Which room category and building should I book in a Sharm El Sheikh resort to get a renovated room?

TL;DR

For a more modern stay, book a room explicitly described as renovated or in the Preferred Zone, and confirm the building at check-in. Building 8000 by the lagoon has not been renovated, although guests report that it is clean and tidy.

What the community said

One guest found the standard room to be in very poor condition. If modern interiors matter, avoid the entry-level category unless renovation is specifically confirmed.

Standard room

Rooms by the lagoon in Building 8000 have not been renovated. However, they were described as clean and well kept, making them suitable if a newer design is not essential.

Gold loyalty status may include a complimentary room upgrade, plus early check-in or late check-out. It can be useful when booking a regular room category.

Gold status

To increase the chance of getting a newer room, guests booked a renovated option in the Preferred Zone and were accommodated in a Deluxe room. Check that both the room category and zone are listed on your voucher before arrival.
