The owner was super welcoming and helpful. He gave me his WhatsApp number and was very responsive to any questions. He was flexible about checkout which I really appreciated. I loved the vibe of the place. I loved the Bedouin decore and the fact it was very small and relaxed.

Water in the bathroom was stagnant and took some time to drain. Peeling paint in bathroom walls can be repainted. The room's lighting was too dim. Especially at then entryway once you step into the room. It was frustrating to look for my things in the poor lighting.

The room had a double bed with balcony and bathroom with hot water. It was convenient to dry clothes. I did not use the aircond but it's available too. Room was furnished with a clean fridge and there's housekeeping if you need any and the staffs are lovely. It is also a close distance to eateries and and the beach. A little walk but not too far from the go bus station.

Absolutely brilliant locations and fantastic staff.

The only small issue was that at the end of our stay water started getting stuck in the shower.

Really friendly staff, very well located (next to the main street and 5min walk to the beach or less), very nice vibe and deco

The faucets were rusty and the AC swing was loose and the remote was barly working.

I liked the style very much, also the location. The Stuff was super helpful. The room was clean.

All was good

We liked the friendly stuff, the decor of the space and the cute coffee shop on the second floor.

The bed was okay but could be better and our room was next to the main road which meant quite some noise from cars. The cleaning could also be improved (more often during your stay too). However, seen the price, we were satisfied with our stay at Alf.

We had a good stay at Alf Leila. The staff is friendly, the location good (close to 'town') and the pick up service from the airport convenient. The common areas are nice and the overall vibe is good.

The bathroom and bedroom floors were very dirty/grimy. During my stay my room wasn’t cleaned once and i was not asked if I wanted cleaning. The hotel’s design/concept is great, however, the place is worn and could do with a bit of renovation and a thorough cleaning.

I have seen this property from the outside for many years and always wanted to stay there as it seemed to be different in style. The Alf Leila features a cute overall boutique design with mosaic tiles and an oriental touch. Rooms don’t have numbers but names. I really liked my bed built into a niche on a pedestal. The room featured a fridge, aircon and a comfy chair. The bathroom had a large shower. I appreciated that I was contacted in advance to check if I needed transport or anything else.

Located near a main street, so it's a little noisy, but I got used to it after a few nights.

Staying there felt more like visiting friends or family rather than a hotel. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. I very much enjoyed my 2-weeks stay (the "cinnamon"-room) and will definitely come back some day. The breakfast restaurant/cafe inside the hotel is a huge plus.

Very cozy place with friendly staff. Would definitely book again

Would have liked some more proactive housekeeping e.g. toilet bins being emptied (stayed 1 week). Also the rooms could do with a little bit of love as some small things broken and a little upkeep would make a big difference. Didn't really impact how comfortable I felt in the room though so more of a suggestion than complaint.

Really cute boutique riad hotel, with comfy beds (and soft towels!) that felt clean and welcoming by staff who gave you plenty of privacy. Really liked the riad style and rooms had cool traditional features. Location was a short walk from the beachfront with nice cafes around and overall really good value for money. Would recommend and come back! Staff were always contactable by WhatsApp even though not always around - good communication.

However, there is a really busy road nearby, and a lot of traffic noise in my room which was facing that (Saffron). I never used the balcony for the same reason. The kitchen of the breakfast cafe is right next to the room, and they start early. The staff did what they could to move me to a more quiet room though.

The communication with the owner and staff was excellent, I felt well taken care of at all times. The room and the place looks like the pictures. You can walk to/from the bus and the center of Dahab. The is a great (though a bit pricey) breakfast cafe in the hotel, and a coffee station with free coffee/tea for 1$ pr day.

We loved our 3 night stay at Alf Leila! Ayman, the owner is so lovely, overseeing our every need from the moment we booked our reservation. He is super attentive to all my questions of things to do, etc He organized a pick up from Sharm El Sheik airport to the hotel and made the transfer was seamless, even at midnight! The hotel is so charming - the hotel is riad style and the rooms are spacious and unique. I loved that it is just far enough from the beach walk where the bars and restaurants are to be quiet and calm. Don’t forget to get the breakfast at the hotel’s breakfast restaurant! It is a locally known thing that breakfast at Alf Leila is amazing. Anastasia and the staff was wonderful in serving my group of 5 in a hurry to make our flight. And what I loved the most - they make their own kamboucha! So hard to pick a flavor - so we got 3! !
