Hotel Description

So I stumbled across Florenza Khamsin apartment F7 during one of those “let’s see what’s available last minute” searches, and honestly? I’m kind of glad I did. It’s tucked away in the Arabia Area along Cornish Road – you know, that stretch where the real Hurghada starts to show itself beyond the tourist bubble. Three stars on paper, but that 8.6 rating isn’t just people being generous.

The thing about this place is it actually feels like staying in someone’s well-kept apartment rather than another cookie-cutter hotel room. I mean, the building itself – Florenza Khamsin – has this sort of lived-in Mediterranean vibe that works surprisingly well in Egypt. The F7 unit specifically caught me off guard with how spacious it was. You walk in and there’s this immediate sense of “oh, I can actually spread out here.” The kitchen setup is practical too, which matters more than you’d think when you’re tired of restaurant food and just want to grab some fresh bread from the local bakery and make your own breakfast.

What really won me over was the location’s sweet spot factor. You’re close enough to Cornish Road that getting to the marina or the main hotel strip is easy – maybe a 10-minute walk to where all the dive shops cluster together – but far enough into the Arabia Area that you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of tour buses and street vendors at 7 AM. The neighborhood has this authentic rhythm to it; you’ll hear the call to prayer echoing between buildings, catch whiffs of actual Egyptian cooking from nearby apartments, and the local coffee shop down the street serves proper Turkish coffee that’ll wake you up faster than any hotel lobby brew.

Parking wasn’t the nightmare I expected either, which… if you’ve driven in Hurghada, you know that’s saying something. The building’s entrance is straightforward enough that taxi drivers don’t give you that confused look when you tell them the address. Check-in was refreshingly human – none of that overly rehearsed hospitality theater you get at the big resorts. Just practical people who know their property and can tell you which mini-market stays open late and where to catch the microbus if you’re feeling adventurous.

The apartment itself handles the heat well, actually. Good cross-ventilation and the AC doesn’t sound like a tractor starting up, which honestly puts it ahead of some four-star places I’ve stayed at. You can hear the neighborhood settling down in the evenings – kids playing in the courtyard below, families gathering for dinner – but it’s not disruptive noise, more like a gentle reminder that you’re experiencing real Egyptian daily life rather than some sanitized version of it.

Look, it’s not going to blow you away with luxury touches or Instagram-perfect aesthetics. But if you want a genuine base for exploring Hurghada without paying resort prices or dealing with resort crowds, and you appreciate having actual space to breathe? This spot delivers. Plus that 8.6 rating makes sense once you’re there – it’s the kind of place that quietly exceeds expectations rather than overpromising and underdelivering.

    A great studio apartment with balcony in Florenza Khamsin Residential Apartments. Very helpful and pleasant host. Close to my two favourite diving bases. I really liked it. Same as the first time!

  • Tomaszb_ from Poland – 31 July 2023 (8/10)

    Great studio flat. Very clean. The residential complex Florenza Khamsin is very close to my two favourite diving centres. That's why I chose the location. I was very pleased with it. Excellent value for money! I'm not a beach goer but a diver. The place met my expectations.

    What could be improved: There's nothing really that I didn't like. I knew what I was booking.
