Hotels near Soma Bay, Hurghada

The hotel is located in Soma Bay on the Red Sea, more than 40 kilometers from Hurghada Airport, not the majority of people living in Hurghada and Marti Bay. This position has advantages and disadvantages: the disadvantage is that there is no supporting business, there is no business to buy, no way to take a taxi, only the hotel car (no expensive); the advantage is quiet, the entire bay only Westin, Sheraton, Kempins Base and a diving club, so the beaches on the other side are European and American foreigners, did not see other Chinese. The Westin’s beach is far from the hotel and the hotel will be transported with the shuttle bus, so it is inconvenient to play with the sea. But we went to the Westin golf course, which was great. The facilities of the hotel are of course good, the building is renovated and the room pool gym breakfast, etc. are top notch. But I have to spit on the service. When checking in in the lobby, the attitude of the front desk was polite on the surface, but the room for us was particularly bad. I specially booked the golf sea view room and gave it to the far side. Since Soma Bay has not been fully developed, it is now undergoing major construction, giving me only 200 meters of work space in the room, which seriously affects the landscape and rest. I suggested that I had to change a room. The front desk lady was very reluctant to say that there was no sea view room. Then I insisted on asking, only to say that there was only a lower floor facing the room on the edge of the atrium pool. Later, when I was playing, I was close to the original room and found that there was no one in the area. If I stayed, I was the only one who lived near the construction site. After returning, I complained to Ctrip, and the hotel actually told us that Ctrip had changed the room. The sea view room has been upgraded to a pool room. The room service is basically not available. The service during the meal is also normal. After pouring the coffee, even if you add milk and sugar, you will walk away without much attention.

Ich komme schnell zu den Kritikpunkten, es gibt lediglich zwei aus meiner Sicht: erstens der Meerblick. Wir hatten extra dieses Hotel aufgrund des Blicks zum Meer hinaus gebucht. Natürlich garantiert niemand, dass die Bilder genauso sind wie das Zimmer selber, jedoch haben wir aus unserem Balkon auf eine große Baustelle geschaut und auch die Sicht aufs Meer wirklich minimal, da dazwischen auch noch eine große Hotelwand ragte. Vor Ort kann man dann ein Upgrade für zwölf Euro pro Tag pro Person buchen, was bei uns knapp 250 € gewesen wären und somit nicht mehr drin war. Hätte mir gewünscht, dass das online erkennbar ist… Andere Hotels haben oft unterschieden zwischen seitlichem Meerblick und Meerblick.  Der zweite Punkt waren die hohen Preise von Getränken und dem Essen a la carte. Ein Bier aus der Flasche zum Abendessen, was 6€ kostet. Oder eine Mahlzeit zum Mittagessen für 15-20 € ist einfach zu teuer. Die Preise sind in Ägypten. Gerade für Lebensmittel sind sehr billig in Ägypten und ich habe wirklich nicht verstanden, warum Preis Leistung schlechter als in den teuren Großstädten Deutschlands ist. Ansonsten wie in vielen Rezensionen beschrieben: das Essen war gut die Lage ist wirklich top direkt am Riff und die Leute sind fantastisch und freundlich. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und wenn wir noch mal nach Hurghada, zum tauchen oder kiten fahren ist das Hotel unsere Wahl.

The hotel is very beautiful, showing off the beauty of the sunrise over the Red Sea. There are three swimming pools, which are large and comfortable. The food in the restaurant is of high quality, especially the buffet. I hate buffets, but this high-quality and extremely rich buffet can last for several days.

The sea view room is still very beautiful, but the road in is still being repaired, there is a kind of isolation. It is also expensive to take a taxi to the city, more than 40km. If you like diving, there is a very beautiful underwater world here, but the deep asked the quotation is 50 euros, not cheap at all. Snorkeling saw very beautiful corals and fish. Can't live long, no nightlife.

The hotel owner is very friendly, the price is right, and there are quite a lot of Chinese.

At the moment, this is the best hotel in this price range that we have been to in Hurghada. It deserves to stay there permanently for a long time. The rooms are not run-down, bright. The breakfast is fresh, there is a choice. The coffee is really instant, but otherwise - excellent. Be sure to order with breakfast. The staff is friendly, and most importantly - honest! We forgot something when leaving, called a few hours later, then returned and they gave us the forgotten things without any problems. On the roof there is a swimming pool and a bar with billiards, table tennis, chess. And at the very top - a mini gym with a working treadmill, dumbbells, a bench, elliptical trainers. The location is quite good, the beach, shopping center are nearby. You can walk to the passport office, gauzet. The hotel has serious security, in bulletproof vests and armed, always on duty at the entrance. Wi-Fi works fine in the lobby. Unfortunately, it's paid in the rooms. Free but slow in the rooftop bar. We recommend this hotel - a good place!
