I also decided to leave my impression.
To begin with, this was my first trip to a foreign country, so it’s somehow not easy to compare. I went almost a year ago ~ 09.10. 10-16.10. 10. , so the emotions and first impressions got used. I'll start from the very beginning.
The city of Hurghada itself is not very big, but it is long like Volgograd. The journey from the airport to the Desert Inn Hotel did not take much time at all, literally the 2nd stop along the bus. The hotel is nothing out of the ordinary. Friendly staff, almost everyone speaks Russian, spacious lobby. Nothing special.
Number.
Since we arrived around 15:00 local time, we immediately settled in. We got a gloomy, cramped room, without a balcony, but at the same time on the sunny side. Generally not ice. I went up to the Arab receptionist, who speaks good Russian, and gave him 10 bucks. All problem solved! The 2nd room turned out to be much more attractive: Spacious, bright, with a balcony overlooking the hotel courtyard. Conder worked like clockwork, without straining and cooled down very quickly. The TV was on, but they showed 2-3 Russian channels, but only the blind can watch them, or who are tired of their eyes, but in general we didn’t remember about the telly) The shower was unpleasantly “pleased” with a squeal! There is no warm water in the hotel at all, and it is heated only by a spiral pipe on the roof from the sun. Therefore, in the morning, an invigorating and refreshing cold shower, and even a warm one either in the afternoon or in the evening; ) The tip porter asked for 15 bucks (! ), Naturally, it was a bit too much on his snout, as a result, I bargained here up to 5 bucks. In general, you need to bargain everything and everything and everywhere !! ! This is such a national sport, sometimes you can buy a thing for 10% of the cost. I stepped aside for a bit. The hotel is located on the second line of the coast opposite El Samaka, which is often heard in the jargon of Russian tourists "Dog")) The owner is one of these two hotels, so the dining room is located in the Dog.
Apparently, from the filing with the receptionist, the number turned out to be really extremely successful. 3 days after our arrival, a young couple arrived from Lviv. They got a room completely unsuitable for living: In the room, the wall next to the bed was completely damp, to the point that the plaster became sour cream. There was even mold! They argued with the hotel management, and yet they got their way.
They clean the room every day, in general it is very clean, but still I would advise you to hide expensive things and cabbage, just in case, otherwise it will be completely clean; ) Moreover, if there is a choice of a room, try to have thick curtains on the windows. At 05-00 - 06-00 you will understand)))
Beach.
Passing through the Dog and funny motel houses you get to the beach. Beach on C grade. On the right is the bay "Grandfather with his grandson", and on the right is the sea itself. The beach is clean, the water is crystal. I am silent about the inhabitants of the sea, this must be seen. There are sunbeds, supposedly paid with mattresses, but no one ever asked us to pay for them. But there is a problem with a towel, we sought towels for 3 days, an Arab on the beach at the distribution of towels said that they were in the wash. Therefore, in the morning you go to the beach, immediately to the Arab. There are places with shade, but they are filled first.
Let's go back to the hotel.
Dining room.
At first glance it seemed the menu is amazing, which is not there! But in fact, to eat the menu becomes lean to tears. Only the sweet was somehow varied. In the last days of rest, I caught myself thinking where would I eat another? Pall!! ! Luckily there was a small restaurant nearby. So we took a huge lobster for 10 bucks. Tasty! But to say that satiety, I would not say.
In general, the most economy class in its glory, for students, whom I treated last year, that's it! Bad experiences fade into the background. If you want to go to Egypt, do not hesitate, go, there will be no problems with the language. I met only one Arab who does not understand Russian and English. In general, he poured out his soul))) Good luck to everyone!
