How much worse are 2* hotels in Hurghada than the private sector in Crimea and Abkhazia?
We are 2 adults, in principle, we are not used to Hilton 5 *. How can 2 * surprise us? Share your impression. Could it be more profitable to spend the difference of money on excursions, yachting, taxi rides to good beaches and food in cafes? Because reviews of 4 and 5 * are terrible. Or is it still not worth taking such a hotel? Thank you!

No, it's not worth it. Here, intuition does not fail you :) If you want to save money, take at least El Samaka Comfort - although it’s a C grade, but there is order there. In 2-3 ** hotels in Egypt, in the mornings there may not be a buffet at all with a minimum of choice, but ordinary portions - there are no alternatives at all. Dirt and unsanitary conditions can be the norm. Don't take risks.

for 2* you won't save much, i.e. save, but for everything that you described, this money is definitely not enough. It's not that much of a difference. And in terms of quality, the difference will be very big. It's in Tai you can go to any hotel, but Egypt is completely different. People go to Egypt for service, and if you don’t get it there, then why go there at all? Unless you only attend excursions, then you can. And there are complaints about 4 * because many, for example, do not have enough seeds or borscht. Everyone has a different concept of service and a different level of stardom.

there are a lot of last-minute tours to 4 * and 5 * hotels in Hurghada. At this time, they are worth the price of kopeck piece!!! Take your time! Let your travel agent pick up a good SPECIAL OFFER for you.
Good prices are often in ALI BABU-ALADDIN-JASMINE, much better than a dubious kopeck piece ...
Write how much and for how many days you expect to have a decent rest and experts will advise you on hotels. We want you to love EGYPT

I did not rest in deuces, but my friend with an adult granddaughter was noted there. The stories that her granddaughters coincided, there was only one conclusion - there was no need to go there.
As a rule, deuces are booked by those who plan to spend all the time on excursions, or those who, upon arrival, will immediately live in another place.
I agree that everyone has their own concept of service with all the ensuing consequences.
Have a good rest!

I also think that 2 * + Egypt = horror)) What you save on the hotel, you will have to spend on the spot for food and the rest.
for example, the hotel will be located 300 m from the sea, BUT its private beach is 3 km away and the journey is paid =)) there are all sorts of surprises

there may not be free drinks in kopeck pieces, but in a hotel they will be very expensive and security will not allow food bought in supermarkets to be brought into the hotel ... - again, a waste-loss of money ...
But there was one kopeck piece in HURGHADA, which had very good reviews (I can’t find this question with a discussion. Did they ask if the beach was paid?)

In order not to overpay, choose a tour before the MAY HOLIDAYS or immediately after them. Everything will be exorbitant for May

the lion's share of the cost of the tour is the flight
therefore, I agree with Amir - the savings will not be so significant
although if you are going to visit a lot of excursions
and almost not in the hotel
then I would offer you a slightly different economy:
take at least a 3 * hotel (or even better 4 * or 5 *)
but don't pay all inclusive
and systems "HB" or "BB"
(it will be enough, because you will be absent from the hotel most of the time anyway)

Was in the top three (by local standards, this is a kopeck piece, although the first coastal one, has its own beach) - I can’t say anything bad, in Egypt, how lucky - and 5 and 2 can be the same. I don’t agree that they go to Egypt “for service” - it’s there during the day with fire. Even a kopeck piece is different from Crimea. go and don't bother. the sea and the sun are the same everywhere))))))

Dear hastia, I won’t say anything about the sun, but the SEA is different everywhere, they just say they go to Egypt not for service, but for the SEA !!!! Was on Black, Mediterranean, and 3 times on RED. I was fascinated by it and fell in love with it from the first trip, I don’t want to go to any other sea anymore !!!! I don’t agree about the sameness of 2 and 5 (I was in hotels of different stars). Turn 3 from 4 are already different. And you need to choose depending on which you are pursuing goals, if you go on excursions, you can take 3 for half board, but do not forget it is hot there and you want to drink all the time, a lot of money is spent on it. The ideal option is to take 4 with all inclusive, but burning. In February, we were in Albatross Jung Aqua-Park 4 *, and so there they even give bottled water in any restaurant and bar for free and how much you ask, i.e. You don't even have to buy water for the tour. I don’t write about other drinks at all. I find it difficult even to name the number in the assortment for so many different things. Have a good rest.

I agree with AdelinaR, it's better to take not even 3 *, but 4 *, and of course it's better "all inclusive", not even because of food, but because of drinking. We were also in March in the Jungle Aqua Park 4 *, there are no problems with this. I am sure that if you go to 2 *, you will end up spending more on the service, well, no less for sure. What's the point of taking risks? In a good hotel, in general, you can take money only for excursions, and that’s all.

The Red Sea cannot be compared with any, it is the best for those who love coral fish and corals themselves, and the color of the sea at noon!
And about the star rating of hotels, I have my own opinion - how lucky. We were lucky with 3 *, and you read more reviews, from them choose the main thing according to your requirements.
For many years I rested in the Crimea, I was in many places - in Egypt it is BETTER if you are not spoiled with service, and the main purpose of the trip is the sea, excursions (history).

Of course, 2* is a big risk. but if you want to save money, you can choose inexpensive 3 * +. But it all depends on why you go. We were in Wawes 3 * and everything suited us, and the room (although the furniture is old, it doesn’t break, the air conditioners work, the food is normal and the beach is small, but very clean and with coral). But if you are used to comfort - then in Egypt it is not lower than 4 * ...
