Magawish

Magawish Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Magawish, you immediately get that feeling of finding something special without breaking the bank. This three-star property in Hurghada has this relaxed, unpretentious vibe that honestly feels more authentic than some of the massive resort chains nearby. The lobby isn’t trying too hard to impress — it’s clean, welcoming, and you can tell the staff actually cares about making your stay comfortable rather than just going through the motions.

Location & Getting Around

The location is genuinely fantastic, and I mean that — recent guests have rated it 8.8 out of 10, which tells you something. You’re in the Magawish area, which puts you close enough to Hurghada’s main attractions without being stuck in the tourist chaos. What I really appreciated was the free parking right on site, which is actually harder to find than you’d think in this part of town. If you’re planning to rent a car and explore the Red Sea coast (and you should), this makes life so much easier.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d want from a solid three-star place — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged. Nothing fancy, but everything worked properly, which honestly matters more than marble countertops when you’re spending most of your day out exploring or diving. The air conditioning was reliable (crucial in Egypt’s heat), and the bed was actually comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up with a sore back. You know what impressed me most? The attention to small details, like having enough outlets near the bed and decent water pressure in the shower.

Why Couples Love It

There’s something about Magawish that particularly appeals to couples — the feedback consistently shows pairs rating their experience highly here. I think it’s the intimate scale of the place combined with that prime location. You’re not lost in a sea of families and tour groups like at some of the mega-resorts. The atmosphere feels more personal, more connected to the actual character of Hurghada rather than some sanitized vacation bubble. Plus, being able to easily walk to local spots for dinner or drinks means you can have those spontaneous moments that make trips memorable.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

With a 9 out of 10 rating, Magawish is clearly doing something right, and after staying there, I get it. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re getting genuine value — not just a cheap place to sleep, but an actual base for exploring this incredible part of the Red Sea. The staff seems to understand that travelers want authentic experiences, and they’re happy to point you toward the good local dive shops, restaurant recommendations that aren’t tourist traps, and those hidden beaches that make Hurghada special. Sometimes the best hotels aren’t the ones trying to be everything to everyone — they’re the ones that do the fundamentals really well and let the destination shine.
