Hurghada-Magawish Studio 2

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Hurghada-Magawish Studio 2 – it’s not going to blow you away, but honestly? It does exactly what it says on the tin, and sometimes that’s all you need when you’re planning a Red Sea getaway without breaking the bank.

The location is actually pretty smart. You’re in the Magawish area, which means you’re close enough to the main Hurghada action but far enough out that you won’t hear drunk tourists stumbling back from the bars at 3 AM (trust me, that matters more than you think). The studio setup works well if you’re the type who just needs somewhere clean to crash between diving trips or beach days. I mean, we’re talking basic here – think kitchenette, decent bed, bathroom that does the job. The air conditioning actually works, which… well, if you’ve spent any time in Egypt during summer, you know that’s not always a given.

What I really appreciated was how the staff seemed to genuinely care about helping you figure out Hurghada, rather than just pushing expensive hotel excursions. They’ll point you toward the local buses that’ll get you to the marina for a fraction of what a taxi costs, and they know which dive shops give honest prices to foreigners. The area itself has this sort of residential feel – you’ll see Egyptian families going about their daily business, kids playing football in the streets, that kind of authentic slice of life you miss when you’re stuck in the tourist bubble further south. There’s a decent little market within walking distance where you can grab fresh fruit and bottled water without paying resort prices.

Now, let’s be real about the 7.3 rating – it reflects exactly what this place is. The WiFi can be spotty (though it usually works fine for WhatsApp and basic browsing), and don’t expect fancy toiletries or daily housekeeping unless you ask. But the essentials are solid, the price is honest, and you’re getting genuine value rather than paying extra for amenities you probably won’t use anyway. If you’re someone who spends most of your time exploring – hitting up the coral reefs, wandering through the old town, or taking day trips down to Luxor – this studio gives you a comfortable base without the inflated costs of the flashier places. Plus, staying here puts you closer to how regular Egyptians actually live, which I found way more interesting than another sterile resort experience.

  Der Pool war ok
  
  What could be improved: Die Sauberkeit speziell im Badezimmer ließ zu wünschen übrig, mochte nicht duschen und das Waschbecken könnte man auch mal von unten putzen. Keine Möglichkeit ein paar Kleider aufzuhängen. Die Klimaanlage ist zu laut.

  4h avant mon arrivé l’hôte me dit de ne pas venir, alors que je suis une fille seule en egypte je me suis retrouvé avec nul part où dormir a 4h du matin, et je n’ai jamais été rembourser et l’hôte n’a plus jamais répondu à mes messages. A fuir
