So, the hotel "Geisum Village". According to some ratings "deuce", according to others - "three". However, in any case, an assessment by European standards. Located next to the Sand Beach Hotel in the Dahar area. And since I have been both there and there, there is something to compare. If we forget the cold and windy December weather that ruined these days for all vacationers in Hurghada (even the locals say that they don’t remember such a cold December), then the impressions about the hotel can be called positive.
So, the rooms are quite old, but with traces of cosmetic repairs. Hairdryer, shower gel and shampoo, as well as a bathrobe with slippers, NO-)))) There is only soap! But do not forget that these are just 2-3 "stars". Cleaning every day, and clean well, regardless of the left a few Egyptian pounds. Although, knowing the salary of service personnel, I think that I did not become poorer from the 3-5 dollars left there. Bed linen and towels changed every day!!! ! There is no safe in the room, there is one at the reception, for a fee. For 10 days I gave 24 Egyptian pounds, but the documents and money were intact.
The territory is small, but cozy, there is a swimming pool, the kids even swam in it-)))) despite the cold and wind. The beach is large, shared with the hotel "Sand Beach". According to vacationers who decided to close the swimming season in 2011, and then open in 2012, the water in the sea is warm. However, getting out of the water into the piercing wind of Hurghada requires special courage.

NUTRITION. Most of the guests were on half board, so the breakfasts and dinners are very good. So breakfast. Omelet with additives in the form of tomatoes, peppers, onions, cheese, sausage (horror!!!! ), cheese, very tasty, like everywhere else in Hurghada. Yoghurts with jams, tea, coffee, cocoa, hot milk, some other national dishes reminiscent of our milk noodles and something with beans. Wonderful pastries - buns, croissants, all sorts of different cookies, in general, the death of a figure-)))) I can’t write anything about lunch, but according to the all-inclusive vacationers, nothing outstanding. But for dinner - wonderful Egyptian soups, meat (beef), chicken, fish, a lot of vegetables, side dishes - potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, pasta, moreover, in 10 days there is a great variety-)))) Baking - cakes, biscuits, jelly, from fruits - oranges and bananas. In general, the complaints of Russian tourists about the lack of borscht and pork chops were superfluous. As one vacationer said: "Have you come here to eat? " Guests mainly from Europe - Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland. There were few guests from Egypt. I think that the reason is that the owner of the hotel is a Christian, which determines the whole situation.
The location of the hotel is good, there are many shops nearby, and, compared to Sharaton, the prices are relatively low. You can also bargain, and if you need a local minibus -0.5 pounds for one, and to Sakkala, and there either another minibus for the same half a pound, or on foot to Sharaton, about 1 km, it’s very interesting and useful to walk (shake morning buns).
Summarize. Hotel Geisum is a good place for an economical holiday, for people without pretensions and exorbitantly high demands. And so, perhaps 5 stars for completely different prices. The owner of the hotel is always there, he welcomes guests, visits the kitchen, so this is also an indicator of the quality of service and the rating of the hotel. Yes, I completely forgot. There is animation. Wonderful Jamaica will hold exercises, a belly dance course and generally amuse the people.
