Hotel Description
You know what struck me first about El Andalous? It’s not trying to be something it isn’t. This 3-star spot in Sahl Hasheesh actually gets the basics really right – and honestly, that sea view from the apartment balcony hits different when you’re sipping your morning coffee. I mean, you’re literally looking out at the Red Sea, and the way the light catches the water around sunrise is pretty spectacular. The building itself is nothing fancy from the outside, but once you’re inside your unit, it feels like you’ve got your own little slice of the Egyptian coast. The apartments are properly spacious too – not like those cramped hotel rooms where you’re fighting over outlet space. You’ve got a kitchen that’s actually functional (rare in vacation rentals, let’s be honest), and the air conditioning works without sounding like a jet engine, which is crucial when Hurghada hits those 40-degree days.
What I really appreciate about this place is how it sits in Sahl Hasheesh – it’s about 20 minutes south of central Hurghada, which means you’re away from the chaos of Sheraton Road and all that tourist madness, but you’re not completely isolated either. The area’s got this more laid-back vibe, and the beaches here are genuinely some of the better ones along this stretch of coast. Less crowded, cleaner water, and the coral’s in better shape if you’re into snorkeling. The staff at El Andalous are solid – they know the area well and can point you toward the good local spots (there’s this little seafood place about 10 minutes away that doesn’t look like much but does incredible grilled fish). Parking’s never been an issue when I’ve stayed, and check-in is refreshingly straightforward – no endless paperwork or pushy upsell attempts. The 8.3 rating makes sense because it delivers on what it promises without any nasty surprises. Sure, it’s not luxury – the furnishings are a bit dated and you might hear some plumbing noise from upstairs occasionally – but for the price point, you’re getting genuine value.
Here’s the thing about Sahl Hasheesh that a lot of people don’t realize: it’s actually a planned resort community, so everything feels more organized and maintained compared to older parts of Hurghada. The roads are better, there’s less random construction noise, and you can actually walk around in the evenings without dodging traffic. El Andalous fits perfectly into this environment – it’s comfortable, reliable, and gives you that home-away-from-home feeling without breaking the bank. If you’re the type who wants to cook some meals in rather than eating out every night, or if you’re traveling with family and need space to spread out, this place really works. The sea view isn’t just marketing speak either – you’re genuinely watching boats drift by and catching those incredible Red Sea sunsets from your own terrace.

Reviews
Blal from Egypt – 7 September 2024 (7/10)
The view on the beach is magnificent.
The apartment was well equipped and well furnished.
What could be improved: -Limited parking slots.
-Damage deposit was a little bit inconvenient, to be that high in cash and in foreign currency.
-No wifi in place.
-Air conditioner was weak.
-Toilet's tap needs to be fixed.
-Pools are not safe , in 4 days I witnessed myself 2 drowning cases.
-Because of the rocky nature of the beach, swimming there was a bad experience.Dr from Egypt – 20 June 2025 (9/10)
Everything was perfect. The apartment was fully equipped with all the latest appliances. The beach was very close.
