What the community said
A recent report mentions repeated small thefts: travelers had two Alyonka chocolate bars disappear from a fridge on separate occasions. Practical takeaway: if you’re in Hurghada, label food in shared fridges and don’t leave anything valuable or hard to replace there.

The traveler’s impression is that the current place in Hurghada feels relatively calm, yet food still went missing from a fridge. This points more to opportunistic petty theft from shared-access areas than to major theft from inside private rooms.

Hurghada was compared favorably with Savoy, which another participant described as having noticeably worse behavior issues. Even so, the practical advice for Hurghada is standard: don’t store snacks, alcohol, or shopping in shared kitchens, fridges, or staff-access areas.
