What room amenities to expect at Hurghada all-inclusive hotels (minibar refills, iron, wifi) and how do they work?
Based on 1 discussion with 8 participants · Last activity: 7 days ago
TL;DR
The minibar is usually restocked once on the second day of your stay, but leaving a tip for the housekeeper (a dollar or a chocolate bar) can get it refilled more often. In-room irons aren't always provided for free, so it's safer to bring your own. Hotel wifi works but signal can be weak, so activating an eSIM in advance is a good backup.

Based on other guests' experience, leaving the housekeeper a dollar and a chocolate bar gets the minibar fully restocked — including beer — and more than once during the stay.

Standard practice is that the minibar gets restocked once, on the second day after check-in; tipping the cleaner might get it refilled again, but it's not guaranteed.
