apartment with separate entrance near Arabia hotel

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The separate entrance actually makes all the difference. I mean, when you see “apartment with separate entrance” in the listing, you might think it’s just marketing speak, but honestly – having your own way in and out without bumping into other guests or feeling like you’re crashing at someone’s house changes the whole experience.

The location on Street 30 is pretty solid if you know Hurghada at all. You’re close enough to the Arabia Hotel that you can use it as a landmark when giving directions to taxi drivers (trust me, this helps), but you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of a big hotel lobby. Building 12 sits back from the main drag just enough that you won’t hear every scooter and car horn at 6 AM, which – let’s be real – is something you definitely want in this part of Egypt. The flat itself is on the seventh floor, so you’ll get some decent views if you’re lucky with the direction your windows face, though the elevator situation can be a bit hit-or-miss during peak season.

What I really appreciated was how the space felt like an actual apartment, not some hotel room trying to pretend it’s homey. The kitchen setup lets you grab groceries from the local markets instead of eating out every single meal, which honestly saves you a ton of money and gives you a break from restaurant food. The separate entrance means you can come and go whenever – no awkward lobby walks when you’re sandy from the beach or carrying shopping bags from the souks. Speaking of beaches, you’re positioned well for hitting different spots along the coast without being locked into one resort’s stretch of sand. The 7.6 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury, but it covers all the basics without any major headaches. I did notice the Wi-Fi can get a bit spotty in the evenings when everyone’s online, and the water pressure varies depending on the time of day, but that’s pretty standard for this area.

The three-star rating is actually perfect for what this is – you’re not paying for marble bathrooms and 24-hour room service, but you’re getting a clean, functional space with enough character to feel like you’re actually staying somewhere with personality. The building has that lived-in feel that you get in residential areas, which I prefer over the sterile hotel corridor vibe. Plus, being in a real neighborhood means you’ll stumble across little cafes and shops that cater to locals, not just tourists – always a win in my book.
