TL;DR
For a Hurghada hotel with snorkeling, Siva Grand is one option mentioned for fish near the hotel and a convenient location. Bring a mask, but set expectations: local reefs may be less impressive than those in Sharm El Sheikh.
Siva Grand was suggested as a Hurghada option with a convenient location, fish to see in the water, and generally decent food. It is not positioned as a luxury hotel, so checking recent video reviews before booking is advisable.
Bringing a snorkeling mask can be worthwhile: travelers reported seeing fish, rays, moray eels, and turtles in the water by their hotel. What you see will depend on the specific property and condition of its reef.
Do not assume every Hurghada pier offers a reef comparable to Sharm El Sheikh. When choosing a hotel, specifically check for a house reef, pier access, and recent guest photos of marine life.
For a reef-focused stay, set a budget first and compare several suitable hotels through guest reviews and photos. It is best to look for recent discussions dedicated to each individual hotel.
