Hotel | "Hilton Hurghada Resort"

Location:
This hotel is located in the new hotel area, a bit outside Hurhgada City.  You can easily get there by local transportation or by taxi. The Hotel also has its own free shuttle going three times a day to the city. The bus has limited seats, so you must sign-up on the list for it in the reception the morning you want to go.

Hotel The staff were really friendly and helpful, doing the best all the time trying to make your stay good.

I had a regular room booked, but as a HH Diamond, they gave me a suite, with views over the red sea. The room had a balcony, but it was too hot to use. They clean it perfectly every day.

Breakfast was great, with loads of brads, buns, and other pastry the Egyptian are known for; of course some Western food missing since this is an Arab country, such as bacon etc.

At the hotel you can enjoy onsite diving centre, various trips, activities for adults and for children, tennis, squash, fitness, etc.

The hotel also has a private beach, and three pools. You can get new towels for the beach every day too.

There are four restaurants, I liked the Lagoona; I had great food.

If you do not need to go during high season, this hotel is really cheap too.  I think that today’s lowest rate for a normal room was USD30.


I recommend this hotel, I had no problems, and this was just a great trip.
