellous. the location is perfect
could not pay by card
Great location Good place to book for when we arrived but moved swiftly on to much nicer place!
Staff made little effort to engage once we’d checked in; it felt impersonal Ate there once but only once because we ordered focaccia but got pizza. Expensive and not worth it
It's was good location, perfect for divers and surfers
Eldorado has a perfect location in quiet area of Dahab yet not too far from the buzz. Vicenzo and his staff will ensure that nothing lacks during your stay. Everyone is very helpful and polite and will go out of their way to accommodate all the requests. Food is delicious with wide variety of options. Even after we checked out (due to full booking) we ended up coming back to a restaurant for our meals and the beach.
nice and quite beach, combatable sitting area and shaded area. Very good kitchen and very good breakfast. service is great, the staff is do customer oriented, really try and succeed to make your stay pleasant. easy parking on the street. the Hotel is within walking distance (5-6 min) from the center action of Dahab from both ends. and it is quite as it is in the north boardwalk. very god bed and good internet coverage, hot water 24*7. great place and even better than great staff!
Restaurant service is somewhat slow (but it is this way in Sini...), closet has no door. bathroom needed adjustment and it was solved instantly.
Beautiful place! Right on the beach Nicest stuff I've ever met, GREAT food 2 minutes walk from an ATM, grocery shop, etc. Lots of Restaurants near by, but the place offer great food
The wifi is weak, but it's recommented to buy sim card anyway The room is right next to the restaurant so it can be little bit loud, but earplug did the job, and the restaurant is closed early.
The simplicity and coziness .
Nothing
Quiet location within walking distance of the bustling Lighthouse district. The beach is at your doorstep and has a beautiful coral reef perfect for snorkelling. The room is exactly as in the pictures - more like a lodge than a hotel room but was always clean and very comfortable. The El Dorado restaurant served amazing food and there are other bars and restaurants nearby. Staff were very accommodating throughout our whole stay - they sorted out drivers to and from the airport/Blue Hole etc and in general were always looking for ways to help us. Our stay was completely stress-free.
Nothing! Vincenzo and his staff were the perfect hosts
Incredible place. Lovely staff, amazing food, private beach. Everyone was really welcoming and helpful. I'm already looking forward to going back.
The stuff was excellent, especially Hassan and Saad. He restaurant was incredibly good. We like the location because it is really close to the centre but not in the middle of it.
There is no beach with easy entrance to the water because of the corals, but I understand it is something general in the whole Dahab.
Beach and food
Over priced for wat you get
The rooms is clean the view is amazing
There’s no management and no one know the guests reservations they ended up make me pay more
The crew is very kind and caring The food is great Lots of vegan options on the menu Perfect location Great reef we saw a sea turtle!!
The room was very dark with no lights
everything was great I highly recommend this place
nothing at all keep doing the great work
Superb Food, 5 metres from the sea, and friendly staff, what else do you need
very simple facilities, minimal but exactly what you need. bed, bathroom, shower, closet, AC. good location, nice place to sit outside the room.
the AC didn’t work at the first day, but they called someone that fixed it, checked with us later that it worked well and we were happy.
Location was good, 10 minute walk from the strip. The restaurant had amazing food and a calm atmosphere. The private beach was also very nice.
Smokers in the restaurant created a suffocating atmosphere. The room could have been cleaned better.
Thé staff was super friendly and nice, helpful and very attentive. I would definitely recommend and come back. It was a little haven of peace in the middle of busy Dahab.
The taxi transfer they organised for us from Sharm was top quality with safe driving and a modern vehicle. They responded to messages quickly and were flexible with helping us when we were delayed departing. good coffee at the bar too. highly recommend.
Great location with a private beach. Rooms overlook the restaurant but not noisy
Nothing
Great location, excellent Italian food, laid back music. The hotel arranged transport from Sharm el Sheikh airport at a very reasonable rate.
Breakfasts were a little random, and didn't start till quite late.
This place is wonderfull... quiet and peacefully but still very close to the center... The staff is so friendly... the owner is always ready to help to make your holiday perfect ..The food is amazing.... just loved the pizza... i would recommend this hotel to anybody and we will come back for sure....
Nothing... go with the flow..
very clean & excellent food!
Everything about the place is great. An amazing location on the quite side of the coast, lovely corals and fish when you snorkel, super delicious italian pizza, lovely and helpful staff.
You have to pay to get a fridge.
A nice peaceful place close to the sea (you can hear the waves if you open the window at night) with very relaxed atmosphere. Comfortable clean room with private bath and air-con. Excellent food & drinks, good background music in the Italian Restaurant in the evening (not too loud, can still talk), can also enjoy the delicous food at the beach pavillons. Private beach with beachchairs and service from the bar. Everybody there is extremely nice and helpful. It was the perfect place for my holidays (spent 9 days/8 nights there) to relax, catch some sun and enjoy good food. 10/10
No downsides (couldn't find any)
clean and nice staff. perfect location
sometimes bathroom smelled
Basically everything was marvelous the view, the staff’s hospitality, the overall ambiance as well as the food..
The lights in the room were not enough at all and were so weak..
Best place to stay at dahab
clean
need a mini fridge in the room.. poor air conditioner
