Fully agree with the previous review. You can't imagine a more boring hotel. The quality of service is good, but also had its jambs. The gap between the frame and the window was huge and the wind was blowing through the room. Twice contacted the reception to calm the wind in the room and no response from the front manager. Only when they plugged the hole with a towel, a smart cleaner pulled it out of the window and a master felt-tip pen came to us and tried to return the window to its place, for some reason trying to unscrew the magnets between the frame and the window. The spectacle was comical and until I explained to him that you need to hit the iron parts that hold the window, then it will settle, he could not figure it out. A friend who bought an apartment in Hurghada told me that he invited an Epiptian to drive in a nail in order to hang a picture. When I entered the room, I saw that half the wall was gone. I laughed. He said, well, this is understandable, they are used to only dripping in the ground. But, in my experience, I was convinced that he was right. A friend asked for a thread with a needle at the reception and they promised to bring her to the room in half an hour. She received a thread with a needle without any problems, when the next day she came up with the same request. In general, they pretend to understand English, only now they completely ignore the requests of the Russians. The Germans are placed in a better building, ours are worse and further away. In order to avoid apparently incidents. Law-abiding Germans shy away when you approach them to ask something. Their eyes widen and they shake as if Russian dinosaurs are approaching them. In Hurghada, there was a case when drunk Russians drove the Germans into the pool on the day of victory, and now they are trying to repeat this feat every year in other hotels in Hurghada. The rooms in the Russian building are connected to the next room by doors and the audibility is such that you can hear every sneeze. Magicians work at the reception. I advise you to count aloud the cards you hand over when you leave, otherwise you will end up with one less and pay money. Sleight of hand and no fraud, just leave the money at the check-out for the card at the reception. There are scammers operating near the hotel who will jump around you and there is no mobile phone. In general, a lot of impressions. If you want to relax with "dolce soldiers" with lean muzzles and magicians. That way!!! !
