TL;DR
Travelers report that mosquitoes, especially in the evening and at night, are the main issue in Sharm El Sheikh hotels, so bringing a plug-in repellent is a good idea. No bed bugs were reported in these messages, and mosquito levels seem to depend on the hotel’s pest control and the season.
At the end of June, travelers in Sharm El Sheikh hotels reported mosquitoes appearing in the evening and overnight, so bringing a plug-in mosquito repellent is strongly recommended even if daytime conditions seem fine.
According to a recent hotel report, no bed bugs were seen and mosquitoes were the only issue. Travelers suggest this may be seasonal, with autumn and winter likely to be more comfortable.
Mosquito levels can vary a lot depending on the hotel’s pest control: one traveler saw only a single mosquito during a full week, but still recommended using a plug-in repellent overnight just in case.
