sheraton blaza 101 Overview

First Impressions

Walking into sheraton blaza 101, you’ll notice it’s not trying to be something it’s not — and honestly, that’s refreshing. This three-star hotel sits right on Sheraton Street in Hurghada, and while the name might suggest a connection to the big chain, it’s actually an independent property that’s carved out its own identity. The lobby feels welcoming without being flashy, and the staff genuinely seems happy to see you arrive. The property showcases traditional Egyptian architectural elements throughout its common areas, creating an authentic atmosphere that immediately transports guests into the local culture.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s what I love about this spot — recent guests have rated the location a solid 9.0, and after spending time here, I get why. You’re positioned perfectly to explore Hurghada without being stuck in the tourist bubble that some hotels create. The Red Sea is easily accessible, but you’re also close enough to local markets and authentic Egyptian eateries that most visitors never discover. I mean, you can walk to genuine local spots where the prices aren’t inflated for tourists, which is honestly pretty rare in resort towns. The hotel’s strategic position allows easy access to both the marina district and the traditional souks of downtown Hurghada.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was clean and functional — think comfortable rather than Instagram-worthy. The air conditioning works well (crucial in Egypt’s heat), and the bed was actually more comfortable than I expected from a three-star property. What surprised me was how quiet it stayed at night, even though you’re on a main street. The bathroom was recently updated, and while it’s not spacious, everything works properly. You know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need after a long day exploring. Each accommodation features thoughtfully chosen furnishings that reflect local craftsmanship while maintaining modern comfort standards.

Practical Perks

The free parking on-site is a genuine blessing if you’re planning to rent a car and explore beyond Hurghada — many places in this area charge extra for that. The hotel also has a small restaurant that serves decent Egyptian breakfast, though I’d recommend venturing out for dinner to experience the local food scene. The Wi-Fi actually works throughout the property, which isn’t always a given in this price range. Staff members are attentive and responsive to guest needs throughout your stay. Additional amenities include a 24-hour front desk service and assistance with local tour arrangements.

Why Guests Love It

Couples particularly seem to appreciate this place, and I can see why — it strikes that sweet spot between being affordable and comfortable without feeling cheap. The location score of 9.0 isn’t just numbers; it reflects how easy it is to create your own Hurghada experience from here. You’re not locked into expensive hotel dining or tours, but you’re also not sacrificing comfort or safety. It’s the kind of place where you can base yourself while actually experiencing Egypt, rather than just staying in a resort bubble that could be anywhere in the world. The property offers genuine value for travelers seeking authenticity and meaningful connections with Egyptian culture and hospitality.
