TL;DR
Many larger hotels in Hurghada have an ATM on-site, but you should confirm at reception. If there isn’t one, hotel staff or guest groups can usually tell you where the nearest cash machine is.
For UnionPay withdrawals, look for the payment-system sticker on the ATM. A hotel guest reports that their on-site machine accepts UnionPay cards and is available for cash withdrawals around the clock.
Tip: it's better to withdraw cash at the hotel's own ATM rather than elsewhere — if the machine jams your card or cash, it's easier to resolve the issue on site with staff help. If withdrawing at the airport, go to a bank branch there instead of an ATM.
Besides the ATM at the hotel itself, you can withdraw cash at the neighboring The V hotel or go past the Serenity hotel and turn right, where there is another ATM.
If you are staying at a large resort, check whether there is an ATM inside the hotel grounds first — bigger Hurghada hotels often have one.
The quickest option is to ask reception: staff usually know whether there is an ATM in the hotel building or where the nearest cash machine is.
If you can’t find an ATM in the hotel itself, ask in the hotel guest group — other travelers often know the nearest working place to withdraw cash.
