Studio in Selena Bay Hurghada

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to this studio at Selena Bay, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But honestly? Sometimes the star ratings don’t tell the whole story, and this little spot totally proves that point. The 9.8 rating actually makes sense once you settle in for a day or two.

The thing about staying in Selena Bay Resort is that you’re getting this perfect middle ground between the crazy hustle of downtown Hurghada and those massive all-inclusive compounds that can feel sort of… impersonal, you know? I mean, you’re still close enough to hit up the souks and the marina when you want some action, but you can actually hear yourself think here. The studio itself is compact but smartly laid out – whoever designed it actually understood that travelers need space to spread out their stuff without tripping over everything. The kitchenette is small but functional (I managed to make decent coffee every morning, which is honestly my main requirement), and the bathroom has proper water pressure, which you can’t always count on in this price range.

What really got me was how quiet it stays, even during peak season. You’d think being part of a resort complex would mean constant noise, but the way the buildings are positioned, you get these little pockets of calm. The balcony faces away from the main pool area, so you can sit out there in the evenings without listening to other people’s vacation conversations. And the Red Sea breeze – well, it’s something else entirely. I found myself spending way more time just sitting out there than I’d planned, especially around sunset when the light hits the water just right. The resort’s beach access is decent too, though you’ll want to grab a spot early if you’re there during German or Russian holiday weeks (they know their beach real estate, trust me).

Here’s what I really appreciated – the staff actually remembers you after the first day. The guy at reception, Ahmed, started asking about my diving plans by day three, and the housekeeping was consistent without being intrusive. Small things, but they add up when you’re trying to unwind. The location works really well if you want to explore beyond the resort bubble – you can catch taxis or the local minibuses pretty easily, and there’s a decent little market about ten minutes’ walk away where you can grab fresh fruit and snacks without paying resort prices. Parking was never an issue either, which is honestly a relief if you decide to rent a car and explore the desert or head down to Luxor for a day trip. The whole setup just feels… manageable, I guess. Not trying to be something it’s not, but delivering solidly on what it promises.

  Great Appartment for kiting at the nearby spot with very friendly owner. I can recommend the studio and will book again next time.

  Everything was great. It’s a quiet place without tourists. El Gouna and the windsurfing base are nearby. 20-25m by car to the city center. The private beach and good restaurant are on the territory of this complex. We really appreciate the hospitality of the owner Mahmoud.

  I was the first guest in this accomodation. Mahmoud the host was super nice ans welcoming and made sure I have everything I need during my time there. Everything was clean and I had a very comfortable stay. Right next to the Resort there is a Beach Club and a kitesurf school with a remarkable kite spot which makes this place a paradise for every kitesurfer.

  Die Unterkunft war perfekt . Es war alles da was man braucht . Ich habe mich von der ersten Minute an so wohl gefühlt. Mein Vermieter war sehr freundlich und hat immer wieder nachgefragt ob alles ok ist . Und auch das Personal in der Anlage war super nett . Vom Strandboy bis zur Security alles hilfsbereite freundliche Menschen . Die Anlage ist sehr ruhig und erholsam . Der tolle Ausblick von meinem Balkon und Appartment war ein Traum . Die Ausstattung ist sehr modern . Das Appartement ist gut durchdacht eingerichtet. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.
  
  What could be improved: Es ist alles super . Ein kleiner Tisch auf dem Balkon wäre mein einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag . Aber ich bin sicher , dass wenn ich das meinem Vermieter gesagt hätte , wäre nach 2 Stunden ein Tisch dagewesen . Sonst war alles perfekt .

  What could be improved: Gospodarz musi dokładnie opisać lokal gdzie się znajduje jaki to budynek, piętro, nr apartamentu.
  Będzie łatwiej przy odbierze i zameldowaniu
