Tobya Boutique Hotel  

Entire hotel has great design. , It has beautifuly and carefuly decorated rooms. Great leisure space, restaurant, even WCare specially decorated. The hotel lay almost by beach (only short tunnel under the road) separate it from the beach. The owner, her manager (and a son) is absolutely nice. The beach guy very, very helpful. All other staff alsonice and helpful.

Welcoming staff, passionate and always available. Manager took us back to the border customs to check lost documents with his own car.

Much more effort to be done on food quality, mainly at breakfast

Great Staff, very friendly, helpful, competent and attentive. The facility was bright, clean, expansive, and open with many thoughtful and whimsical design touches.

There was absolutely nothing I did not like.

After 31 days of travel, I have decided to keep the review of Tobya boutique for last. We arrived in Tel Aviv and stayed in Jerusalem a few days before taking the bus south to Eilat. There, you cross the border on foot and arrive in the Zone Franche of Taba where the resorts of Hilton and Movenpick are. A little further and you pay the border tax. The Tobya is on a bend in the road at approximately km2,2. It has nothing around it. Allow me to decribe. The Tobya was built as part of the future Tobya Heights project but stands completely alone away from all the resorts and future resorts. Behind the hotel are the rugged cliffs of the Sinai. Up to the left is Israel and to the right, the Sinai. If you standing on their private beach overlooking the Gulf of Aqaba, you see Jordan in front of you, Saudi Arabia to the front right and Egypt sprawling out to your right. The snorkelling here is magnificent. Added to the fact that this hidden romantic jewel of a hotel, you also have coral, fish, rays and eels to look at. The decor is remarkable; a real boutique of ancient Egyptian artwork, most of which was made by the same artist. We spent 2 nights at Tobya. One on the way down to Sharm and one on the way up. It was our last night. The hotel was empty except for us and the staff. Samry is an exceptional receptionist and human being and the pool/beach attendant, Amra, is always around to help you. We had the pool to ourselves on a night when the barometers measured 35º. Romantic, difficult to get to but well worth the stay. A real find. One of those you don't ever forget.

Tobya has to be reached by car. If you are doing a Sharm trip such as we were. You might find it convenient to stay a night and then catch the bus from the station, 1km back towards the border. The 2km walk from the border to Tobya is relatively easy, but, there are taxis. Don't be put off; 20egp (2,7 euros) will get you to Tobya if you are carrying heavy luggage. If not, just walk. Seeing the Gulf of aqaba on your left and the Sinai on your right is wonderful. The food can be limited if there are few guests, but the grilled meat if wonderful and the restaurant tries its best to help you out. The staff, as I have already stated, is remarkable.

This was really close to the border, which helped since we needed to stop on our way up Sanai from Sharm. It's a very artistic, quiet hotel - if you're from the Southwest in the us you'll feel right at home. The owner lives there and is very personable and friendly!

It's like a ghost town - probably due to the halt in tourism from the revolution. Taxi's don't want to take you the 2 km to the border because they hate Israel. This is a good place for getting to the border.

Отличный персонал, внимательный и заботливый. Отличное море, хотя очень опасное. Категорически советую не трогать ничего, что плавает или ползает под водой. Заходить в море только в крепкой обуви.

Далеко до цивилизации. Хотя, для других людей это может быть плюсом.

Low cost, swimming pool e beach, clean, friedelly staff.

Niente, non mi è piaciuto nulla, dovevamo stare 3 notti, siamo scappati dopo la prima...esperienza estremamente negativa. Non c'era assolutamente nulla di quanto riportato nel sito: bar e ristoranti interni chiusi, locali sporchi, personale indecente e incompetente, piscina senz'acqua, nessun tipo di servizio garantito

Tutto, lo sconsiglio vivamente a chiunque e andrebbe anche eliminato dal sito. Pessima pessima pessima esperienza.

La struttura

Ero l'unico ospite!!

Très peu de choses, seule la plage malgré les installations défraichies avait une jolie vue. Le personnel ils sont 4 personnes pour tout l'hotel était aimable.

Cet hotel est à l'abandon, le matériel n'est pas entretenu, nous étions les seuls clients de cet hotel et malgré cela nous n'avons pas eu droit à une chambre propre celle ci n'avait pas vu de serpillère et de chiffon depuis bien longtemps ils ne prennent plus la carte bleue, La piscine était sale, toutes les installations sont vétustes. Il n'y a plus de restaurant ouvert ni d'activités proposées. Evitez cet hotel!!

Nice design Close to the border

Nice staff and breakfast service. Private beach and swiming pool.

A bit far away from the border: 20-minute walking.

Staff so very helpful, even though they hardly had any guests. The place was kept clean and fresh. They deserve to get great business.

Beach not great for swimmng
