The hotel is a very pleasant place to spend your holiday in. The rooms are spatious and well kept. Ibrahim, the owner, is extremely kind and helpful, and will ensure you get the best out of Marsa Alam, whether you want to do snorkelling, diving, visit the desert etc. Trust is advice and you won't go wrong! The only thing to keep in mind is that there is very little to do in Marsa Alam proper, and that the city is mainly constituted of unfinished buildings. This being said, the hotel is in a very pleasant location, facing the sea about a 15 min walk away from the town's main street. If you want to stay in Marsa Alam and want to avoid resorts, Hotel Rihana is definitely an excellent choice!
