What to do if the AC isn't cooling or the power goes out in your Sharm El Sheikh hotel room?

TL;DR
If power or outlets fail only in the room (while the bathroom/hallway lights still work), it's a room-specific issue — call reception immediately instead of waiting. Weak AC at night in summer is a common complaint, especially on upper floors, so ask staff to send a technician or request a room change.
What the community said
One guest reported that in a room on the 2nd floor of building 6, it was very hot at night even though the AC was running — it just wasn't cooling properly. Relevant for summer travel.

Another guest clarified that a standard room typically has at least 3-4 outlets: under the TV, between the beds, near the fridge, and in the bathroom — if one stops working, report it to reception right away instead of hunting for another outlet.

A guest staying on the top floor of building 1 reported that in the morning the power cut out only in the room itself (while the bathroom and hallway still had electricity) — AC, TV and outlets stopped working. This points to a local wiring issue, not a hotel-wide outage.
