I do not recommend! For a budget holiday, it may be suitable, but for the same money it is better to find something else.

We rested in March 2010. In general, we are satisfied with the rest, but I think it is worth providing information to tourists that may be useful to someone.
In appearance and location (first line), the hotel is very good for a triple. And we got beautiful views of the hotel in the pictures.
But if, for example, a handsome person is unkemptly dressed and dirty, will he make a good impression? By this attitude towards the hotel, one can judge its owners. More specifically, this is the lack of repair in the rooms and old plumbing. Hence, such things as dirt, fungus on the curtain in the shower, in the corners, joints. Of course, they clean, but if you can’t clean this dirt by washing the floor, you need repair and replacement of plumbing. When it's so muddy, you can't relax completely. Didn't you come here to relax?

We paid money for a good room, but until he was free we had to live a day in a not very good one. I'm sure there are much worse in this hotel. When we moved to a more or less clean room in the main building, we went to the store to buy cleaning products and my wife washed the whole room herself, then only she said that she was able to relax. Is it funny to come to the hotel and wash the room yourself?
Of course, they have decent rooms - those by the pool closer to the sea. But there are fewer of them, and where is your guarantee that even for money you will get into them? They can get really busy. Excellent reviews probably left those who got into these rooms.
When we chose a hotel and read the reviews, we thought that the bad reviews about the dirt and the pigsty were written by the capital's fifas, but we are not spoiled and it will suit us.
For objectivity, now about the pluses - this is the first line, the territory is not large, but somehow they are trying to equip it - greenery, beautiful, cultural.
Personnel - also can not name comments, calm, polite.
Another plus is food. Although I was in the top five and four in Egypt, but in my opinion, it’s pretty decent for a top three.
But here, too, a remark from a series of cleanliness - for example, there is a clean towel next to the bread - pressing the bread with a towel so as not to touch it with your hand, you cut it. And then such a picture: a local chef approaches the bread, and without noticing the clean towel lying nearby, he cuts all the bread. Of course, he takes it with his own hand, swarthy either from the color of the skin, or from the frequency of washing. Maybe, of course, he came from some village and they consider it normal, but he went to work in a hotel and for whom is the towel supposed?
Another example, if you drink tea and coffee from white porcelain cups and wash them every time with just water, then over time a dark coating will appear on them. But if you wash them not just with water, but with a hard sponge, then it is easily washed off. They didn't do the second.

Do not think that I am trying to find fault with everything. Simply, firstly, I want to provide people with more information so that you get more positive things for your money. After all, I myself read your reviews before choosing a hotel. Secondly, so that the owners of the hotel, responding to changes in demand, make our stay better and more comfortable.
About the lack of animation and a large number of locals in the hotel have already written, I will not repeat myself.
Beach - there is an entry into the sea from the shore - there is sand. So it’s suitable for families with children, if other moments suit you. There is an entry from the stone pier.
The sea is the main thing for me and what I came here for. There are very few corals near the hotel, they are not lush and mostly at depth. But I did not expect much from Hurghada in this regard. But the fish are coming. In principle, you can swim with a mask. I was not limited to the area near the hotel and sailed away with a mask.
If you sail far to the left past the Triton Empire pier, past another pier, there will be vast shallow water, which looks very beautiful from the main body of the hotel. The bright turquoise color of the sea is there. I sometimes sailed there with a mask. It can't be compared with Sharm, but you can see something. I'll post the photos I took there and mark them as "Sand Beach (left)". There he caught a star-shaped aratron, he pouted and looked impressive, especially his 4 teeth. The whole beach was very interested when he sailed with him. They took a picture of him and released him. There will be a photo too. To the right of the hotel you can also swim, but it’s not very picturesque underwater - there are a lot of dead corals, although there are enough fish there. I will designate the photos taken there as “Sand Beach (on the right)”. Photos taken directly with the hotel will simply be called “Sand Beach”. On the photos taken on sea excursions, I will add a postscript - “excursion”.
Maybe the information will be useful to someone, because for me before the trip the question was very important: “What can you see under water near the hotel? »

P. S. When we were leaving, the escort guide on the bus asked: did you like it? do you still want to come back? Then there were many affirmative exclamations. And a few negative and dissatisfied lowings, we turned to them and recognized the people who were being picked up from our hotel. Apparently not only we did not experience great enthusiasm for Sand Beach.
In general, my conclusion about the hotel, if the rooms are renovated, changing the plumbing will be quite a decent three rubles. In the meantime, think maybe for the same money it is worth finding, though not the first line, but a more decent and well-groomed hotel.
Have a nice holiday everyone!
