Hotel Description
You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from Ollystays when I first pulled up to this townhouse in El Gouna – honestly, the name sounds like something a college kid would come up with for their startup. But here’s the thing about this place: it actually gets the fundamentals right in ways that surprised me. The four-bedroom setup works perfectly if you’re traveling with family or friends who don’t mind sharing space, and that shared pool situation? Way better than it sounds on paper. I mean, you’re not fighting crowds like at the resort pools down the road, but you’re also not stuck with just your own crew if the kids want other kids to splash around with.
El Gouna itself is this sort of manufactured resort town that could feel artificial, but this townhouse sits in a spot where you actually feel like you’re living somewhere rather than just visiting a hotel. The walk to Marina Boulevard takes maybe ten minutes if you’re not rushing – and trust me, nobody rushes in this heat – which means you can grab dinner at Moods or hit up the little grocery near the marina without needing a taxi every time. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. Sure, you’ll hear some music drifting over from the hotels closer to the water, but it’s more like background ambiance than party noise. The air conditioning works properly too, which honestly shouldn’t be noteworthy but you’d be surprised how many places get that wrong.
The shared pool thing worried me initially because, well, you never know what you’re going to get with other guests. But the setup here keeps things pretty chill – there’s enough space that it doesn’t feel cramped, and the other townhouses around the pool seem to attract families and groups who actually clean up after themselves. I spent most mornings out there with coffee before anyone else was awake, which felt like having a private pool anyway. The townhouse itself has that slightly worn-in feel that comes with being vacation rental rather than pristine hotel, but everything worked and the beds were actually comfortable. Check-in was straightforward too – no standing around waiting for someone to show up with keys, which has definitely happened to me before in places like this. Look, it’s not going to win any design awards and you might find some sand in corners that housekeeping missed, but for the price point and that 8.3 rating, it delivers exactly what it promises. If you want resort-style service, book a resort. If you want a solid base for exploring El Gouna without paying resort prices, this place makes sense.

Reviews
Robert from United Kingdom – 7 April 2025 (8/10)
Quiet location, clean, smooth organisation, responsive to communication and requests, good facilities, comfortable beds.
What could be improved: Lacking some items for self catering but manageable. A little far out of town without our own transport, but manageable with tuk tuks etc. It was an unusually cold week and not all the AC's had heaters, though downstairs was excellent and warm. Some minor parts of the house were not finished well, giving a functional rather than cosy feel.Tarek from United Arab Emirates – 6 January 2025 (9/10)

What could be improved: NothingEren from Turkey – 2 March 2025 (7/10)
Ev genel olarak temizdi. Odaları genişti. Banyo sayısının birden fazla olması kullanım kolaylığı sağlıyor. Kendine ait bahçesi olması rahat vakit geçirmenizi sağladı.
What could be improved: Klimaların bazıları ısıtma modunda çalışmadı. En üstteki odada klima çalışsa bile camdaki alüminyum folyoya geldiğinden ses yapıyordu. Konum olarak yerleşim yerine uzak market 10 dakika yürüme mesafesinde.
