I have just returned from a week’s stay at the Renaissance and thought it was great. I am a little mystified by the slating the last few reviewers gave it. I’ve also stayed in many 5* and whilst it may not be in my top 10 (probably a very good 4*), it certainly wasn’t bad by any stretch of the... more

Was very disappointing to be part of the Marriott chain. We made an online booking and got confirmed to stay in a Suite. Upon checking in, it was a chaos because not suffiecient staff to handle guests. We were downgraded to a normal room but next day upon questioning as to why they gave us the wrong room, we were... more

This was my second visit to Sharm el Sheikh, last year I stayed in a genuine 5* hotel - this was reflected in the price payed, this year tempted by the bargain price but still supposedly with a 5* rating, I stayed at the Renaissance Golden View. Nothing about this hotel suggests 5*. The breakfast buffet was OK but the... more

This is my third visit to Sharm this year and my second visit to this hotel. I was apprehensive that they would be able to repeat the standards I experienced on my first trip. I was not dissapointed. I am an experienced traveller and this hotel is my favorite. They always make me feel special. The personal touch makes such... more

Food in the hotel was excellent, we ate there most... more

My husband, myself and our 3 and a half year old little boy have just returned from 10 nights at the Renaissance (arrived 1st May) and I have to say we had such a brilliant time, we'd go back tomorrow. There is so much talk about whether this hotel is a 5 star or 4 star hotel. We are very... more

This hotel is a two star facility at best. I'm an Elite Marriot card member and have stayed at numerous Marriot properties for work and pleasure and this has to be one of the worst I've stayed at. The rooms need updating, the shower handles and soap holders were rusting out, the caulking around the tub/shower was falling apart, and... more

I recently took my Girlfriend to Sharm to propose, along with the rest of the family (May 08), and chose the Rennaisance owing to the strong reviews on Trip Advisor and the fact I am a Marriott Reward card holder (not that it made any difference here). Here is my summary: The Rennaisance Golden View deserves a solid three stars... more
