What to know about hotel rooms in Hurghada before check-in (outlets, amenities, how to request a better room)?

In October 2026 a guest wrote that reception knows which rooms have been renovated and generally does not hide it. In this guest's observation, rooms in buildings 1, 2 and 5 are completely new, while buildings 3, 4 and 6 are about half renovated. You can tell by the doors: renovated rooms have grey doors, older rooms in buildings 3 and 4 have yellowish ones, and in building 6 they are dark beech. The unrenovated rooms seemed acceptable too.

In August 2026 a guest who stayed in building 5 suggested that, ideally, you ask for the main building: in her view it has the most convenient location, although she did not stay there herself. The other buildings are also well placed, except building 6. In her impression, building 6 has no sea views and no balconies, and most guests who did not pay for a sea view are put there.

About building 5, the same guest said she stayed on the second floor and everything was fine, apart from a slightly noisy air conditioner. Walking up from the sea to the building means about 140 steps with no lift, but it is easier to go via the lift and the seventh floor. She mentioned that she gave 20 dollars; from the ground floor, she said, the sea may not be visible everywhere.

Building 1 is praised by guests who wrote in October 2026 that they had stayed there five times: it opens straight onto the pool and bar, and the rooms are all alike. The afternoon sun hits that side, but a dark curtain behind the sheer one helps. There are no stairs to deal with — you can walk to the sea along a path or take the tuk-tuk.

Rooms vary. In October 2026 a guest wrote that some rooms are like box rooms, with space for one small bed and a 50 by 50 cm shower tray. Her advice: arrive, look at the room and try to switch if you do not like it. In late August another guest described room 432 as "gloomy but not a nightmare" and advised against the ground floor in the 400s.

Slippers aren't always in the room by default, but you can usually request them at reception.

In August 2026 a guest wrote that there is no razor or shaving gel in the room at check-in, but both are brought if you ask. As far as this guest remembered, there was no hair conditioner. Another guest noted in August that a standard room has everything you need and everything works.
