A1 Deluxe Apartments

A1 Deluxe Apartments Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to A1 Deluxe Apartments on Al Cornish Road, I’ll be honest — the name had me expecting something a bit more upscale than what this three-star property actually delivers. But you know what? Sometimes that works in your favor. This place sits right next to the Tiba Rose Hotel, and while it’s not trying to compete with the flashy resorts down the beach, it’s got this unpretentious charm that actually grew on me pretty quickly.

Location & Getting Around

The location is honestly the star here — recent guests have been rating it 8.0 out of 10, and I can see why. You’re basically on Hurghada’s main strip without the chaos of being right in the thick of things. The Red Sea is literally a few minutes’ walk away, and you’ve got easy access to all the diving shops and restaurant that make this area popular with couples (which explains why so many pairs end up loving this spot). What really sold me though was the free parking right on site — trust me, that’s not something you find everywhere along this stretch of coast.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t hotel room in the traditional sense — you’re getting an actual apartment setup, which means you’ll have space to spread out and a kitchen to work with. The space I stayed in was clean and functional, though don’t expect premium finishes or designer touches. I mean, it’s a three-star place, so manage your expectations accordingly. But honestly, when you’re spending most of your day out exploring or diving, having a comfortable base with some extra space and the ability to make your own coffee in the morning? That’s pretty valuable.

What Works Here

The staff actually knows the area well and can point you toward the better dive operators — something you don’t always get at the bigger resort properties. I found myself asking the front desk about local spots more than once, and they never gave me the generic tourist answers. The building itself is quiet enough that you can actually get some rest, but you’re still close enough to walk to dinner without needing a taxi every night. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re staying somewhere with a bit of local character rather than just another cookie-cutter hotel.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t going to be the most Instagram-worthy place you’ll ever stay, but it delivers on the basics really well. The 7.7 rating makes sense — it’s solidly above average without being exceptional. Couples seem to particularly appreciate having their own space and the freedom that comes with an apartment-style setup. Plus, when you factor in that prime location and the fact that you’re not paying resort prices, it starts to feel like a pretty smart choice. If you’re the type who values being well-positioned over having fancy amenities, this place will probably work out better than you’d expect.

Exploring Hurghada blends coral gardens, Bedouin desert banquets, and palm-lined promenades glowing with Red Sea sunsets.
