    Good location, It was easy to reach every place we wanted to see in Hurghada. Eating was just acceptable. Beach is amazing and much better than other very expensive hotels. We had some issues but Mr.Tayeb from the front desk, was a professional receptionist, he helped us to handle all and finish our holiday on a comfortable way.

    The not so good: TV not working; No water in room on arrival (sorted immediately when reported); Parts of hotel appear like a building site (eg piles of electrical conduit/pipes lying around etc); Swimming pool empty (but sister hotel's only a few minutes away with much better facilities). Bar closed by 11pm; Booked all inclusive through booking.com only to find it didn't include alcoholic drinks on arrival (could be upgraded for additional $5/day); Generally tired decor and 2 of 4 lifts not working. Would I stay again? Yes, I enjoyed it. A great end to a few weeks.exploring Egypt.

    Have recently stayed at sister hotel l, Royal Star Hurghada so had a good idea what to expect during my one night stay. The good points: Exceptional staff, especially reception; Huge room; High standards of hygiene; Use of sister hotel (Empire Beach Resort); The best hotel bed and linen I've had the pleasure to sleep in.

    I read about this before, then witnessed it in the restaurant; there is a "secret agent" in dark glasses following each milliliter of Coca-Cola to check if the person drinking has "all-inclusive" or not. It feels funny but yet silly, making people feel uncomfortable and causing problems and bad reviews that make the hotel lose thousands, just to save a few hundred! The hotel was much better 10 years ago, everything in the rooms looked old and about to collapse. Strong maintenance is needed. Food was also better before; now it isn't as tasty, as well as not having as much variety as it used to have. Facilities in the rooms were very minimal; the fridge was empty (no minibar), and there was no hair dryer in the bathroom. Water was difficult to control in the shower, and it can easily run to the room floor.

    several swimming pools some nice shows at night The beach is clean and suitable for swimming. The room is spacious.

    DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL! hello everyone, i usually never write reviews of any kind but i have to share this horrible experience with you. i hope you dont make the same mistake as we did and book this hotel. when we first got into the hotel the staff was not friendly at all and we didnt get any information about what is included in our package, when we can eat and how anything works. thats when we also got the wifi password. we knew that there was not going to be wifi in the rooms but only in the lobby. unfortunately even in the lobby it didnt work at all. even loading a simple website would take 5 minutes, if it worked. when we got into the room we immediately had to take 3 long hairs out of our bed. the bed was quite comfy but the bathroom was the next problem. the shower is very small and looked disgusting, to be honest. when we showered, at some point the cold water just turned off in the entire bathroom, so you couldnt even wash your hands for multiple minutes. the food was available at reasonable times but it was highly repetetive, there werent many options and it wasnt delicious. lunch and dinner are exactly the same and also not different from day to day. we suspect that the not eaten food from lunch gets recycled for dinner. in addition the overall standard for hygiene isnt high. some forks seemed dirty and the trays where they displayed the desserts had some rests from the previous rounds of cake (as shown in the pictures). when we wanted to play pool, we were told that it costs 3 dollars. only a few days later another staff member told us that it actually would have been included in our package. this seems like the first staff member tried to rip us off. we booked the hotel because of the swimming pool access. when we arrived the pool was green and there were signs that said the cleaning was in progress. we had been told that the pool would have been accessable the day after 3 days in a row. as you might already think, that didnt happen…

    Flies in restaurant, on the buffet food and all around the dishes. No air conditioning in restaurant or lobby. Room towels were delivered on the third day after multiple arguments Toilet tissues were delivered after we requested One room trash bin was delivered on the third day after multiple requests and we had to use it for the room and the toilet. No shower curtain No hot water in room Pool towels were not available most of the time, we could only get 2 even though we had 4 towel cards. Staff are two categories either very polite or extremely rude. Rude staff were shouting and yelling at guests. Food is low quality and limited variety. No snacks between meals, only beverage. Coffee is extremely bad. No batteries for the TV remote, we requested and didn't receive.

    Hurghada is extremely beautiful, if it wasn't for the attractions of the city the vacation would have been a disaster. The aquapark at the pool is ok for young children

    This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I am surprised how it is 3 stars hotel. Every thing they mentioned in their description is just a lie. The lobby is warm crowded ,dirty and they mentioned free wifi , there is no active connection at all in the lobby and when I asked they told the data package has ended and needs renewal . The restaurant is another major problem, I booked all inclusive so I have the chance to try all meals. Most of times no forks, knives or spoons unless you ask specifically for this , I had to complain to one of the manager to get it. Despite it is Buffet there is somebody on each dish to make sure you do not take extra than what they want you to , I am surprised why this the food is already tasteless and not fresh. The rooms are ok but no kettles in the room , the electricity and water was off for hours every day and I needed to go to reception to ask them to fix it . Imagine in this hot weather with temp 43c I am sitting in the hotel with no AC. We tried the beach which is shared with Empire Beach Hotel and it was very crowded and we barely found place to sit. Overall , I would not recommend this hotel to anybody at all.

    There was nothing in this hotel which I liked. It was awful experience.
