    No breakfast for the price, witch I think could be a nice think to include . Roof top can be cleaner and more organised, when I was there 02/02/2023 it look like a bit messy.

    The team was nice and really helpful ! Always here for your question. They will offer you tea of course !

    The way they treated their little Tiberian Special. It was hot, chained to a poll. It needs a longer leash, better food, toys and some love. This place would be a gem if you cleaned the roof up. Got rid of the rubbish.

    Greeted by Mohamad, very accommodating and a pleasant young man, who went out of his way to help me.

    We arrived late at night and it was one guys shift who seems to have no clue of anything. He was not able to give us the wifi password, wanted to check our reservation with the e-mail we recieved and he did not tell us when breakfast would be.

    The bed and the blanket were super comfortable and cozy. The room was big with own bathroom. We could use a kitchen in the house next door and next to us we could use free water and an electric kettle. The rooftop was quite nice and sunny. A big supermarket is nearby.

    The room wasn't clean, the trash basket is still full of trash. And the AC is fake AC, it's just a water fan. The temperature in the room is hot and the water is also naturally super hot. At this price, we feel it's not worth it. The toilet inside the room is broken, we can barely flush the water. In total it was not a pleasant stay.

    I had a great stay at Sea Waves Hostel. The owner, Hany, is incredibly friendly and always ready to help with anything you need. He goes out of his way to make sure guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. Hany also shares great tips and recommendations for things to do in the area, making it easy to discover the best of Hurghada. I highly recommend this hostel if you’re looking for a welcoming and affordable place to stay!

    A good hostel with economic price, a pleasant and particular atmosphere and unique facilities, if you're looking to experience local traditions from a local perspective. The owner, Hany, and Haddra are very polite and trustworthy and will help you to find comfortably inmersed in the local way of life. Also, to find local transport, restaurants, tours, dive, snorkeling trips at the best price.

    To start with, Reception, unqualified, can't take decisions. Room extreme waste. I left the room and didn't stay the night, paid it, no big deal, but waste.

    In short, room without AC, dirt covering everything, it is not a check out room that needs cleaning, not at all, it is a dirty room, Reception, housekeeping and the entire place should not be on booking.com from the start, I wonder how this place was rated for any human being.

    A few days later they asked me to change the room and the blanket in the new room smelled like urine. Someone peed on the blanket on purpose and they didn't change the blanket at all. The toilet has been leaking and not working properly. Wi-Fi is limited and they will be annoyed to see you surfing the Internet, especially if you watch a video and must be surfing the Internet in your room! they spy u!

    On the first night, the WiFi didn't work (they were trying to save money), so I went next door use WIFI and was given a hard time sitting in the aisle. Three days later, a big cockroach appeared and I tried to kill it. The cockroach was too big and opened its wings to challenge me and then hid. Blame me for using too much WiFi. How can I use 600GB in 6 days by myself?Very disappointed,. The WIFI is not working because of you, not the customer。

    There is a hot kettle in the living room

    I arrived before 10 in the morning and I already could check-in. The guy at the reception was very very friendly and helpfull. My room was okay, although I only booked the room to have a place for my luggage and have a shower and short rest before my nightflight, the beds were very comfortable. It is a nice place to stay, especially for the price I paid, less then 5 dollar for a single room. Location is also perfect, 2 minutes walking from the main road and beach.
