Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 11 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Royal Savoy Sharm El Sheikh is an option for guests seeking secluded luxury alongside easy access to dining and entertainment. It is consistently rated exceptional on Booking.com. The hotel provides three secluded swimming pools, a private beach with a house reef, and complimentary private airport transfers. Prospective guests should note that events at the adjacent Soho Square can cause evening noise, and the shared resort facilities can get quite busy during peak periods.
Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list in Sharm El Sheikh is 9.2.
What Guests Loved
- Situated at the heart of Soho Square, guests enjoy immediate access to upscale dining and entertainment while maintaining a quiet, private sanctuary within the hotel gates.
- The property features three well-maintained pools, providing quiet areas for relaxation away from the larger, more active family pools of the neighboring sister resort.
Things to Consider
- Being adjacent to Soho Square means occasional evening noise from events, though double-glazed balcony doors in the guest rooms mitigate this sound effectively.
- Certain dining areas shared with the larger Savoy property can feel busy during peak hours, but guests can opt for quieter meals in the private lounge.

Reviews from Google“We have had 3 previous stays at the sister hotel The Savoy, but this time we decided to treat ourselves to a 10 night stay at the Royal Savoy (adult only) from 12th April. We were not disappointed the hotel is absolutely fantastic. The staff are all very attentive and attended to all our needs. The breakfast room and poolside bar offer exceptional quality of food and snacks. Fresh fruit and cakes placed in your room every day and Your very own cool box filled with ice is a nice touch for the beach loungers. We were so impressed we booked to come back in July and can't wait to return.”
“First time here at this hotel as disabled travellers,not a bad hotel but us in the process of renovation, although we found our stay enjoyable we wouldn't visit again food was good but repetitive as your standard all inclusive package. Pools were very cold . Visiting the beach is a very difficult process fir anyone with mobility issues as its on a rockface and very steep to get up and down with a lot of steps , there is a very small patch of sand of which you could not call a Beach . Out and about was enjoyable as you can walk around and not get harrassed by shopkeepers, Soho square is a short stroll from the Hotel and a lovely place for a wander, we even had a meal out at the Anerican diner and for £30 for two people including taxi from our hotel and a drink each was a bargain as the food was lovely, highly recommended a visit.”
“Incredible hotel. The staff are really friendly and attentive, the rooms are large and the pools are peaceful. The private beach means that you can relax away from everyone else.”
“We stayed at Royal Savoy for our vacation with friends and had an amazing time! The resort was wonderful, and Ahmed at the reception truly made our stay even better. He was incredibly kind, professional, and knew exactly what he was doing. Thank you, Ahmed, for your outstanding hospitality! 🙏🏼”
“We had a great time at the royal savoy. The room was really nice (we had a royal savoy junior king bed suite with a pool view) and spacious. Local Egyptian wine (quite good!) and beer along with soft drinks and breakfast plus canapés and happy hour at the lounge were included. The royal savoy (adults only) is next to the savoy (families) and I think the royal savoy is a bit more well appointed with a higher standard of service and facilities. Service at the private beach area that’s separated from the kids is really attentive like it was at all service areas from breakfast to bar. Beach has sand but when you get in the water it has coral (like rest of sharm el sheikh really) but there is a little jetty you can dive from. The hotel is also located next to Soho Square which also belongs to the savoy group (Soho square is unfortunately a bit ugly in my mind with A LOT of lights - TOO MANY!) but has good choice of restaurants and shops for you to spend time. Finally the hotel is about 25-30 minute drive from “old town sharm el sheikh” and it maybe a nice little evening for you to go there (but honestly don’t expect a really old town - it still looks pretty modern really). Overall highly recommend the Royal Savoy!”
