Nice Studio in Elegant Compound Intercontinental Area

Hotel Description

So I stumbled across this little gem on the Hurghada-Safaga Road, and honestly? It’s one of those places that totally surprised me. The name’s a bit of a mouthful – “Nice Studio in Elegant Compound Intercontinental Area” – but don’t let that throw you off. What you’re getting is basically a really well-thought-out studio setup inside this gated compound that feels way more upscale than you’d expect for a 3-star spot.

The location is actually pretty clever if you know Hurghada at all. You’re far enough from the main tourist chaos of Sekalla and the marina area to get some peace, but close enough that a quick taxi ride gets you wherever you want to go. I mean, the Red Sea is right there, and you’re positioned perfectly between the airport and the dive sites down toward Safaga – which, you know what, if you’re into diving, this is kind of the sweet spot. The compound itself has this surprisingly quiet vibe, especially in the evenings when you can actually hear the waves if the wind’s right. There’s decent parking (always a concern in Egypt), and the security setup made me feel comfortable leaving my gear while I was out exploring.

What really got me about this place was the attention to detail in the studio. The kitchen setup is actually functional – I’m talking proper fridge space and a stovetop that works, not just some mini-bar situation. The air conditioning runs quietly (thank god, because August in Hurghada is no joke), and there’s this nice little seating area by the window where I ended up spending my mornings with coffee, watching the compound wake up. The bathroom’s compact but well-designed, with water pressure that’s honestly better than some 5-star places I’ve stayed at along the coast. You can tell someone who actually uses these spaces had input on the layout.

The whole compound has this sort of residential feel that I really appreciated – it’s not like staying in a hotel where you’re just another tourist. You’ve got families living here, kids playing in the courtyard areas, and this genuine community vibe that made me feel less like a visitor and more like a temporary neighbor. The management is responsive without being hovering, and check-in was refreshingly straightforward. During the day it stays pretty quiet since most people are either at work or at the beach, but evenings have this nice energy with people grilling on their balconies and the smell of traditional Egyptian cooking drifting around. If you’re the type who wants to experience a bit of actual local life rather than just the resort bubble, this hits that sweet spot perfectly. Plus, with that perfect 10 rating, you know other people have figured out what makes this place special too.

  What could be improved: Sometimes I can’t use hot water. But It doesn’t bother me that much because it’s hot in Egypt!
