Catherine Plaza Hotel

I am sorry to say that this is one of the worst hotels I have stayed in. The rooms were dirty, the food was basic and the entire place was run-down and unwelcoming (within minutes of my arrival the security guard was asking for money to look after my hire car that was parked on hotel property!). I only stayed because the other hotels I checked in the village were no better or worse. The photos on this website may have been correct in the past, but certainly not today. The area around St Catherine is stunning but please note that the entire village is a building site with new hotels, streets, etc being built. Noise and dust everywhere! Most people visit for a day trip or one overnight stay at most. WiFi is only available in the hotel reception and cost $1 per day. I was not expecting 4* rooms and service but clean rooms would have been a basic requirement (to be fair the beds were comfortable and there was lots of hot water). The reception area and dining room were dark, cold and miserable. I appreciate it must be difficult to keep rooms and surroundings clean in the middle of a building site, but if the reception area was warm and welcoming it would have made a nice escape from the rooms when using WiFi.

The hotel was the worst ever. It had no hot water. Mosquitoes everywhere. The rooms were filthy. Service was terrible. No WiFi. The meals provided were horrible. I don’t recommend this hotel at all. I feel I was conned to believe this was a appropriate place to stay. Sleeping out in the open is better than staying here. Wouldn’t recommend this to even an enemy

O hotel é horroroso. O staff é atencioso, mas tudo é muito tosco. Tudo é velho, tudo é sujo. No banheiro do lobby nem havia descarga em todas as privadas, não havia sabonete! Os quartos também são muito sujos, mobiliário muito velho, metais enferrujados, roupas de cama empoeiradas, banheiro caindo aos pedaços. Detalhe: estávamos em um grupo de quase 30 pessoas, e apenas alguns conseguiram tomar um banho quente, pois não há água armazenada suficiente para todos! Isso num lugar frio… Era quase inverno, precisamos ligar o aquecedor (que nem todos os quartos têm). Muitos, como eu, tiveram crise alérgica severa. Enfim, esse foi o preço (altíssimo) que pagamos para poder subir o Monte Sinai, visto que a região é precária em hospedagem.

has to be last option to book if no other hotels are available. the rooms are big and spacious thats the only good part. now the bad parts. 1) bath rooms dont have locks in many rooms. 2) no hot water available. 3) NO INTERCOMS TO CALL THE RECEIPTION OR ANY BODY HAVE TO WALK ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE RECEIPTION FOR ANY REQUIREMENT. 4) food dont need to write anything. 5 the receiption smells of smoke
