We went to this hotel very unexpectedly, for a period of only 3 nights and 4 days. We returned yesterday. They were going to go two weeks earlier to another hotel, the trip fell through, the mood was gone. And sharply and very much falling prices, after our failed trip, added fuel to the fire. As a result, when I saw an offer for 3 nights for 120 dollars, we decided to go immediately. On Saturday I got infa, and at 11 am on Monday, we were at the hotel.
The fact that the hotel is located in the center of Hurghada has already been said. For me, this was not a priority, but for my girlfriend, this is a big +. The hotel is small but overall clean and tidy. * Clean, but poor *, if in a nutshell. The food is ordinary, maybe we just didn’t have time for something exclusive in our 4 days. Fish, such as pangasius, chicken, not fillet, but everything in a row, stewed. Sometimes beef. Standard set of vegetables. Desserts are mostly biscuits decorated with cream. Breakfast is also standard, everything is fine. I liked breakfast the most.
Contingent: many Belarusians, Ukrainians, Eastern Europe, but there were also tourists from Denmark, England, Germany. About 70-80% are pensioners. There were few young people. Moreover, the hotel had its own disco, which is now not in all hotels in Egypt, but at the same time, young people evaporated somewhere in the evening and the disco was almost empty, unfortunately. In the evenings, children's shows and shows for adults.

There are 2 points that surprised me very much: 1. paid mini-bar, completely! even water! Also water is paid if you take it in bottles at the bar. You can take water in coolers free of charge. in your own container. 2. There were no wind barriers on the beach. And I meet the first and second in Egypt for the first time.
The beach is sand, the entrance to the sea too. The sunbeds are very heavy, and the mattresses are sooooo thick. This is not a drawback, I just haven’t seen such ones either. You lie like on a full-fledged sofa : ))
The coolest thing was the weather. It turns out that the trip was not with 2 amazing moments, but all of them. I didn’t encounter such gorgeous weather in Egypt during my 7-8 trips in winter. I call it *Turkey in the summer, except for the period from 12 to 16-00* In the evening I went in a T-shirt, this has never happened. It was possible to sunbathe until almost 17-00. Warm water. The weather overshadowed all the not-so-comfortable nuances. And the absence of barriers from the wind did not create problems at all, there was simply NO wind !! ! I don’t know, maybe there is such a place there. That there is no wind and these barriers are not there for this very reason.
As a result: if I went for a week or more, I would think that I made a mistake with the choice of the hotel. It's boring and I would like something tastier in the restaurant. But given the money spent, which included flights, accommodation, food and the main sun, and not this hated winter, the trip turned out to be gorgeous! If we take the price-quality ratio, then in our case, there is definitely a shift towards quality. For myself, I concluded that hotels in the city are not mine. If you look out the window (not any) from the restaurant, you see the city street. It made me feel like I was in my city and it was time to go to work. But many people love city hotels. Moreover, the combination of a city hotel + 1st line is also rare.
We went to the fish market and a fish restaurant, you can walk for 25 minutes. But this does not apply to the hotel.
If someone wants to be close to shops, etc. , sand on the beach and does not count on seafood in his restaurant, this is an ideal choice.
