Pool View Apartments at British Resort – Unit 15

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Unit 15 at the British Resort? It’s actually got one of the better pool views in the complex – and I mean that literally, not just marketing speak. When you step out onto that little balcony in the morning with your coffee, you’re looking straight down at the main pool area without having to crane your neck or squint through palm fronds like some of the other units I’ve seen here.

The apartment itself is pretty solid for what you’re paying – it’s got that lived-in feel that screams “actual vacation rental” rather than sterile hotel room. The kitchen’s functional enough if you want to grab groceries from the Carrefour down the road (honestly, eating out every meal in Hurghada gets expensive fast). The AC works well, which is crucial because even in winter this place can get warm, and the Wi-Fi is decent enough for checking emails or posting those obligatory pool photos. I mean, it’s not lightning fast, but it gets the job done. The furniture’s a bit dated – think early 2000s vacation vibes – but everything’s clean and the beds are actually comfortable, which matters more than fancy decor when you’re exhausted from a day at the beach.

Location-wise, you’re about a 10-minute walk to the main strip where all the restaurants and shops are, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with constant traffic noise. The resort has its own little shuttle that runs to the beach club, though honestly the walk isn’t bad if you don’t mind the heat. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night – the pool area winds down around 10 PM, so you can actually sleep with the balcony door open to catch that breeze off the Red Sea. The staff at reception speaks decent English and they’re pretty helpful with booking excursions or calling taxis, though like anywhere in Egypt, having a few Arabic phrases doesn’t hurt. One thing to keep in mind: the hot water can be a bit temperamental in the mornings when everyone’s showering, but if you time it right (or just wait until afternoon), you’re golden. For a 3-star place with a 7.2 rating, it delivers exactly what you’d expect – nothing fancy, but clean, comfortable, and with that pool view that makes your morning routine feel a little more like vacation and a little less like just another hotel stay.

  Aircondtioning var bra.
  
  What could be improved: Det var vatten avbrott två gånger. I andra gången blev det drygt 20 timmar utan vatten. Det var jättevarmt så vi var tvungna att köpa vatten flaskor. Toaletten var och handfatet var rostade. Knivir och tallriker var av plast och begagnade. Boendet var inte värt vad vi betalade för . Wi-fi var sporadisk.Jag önskade jag kunde få mina pengar tillbaka. Vi kände oss lurade.
