Princess resort

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Princess Resort? It’s actually positioned perfectly right on Hurghada’s tourist promenade – and I mean right on it, not some marketing “close to everything” nonsense. You step out the front doors and you’re literally on الممشى السياحى, which honestly makes all the difference when you want to grab a late dinner or just wander around without dealing with taxis.

The thing about five-star places in Hurghada is they can feel sort of… manufactured? But Princess Resort has this lived-in elegance that works. The lobby’s got that polished marble thing going on without being cold, and the staff – well, they actually remember your name after day two, which surprised me. I mean, the check-in was smooth (no weird deposit drama), and they sorted out my room preference without the usual back-and-forth. The rooms themselves are spacious – I’m talking proper space to spread out your stuff, not just enough room to squeeze around the bed. Air conditioning that actually works quietly, which anyone who’s stayed in Egypt during summer will appreciate.

What really sets this place apart though is how they handle the Red Sea access. The beach setup is thoughtfully done – they’ve got the loungers spaced so you’re not listening to your neighbor’s phone calls, and the reef access is genuinely good. I’ve stayed at places where they promise great snorkeling and you end up swimming over dead coral, but here the marine life is actually thriving just off the shore. The dive center on-site knows their stuff too – they pointed me toward some spots I never would’ve found on my own. Food-wise, honestly, it’s better than it needs to be. The main restaurant does this thing where they rotate regional Egyptian dishes alongside the international buffet, and their seafood is clearly coming in fresh (you can tell because it doesn’t have that frozen-too-long texture). Room service showed up hot and on time, which seems basic but you’d be surprised how often that doesn’t happen.

Here’s the thing about the location – you’re close enough to Hurghada’s action that you can easily explore the souks and local restaurants, but far enough from the main hotel strip that you don’t get the constant noise and crowds. The promenade right outside is perfect for evening walks, and there’s this little coffee spot about five minutes down that locals actually use, not just tourists. Parking’s no issue if you rent a car, and the hotel’s position makes it easy to day-trip to places like Luxor without the logistics headache. The 9.2 rating makes sense when you add it all up – it’s not trying to be the flashiest place on the coast, but everything just works the way it should. I’d definitely come back, which honestly I don’t say about most places.

• Oleksandr from Ukraine – 21 December 2024 (10/10)

  Everything is new, the room and the condo. Beach is free and great. The owner kindly provided with 2 new pillows (instead of one which is very long).
  Liquid soap is included.
  Washing maschine works well (washing liquid is provided). Self checkin and checkout.
  Carefour big supermarket is 1min away.
  Very nice promenade outside.
  
  What could be improved: The bed linen quality can be improved (at least duvet cover should be provided).
  The room size is not big.
  The internet quality is avarage and not very stable (since it's a sim card internet, not wired internet).

• Petra from Germany – 29 April 2025 (10/10)

  Nur wenige Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt, aber trotzdem sehr ruhig.
  Supermarkt nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar, kürzere Strecke über den Parkplatz.
  Auf der anderen Straßenseite geht es zum eigenen Strand, entweder man läuft oder benutzt die kleine Bimmelbahn.
  Wir werden definitiv wieder kommen.
  
  What could be improved: Einziges Manko, es war keine Fliegengittertür an der Balkontür .

• Atasoy from Turkey – 23 January 2025 (9/10)

  Otelin konumu çok iyi personel yardımcı gürültü yoktu

• Léa from France – 20 February 2025 (6/10)

  L'emplacement était très bien, il y avait une plage privée au pied de l'hôtel et un carrefour juste à côté pour aller acheter le nécessaire. L'hôtel est situé près de plusieurs restaurants. Pour la plage, il y a plusieurs transats. L'extérieur du bâtiment est sympa avec la piscine au milieu.
  
  What could be improved: Il y avait plein de défauts dans le logement: robinet qui fuyait et dégât dans le meuble, porte vitrée qui ne fermait pas, pas de pression pour la douche et l'eau allait dans toute la salle de bain, pas de papier toilette quand on arrive, aucune indication pour trouver notre chambre, frigo sale, ventilateur mal fixé, trous pas rebouchés, qu'une petite couverture pour le lit, des tâches sur le canapé et le lit, etc
