Which Hurghada all-inclusive hotels have good coffee (real coffee machine, coffee maker in room)?

From messages by 3 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: 11 days ago

TL;DR

Most Hurghada all-inclusive hotels serve weak instant or powdered coffee from machines, disappointing for real coffee lovers. If coffee quality matters, look for a room in a separate building with an in-room coffee maker (e.g. the Diamond block).

What the community said

At Maritim, bean coffee is served from behind the restaurant counter, so ask the bartender. One report still found it mediocre, with standard instant coffee from machines at neighboring hotels tasting better.

The lobby has two coffee machines, one for powdered coffee and one for bean coffee; the main restaurant has the same machines.

There's a coffee shop near reception: instant coffee is poured for free without a wristband, while brewed coffee can be bought for about $1-2.

At breakfast in the 2nd-floor restaurant coffee is free, but you need to specifically ask for fresh brewed coffee; on the left side of the entrance they make bean/ground coffee — also need to request it separately, otherwise you'll get machine coffee by default.

In some hotels, evening tea/coffee bags with hot water are brought to the bar only once with no refills — guests describe this service level as outdated.

The pavilion near the common beach has good bean coffee and a lever (portafilter) coffee machine, free of charge (opens around 8am). No info on coffee at the club beach.

In the dining hall there's a coffee machine with decent coffee. At the bars, coffee is brewed on a lever (portafilter) machine and milk is whipped into a thick, good foam.

A separate building called Diamond (to the right of the main building, only 23 rooms) has an in-room coffee maker — a good option if morning coffee quality matters to you.

There's a coffee machine at the 2nd-floor bar and at the beach bar, but the coffee quality is mediocre. No info on the pool bar. Serious coffee drinkers likely won't be satisfied.

At Cleopatra hotel, coffee is poured from a large vat — it's watery, similar to a cheap coffee drink, without even a coffee smell.

At Sphinx hotel, the coffee machine uses powdered/instant coffee — not great for coffee connoisseurs either.

Some cafés use reverse-osmosis filtered water to prepare coffee and tea, which affects the taste of the drinks.
