As many Egyptian hotels have raised their accommodation prices after a long hiatus, Ukrainians have begun to choose more budget hotels to save on holidays. In this Arab country, you can really find cheap places to live, but not everyone is satisfied with them. In the material “DIP” – about how Ukrainians rest in budget hotels in Egypt.
One of the most budget hotels in Egypt is located in the new resort of Soma Bay near Hurghada. The hotel is on the first line by the sea, but the beach still has to walk 10 minutes. The price for the hotel is 1450 hryvnias per night for two. Many tourists note the good value for money, because compared to other hotels with sky-high prices, these “four stars” no longer seem such a bad option. However, most tourist reviews are still negative. Some of them are related to food and buffet.
“It’s always the turn of the distribution, and the waiter decides how many pieces of a dish to put on your plate. The menu is the poorest! the same every day, and what is not milked for lunch, served for dinner “,” Food is lower than any plinth. There is no choice, to put it mildly. Everything that is not eaten for breakfast is served for lunch. And so There are bars, but the assortment is the same as in the Soviet glass “(Ed. note – here and further the spelling and punctuation of the author are preserved).
Tourists also complained that the infrastructure in the Soma Bay area is not yet developed, so the hotel is probably operating in experimental mode.
Another all-inclusive hotel with a price of 1860 hryvnias per night for two is located 3.7 kilometers from the center of Hurghada. Due to the fact that many rooms are booked for the summer, tourists like it. However, here you can find a lot of negative reviews, for example, Russian tourists complain about discrimination in the hotel.
“During dinner at a restaurant by the pool, the chef did not allow us to put shawarma in a plate, saying that it is intended only for Germans, despite the fact that we had similar bracelets,” “We did not work safe, and the administration, knowing this, told the cleaners. What do you think, the money from the pockets went somewhere, and this only happens with Russian tourists, “” I was the only one in the crowd not allowed in the cafe for dinner because I was in shorts! ”
If you look at other hotels in Egyptian resorts in a similar price range, you can find some patterns. If you choose a budget hotel, you will have to put up with the lack of internet in the room, long queues at the buffet, poor nutrition, as well as the lack of animation or horrible entertainment.
