TL;DR

At some Sharm El Sheikh hotels, guests report arranging a better room directly at reception for about US$20–30. Inspect the assigned room first, as even pre-booked higher categories may not match expectations.

A typical starting point reported for a room upgrade at reception is around US$20–30. Ask the receptionist to confirm the price before paying and view the proposed room first.

Booking a higher category does not always guarantee the expected room: one report described reserving Deluxe but being assigned Superior. Check that the room category matches your booking voucher at check-in.

If the first room is unsuitable, ask to see alternatives before agreeing to an extra charge. One guest only found an acceptable option after viewing a third room.

A small payment at reception can be less expensive than pre-booking a higher room category, but the outcome depends on availability and the individual hotel.
