Hotels in Hurghada, Egypt – Book at Best Prices 2026

"The hotel is located in Makadi Bay, about 30 kilometers from Hurghada city center. Prima Life in Makadi Bay seems to be one of the hotels with the highest occupancy, almost always fully booked. During our two-day stay, we were the only four Chinese guests; everyone else was European or American. The hotel is quite large and has its own beach where you can swim and snorkel. The room was very clean, and the bed sheets weren't pilling, but the facilities are a bit old. The bathroom drain was very slow and would get clogged during peak water usage in the evening, but showering outside of peak hours was fine. The hotel has four restaurants, but only the main restaurant was open every day. The food selection was rich and tasty; the roasted camel meat was particularly delicious. The beach bar also served freshly baked pizza from a wood-fired oven every afternoon and offered daily specialty cocktails. The service at the front desk, restaurant, and bar was good, with one exception: a waiter named Mohammed at the Oriental restaurant completely ignored us. When ordering, all the foreigners who arrived after us were served, but he didn't acknowledge the four of us. I tried to catch his eye several times, but he looked right through me. Eventually, I had to wave him down and directly ask him why he couldn't see me, and only then did he quickly serve our food. The Oriental restaurant was our only somewhat negative experience; everything else felt great. For an all-inclusive hotel costing just over 1,000, it offers excellent value for money. Overall, I highly recommend it."

"The receptionists at check-in were friendly and efficient, and they handled everything quickly and efficiently, which was certainly a relief. Arriving at the hotel at 4:00 PM, my reservation form had already been printed, so I only spent time signing and scanning my passport. They gave me a key and showed me through. The rooms were hairless, as is usually the case in all Egyptian hotels. They were very well cleaned, even the balcony was free of dust or sand, which was also a relief. There were two bottles of water in the refrigerator. A minor downside: the bed linen was synthetic, which isn't very pleasant to sleep in."

"This booking offered excellent value for money. Although the hotel facilities are a bit old, they are generally very well-maintained. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly; on the day of check-in, the front desk attendant personally escorted us to our room. Because I was exhausted from diving the day before, I requested a late check-out, and after checking availability, the staff readily agreed."

"I believe this would be my favorite hotel no matter how many years pass."

"PART 1! please, check on the other ones after for full review Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hurghada – A 5-Star Resort That Feels Like 2 or 3 (depending on the topic). Before booking Steigenberger Aqua Magic Hurghada, we did our research—watched videos, checked reviews, and set our expectations accordingly. Listed as a 5-star hotel on Google and TripAdvisor, we expected a premium experience. However, once we arrived, we quickly realized that the reality fell far short of the rating. 1. The “All-Inclusive” That Isn’t Quite All-Inclusive The hotel advertises six restaurants, but the all-inclusive package only grants access to three—and even that comes with strict limitations. You must stay at least five nights to even qualify for reservations; otherwise, the buffet is your only guaranteed option. But even if you meet the criteria, getting a reservation is a struggle, and once inside, you’re pushed to pay extra for items outside the package. The upselling is relentless, from premium wines to certain dishes, turning what should be a relaxing meal into a sales pitch. Oh, and if you were hoping for fresh juice with breakfast? Extra charge. 2. Facilities: Decent, But Not 5-Star Worthy ✔ The pool, beach area, and lounge are well-maintained. ✔ Bars are available all day, and staff work hard to keep areas clean. ✖ Some rooms show clear signs of neglect, making this feel nowhere near a true 5-star hotel. If this hotel were truly 5-star, there wouldn’t be visible maintenance issues, questionable service, and inconsistent quality across the board."

"We felt comfortable during our stay. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our requests were dealt with immediately. The area is safe and very beautiful. We loved walking at night."

"Отель хороший. Бассейн внутри здания, безветренный. Большие порции в столовой. Стабильный интернет. Шумновато с дороги, но есть номера, которые окнами внутрь здания. Внизу здания есть магазин с большим ассортиментом продуктов"

"12 yaşında ikiz çocuklarımızla otele giriş yapmak için vardığımızda, ekstra 700 dolar ödemek zorunda kaldık. Kasım ayında 13 yaşına girecekler. Fakat otel, ısrarla çocuklar 12 yaşında değiller. Tripten çok az ödeme yapmışsınız, ya ödemeyi yapın ya da gidin dediler. Mecburen 700 dolar ödeme yapmak zorunda kaldık. Bizim gibi hüsrana uğramamak için yaş konusunda gerekirse, 1 yaş büyük seçin. Temizlik konusuna gelince, görevli yere parfüm sıkıyor sonra da üzerinden iğrenç paspasıyla siliyor, o kadar. Balkonumuz her gün toz içindeydi, hiç temizlenmedi."

"Typical Egypt with its typical nuances. There's a high turnover of people; to eat, you have to try to find a place inside, and if outside, you have to manage to eat before the crows eat your food. The food selection is average, as is the quality (my tummy was pretty upset after my last dinner). I stayed in the ”new” building, 6232. It's the very last building on the left side of the sea pool. As far as I know, compared to the old building, it's Luxury. I had virtually no complaints about the room. The lights worked, the air conditioning worked, the shower/toilet worked. The linens didn't feel fresh at all, though... There were ants wandering around the refrigerator, but that must have been something the previous guests left for them to eat. The room was superficially cleaned; beach sand from previous guests remained during my stay and never disappeared. The staff were top-notch! On beer since 10:00 and with the vibe of the 2000s)) It's perfectly fine to hang out for three days."
