Which building or block to choose in a Hurghada hotel for a quieter stay?

TL;DR

Building 5 is noisy due to restaurant exhausts and staff traffic; Building 6 is quieter, especially rooms near the main pool. Rooms facing the pontoon are calm until midday.

What the community said

Ask for an upgrade at check-in: one recent report says that for US$20, a ground-floor room overlooking the construction site was changed to a better room.

For a quieter stay, avoid rooms located right next to the construction area, as building noise can be more disruptive than the usual activity around the pools.

Rooms by the construction site

Building 6 has a pleasant inner courtyard, but request a room closer to the main pool for a quieter experience.

Building 6 — near main pool

Building 5 is attached to the restaurant with its entrance outside the main hotel grounds — expect noise from kitchen exhausts, food smells, and early morning staff activity.

Building 5 — noisy, next to restaurant

Rooms facing the pontoon are relatively quiet until midday. Other standard rooms overlook the pool or the passage between the restaurant and pool, which tends to be noisier.

Pontoon-facing rooms — quiet until noon
