Apartment in Florenza Khamsin

Hotel Description

So here’s the thing about the Apartment in Florenza Khamsin – it’s actually one of those places that surprises you in the best way possible. I mean, when you first pull up to this spot on Cornish Road, you’re not expecting much from a 3-star place, but honestly? This little gem punches way above its weight class.

The location is what really gets me excited about this place. You’re literally in the Arabia Area, which – if you know Hurghada at all – puts you right in this sweet spot where you can walk to the marina without dealing with all the tourist chaos, but you’re still close enough to everything that matters. The apartment setup is perfect for people who actually want to live a bit like a local instead of being stuck in some sterile hotel bubble. You’ve got your own kitchen (which saved me a fortune on breakfast), and the whole vibe is just… relaxed, you know? I actually found myself hanging out on the balcony way more than I expected, just watching the street life below with my morning coffee.

What really struck me was how quiet it gets at night, even though you’re on a main road. The building seems to block out most of the street noise, and honestly, after a long day exploring the Red Sea, that matters more than you’d think. The check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – none of that endless paperwork drama you sometimes get. And here’s something I loved: the local shops right downstairs where you can grab fresh bread and actual Egyptian tea, not the tourist-trap stuff. The whole Arabia Area has this authentic feel where you’ll hear more Arabic than English, which I found pretty refreshing after spending time in the more touristy parts of Hurghada.

Look, I’m not saying it’s the Ritz – the furnishings are simple, and the WiFi can be a bit temperamental during peak hours. But there’s something genuinely appealing about a place that doesn’t try to be something it’s not. The apartment was clean, the air conditioning worked perfectly (crucial in Egyptian heat), and the shower pressure was actually decent. Plus, you’re about a 10-minute walk from some of the best local seafood spots that most tourists never find. If you’re the type who likes to explore beyond the resort bubble and wants a real taste of what living in Hurghada might feel like, this place hits that sweet spot between comfort and authenticity that’s honestly pretty hard to find.
