TL;DR
If your budget is tight, paying about 9,000 RUB extra just for the view is usually hard to justify. The discussion suggests focusing more on overall hotel reviews, since even the shortlisted options had many complaints, and in the budget segment a 2-star hotel can sometimes cost more than higher-rated ones.
With a price gap of about 9,000 RUB between a mountain-view and a garden-view room, the upgrade seems questionable for budget travelers. It makes more sense to judge the hotel’s overall quality first rather than paying mainly for the view.
There were a lot of reviews for both hotels, including many negative ones, so if your budget is limited, the safer takeaway is to choose the cheaper room rather than pay extra for a better view category.
In Egypt, price does not always match the star rating: the chat mentioned a 2-star hotel starting with “G” that was more expensive than several previously listed options. So neither star category nor room view guarantees better value for money.
