Location is 15-20 minutes walk from the center of old Hurghada.
The hotel as a whole causes only positive emotions.
The downside, in general, is paid Internet, the cost of which is $ 90 per week. Thanks to Olga, a Russian girl working at the reception - she agreed on a certain discount, the significance of which is insignificant, but the fact itself pleased. The girls at the reception are very responsive and soft in communication.
The hotel staff as a whole is no different from the staff of other hotels. Yes, and the people of the whole earth are generally the same : )
The heated pool did not cause any complaints. We swam at night, it was warm, the staff cordially looked through our fingers, wet clothes had to be thrown out because of the reagents that caused white spots on it. The reagents are added at night to the pool and decompose into safe compounds by morning.

The sauna of the hotel left much to be desired, because one could see absolute indifference to the temperature in the Finnish sauna, which honestly works at full capacity (about 6 kW per 6m2 (but due to a loose door and scurrying vacationers, it will be possible to sweat after 20-25 minutes of stay)) and the content of menthol in wet steam room which or not, or cuts the eyes.
Food in general can satisfy the taste of a gourmet, but due to the rarely found stones in mixed products, I, unfortunately, broke my tooth, apparently due to caries. A healthy tooth and a stone are not a hindrance : ) Stones in food were constantly encountered. mixed dishes, on this my troubles stopped.
The rooms were always cleaned and of high quality. Some valuables were missing from the room, but this has nothing to do with cleaning the room.
There are not enough sun loungers at the pool for everyone, for that there is an excess of the sea. This is a normal practice, apparently for all hotels.
The hotel's sandy beach is artificial. In the water there are packages and other debris from ships, the pier of which is located on the left behind the stone pier. On the right of the beach there is a drain from the hotel located on the right. Drain water is apparently from the pool.
At night, the hotel turns on the irrigation system, which apparently consists of sewage water, as evidenced by the pungent smell from the rare puddles remaining in the morning.
I can't characterize the animation of the hotel, but in my opinion everything is left to chance. Five or six people are trying to earn their wages in all known ways, without any general organization except for eating.
In general, I am satisfied with the hotel. During my stay, unfortunately, I recovered by 3 kg. Satellite TV and the Internet were present almost constantly.
I’ll note the guide of the Intourist company. We didn’t buy excursions from him, apparently in connection with which we were sent home 10 hours earlier and to another airport, or maybe he was just worried about us, and sent us out as soon as possible until possible disturbances began. When trying to get through, he disconnected the phone (or the battery ran out (and did not call back)) but in general, in the end, this gave us a lot of trouble.

This is my 10th (anniversary) vacation in Hurghada, and the first review of the hotel. I would be too lazy to write, but the responsiveness of Russian girls from the hotel reception obliges : )
I didn't mention a lot of positive facts that are mentioned in the description of the hotel. They are all there.
The construction site located to the left of the hotel does not interfere at all, and the airport, located 10 minutes away, is nothing compared to the staff pushing a cart with a jammed wheel under your number : )
