Перевалочный пункт Transshipment point

My next vacation in Hurghada was connected with a trip to a dive safari. I planned to stay at the hotel for a couple of days. On my request: "We need the cheapest hotel in the center of Hurghada", the operator suggested the Biba hotel. I traveled abroad for the first time alone, and even to a completely incomprehensible hotel, and therefore I was very worried. It didn't turn out to be as scary as I expected. At the reception I met a very friendly Arab, and despite the fact that it was 10 am, without any questions and material costs on my part, he settled me in a room on the 4th floor. It should be noted that the elevator worked, but I would not risk using it alone. Although when leaving for a safari, when I faced the task of carrying a 20 kg bag on myself or using the elevator, I took a chance)
I'll tell you about the room: there was no balcony, a greasy curtain separated me from the residential area. The room is small with an incomprehensible set of furniture arranged in a chaotic manner. Two small beds, the moth-eaten face of Nifertiti above them. The floor mats are very old and dirty. Therefore, I walked around the room in shoes. The air conditioner worked properly (but in mid-November it was not much needed), both the toilet and the sink worked properly. There was hot water in the shower, but it was difficult to adjust the pressure of the desired water. The refrigerator was very cold. There is also a small TV, but if you are not a local resident, or do not speak Arabic, then it is unlikely to be useful to you, as only local TV channels broadcast. There is no satellite - this is a 2 * hotel.
I noted for myself a big plus that I did not meet any living creatures in the room.

Throwing things and phoned friends living there, I went for a walk. And of course I didn't go to dinner. And after long hours without sleep, I didn’t get up for breakfast either. Therefore, I can not rate the restaurant and the quality of food in it.
From all of the above, I conclude: "As a transit hotel, where you only need to spend the night - a normal option. " But I would not recommend spending 7-10 days of your vacation in it.
